Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 I loved FSM's JesterPool's post, very funny heh heh:WIth all the talk about Jerry Goldsmith's dropped score from TIMELINE, let's not forget about his rejected score of STAR WARS (1977).The Columbia LP track list contained:Side One1. Main Title/Darth Vader (4:03)2. The Shuttle (3:43)3. Wild Beast (4:38)4. Cantina (disco remix) (3:50)5. Hyperspace (5:19)Side Two1. That Distant Star (sung by Carol Heather)(4:12)2. Laser Swordplay (3:58)3. The Droids (3:09)4. Battle Attack (5:42)5. End Titles (4:29)To bad there's no "A New Life" track, hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 I should have known this is a joke thread from all the constant sarcastic comments. But alas, I'm a bit slow (tear).Joke, what joke? party pooper part IIAnyway, with a little effort ( :roll: ), I managed to get a review of the "unused" score written by a Joe Esrey:Jerry's rejected Star Wars score is indeed fabulous, as I can attest from many joyous hours of listening to the boot, but of course it's not like Jerry hasn't done tons of great science-fiction/fantasy/mythic adventure stuff anyway, so it's not entirely unprecedented (his music for the Jawas and Tusken Raiders is somewhat evocative of his Planet of the Apes stuff, actually - not a recycling, of course, but just a bit evocative of the earlier work). What I find interesting is all the fascinating stuff he and Williams both have done and had rejected in genres they're not particularly known for, where producers apparently were skittish about these guys working outside the fields they were known quantities in. One wonders why the producers would hire them for certain films in the first place if they were so unsure; it certainly doesn't make a whole lot of sense that they'd hear the fantastic end results and then ditch them, but oh, well. John Williams' (rejected) score for Shaft in Africa used with permission (I hope) from Joe Esrey : P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector J.

Other than that it's typical Horner. And if you look closely you might find something resembling the Spock theme, but a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 You know what Goldsmith probably should have written a score for?? LOTR!!!OK maybe it would be lacking today, but BACK IN HIS PRIME Jerry could have created a score for that which would have set a major precedent in film music. Especially back in the day when Jerry wrote sweeping themes for epic works like The Wind and the Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenniebun 0 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 You know what Goldsmith probably should have written a score for?? LOTR!!!No, no, no...he wasn't hired for the project, so it'd be somewhat of a waste of time. Plus, he wasn't involved in the production process, so he would've had to wait for the movies to hit theaters before seeing footage, going home and trying to remember everything that happened so he could write music for it.

FossMan 1 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Good God, people. Do you have to flame everyone and everything? Shore did a fine job on the LotR scores. IMO, he's set the standard now for medieval fantasy flicks, kinda like the way Williams set the standard for modern-day adventure and space-faring movies (although Goldsmith is a very close second in the space-faring department).

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm a big Goldsmith fan, but I cannot see his current style of scoring for the LOTR films as they were made.Howard's Shore style was precisely what the films needed, it's as brilliant a marriage between music, images and story as just about anything i've seen, Indiana Jones and SW included.
