    Yes I do. Franz founded the Los Angeles International Music Festival in 1947 and premiered eighty major works by Stravinsky, Walton, Schoenberg, Vaughan Williams and others for 20 years.

    NP: Beauty & The Beast (Broadway Cast Recording) - Alan Menken & Howard Ashman/Tim Rice

    Now I really understand how great Menken/Ashman collaboration was. The new songs are really weak. The lyrics don't fit in the music. It may be partly because some of the songs were originally written as score themes, though...

    Songs from SILENT HILL (Akira Yamaoka & Mary Elizabeth McGlynn)

    Listen to this, and dream away.

    Or this one, a bit more uptempo.

    I've been following the video game series since its inception and they've always had strong songs accompany them. I've been listening to them for years and it hands down beats all the commercial crap passing on the radio these days.

    The singer Mary Elizabeth McGlynn has a fantastic voice IMHO, but it's the pairing with Akira Yamaoka, the sound designer and composer for the games that gives songs like these a truly special ambience. Because she adds so much soul to these songs I'm a big fan and I hope she continues in the same direction.

    She's also in this truly gorgeous ending theme for the Ace Combat V game. Wondrous and heart-breaking performance !!!

    Just wondering if more people here know of her and her great talent. smile

    oops. I posted a score in the non score thread. Sorry. Didn't read carefully.

    Just turned on some Diana Krall so I could be compliant with the thread. ;-)

    That's true. I'm excited to be back! Thanks for the greeting my friend. I have spent a few years out of the enthusiast arena, living in LA and writing and you know what, although I was surrounded by film composers/filmmakers, I enjoy coming back to my roots where my passion began. Sometimes when you are in it you can't see the whole picture so stepping out of that box feels great- to just experience the music and share thoughts with all of you. smile

    I'm grateful for all that I experienced out there though. That was a dream come true. Anyway... enough about all that. Back to the show.

    I appreciate the interest. Hope I didn't come off as being stuck up or anything, just difficult to summarize the many amazing experiences in a couple sentences. I wouldn't even know where to begin. It was a blast getting to actually mingle with some of my heroes though. When I wrote my book a few years ago, I met many composers but living in the middle of it is a whole different experience all-together. I had to often times act bigger than I was so to speak. If you don't have confidence out there, you are in big trouble. Those of you on this forum that are in the middle of it all know what I am talking about. It can be intimidating.

    NP: Sinfonietta for String Orchestra Bernard Herrmann. This was his first published work (1936) and wasn't revised until the year of his death (1975). This was the first recording of it (1992). What makes this interesting from a historical standpoint is there was material and ideas that ended up in Psycho. The work shows that he was deeply influenced by Arnold Schoenberg and his new avant-garde movement. As a result there isn't a hint of polyphony in this 17 minute work. However, I don't believe it is a twelve-tone atonal composition. But the fun is to listen carefully and you can pick out the phrases he used in Psycho.
