Popular Post Corellian2019 386 Posted May 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2018 A while ago, out of sheer chance I stumbled upon the cue titles registered under GEMA for the complete score to Nixon. I have organized them here in two batches. The first is in more or less chronological order, keeping in mind that it's been ages since I've seen the whole film. The second batch is in alphabetical order because I don't remember their placement within the narrative. Regardless, for those with better memory, feel free to snoop around and organize all the titles as you see fit.

That's a lot of cues. If I remember correctly there are quite a few shorter tracks in the film following Stone's rather collage-styled editing of many sequences. The OST album contains many of the longer cues from the film and some tracks where JW has in his classic style combined cues from several scenes from all over the film. But I would love a complete score release of this one. I think it might be a minor revelation especially as there are so many little pieces here that foreshadow Williams' writing for e.g. the Star Wars Prequels. Plus I love the mix of brooding grand darkness and nostalgic Americana solidity Johnny conjures with this music. crumbs, Sharkissimo and Once 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the longest time I hardly listened to this (especially since I never saw the movie), but this score is actually fantastic and almost every track offers something surprising and unexpected. Initially, I thought this very dissonant and unlistenable, but maybe my musical tastes have matured. These days I find this endlessly fascinating.

crumbs 14,318 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 So apparently this lengthy 10+ minute scene is exclusive to the director's cut (wasn't in the theatrical at all) but it's scored almost entirely with JW music. Does anyone know if they just tracked music from elsewhere in the film or did JW score the scene before it was deleted? I've never seen the film so I have no idea if the music is from elsewhere. Also, revisiting the OST for this score and I have to say... this soundtrack is an underrated gem! I would absolutely love to hear a deluxe expansion someday (along with everything else!) Any ideas how much music is unreleased overall? Seems to be a lot... BrotherSound and Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom 4,670 Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 I don't know the answer to your question, but, yes, it is underrated (and I am usually quite adverse to that term). I think the full-scale dark, tragic operatic sound represents a unique entry for Williams (though he would do the same for ROTS 9 years later). I love this score. While no one would see it, it would make for a power LTP experience. blondheim, crumbs and BrotherSound 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,318 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It's very much a proto-ROTS, yes! The ominous dark passages, the big brassy fanfares, the elegiac adagio-esque string passages, it's remarkably varied! And what a stunning performance from the orchestra too, they recorded some very impressive scores in LA throughout the 90s. BrotherSound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's approximately 38 minutes of unreleased underscore. The OST is actually surprisingly short at 47 minutes! So, definitely enough score to require 2 CDs, but with plenty of leftover space, so I imagine the OST assembly should be included, especially since it's been out of print for a number of years now.

Bayesian 1,364 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 This score is pretty much at the top of my most-wished-for JW expansions. A great score mated to a great film. It would be a delight to see it expanded in 2022. Let’s not forget that a 27th anniversary is one of the special ones, right?? filmmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
