Popular Post Jay 37,281 Posted June 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2016 Quote INTRADA Announces: THE ROCKETEER Composed and Conducted by JAMES HORNER INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 357I love aviation. I’ve always loved flying. I’ve always wanted to do a movie about flying. And I would love to do it. -- James Horner Just over a year ago the world lost maestro James Horner in a tragic accident. A year later we are still devastated by the loss, but resolved to continue to celebrate and preserve his musical legacy for generations to come. As part of that mission, and to keep his music in the forefront of our thoughts, Intrada presents an expanded edition of one of his most beloved scores, the 1991 Hollywood Pictures film, The Rocketeer. The score is particularly fitting because it embodies his passion for flying. But few films were about flight, at their core, the way The Rocketeeris, and Horner seized the opportunity to pen a musical love letter to his muse. He composed one of his most straightforwardly leitmotif-laden scores, with a main theme featuring two distinct personalities: one a calm, majestic melody, lovingly introduced over the film’s main titles; the other with a rocket pack strapped to it, ushered into service for action sequences. Horner wrote two other major leitmotifs: a pining, damsel-in-distress theme for Jenny, and a simple, slithering line for Neville Sinclair. The latter is a slice of uncomplicated menace, usually crawling upward on a solo woodwind or brass instrument. The former is a vintage love theme, oozing old Hollywood. Passion, wavering loyalties and danger are all cooked into Jenny’s theme, which Horner cleverly braids into the Rocketeer theme or Sinclair’s slimy motif as the story demands. For this important new presentation of James Horner’s dynamic score for The Rocketeer (including over 20 minutes of music not previously released), Intrada was given access to the complete scoring sessions captured on Sony PCM 3348 format 48-channel digital tape and mixed by Shawn Murphy to digital two-track stereo. We feature the entire 82-minute film soundtrack on CD 1 and the first part of CD 2. Following that, we present the original 1991 CD with its remixed album versions and various differences. After creating their film mixes, Horner and Murphy created several special album remixes. The remixes often spotlighted instrumental colors in ways that were different from the film versions, depending on what Horner was most interested in focusing on between the two mediums. In addition, knowing an album was planned, he composed and recorded a fully developed version of the love theme specifically for the CD, slated simply as “Love Theme” in the sessions and titled “Jenny” on the album. The film stars Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Timothy Dalton, Terry O'Quinn, Alan Arkin and Paul Sorvino. Cliff Secord (Campbell) is an All-American pilot whose life-changing discovery of a jetpack turns him into the crime-fighting Rocketeer.

One of Horner’s most popular scores, one he was particularly fond of, lands with more than 20 minutes of previously unreleased score! Walt Disney Pictures presents, Joe Johnston directs, Bill Campbell, Alan Arvin, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Sorvino, Timothy Dalton star. 1938. Nazi’s on the rise. All-American pilot Cliff Secord finds jetpack, suddenly becomes crimefighting hero The Rocketeer. Jenny Blake is his sweetheart, Neville Sinclair his evil nemesis, Peevy his mentor. All become embroiled in rip-roaring heroics and dazzling derring-do. Flying high alongside them is incredibly rousing, tuneful James Horner score. Primary theme for Cliff’s aerial exploits and dashing rescues anchors the action, dark low brass motif for Sinclair provides edged contrast. Gorgeous love theme also has its say, especially in richly developed treatment Horner recorded especially for the album. Even a couple of big-band standards in fresh arrangements made by legendary Billy May (Horner was particularly fond of 30’s and 40’s-era swing music) appear in both picture and album. Orchestral spotlight goes to “The Flying Circus”, an exciting tour-de-force for orchestra. Trumpets get a sizzling workout! Supercharged action also rears with “South Seas Send Up” (titled “Jenny’s Rescue” on the 1991 album) plus lengthy action finale, “The Zeppelin”. New cues include important early sequences “The Gizmo”, “Finding The Rocket”. Other new highlights: “Testing The Rocket”, “The Laughing Bandit”, “Lothar Gets Wilmer”. CD 1 (and part of CD 2) features everything Horner recorded for the film, including all scoring cues intact and uncut plus both big-band arrangements. Horner was fond of his 1991 album presentation, featuring his favorite highlights, often with unique edits, special takes and album remixes. Intrada happily keeps that album intact on CD 2. For this important presentation, Intrada was given access to the complete Sony 3348 format 48-track session masters vaulted by Disney in pristine condition and mixed to two-track digital stereo by Shawn Murphy. 20-page booklet with profuse color stills, text by Tim Greiving plus “flipper-style” cover designed by Joe Sikoryak adds touch of art-deco elegance to rewarding project. Fun tidbit: Horner was one of the very few composers who actually scored full end titles rather than leave them to music editors to “cut and paste” from existing cues. Typically he concluded them on exquisite, pianissimo chords for strings. The Rocketeer end credits instead climax in spectacular fashion with a resounding fortissimo coda for full orchestra. Bravo Maestro! John Neufeld, Elliot Kaplan, Billy May, Conrad Pope orchestrate, James Horner composes, conducts. Intrada Special Collection 2-CD set available while quantities and interest remain!

Jay 37,281 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 People on FSM are guessing it could be Kamen's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves or The Three Musketeers, though in Musketeer's case 1993 is in that odd position of "do you call that Early 90s or Mid 90s?"

Jay 37,281 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 82 minute main score program!! EDIT: Nevermind, it's only 82 minutes because the main program includes the pop songs mixed in between score cues. WTF? Since those are exactly the same in the album program anyway, why not just make Disc 1 be the complete score and have Disc 2 be just the OST? What a baffling programming decision!!!! Now we have to switch discs just to hear the main program because they mixed the pop songs into the score, this is baffling!! Here's the tracklist I would have done Disc 1:The Complete Score 01 Main Title (4:43) 02 The Gizmo (3:25) 03 Finding The Rocket (1:52) 04 Neville And Eddie (1:07) 05 Testing The Rocket (2:40) 06 Lothar Gets Wilmer (1:44) 07 The Helmet (0:45) 08 The Laughing Bandit (1:10) 09 Neville Eavesdrops (1:25) 10 The Flying Circus (6:35) 11 A Hero Is Born/Bye Bye Bigelow (2:51) 12 Jenny’s Rescue (3:52) 13 Cliff To The Club (0:49) 14 Cliff The Waiter (0:32) 15 South Seas Send Up (3:43) 16 Neville Sinclair’s House (7:19) 17 Cliff Caught (1:38) 18 Rendezvous At Observatory (8:10) 19 The Zeppelin (7:56) 20 End Title/End Credits (6:30) 21 Love Theme* (5:10) TOTAL TIME - 74:43 Disc 2: The Original 1991 Soundtrack Album 01 Main Title / Takeoff (4:43) 02 The Flying Circus (6:23) 03 Jenny* (5:10) 04 Begin The Beguine (3:44) 05 Neville Sinclair’s House (7:20) 06 Jenny’s Rescue (3:21) 07 Rendezvous At The Griffith Park Observatory (8:10) 08 When Your Lover Has Gone (3:28) 09 The Zeppelin (7:56) 10 Rocketeer To The Rescue/End Title (6:30) TOTAL TIME - 57:16 I'm sorry Intrda, I love you but the way you programmed this new release makes no sense!

bruckhorn 105 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I concur about putting the songs on CD2, but how many people still use physical discs after ripping to their computers for promulgation to various portable devices? As a pseudo-Luddite (I'm old enough to have owned 8-track tapes), I can see burning a CD with just Horner's music. As for the overall length. Sure Horner said it was 100 minutes, but on TWOK's featurette he said that the Enterprise Clears the Moorings track was 12 minutes. His job was composing and making things fit, not remembering numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 I get their wanting to stick to Horner's wishes, but damn, the OST album had existed for 25 years with the songs & love theme concert arrangement in between score cues - and that OST is here on the new release! The expanded release should have had just the Horner score, with the concert arrangement presented after, not in the middle. That program would fit on one disc is like extra reason for it to be that way. I don't understand their program at all, but whatever, we can all change the playlist on our own computers / devices.... its just such an ODD choice!

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Agreed. An expanded James Horner release doesn't need 'Begin the Beguine' on both discs, as wonderful as the old song may be. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the labels could be a bit more intelligent with the samples. They know full well that we're after the unreleased cues, and don't really need to hear samples of music that's on the existing album. There has been just one occasion when samples have persuaded me to make a purchase (Varese's Nightwing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's vintage Horner with a beautiful and exhilarating main theme and great love theme and brilliantly energetic action music where Horner melds his own sensibilities with the swashbuckling spirit of the Golden Age. I remember that I didn't first think much of the main theme when I first heard it on the Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops The Great Fantasy Adventure Album (a great compilation actually!) but suddenly after some time it just clicked and it has become one of my favourite Horner themes and scores.

Collecting the great releases of his music by the specialty labels is a great place to start, though there's many great that haven't received an expansion yet (Titanic, Willow, Apollo 13, Sneakers, Glory)... hopefully they all will soon, though! There's also a lot of specialty label expansions that are now out of print (Wolfen, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Journey of Natty Gann, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Uncommon Valor, 48 Hrs, among others) that hopefully will come back in print soon (or in some cases expanded to complete for the first time). Anyway, here are the top eight specialty label Horner releases I heartily recommend you start with!
