    Likewise, I recently found a new appreciation for this score. That final piece is quintessential Horner loveliness.

    Really good radio special Erik. I listened to it when you first post it and I'll sit through it again tomorrow. There is just so much wonderful music this man has written.

    Anyone know where to get his full score sheet music? I've tried online but it's mostly piano arrangements done by other people or specific releases. I'm very interested in getting my hands on Enemy at the Gates. The opening track has been mentioned here before. 15 minutes of terrific writing. I'm very curious to see the orchestration on paper.

    Someone's working on Willow, I believe.

    I agree.
  2. I'm sure, Thor won't agree.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Truth is, I did own this once, but didn't care for it much at the time, so I must have sold it or traded it away. I'd be interested in checking it out again, after all these years later.
    I am extremely serious.

    Well, you've picked a rather obscure composer!
    Spot on review James... an 'alright' score, that's really saved by one heck of a finale.

    Latest review: Balto

    http://www.movie-wave.net/balto/

    Superb score, which had the "misfortune" of coming out the same year as Apollo 13 and Braveheart.
  5. I'm always underwhelmed by Balto, it's occasionally lovely, but definitely my least liked of his animated films.

  6. Synchrotones presents Part 2 of its James Horner: A Composer's Special.
    This time exploring his scores from the 1990s... and there's quite a few of them!

  7. I like this series a lot, Pete. These are very comprehensive articles and have helped me narrow down which Horner scores I still need to go after.

    I'm with you on this one though I take "animated" out of the equation. I like it but don't love it. it's way down on my favourite Horner scores of which there are a lot.

    [startquote]Holy crap! No idea this existed. From a program called "Backstage at Disney":

    The scoring stage footage starts halfway through part four:

    SOMETHING WICKED...

    and concludes in part five:

    THIS WAY COMES

    That's Emil Richards on chimes, Shawn Murphy recording in the booth (he does not have a right hand), and Ray Bradbury watching. When Horner calls to "Greg" that's Greig McRitchie, orchestrator.

    Horner appears not to have his English accent.

    And this is really trivial, but when we see the multitrack tape deck recording the Main Title, I am pretty sure that is the exact same 1" 32-track digital 3M machine that we had to use at Disney Imagineering to play back scores recorded on it, like Star Trek II and Testament! (Neil Bulk, do you remember? That crazy tape deck feeds the tape from the inner part of the reel, not the outer.)

    Horner looks like a young school boy back then.

    Ah yes, the famous disappearing accent of James Horner! I always thought that was good for a laugh. biggrin
  10. A new book on the score for "Willow":

    As well as being a book on the score, it IS the score.

    I want it so bad but can't justify spending that much money.
