mxsch 115 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Towering Inferno, Jaws, Superman, E.T., SW OT and three Indy's. What can compete with this 10 insane scores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aenae 41 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Bernard Herrmann for example has certainly the more original and powerful body of work. Vertigo, Fahrenheit 451, Psycho, North by Northwest, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Jane Eyre, Cape Fear, On Dangerous Ground, Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons - there isn't a single film composer who can surpass or probably even match this 10 score combo.

Datameister 2,041 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I'm a little confused...is the idea to pick your ten favorite scores by another composer and stack them up against the Williams scores you've picked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondheim 1,157 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I think they are asking does any composer have ten scores to compete with those ten of Williams. And the answer if of course yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulin 3,511 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 You mean a ca. 15-years period of music? Wolfgang Mozart 1776-1791 (end of Salzburg period - Requiem) Ludwig van Beethoven 1803-1818 / 1812-1827 Richard Wagner 1844-1859 (Tannhäuser - Tristan & Isolde) Pyotr Tchaikovsky 1876-1891 / 1878-1893 (most of his career took place in little more than 15 years!) to name the few Edit: Williams 1977-1993 and Tchaikovsky 1876-1893 are about the closest match there ever was and likely there ever will be in the context of this topic.

Bellosh 3,416 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 nothing can compete with the Indy trilogy and E.T. that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,434 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 James Horner had a pretty amazing year in 1995: Braveheart, Apollo 13, Balto, Jumanji, Casper... NL197 and Chen G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozart never scored a film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
