Incanus 5,715 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Speaking of legitimate, did they ever succeed rooting out those "fake" The Lord of the Rings symphony concerts that were touring Europe some time ago with the questionable arrangements of the music?Please explain!There were a few years ago some LotR concerts around Europe that were actually gobbled shoddily together from rather questionable arrangements of Shore's music that were not authorized by him in any way. I can't off the top of my head remember the orchestra's name but I believe they did quite a few concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 This seems like a more compelling and direct piece than the cello concerto, which while pleasant was definitely a bit meandering. I'm a fan.In all honesty, that Rachmaninov-esque second movement didn't impress me much at first listen, it seems to wander in a lyrical ear-pleasing land without any direction. Of course I will save any judgement for when I have listened to the entire concerto.As tannhauser points out, it's probably best to approach the second movement as a big extended development of the first movement rather than something new and fresh or whatever. I like this cyclical approach to form, and it's good to see someone like Shore utilizing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also aware Shore wrote this concerto as a sort of love letter to Chopin, so I can understand what he's aiming at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It's not like there's a ton of stuff to choose from, but the piano concerto and A Palace Upon The Ruins are my favorites of his concert music so far. Hope he continues to write (and record/release!), perhaps taking on some larger scale ensembles and forms too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Does anyone know if his concert piece "Orbit" can be heard anywhere? I found the score in Schott's catalogue and I'm really intrigued. It's basically his aleatoric film work expanded into a whole concert suite.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've thought of Young as the obvious choice for a while now, but he'd have to do certain things I've never heard from him before for it to be a worthy score.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hard to put into words, it's just an aesthetic or atmospheric quality. Young's music is very wrought and gothic and imposing, which works for one element of the Doctor Strange world, but there has to also be a lightness and mystic quality which I've never heard him do to my satisfaction.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is there one interpretation of the character? Or have there been several throughout the decades?

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The tone has always been pretty consistent, without any of the major shifts that, say, Batman went through.
