scissorhands 16 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Inside two months, we will listen to the Williams/Ross score of Harry Potter 2. I think it's a good moment to remember the other scores composed by two composers.These are the ones I know:Randy Edelman & Trevor Jones THE LAST OF THE MOHICANESMichael Nyman & Damon Albarn RAVENOUSHans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard GLADIATORBernard Herrmann & Alfred Newman THE EGYPTIANLet's add more binomials.

The Five Tones 302 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 The Belly of an Architect (1987) - Glenn Branca & Wim MertensBattlestar Galactica (1978) - Stu Phillips & Glen A. Larson (also the exec producer)Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) - Goldsmith & Alexander Courage (actually, maybe this wouldn't count as Courage only scored a couple of small bits that Goldsmith didn't have the time to do, and anyway was uncredited)How about a trinomial score:Monster's Ball - although the music was credited to "Asche & Spencer", it was actually by three colloborating composers (not a band) - Chris Beaty, Thad Spencer, and Richard Werbowenko.

Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) - Goldsmith & Alexander Courage (actually, maybe this wouldn't count as Courage only scored a couple of small bits that Goldsmith didn't have the time to do, and anyway was uncredited)But from what I've read, Fred Steiner contributed some complete cues to the score.

pianoman1 0 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 this one probably doesn't count but, Howard Shore and Enya, for Fellowship of the Ring?Sure Enya didn't do as much as Shore, but she did do the Theme for Aragorn and Arwin, if that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlao-roo 389 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 And the much-vaunted Mulan owes much to Matthew Wilder's melodic gifts (in the actual score, not just the songs), although Goldsmith fans invariably overlook his contributions.

PetePan 163 Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 I thought that The Rock was done by Hans Zimmer and Nick Glennie-Smith or whatever the name of this last guy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 I have remembered one (or three) more:HARRY GREGSON-WILLIAMS & JOHN POWELL, in Antz, Chicken Run and Shrek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 478 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 The Color Purple is probably the only score I can think of right now with nearly 10 different composers, there are probably others that have gone un-credited! Especially throughout the Golden Age with the famed studio music departments.The Zimmer team rarely compose by themselves. Even when Zimmer is soley credited as composer, invariably there are at least one or two cues that are composed by a colleague. 'Hannibal' is a good example, the highlight of that score was the Operatic cue by Patrick Cassidy.What about orchestrators?! Michael Kamen's 'Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves' had about 15 I seem to recall, mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 I recall the number being more like 12.And it's still a very 'Kamenesque' score.Stefancos- who loves that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morn 8 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 The Egyptian, Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann. Now, in those days it was like having Williams & Goldsmith or Morricone and Horner working on the same score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Williams and Goldsmith working on the same score.......that would be one of the best scores.....That would be interesting, but not to hearthe finished product.I bet the composing and recording sessions would be like getting Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston together to sing "When You Believe" from "The Prince of Egypt."Who does the conducting? How much music does each compose?Oh, the possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
