Incanus 5,715 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 A brilliant foreshadowing of The Emperors ThemeAlthough it didn't actually need foreshadowing. It shows up several times during the film itself with Darth Sidious. This silly carnival type setting is a fun little nod though to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,208 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The Cowboys A nice score. The concert arrangement (found on many compilation albums) contains all of the necessary highlights though.The suite is fabulous and has become a favourite of mine, but the score has some worthwhile bits that aren't in the suite.There's a fantastic rendition of it on the Boston Pops "By Request" albumThat and the Liberty Fanfare are what make that album a must have.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Legends of the Fall One of Horner's best. In its best moments, the score has melodramatic dramatic weight that few other film scores can top. That being said, the suspense music is pretty crummy.

Uni 306 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 48 Hrs. - This is one Horner score that doesn't sound like a Horner score, and can therefore be called one of his most unique and original works (I never noticed how he'd lifted the seven-note buildup to "Futile Escape" in Aliens from "The Alley" in this score, but 48 Hrs. came first, which means it's still original). However . . . that doesn't mean it makes for a very enjoyable listening experience. Mostly rhythmic, wandering chatter, without any thematic center and full of 80s-centric stylings and some rockin' blues songs to finish it off. If this is what original and unique Horner sounds like, then I'll be content to stick with his copycat ways.There's a fantastic rendition of it on the Boston Pops "By Request" albumThat and the Liberty Fanfare are what make that album a must have.And the best rendition of the "Mission Theme" you'll find anywhere. By Request remains one of his best-ever compilation works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it in his Langdon scores, probably because Howard liked certain little Hornerisms from their time together."Docking" was very much like "Docking" in Apollo 13 as well. Not sure whether that's because he was following Horner's excellent example, or if perhaps all NASA-style docking sequences are fated to sound like that.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I don't hear the docking similarities other than both being quietly tense. Nothing musically very similar. Horner's has much more in common with Holst's Neptune. Dust, for example. Soun ds rather Apollo 13/Sneakers like to meI'm not all that familiar with Sneakers. But yeah I can see the ethereal first half of that being **slightly** similar to some Apollo 13 moments. Like maybe the brief synth cue as Lovell looks out at the Earth shortly before re-entry.

I myself don't really care about the entire score (or how it's mis-used within the film) but it's interesting to hear Elfman going back to his more heroic roots that we didn't hear since... well...
