Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Yeah! A lot of the appeal of the prequel scores, for me, are those stretches of music that are quite calm and don't seem too slavishly tied to the dramatic mood swings of the films. I love those stretches. They seem to create a musical environment that is the Star Wars universe, which you can bask in freely, without too much interruption from constantly shifting movie music syndrome. It's almost more like video game music, atmospheric and immersive, than the usual Williams/Star Wars operatic extremity. Simon McBride 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,716 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The Cowboys by John Williams: The album is short but sweet and a thoroughly entertaining Copland-esquely rousing affair. Home Alone by John Williams: In the honour of prodigious snowfall in the last couple of days (which made me think of Christmas) I took out the 25th anniversary version. Which I think is just splendid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Another one i hadn't much recollection about. The recording sessions leak didn't bring out much useful new material but the score as such is a really solid adventure score that betrays a talented craftsman (Shearmur orchestrated i. e. for Kamen, though his own music tends to be much more memorable). Like in 'Sky Captain' he utilizes some trusty old genre tropes and fuses them with more modern sensibilities: the trio of little scherzos are really fun and the expansive, hymnal main theme sticks (it's simple but effective and surely one of 2002's more memorable tunes). Actually, listening to it made me yearn for more Shearmur.. Who would've thought 15 years before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The score is very good, but not really all that memorable - and so it manages to surprise me every time I play it. But the track you posted is a major killer cue.

Popular Post #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2016 Has any track ever been more laden with impending death then this one? Quite simple musically, with its theme stated by an overamped electric guitar. Which seems incongruous for a western score, But the sound Morricone creates feels more like a knife, calmly but relentlessly stabbing away with icey strings crying in torment, till death inevitably follows. The last minute and 40 seconds plays like an elegy to the one killed, performed by the killer himself!

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 JFK. I only have a few tracks (Prologue/Motorcade/Drummers Salute/Arlington and reprise of the theme). Always feel this hopeful, inspired mood during Prologue ("Ask not what your country can do for you...") and then quite downbeat at Arlington, this sense of something lost. It's Motorcade I find tireless, I know the scene in question has Costner laying out the shooters lying in wait but in my mind it comes to mind of the motorcade turning round, Oswald (for arguments sake) getting ready and then the use of the theme, something about it -Kennedy flying into his fate. Anyway. The second half of Empire Strikes Back (i.e. Disc 2 of the soundtrack) - key tracks remain Carbon Freeze, Clash of Lightsabers and the end titles (the way the love them comes at the very end). And some John Barry -On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Alan Silvestri. The cue "Pandora's Box" is quite nice. Some nice ethnic instrumentation over the whole score. The film is a guilty pleasure but Silvestri didn't have much to work with. Few good cues like the one mentioned above. I prefer this one to Revell's score for the first but I think he had only five days to write it in! I think there's a "theme" of his which returns I think. At least I think so. Silvestri's score seems to have inspired the much better Tomb Raider: Legend but Steph doesn't want me to mention video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I listened to the wonderful 19 minute suite of The Reivers with Burgess Meredith narrating that appeared on the Williams/Boston Pops album "Music for Stage and Screen." Couldn't find the whole thing on Youtube, but here's an excerpt that you should absolutely listen to if you've never heard it before: That album, Music for Stage and Screen, is one of my favorite Williams/Pops releases, maybe my single favorite.
