    NP: Symphony #4 in F Minor--Vaughan Williams

    My version is with the N.Y. Philharmonic conducted by Leonard Bernstein. While his Sinfonia Antarctica will forever remain one of my all time favorite works this symphony like his others are all excellent.


    It's an incredible work Tom, and with such a violent begining that might shock anyone who was only used to his more 'pastoral' works.

    NP : TUBULAR BELLS - Mike Oldfield

    If memory serves, Oldfield was 19 years old when he did this. Astonishing! shocked

    The original and still brilliant! cool

    Wow! 19 years.

    Heard this once. Very nice.

    He uses that same pattern a bit in Music of the Spheres, or is that just me?

    NP: Symphony No. 7 "Sinfonia Antarctica"--Vaughan Williams

    For any readers who don't know this was the music used in the film Scott of the Antarctic and is my top ten scores of all time. This is one that I could take to the desert island and listen to on a daily basis and never get tired of it. This work, at least in my opinion, takes a ranking with some of the great classical works of all time also.
    listen to more classical music!

    Heard last night: DA PACEM - Arvo Pärt

    Even though I'm not very fond of the sound of the organ when used this way, I loved the experience. The choir sounds amazing, the texts are sacred (literally) and the composition is like they are ages old. Perfectly peaceful.
  7. Tim, you must give us something to go on with this new Mike Oldfield album. If you have to compare it to the orchestral writing of any film composer?

    I believe this is the piece Zimmer quotes very obviously at the opening of THE THIN RED LINE. (Is it also known as "Pace in Pace"?)

    As fas as I know, The Thin Red Line opens with Ave Maria from Schubert. Arvo Pärt's Annum per Annum is also featured in the very first moments, if I recall correctly, but that's not on the Da Pacem CD. Or do you mean the opening of the soundtrack? As far as I know, this isn't Pace in Pace... wasn't that another composition of him?
  9. Actually, I'm thinking of ANNUM PER ANNUM, not PACE IN PACE, which is (I think) another composition, but possibly not by Part.

    The film of THE THIN RED LINE does open with the quote from ANNUM PER ANNUM though, same as the soundtrack. It's the shot of the crocodile. It then shifts to some harp-and-string-based piece by Zimmer, before a segue into Gabriel Faure's REQUIEM.

    It's got a driving main theme which is very melodic and has a song-like quality, and goes through various renditions throughout the whole album, bonding everything together. The whole work is particularly string-driven, festive, deeply melodic with catchy themes and instantly memorable motifs and simple. Evokes ADIEMUS and KARL JENKINS at places but it's even simpler and more approachable, also contains choir, sopranos, trumpets, percussion, lots of piano, synths, acoustic guitar, bells.

    Nothing particularly mind-blowing or ground-breaking at all but it is a well-spirited easy-listen, feel-good and melodic orchestral music, an enjoyable listening experience.

    Look over at the facebook group for more wink

    I am not sure you'll like it though, it's too simple in comparison with what you usually like to listen to.

    NP:--The Red Poppy--Gliere

    Look for a review of this work on my site in the next couple of days. I think many of you would find it interesting with its penatonic tunes and wonderful melodies. Written in 27 it is almost the complete opposite of Rite of Spring and Firebird.
    listen to more classical music!

    But, isn't it a film score? (I know some of it wasn't used... but some of it was!)

    In any case, it's one of my favourite Barry albums, and the finale cue (which did survive in the film) is a magnificent piece of film scoring.

    I reckon so < Clint Eastwood mode


    Either way it's a fantastic late night chill out album, works perfectly with the Chet Baker tracks too cool

    It's great! You should enthuse about it to Martijn as he'd absolutely adore it biggrin



    NP : LOW - David Bowie



    Another album from my distant past, it also includes a collaboration with Brian Eno and was later turned into the "classical work" as the 'Low Symphony' by Philip Glass.

    Bowie is one of the greatest popular and influentia music artists ever IMO.

    I don't know why Tom, but on ALL the versions I have it's spelt 'A-N-T-A-R-T-I-C-A ? no extra C

    No idea why? On the film score it is, indeed SCOTT OF THE ANTARCTIC.

    Can anyone explain? confused
