#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,511 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just...bringing this baby up on top. I expect it will be used more in the next few months.Newman is an outstanding composer and if anyone if qualified to step into John Williams' shoes it is him. I vastly prefer that he does it rather then Gia or Zimmer. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,785 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 He's a very talented composer and one of the most unique 'Murica has to offer at the moment.However, I'd like to hear a more disciplined side of his craft. His orchestral writing is extremely strong but criminally underused as well.Karol Code 000. Destruct. 0. and Once 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,511 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Well hopefully Spielberg will briung that out of him. He certainly did with Quincey Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,086 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You know (with 99% certainty) that he was hand-picked by John Williams for this.This is probably as close as a modern human can get to being picked by Marcus Aurelius to rule the Roman empire!I mean shit, already I can feel in my loins that I will take Thomas Snoo--Newman more seriously because of this.

Maybe as a producer or something? http://www.imdb.com/search/common Looks like the Amazing Stories episode "Santa '85", story and exec produced by Steven Spielberg, score by Thomas Newman - is it. That score was released here: http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.5019/.f I have that CD but don't remember the score at all. Been meaning to dig out those anthology CDs recently, actually.

Karol On my cell...You couldn't just name them could you? -_- But in al seriousness, those two are great scores. But what defines "focuses on his orchestral side"? Shawshank is primarily orchestral. Or do you mean in a more traditional sense, with use of the full ensemble? Either way, I just hope this film allows him to broaden his horizons a bit.

Shawshank is primarily orchestral. Or do you mean in a more traditional sense, with use of the full ensemble?What I'm saying is that Newman is a very eclectic composer and likes to experiment with stuff. Which is great. But I wish he employed a more limited palette every now and then and then developed his (great) ideas within that palette. The frustrating thing is that he's an excellent orchestral composer, with a very unique voice and I'd like to hear him write something purely in that idiom. Just because I like it.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 40,536 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 I wonder if at any point in 2002 or 2005 another composer was considered for Minority Report / Catch Me If You Can / War of the Worlds / Munich. That'd be an interesting question for an interviewer to ask Williams or Spielberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 40,536 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 No, I don't remember that! What's interesting about that score is the earliest cues Williams wrote didn't even have reel/part numbers assigned yet, so the cue numbers like "scene 38" instead of like a "4m2" type number. So he must have begun working on it before Spielberg had even assembled a cut of the full film. 2005 was a crazy year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though i think Spielberg will mandate his MAIN THEME, on thing he usually gets in one way or another. This will be no SALTON SEA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
