Andy 4,313 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yeah, it's really weird, the part about the orchestration. I'm not familiar enough with the Highlander score, but that seemed a perfect fit, until the orchestration facts debunked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockwave 8 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I hope noone minds but I found this regarding Young Guns II sdtkhttp://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=6344There's only one Silverstri track (short no doubt) on the official album.And if you scroll down there is the ummmm boot...So if not Highlander (hoping it would be) then maybe YG2.

Ollie 1,069 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I was thinking Flash Gordon too, but Howard Blake isn't a huge composer. Labyrinth has Trevor Jones but David Bowie isn't a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What about Debney's Hocus Pocus? I don't remember if it included trumpets or horns. Also not sure if another group wrote music inspired by it. And I'm not sure if Debney can be considered a major composer or if the film can be considered a mega hit.Ahh, nevermind. I just looked it upon Box Office Mojo and it grosed less than $40 million domestically...not what I'd call a mega hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,069 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have no idea, every score I come up with and research doesn't fit.It's probably something obvious and I'll smack my forehead when it's announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,252 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think the place to start is with "world premiere." What big composer has yet to have any release for a big score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,069 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well it depends on who you define as big composers.I would say it's probably something from either Conti, Barry, Kamen, or perhaps an older score by Bernstein or Mancini. Maybe Horner or Elfman fits in.Like I mentioned, I keep thinking of scores that feature songs / vocals written especially for the film and big composers and it either comes up empty or doesn't fit the clues or I'm not familiar enough with the music to recall the orchestrations.

Ollie 1,069 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well it's definitely not Highlander, Roger shot that down and clarified some of Doug's remarks. http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3841&start=135I believe the second title will be either The Great Escape, How The West Was Won or The Greatest Story Ever Told. The good news is that the 3 disc set will fall under the MAF series and sell for $19.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,616 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Doug says:Golly. I tossed in a few oddball clues and the thread goes bonkers. Okay, Roger... come back and I'll go back in the studio where I belong. I promise. I can't settle the "few" or "several" deacdes issue because I really don't know which word is more accurate. I trust Ron a lot so maybe I should just say the classic title comes from more than four decades ago but less than six decades ago... I think. (Besides giving out lame clues, I'm not so good with math, either.) Whatever. You sort of have the decade now.With regards to the hit movie release, my orchestration clue is probably a pretty decent one for you folks that like to stay on top of such details. The score does feature some 40 strings, a large low brass section with 4 trombones and 2 tubas (most orchestras just have 3 and 1), 7 percussionists, woodwind soloists, numerous keyboard players and so forth. That may not be a massive 100-plus orchestra like what Tiomkin put together for THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE but whenever you have some 65 players together in one room it's safe to call it a pretty big orchestra. But the intentional avoidance of high brass (trumpets and French horns) is the key clue, since orchestral music lacking BOTH of those instruments is quite unusual. (Goldsmith's CONTRACT ON CHERRY STREET is a rare earlier example.) The hit composer of our CD in question wanted this score to be exciting in a gritty fashion.So there you have more clues to the hit project, too. You now know the score is exciting and gritty and you know Goldsmith's CHERRY STREET comes before it.Now I have to get back to sales and inventory. Jeff and his crew are still out until Monday... and I'm pretty slow at real work. --DougAnd then Roger says:The three CD-set is a budget priced set at $19.99 in our unlimited MAF series. It's not really geared for folks in the usual soundtrack circles, since many have had ample time to get it. It's really a score that deserves to stay in print and is more for the Amazon.com crowd. Although we did fix a few anomalies and do some assembly that should have been done previously.The other score is not Highlander...and it may be arguable that the songs were performed by a "name" group, but one of the songs did catch the attention of many people. It is a largish orchestra, although that may not lead out at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 216 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well it's definitely not Highlander, Roger shot that down and clarified some of Doug's remarks. http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3841&start=135I believe the second title will be either The Great Escape, How The West Was Won or The Greatest Story Ever Told.

Seeing as not all album tracks on disc 3 were not incorporated into the score presentation, they may have sequenced it all in film order on the first two discs and then replicated the album again for the 3rd disc.

Ollie 1,069 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Congrats to Intrada for making Bernstein's wonderful score available again. I'll probably pick it up later on down the line, I have the Varese set but I would like to get the LP program again. And congrats on relasing a much requested Horner title.For those who wonder why it's 3 discs, while rights may have played a factor, I know Doug Fake has mentioned in the past about sequencing albums in a way he likes. So I would imagine it was his decision to put the LP separate. He even mentioned that's how he wanted to sequence Patton as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
