JTN 2,042 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 What are scores that could work for another film that it was written to? I’m listening to JNH’s TREASURE PLANET and imho it could work fine for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. Are there other examples where a score sounds similar to another and could be exchanged with it and probably nobody would notice? (And I’m not talking about James Horner’s work, hehe.)

Also, I’m not saying that we rescore scenes or films, but if others have examples where, in their opinion, a score could work perfectly for another film.

GerateWohl 4,371 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Danny Elfman's scores for Tim Burton movies could usually work for almost any other Tim Burton movie. The similarities might allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,552 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Similar scores? Every James Horner score, from 1987 onwards. Geez Louise, he is boring, at times. GerateWohl and JTN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTN 2,042 Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Listening to Star Trek III and Horner so obviously reused some of it in Aliens. I can’t help but wonder that while he was doing it, was he thinking that nobody would notice? Did he think the audience was so dumb or that they wouldn’t care? I mean James Cameron clearly didn’t notice it or didn’t care. But Horner must’ve known that people would notice the similarities of ST3 and Aliens.

GerateWohl 4,371 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I was a big fan of Horner's Aliens. But in the meantime after getting to know some other Horner scores, I think there is hardly anything in the Aliens score, any motif, any chord progression, any theme, that Horner hadn't used already anywhere else. Aliens is like entirely patched together from other Horner scores. JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
