  1. I think I have tracked that anthology serie but I can't find any cedits.

    The music sounds a bit like Jerrold Immel though I can't find any credit linking him to Disney.

    Volker
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  2. Not Immel, though he did do at least two episodes of the series I am refercing: "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color".

    The episode is "Ask Max" (1986).


    It's about an unpopular 12 year old overweight boy in school whom also happens to be very smart. He gets some inspiration and invents a bicycle that with some air preasure, can jump over things -- sort of like a low-tech turbo boost. He gets an offer from a major toy company to sell his idea and pay him nicely. He uses his money on his friends and family, and tries to be popular with money, but money can't always buy happiness.

    The composer is Robert Folk, whom recently got some positive attention from the film score community for his work on "There Be Dragons". This would be at least his second known episode for the series.

  3. Mystery Score Clip 57

    We're in the 1990's, with a composer who's worked on two of the most famous TV series ever made, but has a ton of other projects under his belt (when you take into account individual episode scores from the many TV series he's worked on).

    The TV movie says it's based on a true story, which makes it all the more difficult to watch, 'cause it's a tragic story. One of the main leads was, at the time, fresh off his work on a popular TV series at the time.


    Only three cues, under three minutes presented here, so it's not long:

  4. Did the composer work on Star Trek?
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  5. No Trek. The famous TV shows are more semi modern. One he only did a handful of episode to early on, the other he scored every single episode of.

    I think it's plesant, and very nice music. The opening credits and music are damn near perfect -- it's almost like a glove.

    Damn, I was thinking Robert Folk!
  7. Reveal.


    The TV movie is "Scattered Dreams" (1993).
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108049/combined

    The main lead I refered to, was Gerald McRaney, whom was fresh of the four-season lasting "Major Dad" (scored by Roger Steinman and Steve Sorff).


    The composer is Mark Snow. The two famous TV series I referenced, were "Dynasty" and "The X-Files".

    This has not been released on VHS or DVD, so this is the only way you can see it currently:

    A very famous film composer, late in his career, only a few years before his passing.
    A touching TV movie.

    Somebody will be along shortly to make short work of this, no doubt.

  9. Some of the more dissonant parts reminds me of Leonard Rosenman. And that would point to his score for Jurij. I have this somewhere but can't locate it at the moment to check.

  12. I would hope so, but these days I'm not so sure. ;-)


    Reveal.


    Might as well reveal it, since it's so close anyway.

    This is the 1995 TV movie. "The Face on the Milk Carton".

    Janie has a good life. A nice school, friends, well-off parents who love her, nothing to really complain about.
    Then one day while in school she sees a little girl's face on a milk carton and the nagging feelings and distant memories lead her to believe she may be that little girl.

    When her mother seems to refuse to produce her birth certificate, so she can get her driver's license, things finally lead to her having to find out if it's true.

    Rosenman's score has not been released.

    It's not been released on VHS or DVD, so Youtube's your only bet to see it:

  13. Mystery Score Clip 59


    A prelude to the coming Fall, I present a 1980's suspenseful score with some class, from a composer no longer with us, passing away at not too old an age.

    The score has not been released (I don't know about the film).

    The composer doesn't have a lot of credits on IMDb, but he did work on a nubmer of famouns and popular TV series, contributing some episode scores. The suite you are listenign to now comprises about 80% of the score (the end credits are unfortunately cut off midway).

    According to IMDb, this is his first score.

    Enjoy:

    The film is called "The Coming" (though IMDb titles it "Burned at the Stake").

    I went in with low hopes, being driven by nothing more than the score from the opening. I was plesantly surprised. The film is actually well done; it has it's faults, but it's Saturday morning Fall picture for sure.

    A young scholl girl finds herself possessed/haunted (not sure I have the right words) by the spirity of Ann Putman from the Salem Witch Trials. The father of a little girl accaused by Putnam for attacking her with her powers, accidently gets transported to the presant and tries to get help for his daughter. And somehow the evil spirit of Rev. Parris, whom drove these trials in Salem, somehow is there and tries to stop the whole thing; I'm not sure how exactly he got there or how he knew when in the future this was happening (there's some plotholes for sure).

    A local town witch, Merlina, (played by Beverly Ross; she's got an interesting look for the role -- I feel this movie wasted it); she's a little cliched by today's witches in film and TV and her character's not particularly deep, but it's good for the movie.


    The score was by the late Arthur Kempel.

    For the bix six zero we take a trip to the 1960's.

    The composer is completely forgotten, likewise the film. The composer has little credits to his name, but when you hear the music, it's a wonder he didn't do more (isn't that almost always the case?).

    His name is somehat similar to a famous film composer actively composing today.

    I expect nobody to know this.

    I am extremely serious.

    Now, that's not true. The Shadow know, too.


    For some reason everybody here seems to think a point is needed for good music!

    Paul Glass?
  20. Nope. Go fish.

    The composer co-composed an episode of a famous TV series.

  21. I am not sure where we are meant to start with these unknown film/composer combinations, but...some of the SFX that are bleeding through the rip suggests that some of the film at least is set in Africa.

    No idea where to go next!

  22. WWII era, not in Africa. I'll reveal tomorrow of the day after.


    Probably zero hope for a CD release. I know I'd buy one if it ever happened.

    Not in Africa! The SFX certainly sounded as though it was from Africa: but, Hollywood sound department wasn't too accurate with their wildlife sound effects were they?

    Maybe Asia then?

    wild guesses:

    NO MAN IS AN ISLAND (1962)
    BATTLE AT BLOODY BEACH (1961)
    MERRILL'S MARAUDERS (1962)
    BACK DOOR TO HELL (1964)
    CRY OF BATTLE (1963)

    [there's more titles I could type, but they are of European productions and I expect Justin Boggan limits his YouTube explorations to only Hollywood, USA or English language productions (so folks such as Carlo Rustichelli or Francesco De Masi are out of consideration)]
  25. I couldn't even get the right continent! So no guesses of a film title.

    "The Steel Claw".

    It's WWII and a Marine that has never seen battle and lost a hand, is set to go home. But when an exchange for a kidnapped general goes wrong and the captain of the ship is killed, this Marine assumes command and goes to the Philippine island himself to make the exchange. He makes unlikely alliances in an attempt to get the general back.

    The film isn;t particularly complicated, though there is a little surprise around the end, and it has an attractive though really annoying island woman whom seems to serve no purpose other than to cry out our hero's name and then get hurt later.


    The score is by the late Harry Zimmerman. The famous series I cited he co-scored one episode with, was "Gunsmoke" (the other composer was Willis H. Shaefer).

    so Zimmerman is similar to Zimmer. smile

    I was hovering around the early 1960s with my guesses; jb forgot to mention that THE STEEL CLAW is from 1961.

    While it's not from a film or TV series, it is score, and it's by a current film composer.

    Yes, the influence is obvious. The person in control of the project, is a big Danny Elfman fan and asked for something in that vein.

    This is from an event this passed summer called Man in the Moon, put together by radio personality/TV/studio chariman Glenn Beck (he bought a studio ins Texas that some well known films were filmed in, amongst those "JFK" and "Robocop", so in a few years his studio will be making movies).

    The composer is Sam Cardon.

    Here is a trailer for the special:

    I had heard the name before, but never heard any of his scoring. The man's quite talented.
