    I can't agree with that statement but there are beautiful moments for sure... I even said so above... but there is something about FSM's presentation of the score that's not working for me.

    Indeed it's not just a complete release, it's completer or completest. The release would have been better had it avoided the repetition of the same material.

    I stand by my statement though that it's the most beautiful score ever composed. There might be a few better, but when it comes to beauty and athmosphere Days of heaven is the clear winner, to my ears.

  1. I'll have to fully analyze it and watch all the movies, but I wonder if there isn't just a certain atmosphere to scores for Terrence Malick films, there were certainly moments in Days of Heaven that reminded me of The Thin Red Line. I haven't even listened to the full original album, because mom wanted to hear parts of Bach's St. Matthew's Passion, so I had to change the music, but certainly a beautiful work it is.

    Desplat's The Tree of Life also had parts that reminded me of The Thin Red Line. For now the score that is the furthest to the general approach is Horner's The New World, because it is very close to Horner's own comfort zone, while retaining a much more restrained and magical atmosphere than his usual works, but it's still a James Horner score alright. The only thing that reminded me of Zimmer's score (which except Badlands watched two-three weeks ago is my only exposure to Terrence Malick's career, mind you!) was a Lohengrin adaptation in Winter/Battle.

    I will certainly investigate the Malick connection and analyze it properly.

    I had to turn off Days of Heaven at the 20 track mark of the first disc. It not something you just play in the background! It's excellent music, don't get me wrong, but you have to be in the right mood for that sort of score and you need to be willing to dedicate a full 2 hours and 16 minutes to get through it all. I got through 47 minutes and it felt like 2 hours and 16 minutes. Not sure when I will return to this one.

    Great, super-romantic score that seems influenced somewhat by his later concert works.

    It's so nice to finally hear this score in the original chronological order, and some music from the movie which didn't make it to the original CD release.

    Where did you get this? I've been scouring the Net for years looking for it!


    It has been leaked since yesterday, try to look for it.

    Now I just need the complete sessions to The Perfect Storm and House of Sand and Fog...

    As with a lot of deluxe soundtrack albums, sticking it in and pressing play and waiting for it to finish is a horrendous presentation. I think you just have to pick one of the three programmes - remastered original album, score as heard in the film, or (approximately) score as written for the film. The latter is my favourite. I just stick the second disc in and make sure I press stop before the bonus tracks begin.

    Yeap, I chose the 'score as written for the film' program on disc 2, and it's a great presentation (apart from the bonus tracks at the end). Since it also features music that is tonally not in key with the serene and calm film (action cues, even) it's a lot more diverse and more colorful than the score as presented in the film is. This way it completely merits a full disc worth of music. Just give it a(nother) try.

    Not much else. She isn't very knowledgeable in classical music, in fact not at all, but she is reading a novel about Mendelssohn and a huge plot there is Mendelssohn finding Bach's work and bringing it back to public knowledge and Bach is a character, so she wanted to hear what the fuss was about.

    It seems that in the morning they were also listening (her and my dad) to some Mendelssohn. I think it's some education time smile

    Well, I think that was a bit harsh. The Midway and Men of Yorktown marches are very good, and there's some softer material that is nice. But to each their own.

  7. I was thinking more of "Finale" from Psycho, with the dramatic conclusion and those low chords playing just as "I do" is spoken.

    I think some of the Morricone pieces, The Ludlows, Shakespeare in Love, and the Kostia piece (being it was used in Home Depot commercials for the 2004 Summer Olympics) will be recognized for sure.

    To make a playlist like that and play it at a wedding is probably what appeals to me most about getting married.


    LOL! Assuming your significant other would allow such music...my fiancee hasn't really heard any of these yet, but I already told the DJ to include them. biggrin I'll let her have her way for the dance music though.

    Haha...tempting. I already had to cut back some questionable stuff that is embarrassing to listen to in public unless you are a) at a movie, or b) in a movie studio.

    We are also having "Adoration" by Felix Borowski as our special music at the ceremony:

    Never heard of it until one of my Groomsmen, who plays violin, recommended it.

    I haven't heard the Kostia piece before. my best guesses would have that Out of Africa, Gabriel's oboe and the Cinema Paradiso love theme have the best chances of being recognized. Why not add the love theme from Romeo and Juliet? You can hear a bit of it in the Juliet track, but why not play the entire love theme?

    Don't be too disappointed if no one comes up and talks about the music. In my dealings with non-film score fans (or "muggles" as I like to call them) they tend to disappoint in this area.

    Hehe, I hope she approves of your music, and that she hasn't chosen awful dance music.

    I'm lucky in that my gf is as crazy about film music as I am. She has already made a "Funeral" playlist for her own funeral, which is rather depressing and I don't want to know what she has put ot it as I'd never be able to enjoy them again. smile No doubt it's filled with Morricone.

    I agree. It has the same essence and soundscape of A.I., but much more darker but still melodic. Sean's theme is one of my favorites.
