Thor 7,506 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I remember when we (i.e. me and a few of my film-interested classmates) were going through the PSYCHO films on VHS in the 90s, we were surprised to see Burwell as the composer. Goldsmith for II was understandable, but Burwell was barely on my radar at the time, due to the Coen bros. connection. In fact, I think I only had heard THE HUDSUCKER PROXY when his name popped up in the credits. I never got the soundtrack; I should use the opportunity to re-familiarize myself with it. But not after I've gone through all those damn 2020 scores (that's ALL I listen to now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No use of any of the Herrmann’s themes. When I first watched the movie (specially during the murder scenes) it felt a bit odd, like watching Jaws without the shark theme. Psycho III It’s a percussion based/electronic score with some voices and in some sections sounds a bit like sound design, which was very unusual at the time. I soon warmed to this very unique and bold score and it has been one of my top grails for many years. bruce marshall and Jurassic Shark 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 INTRADA Announces PSYCHO III Music Composed and Arranged by CARTER BURWELL INTRADA ISC 453 Intrada's first release of 2021 features the complete score to the 1986 Universal feature Psycho III with music by Carter Burwell. Norman Bates star himself, Anthony Perkins, took over directing duties and wanted a music approach that diverged from the previous Psycho films. Having been impressed with Burwell's score to Blood Simple, Perkins thought Burwell could provide the different sound for which he was looking. Burwell wrote a score performed primarily on the Synclavier, with additional live percussion, piano, saxophone and both women's and boy's choirs, taking heed of Perkins' guidance to avoid a strict traditional approach. Following in the footsteps of Herrmann and Goldsmith was no small task, but Burwell delivered a distinctive approach all his own and a perfect fit for the story in this next chapter of Norman Bates' life. The studio asked for a pop single as well, and the composer partnered with Stanton Miranda and Steve Bray to develop a song called "Scream of Love." Released on MCA Records at the time of the film's theatrical run, the album featured dialog, excerpts from the score and source music. For this two CD-set, Intrada presents all the music Burwell recorded for Psycho III, in chronological sequence on the first disc. The second disc features the original MCA program, as well as all the different versions of "Scream of Love" recorded before finalizing the version he wanted to move into production. All this sourced from the 1/2" and 1/4" elements stored at Universal Studios. The film begins mere weeks after the events of Psycho II, with a dark screen and an anguished woman’s voice crying out, “There is no God!” The voice belongs to Maureen Coyle, a novice nun plagued by doubts about her vocation, whose suicide attempt goes tragically awry for one of her fellow sisters. Fleeing the convent, Maureen finds herself at the Bates Motel, where another failed suicide attempt leads to an unexpected bond with Norman, who is haunted by Maureen’s resemblance to Marion Crane, the woman he killed decades earlier. Two newcomers jeopardize their relationship—Duane Duke, a sleazy would-be musician whom Norman hires as a desk clerk, and Tracy Venable, a journalist unconvinced that Norman has put his murderous ways behind him. Norman’s conflicted feelings toward Maureen lead to more murders, and at the end he willingly allows himself to be returned to the madhouse. But Mother still has her grip on him.INTRADA ISC 453 Barcode: 720258545305 Retail Price: $29.99 Starts Shipping Week of 1/12 For track listing and sound samples, please visit http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.12171/.f Carter Burwell Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume ISC 453 Film Date: 1986 Album Date: 2020 Time: 122:04 Tracks: 43 Price: $29.99 World premiere release of complete Carter Burwell soundtrack for Psycho III on 2 CDs! Universal releases third film in legendary horror franchise in 1986. Origins of frightening tales of Norman Bates and his notorious Bates Motel - 12 cabins, 12 vacancies… and 12 showers - began with Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous thriller in 1960, scored by Bernard Herrmann. Anthony Perkins herein introduced cinema to one of its most iconic killers with his portrayal of Norman. Installment 2 followed in 1982 with music by Jerry Goldsmith and Perkins continuing his chilling character. Now, in 1986, he returns for third tale, not only giving us yet another look at Norman but also sitting behind the screen as director! Psycho III also introduces veteran composer Carter Burwell to his first big studio feature. Joining cast is Jeff Fahey, Diana Scarwid, Roberta Maxwell. Burwell launches initially with nightmarish choral material (with percussion) to match early religious angle of suicidal nun Maureen Coyle who catches Norman’s eye, becomes a guest at Bates Motel. Burwell soon brings us his title music, immediately creates his own voice to franchise’s musical signature with sparse primary theme built from repeating minor-key chord progression colored by electronic pizzicato string effects, subtle choral fragments. Instantly unique, instantly memorable! Especially haunting version appears with Norman on screen at piano, his voice humming melody along with right hand piano line. Haunting (and spooky) new facet of score enters with flashback scene of Emma from second chapter, becomes important theme throughout score. “House, Mom Intro” melds choral chant with Burwell’s modest ensemble into chilling music, a prelude to horrors ahead. Primary theme reappears in source music-style treatment for Duke in bar sequence, “Warm As A Cry For Help”. Numerous highlights follow: scary “Norman To Maureen In Bath” with murderous choral phrases joining instrumental ensemble with increasing density, gentle unwinding of primary theme on small organ for “Norman In Maureen’s Hospital Room”, disguised variant of same theme for “Maureen And Shrink”, terrifying “Swamp” sequence, many others. Climactic (and lengthy) “Maureen Comes To Norman, Tracy, Norman And Mom” is worthy of special spotlight! Intrada 2-CD set features film cues including sequences not heard in final film, source music, film version of “Scream Of Love” plus 6(!!) additional alternate versions. Also appearing is CD premiere of original 31-minute 1986 MCA vinyl album. Over two hours of music all-total, all mastered from original scoring session mixes and album masters, courtesy Universal and UMG. Carter Burwell composes, performs and produces with Steve Forman on percussion. Intrada 2-CD set available while quantities and interest remain! Thrilling and chilling! CD 1 Film Soundtrack 01.

Jay 37,364 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Doug on the Intrada forum: Quote Quote Awesome work. All of those "Scream of Love" variations alone have me sold on this. I included them all (in the extras) mainly because each was so different. Had they all been similar cues, simply edited into different lengths, their inclusion might have been questionable. Speaking of which, upon listening to our finished assembly, prior to manufacturing, Carter Burwell offered his satisfaction, which was heartwarming... and then he asked if we really thought people would want to hear all those versions of "Scream of Love". I figured people would rather have them than not have them. Happily he agreed. --Doug http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=83542#p83542 Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
