  1. Some RC/MV sores remind me of the wall-to-wall sound-floor underscoring you sometimes find in Golden Age scores.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Golden Age scores weren't perfect either.

    I remember watching Hitchcock's Spellbound with a friend who remarked how the music was too melodramatic and overpowering.

    As little as I listen to Golden Age, I'd like to know examples of bad Golden Age scores smile

    There are some Herrmann scores that I'm not fond of but then again there are people who don't consider his scores to be Golden Age.

    I was going to post a video of The Winter Soldier but with Silvestri's music instead, but for the life of me I can't upload a simple video! YouTube blocks the clip (even though it's one of the clips already on there) and I can't even get my FTP to work. slant

    Thor calls Golden Age not a historical period, but a scoring paradigm.


    Obviously, it's a term used to describe it in retrospect, they didn't call it "Golden Age" at the time. Since there are basically dozens of ways to pinpoint the period in a time-specific way, it makes more sense if you use the classical expression and the industrial organization as your parameters. Also, the term doesn't only apply to scoring, but a certain mode of filmmaking.

    Thor also thinks that Pain and Gain is a good score. Take that for what it's worth. tongue

    You must all accept that PAIN & GAIN is one of the best scores of last year. TRUTH! biggrin

    What would you call a modern score referring to the tradition? Something like Debney's Cutthroat Island?

    An hommage set within a more contemporary orchestral style (or something similar)? Same with STAR WARS, really -- in that case Williams infused the neo-romanticism with loads of contemporary jazz signatures etc.

    I'd agree with you there, Thor (again!). I've never thought that Debney's score sounds 'Golden Age', but it does perhaps conjure up a similar feeling of adventure and 'swashbuckle'. I suppose the biggest difference between Debney's score and Korngold's pirate scores is the camp factor; CutThroat island is not a particularly camp score, whereas something like The Sea Hawk is.

    True. But Renny Harlin's FILM would perhaps qualify as 'camp'?

    It's not that bad. The cinematography, sound design and stunt work is excellent! And the film contains one of cinemas greatest explosions! And of course, Debney's masterful score

    The only thing I remember is the carriage chase in the beginning. But I'd like to revisit it. It's one of those pulp, very "90s" movies that are enjoyable despite the cheesiness. I actually like Harlin as a director.

    I believe it was Cutthroat Island that sank his (Harlin's) career.

    Not surprising as it's awful!

    This summer, composer Henry Jackman recorded his score to the new Disney animated feature, Big Hero 6. The film reunites Jackman with co-director Don Hall (Winnie the Pooh), and the score was recorded at the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox. ScoringSessions.com is delighted to bring our readers photos from the scoring sessions!

    Enjoy!
    I consider a project a success when Thor says he won't buy it

    It often is, depending on your source.
  22. Ha! In this case my source is entirely legal.

  25. I liked Jackman from some interviews i have seen of him. They really got me interested in his stuff, as he comes across so well. though i haven't seen 80% of the films he's scored.

    I really enjoy his X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, particularly the rather excellent Frankenstein's Monster track, which worked perfectly in the film, too. I think i have only Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter of his, otherwise. And i can't remember it at all, though i only listened once.

    I recently watched BIG HERO 6, and the score is okay in that and has some nice moments. And Kingsman, which i can't remember at all. Then i saw CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER and liked his score in the film, but not sure i would buy, but again it has nice moments. I think he's one that i'd like to cherry-pick a track or two out of his films and you'd have a belting 80 minute album of good stuff.

    Coming across well in an interview is not necessarily indicative of the quality of someone's music. If that were true, Herrmann's music wouldn't exactly fare well.

    True enough, Steven. But it warmed me to him and made me want to check out his stuff initially. I always want his scores to grab me, but so far they haven't really. I think he was talking about how producers were forcing him to use specific bit of his music on X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and make it a main theme, which he was set against, which i found interesting.
