Heavy on choir and fanfares in a well-executed amalgam of modern techniques mied with classical styles (a bit reminiscent of Alex North and Britten). It's actually very good music, as Cordell's always was:

Doug Fake, MV Gerhard, and Bruce Kimmel have all confirmed that one of the specialty labels is working on The Ten Commandments since 2012 or so, so it's probably coming out this Easter time.

Actually, Jonesy got it wrong. After Moses smashed the original 10, he went back up Mt. Horeb, and got God to make another set. It was this set that was put in The Ark, and not the broken pieces.

Actually, Moses hewed and "wrote" that set.

Weren't there originally fifteen Commandments?

NO!!!!!

10 is all you need. Point-out the extra 5, please.

He dropped the last five. I thought The History of the World, Part 1 was standard high school curriculum.

Basil Poledouris - Flight of the Intruder

Flight of the Intruder just came out a year ago!

That's a cool score. Anyone who likes uplifting heroic Poledouris scores should give it a try.

It seems as if no one has noticed Intrada announced Young Sherlock Holmes is coming next week, along with a new Excalibur collection Rózsa recording! It'll be a great week!

OMG finally! Yay! Granted there has been around that complete promo album (was that what it was?) for a while, but it has of course been too expensive to own. And I am sure the sound will be greatly improved!

From Roger Feigelson on the Intrada message board:

A couple of changes because the mail room is still swamped from our last releases and I need to show some mercy. We're moving The Rescue to the 29th to be with the Muppets double header. Gets us back to our two every two weeks and won't overload the system. I know you guys get impatient when orders get backed up (and for those that refrain from sending an email asking where you order is, we greatly appreciate it!).

Maybe they're secrets? There's been times he never announced a release before as to wanted to keep it a surprise, IE: BTTF.

Solar Crisis
Composed and Conducted by MAURICE JARRE
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 281

For the 1990 film Solar Crisis, the filmmakers chose a composer by then known for his unique blend of synthesizers and acoustic instruments. With such varied projects as Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Solarbabies and Enemy Mine in his recent canon, Jarre seemed a logical choice for another big-budget sci-fi fantasy like Solar Crisis. But the score as heard in the film often bears little resemblance to the score as it was originally recorded. Because post of production tinkering, scenes were either rearranged or cut, disrupting Jarre’s original musical intent. In addition, entire sequences, including the film’s opening, were re-scored by Michael Boddicker. All of this makes finding Jarre’s vision (which is presented on this disc in its original order) within the film an exercise in futility. But certain moments stand out—some for their inclusion and some for their exclusion. One of the biggest omissions occurs right at the beginning—Jarre’s original “Prologue.” Jarre’s contribution sets up numerous musical elements that will be used throughout the score—an ominous low brass theme, trademark oscillating French horn chords, and a C-minor theme for clarinet and bassoon that comes to full orchestral fruition in the finale’s majestic choral passage.

Even in its truncated form within the film, Jarre’s distinctive musical voice still manages to shine through. But heard on CD in its complete, original form, Jarre’s score can be discovered for what it is—a prime example of his period blend of acoustic and electronic instruments, and a unique musical vision that shines in its originality. This premiere release of the score is presented from the two-track stereo session mixes of the print takes made by Shawn Murphy and preserved on two DATs

In the film, when a solar flare threatens Earth’s destruction, Captain Steve Kelso (Tim Matheson) leads a mission to detonate an anti-matter bomb within the sun before it’s too late. Along for the ride are Kelso’s admiral father (Charlton Heston), a test-tube hottie (Annabel Schofield), an evil corporate mogul (Peter Boyle) set on sabotaging the mission, and the HAL-like Freddy the Bomb (voiced by Paul Williams).

Judith
Composed and Conducted by SOL KAPLAN
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 277

The 1965 Paramount film Judith gave composer Sol Kaplan a rare opportunity to score a big-budget epic. The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, scored the same year and released recently by Intrada, was an espionage thriller who's chilly realism had called for a spare, bleakly moody score. In striking contrast, Judith’s bold melodrama required something big, which Kaplan handily provided. His robust score, performed by the Sinfonia of London, features two primary themes: a powerful, anthem-like theme for Judith, and a hora—a traditional Israeli folk dance— for the kibbutz and its people.

RCA Victor released a re-recorded LP album of Judith featuring 38 minutes of music, a fairly generous presentation for the period (sourced here from ¼? stereo tape album masters and presented on disc two). But Kaplan recorded well over an hour of music for the film and this Intrada presentation of the score (courtesy ¼? mono tapes from the Kaplan Collection at the University of Wyoming and featured on disc 1) reveals the composition’s full scope and variety for the first time.

Judith centers on events leading up to the partitioning of Palestine and the formation of the State of Israel during 1947 and 1948. Sophia Loren plays concentration camp survivor Judith Auerbach, who is smuggled into Palestine by the Haganah, the Israeli underground army, to help identify her former husband, Gustav Schiller (Hans Verner). Schiller betrayed Judith and her son to the Nazis to cement his position in the Party during the war. Now, the Haganah suspects he is training Arab tank commanders in Syria for an attack that will take place when the protective British Army forces withdraw. The fiery Judith takes the assignment, but she really intends to kill Schiller for causing the death of her son.

Intrada's first May batch

2014-05-13 Sol Kaplan - Judith (ISC277 - limited)

Judith got an album release? Sweet! Dreadful movie, but between this and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, I feel so spoiled with the Kaplan releases this year. Now that's a guy who never got his due.

(if you have ever wanted to know how it would sound if CAPRICORN ONE got gangbanged by BLUE MAX and STAR TREK, try this one!)

This is a completely unknown score to me but the preview clips sound quite awesome!

The movie is a howler: a Di$ney cold war 'adventure' movie about the true case of two families that escaped from East Germany by balloon. It looks like a WW2 propaganda movie complete with nazi officers right out of RAIDERS (and Goldsmith imagining east german 'folk' music that sounds like a french musette waltz).

Either way, almost entirely forgotten now (except in Germany where it is shown regularly on german union day) it afforded Goldsmith with several of his favourite themes, the exuberance of flying, the struggling family overcoming insurmountable odds and a larger-than-life goverment conspiracy. Stylistically an amalgam of BLUE MAX, CAPRICORN ONE and the Vejour music of STAR TREK, it's Goldsmith at the height of his powers, the strokes are larger than life, the orchestra massive and it consists almost entirely of through-composed set pieces that are just gone since the early 80's. If you don't have it you're in for a treat.
