GerateWohl 4,411 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 9 minutes ago, Thor said: I omitted SLEEPY HOLLOW due to the 'fantasy'/paranormal element, but then again I included INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, so it makes no sense. Yes, I think, it would rather make sense to leave them out both. Fantasy should be excluded. Especially when the score focusses so obviously on the fantasy nature of the picture like Sleepy Hollow. Anyway these scores get then especially interesting when they focus on contemporary music of the stories historic period. If it just in a simple way focusses on protagonist's emotions using musical tools like major chords for happiness, minor chords for sadness, dissonance for threat and fear etc., then this is not interesting at all.

But the costumes and general period-specific mise-en-scene is so gorgeous in INTERVIEW, one of the finest this side of AMADEUS, that I had to include it, despite its paranormal element. 1 hour ago, GerateWohl said: Anyway these scores get then especially interesting when they focus on contemporary music of the stories historic period.

Yes, I like it when there's a hybrid of pastiche and/or existing classical music and contemporary styles in a film of this kind. Like in RESTORATION or THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE. Or when it goes all non-period-specific, like the gorgeous synth music in DICKINSON and THE GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,411 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Never listened to it outside the movie. And in the move it didn't leave an impression. Like most Doyle scores recently. They seem to me a little short of breath somehow. quite short melodies about just half a dozen ways of arranging a theme that he uses again and again his melodies sound often quite alike apart form that almost no variations if there are variations they are sometimes annoyingly simple he is better, when he derives his themes from songs, he wrote. But I still haven't listened to Sense and Sensibility, Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite Doyle scores, absolutely gorgeous, several superb themes and the sung version of the main theme, Weep You No More Sad Fountains, is utterly lovely (although I do marginally prefer the more plainly sung version that appeared on a Silva compilation to the more operatic performance for the movie, but it's minor thing). I still find it mystifying that it was Rachel Portman's Emma was the one that got the Oscar (the year after) - don't get me wrong, Portman's score is lovely, but Doyle's is far more interesting and memorable, on a whole other level.

Sense & Sensibility is much more restrained (albeit not a boring way) whereas Much Ado is considerably broader in sweep and more, well, theatrical. Much Ado is (if I had to choose) probably my favourite Doyle score but S&S is easily top 5. It's an embarrassment of riches! GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
