  6. NP: New Moon (Desplat)

    Now that I've had a chance to digest this a bit, it isn't one of Desplat's strongest for me. It has some great stuff, but isn't always punching at his dramatic best. The main theme is a great idea, the love theme is truly special, and there's some great stuff elsewhere (e.g. 'To Volterra', and 'Edward Leaves'). But parts of it do feel a bit drawn out on its own, and I wouldn't mind if the album were 10-15 minutes shorter, a first for me with this composer. (I don't get a great deal out of the lengthy 'The Volturi' and their waltz definitely feels like an under-developed idea to contrast the gentle minimalism of the main character's world.) Definitely Cheri (also for a fairly average film) has the edge this year for me. His score for that is one of his best. Also Un Prophete, where every moment feels like it matters.

  7. NP: iTunes shuffle takes me through some of the highlight scores of my year... Alexandra, Tetro, Cheri, Coco Avant Chanel, Adoration, New Moon, Public Enemies, Battlestar Galactica Season 4 (and 'Daybreak'), Agora, Baaria, Un Prophete, Up, Et Apres, Home, Julie+Julia, Ashes of Time Redux, Un Homme et son Chien. On this tour, the art of film scoring seems to be alive and well.

    Baaria - Ennio Morricone

    Fantastic. One of the scores of the year, no question.


    I agree. For me, so far this is THE score of the year. A beautiful work.
  9. NP: 'To Volterra!' from New Moon

    The second half of the cue is definitely one of Desplat's most gripping. I somehow wish more of the score was this strong.

    I always have weird preferences when it comes to some track. My personal favorite fragment is a chord progression for strings with piano in The Cullens. I like the score, somewhat warmer than the usual Desplat performance. It's really lovely.

    To me it has a fairy tale quality. I got the chance to listen to it again on my way to work. The love theme is pure magic and the main theme bliss! smile

    I have this suspicion that there is more to the score album of New Moon than there was in the film...I haven't heard the album yet but the film was so full of pop songs that I can't imagine there was much more than an hour of score in it. Can anyone who has heard both confirm this?
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    NP: Amelia - Gabriel Yared

    I like the main theme for Amelia, with its kind of soft-spoken romanticism. In fact, the whole score seems so content to be as gentle as possible when it's not trying to churn through the suspense sequences, that it feels like a score to two different movie. Regardless, the very soft, charming theme wins and makes it a worthwhile listen.

    Legends of the Fall (Horner)

    Always a pleasure to return to it. I'm a sucker for the big sweeping ones.

    Some of his most developed themes ever and in my Horner Top 5 for sure.

    NP: The Twilight Saga: New Moon - Alexandre Desplat

    It had been a long, LONG time since Desplat has completely floored me emotionally with any of his work. Well, I'm still only a few tracks in but the open cue "New Moon" is absolutely superb! I see that this album has an incredibly long running time so I hope this one holds up but with my past history with Desplat I have a feeling it won't... but I will keep an open mind. Let's see if you can hit another homerun this year like you did with Coco Avant Chanel.

    NOTE: The track "Romeo and Juliet" <-- punk

    Curious to hear how it works out for you. I came out thinking this one was a little long. If 'To Volterra!' had been the climax of the album however, that album would have packed a punch.

    I had to stop at track 13... will continue later... but so far I like it. shocked There are only a couple of cues I could do with out and I still find Desplat's action writing to be a bit bland. But so far, I'm actually feeling this score which is rare for me when listening to a majority of Desplat's work. "Edward Leaves" and "Romeo and Juliet" along with the stunning "New Moon" are highlights. Very much looking forward to the rest.

    NP: New Moon - Desplat

    :yawn: There are good cues, but they're too far and few among all of the meandering ones. Given that it's a "romantic" movie, the overall feel is less cold, the use of harp and piano and strings is different, but still there is something clinical/methodical about it all. I'll take Cheri or Chanel over this.
