It's a shame he doesn't write like this anymore... "Fun Hans" is a much better composer than "Serious Hans." Das film muzik is ein very serious business! Not for ze funny stuff, ja!

Not Mr. Big 4,655 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Glory Haven't heard this one in a while (mostly due to its absence on Spotify), one of Horner's very best. My only real qualm about it is the poor, muted sound quality of the OST. Holes Pleasant, like the film. Very Thomas Newman-esque with a very slight touch of Williams Americana.

"Music and Mimicry in Sunset Boulevard" and "The Very Essence of Tragic Reality: Aaron Copland and Thomas Newman's Suburban Scoring." I mostly checked it out because an essay connecting the music of Copland and Newman was irresistible to me. https://www.amazon.com/Anxiety-Muted-American-Music-Suburban-ebook/dp/B00YD28OAO Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,727 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 A great score from a very uplifting film. "Are you going to die, or are you going to get better?" (pause) "I'm going to get better". Have you heard ETHEL AND EARNEST? Of course, he'll always be remembered for his brooding, yet urgent THE WORLD AT WAR.

crocodile 8,067 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Star Trek Beyond. A score that feels sadly incomplete on the OST and way too overlong on DE. At its best, it has some of the best music from the trilogy. Shame it isn't as consistent from start to finish. But DE is worth getting worth the concert version of Yorktown theme which is a single best thing from the three films: A possibly the single best theme GIacchino has ever written.

publicist 4,643 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Probably my favourite North score - and an underrated movie, one of the few mass entertainment movies care to dramatize the agony of artistic creation and making come alive the magnificent achievement of Michelangelo (the inevitable Charlton Heston in a surprisingly physical role). North responds with a gentle epic that counterpoint the divine string-led plight of Michelangelo with (sometimes aggressive) renaissance fanfares for his employer, 'warrior pope' Julius II (Rex Harrison, who reportedly hated Heston). The 40-minute Goldsmith re-recording is a perfect summation and here, for a change, the vastness of the concert hall sound is to the benefit of the music at hand. A must have. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
