Justin 2 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 We have the John Williams version of this question. Now, what about everybody else?

RomanticStrings 10 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hey! The whistle is as much Scottish as it is Irish! (There are whistles in the score, aren't there?) Also, do you want to be the one who suggests recording a Highland Bagpipe inside with a full orchestra? I hope not. The Uilleann Pipes are simply the indoor, recording-friendly version of the bagpipes. Plus, they are so much more lyrical, in tune, and flat out beautiful.~Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesie 1 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I don't know many scores. But a few exceptional scores that haven't been mentioned and that I think are masterpieces for their own reasons are...Homeward Bound 1 and 2. Addams Family Values.Twister.Rescuers Down Under.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 MmmmI really dont have that many non Williams' scores to talk about this... (and i have ones that a like, not that i consider to be masterpieces)You Only Live Twice would be one of them i suppose.Return of the KingBen HurThe adventures of Robin HoodMedal of HonorSecret Weapons over NormandyMulan (i think this is the best Disney score, so that must be a masterpiece...)

Jim Ware 526 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Marian's list is very close to mine, but I'd add:King of Kings - Miklos RozsaMishima - Philip GlassCleopatra - Alex NorthCapricorn One - Jerry GoldsmithTitus - Elliot GoldenthalWhere Eagles Dare - Ron GoodwinI was going to put Horner's Sneakers on here, but the Beethoven (9th Symphony) and Glass (Islands from Glassworks) rip-offs really irritated me on my last listen. I can't think of any Horner scores that I would consider 'masterpieces'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivier 5 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Wow.The awesome power of JWFan.Net.Someone starts a thread on film score masterpieces, and-- bang!The AFI posts its own 250-score list in reply.Awesome.(Thanks to Hook for posting the link on Movie Music UK's board.In this list, you will find...11 Elmer Bernstein11 Goldsmith11 Alfred Newman11 Rozsa11 Steiner11 Waxman11 Williams9 Herrmann7 Barry7 Korngold7 Tiomkin6 Mancini6 North5 Horner4 Jarre4 Kaper4 Morricone4 Victor Young3 Copland3 Gold3 Howard3 Randy Newman3 Raksin3 Rosenman3 Schifrin3 Stothart2 Malcolm Arnold2 Bacharach2 Bennett2 Chaplin2 Conti2 Doyle2 Elfman2 Fielding2 Friedhofer2 Grusin2 Hamlisch2 Quincy Jones2 Legrand2 Moross2 Portman2 Rosenthal2 Shaiman2 Shore2 Thomas Newman2 Rota2 Salter2 Vangelis2 Webb2 Zimmer1 Addison1 David Arnold1 Auric1 Barron & Barron1 Leonard Bernstein1 Blanchard1 Bliss1 Broughton1 Burwell1 Churchill & Plumb1 Coppola1 Corigliano1 Delerue1 Duning1 Ellington1 Fenton & Shankar1 Glass1 Goldenthal1 Green1 Hayes1 Hollander1 Isham1 Kamen1 Kaas1 Lai1 Mandel1 Melle1 Mockridge1 Moroder1 Morris1 David Newman1 Poledouris1 André Prévin1 Charles Prévin1 Shire1 Silvestri1 Thomson1 Warbeck1 YaredThe usual suspects and a few surprises (score-wise, I mean). A quite remarkable (and wise, I suppose-- how much of a coincidence can it truly be?) tie of the major major major composers, with 11 scores for each, with the surprising exception of Bernard Herrmann, 2 behind.Only 1 by Broughton (they might have included Young Sherlock Holmes), but at least they haven't ommitted him.
