    No, but from the sound of things I think you may have hurt your head in the fall.

    Indeed, as Bregt's very first post in this thread states:

    I wish Horner had scored this film, I'd love to have heard some religiousy music from Mr. Horner.

    I think Horner won't be able to surpass his own The Name Of The Rose in originality and mood.
    One of his most challenging, but to me very rewarding, listens away from the film, incidentally.

    Yes. Very.
    Gregorian chants and ominous synths.

    It's one of the moodiest things I've heard ever, and I'm quite fond of it (though as you might imagine it's not a regular listen wink )

    Which he uses as a subtle thematic device to cross religion and science.

    Hmm, sounds interesting. I've always liked Horner's use of synths. smile (I think it's because he treats them like a separate instrument rather than trying to hide them under the orchestra.)

    ...and thus we come full circle to Zimmer. Again.

  18. NAME OF THE ROSE is quite a good score. I've not heard it outside of the rather unimpressive film however.

    For what I can read and listening in the clips, ZImmer did all the oposite with this score to what he did in Pirates of Caribbean. He passed from subtile, refinate and orchestral to loud, electronic and experimental.

    I can see the "bruckheimer" version of The Da Vinci Code. And While it could be considered bad, or very bad, I'm sure some of us will laught a lot listening it.

    I love this guy, I simply love Zimmer madness.

    I'm just guessing. wink


    Tottally agree. Those who expect an expansion of The Da Vinci Code better start changing their mind. Angels & Demons is "Broken Arrow" with The Da Vinci Code themes. Crazy and unexpected but effective. To be honest, I didn´t expect this from Z. And also honestly, I like it.

    I´m glad he uses "Chevaliers de Sangreal" plenty of times with different arrangements.

    Just my guesses, obviously.

    As much as I love Name of the Rose as a movie and score, it is not for everybody. I think its worth as a standalone listen depends massively on whether you´ve seen the movie or not, as well as whether you like medieval music or not. There are some traditional gregorian tracks, but even the stuff Horner wrote contains a lot of passages lifted directly from very old ballads. That said, the old stuff combined with Horner´s obviously rather strange and unusual approach, makes it one of his more original scores, with a dark and brooding main theme, and a beautiful end theme that will stay with you for a while.

    So THAT's why Zimmer has been using synthesizers all this time. He outsmarted us all!

    This probably isn't the best version of the theme to reference, but I could help but notice a bit of similarity between one of the choral themes in the clips and...

    Not that similar, but enough to remind me of another man on a mission for the Vatican. wink

    You should really listen to that one track from First Born.

    I've always enjoyed his IN THE NAME OF THE ROSE, there are some people who hate it though.
