gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Rosenman's music is fitting for an episode of Our Little Farm, not Star Trek. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,453 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I could never get into Rosenman's music, I'm afraid. Not even fairly easy, straightforward stuff like STAR TREK IV. So no contest here. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Am I wrong when I say that Whale Fugue sounds like it was composed by Patrick Doyle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really hear that. Doyle never does tone pyramids like that, but I guess you could say there are some similarities in the layered string writing.

bruce marshall 1,314 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 You know it's funny... I saw this in first run. Loved it. I remember thinking - when they free the whale- man" I wish John Williams scored this; he would have knocked it out of the park." Instead , we got the ok.cue from Lenny Bellosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePenitentMan1 741 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Resurrecting this thread because why not? I'm afraid I'm not quite that familiar with Jaws' score in general, but I just listened to Shark Cage Fugue several times in a row. The Shark Cage Fugue is certainly good as a film cue, but Whale Fugue still gets stuck in my head all the time, and I'm not sure I'd change that position even if I get more familiar with Jaws' score when it eventually gets reissued in 5-20 years. So it's an easy Whale Fugue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hooper 1,737 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Shark Cage Fugue. At least give us two choices that are remotely comparable in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,321 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 By the way, did Williams write any more fugues in his score apart from the Shark Cage Fugue and Preparations from Black Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
