#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Star Trek TMP is the better score. More complex. More varied, more epic, more...everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 ST:TMP is more varied, more colorful, but also less emotional. Their goals are different. They're rather incomparable.They are both better than the third choice though.But it has no organ! Yes it does, idiot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBard 71 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Is that poll a trick question? Anyway...Zimmer's Interstellar score sounds too homogenous with its tradtional choice of instrumentation, brassy fanfare with doubling strings and woodwinds, predictable chord progressions and common practice, and unwillingness to break out of conventional percussion colors to convey the vastness of outer space.Now Rjawadi's Star Wars score? THAT'S how you score for outer space! Extended technique, minimalism, ostinato, and aleatoric writing up the wazoo, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I've always liked Jerry Zimmer's Trek Wars, a score of truly epic proportions, may well be the only score in existence that is performed by a 250-piece orchestra and conducted by 2 different men at the same time, one on the stage and one behind a set of high end computers loaded with the latest tech in audio modulation software and all sorts of trickery to make orchestral music sound a little bit more electronic. Check it out, it's fantastic.Worst score I've ever heard is Goldsmith's (Interstellar Wars: The Motionless Movie), it features only 1,45 minutes of score, but I only like the first 15 seconds, with the little fanfare at the end. After that, it's just endless droning in the style of Hans Williams. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Soward Hhore? What a hack! His Ladies of the Roses trilogy has two themes, one for each character and each cue on the extended edition is a variation on the those themes.At 3 hours of material for each score, this got repetitive very quickly.
