crumbs 14,305 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Interesting, I always figured disc 1 was complete. I know contractually they weren't allowed to include anything except an exact repressing of the OST on disc 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I am going to listen to the OST right now. I love having the full score, but the OST is seriously one of his best albums. Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get into disc 1 so hard when the set was selling out but just couldn't, so I let it go. I listened to the OST some time after that and immediately fell in love!

Is it any good? I wonder if he could have gotten away with.that in.todays climate?😜I "....the unused score by Wynton Marsalis ...which was rejected when JW agreed to do the film....."

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Marsalis' Rosewood score was a snoozefest. I say this as someone who generally likes his original compositions pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,676 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 From a quick sampling of a few tracks, it sounds like source music from an upscale restaurant. No wonder it was rejected. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder it was rejected. Yes if the Marsalis' album Reeltime is truly the rejected music for the film, I wonder if there was a very different idea for the scoring approach when Marsalis was still onboard that was then deemed unusable or was there some serious miscommunication between the composer and Singleton in terms of the spotting and style of the score. It could also be another case where John Williams became available and SIngleton opted to use some of Marsalis' music as diegetic source music and hire Williams to do the dramatic scoring. The complete score combined with the extra material from the OST (which is indeed well put together), especially the three gospels, is my preferred listening experience of this score. There are many such wonderful little musical moments in the complete score that I feel add to the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,305 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Can anyone recommend a disc 1 + 2 assembly that combines all the material Williams recorded for the film, sans any duplicate cues/material? I haven't listened to the OST, truthfully. Sounds like I need to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConorPower 148 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I've returned to Rosewood recently for my research and am looking at the spirituals specifically. Am I correct in assuming Williams wrote the lyrics for these himself? I haven't seen any of his typical collaborators credited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondheim 1,157 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It is unfortunate that we have to edit two film versions ourselves if we want a truly accurate complete release. Hopefully someday someone is able to re-release this. It totally deserves it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondheim 1,157 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 The two cues with vocal performances that are only on the original album. Aunt Sarah’s Death is the OST cue with vocals that relates to the vocal-less Sarah is Shot. The Town Burns is the OST cue with vocals that relates to the vocal-less Burning Town.
