Saving Private Ryan unused music ????

[musicguy 0]

On the "Saving Private Ryan" soundtrack I don't think the track "Approaching the Enemy" is used in the movie... can someone please tell me what part of the movie this music was written for??

Thanks

When they are coming in on the boat, surely.

Yeah AI's probably right, it was probably written for the Omaha scene but all the music got taken out

i don't think so... the music certainly doesn't fit their approach onto Omaha

That´s why they´ve taken it out

That music was written for the part where they are walking and talking and it ends when the raindrop falls on the leaf. It is actually meant to start after the crane shot of the blimps in the aftermath of omaha but the theme was tracked again which was not good for the movie. I remember one reviewer as well as one personal friend who discredited Williams' approach for that very scene, not realizing the music was retracked.

Pull another one out of your ass.

Anybody want to try it with that scene and give reactions?

Your link doesn't work.

"Approaching the enemy" is one of my favourite tracks from the album. It's got a real, soothing beauty to it as well as a tiny kernel of joy bubbling softly away amidst all those mournful horns and brooding snare drums. And you mean to say it's not even incorporated sensibly into the film?
