  1. Well, I wouldn't want this forum to turn into a musicologist symposion. This is my hobby and if I learn something along the way that's fine but that's not my goal really. I do enough analysing in other places, I don't need no analyse to dead music I listen to for the pure fun of it.
    A nice little argument like we had recently about "Smaug" is nice and doesn't harm anyone.

    (though if I may, I sometimes wish you put your musical expertise to a bigger use on this board, D. I'd love to hear, from a musical standpoint, why do you love some scores and why you hate some I might for example like, it's not about having an argument, to me it would be a huge learning experience simply). Still it would be great to hear the "why" sometimes smile .


    This is what I've been wanting more of from D for years and years. For example I wouldn't mind if he criticized the Hobbit if he would write Pawel-sized monologues explaining the issues he has with it, in full musical detail.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    I am afraid i don't have the time to write essays that over-analyze scores to death in a public forum (and also bear in mind that these usually don't interest most people; they would fall into the tl:dr category like what happens most of the times with this kind of posts). If it's a score has some magnificent arrangments and great use of themes / instruments, then it should automatically speak for itself and its audience, especially when it also works wonders in the film it accompanies. If a score is sparse and uninteresting, filled with countless moments of generic underscore and most importantly doesn't help the movie like it could, then we don't need 10-page essays to convince us otherwise wink

    Maybe when i am a pensioner.

    Yeah, it's funny, but most people tend to forget it actually has its origin as a performance art project, in other words with the INTENSION to sound like that -- called the Portsmouth Sinfonia. As Wiki says:

    "The Portsmouth Sinfonia was an orchestra founded by a group of students at the Portsmouth School of Art in England, in 1970. The Sinfonia had an unusual entrance requirement, in that players had to either be non-musicians, or if a musician, play an instrument that was entirely new to them.[1] Among the founding members was one of their teachers, English composer Gavin Bryars. The orchestra started as a one-off, tongue-in-cheek performance art ensemble but became a cultural phenomenon over the following ten years, with concerts, record albums, a film and a hit single. They last performed publicly in 1979.[2]"

    Sorry for taking the butt out of the joke, as they say.
    I am extremely serious.

    It is. I actually like a lot of absurd performance art like that. Funny and interesting at the same time.

    It's a bit like other modern artistic expressions (in visual arts, for example) that try to 'provoke' or at least turn our perceptions upside-down. It's a cool experiment, I think.

  16. TITANIC LIVE
    Monday 27 April 2015 - 7:00 PM

    James Horner's epic score to 1997 blockbuster Titanic will be brought to life like never before in the world premiere of Titanic Live.

    Titanic, written and produced by James Cameron, became one of the most successful films of all time, grossing over $2 billion at the box office and winning 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director and more importantly, Best Original Song and Dramatic Score.

    Titanic Live will see James Horner himself conduct a 90-piece orchestra, choir and Celtic musicians whilst the film is projected on the big screen in stunning high definition.

    This world premiere event promises to be the live cinematic event of the year, re-creating the uniquely familiar soundtrack which will forever be a part of cinematic history.

    Yeah, something a la the Vienna concert. Maybe that experience 'thawed' him somewhat to public appearances, which is why he's doing this now...and maybe a more proper concert down the road.

    I love and adore that score from start to finish. IMO one of Horner's finest.

    This year, he has two classical pieces yet to premiere. One for 4 horns and the other is for violin and cello.

    I hope they come to fruition (the violin and cello one has already been delayed by over a year, hasn't it?)
