    Just played: John Debney - The Stoning of Soraya M.
    It's a shame Debney only gets to do a serious drama once in a few years, because The Stoning of Soraya M. certainly is a stunner. Obviously handpicked by the director because of his Passion project, this often channels the Christ drama in its use of ethnic instrumentation (especially the cliched yet always lovely duduk) and female vocal. However, the vocal isn't overltly used and the way Debney handles the violin, guitar and (in the single case of the climactic 12 min. piece The Stoning) a piano solo, he still manages to create its own sound for this particular drama. Despite the total absence of choir, its still lingering in The Passion of the Christ territory, yet in a good way. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a dramatic atmospheric listen.

    Couldn´t agree more! In many aspects, better than The Passion IMO. And the 12 min. cue is totally mindblowing.
    Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you

    NP: Gods And Generals - John Frizzell/Randy Edelman
    Lods of bombast and pathos...just the way I like my scores! cool Wonderful theme; robust orchestration. I still prefer Gettysburg for sheer over-the-top rough 'n' tough burly manly drama, but Frizzell certainly did a wonderful job with the prequel!


    I really really like that score. Something about it just clicks with me.

    Gods & Generals. If I was talking about Star Wars, you'd know about it. (They are my favourite scores after all.)

    NP: Dark Blue Almost Black - Pascal Gaigne

    I realized that I tend to like scores with "tripping" sound of strings (is called pizzicato, right?). This, Spanglish, As Good As It Gets, Thomas Newman scores, etc... cheesy


    Yes, pizzicato is plucked strings. I'll also add Georges Delerue to the mix. A lot of his scores have his winning formula of 'oboe + harp + piano + strings = bliss'
    Oh and do check out Philippe Sarde's Dis-moi Oui... score. It has some of the loveliest pizzicato cues (Cendrillon) I've ever heard.


    NP: Salomone by Patrick Williams
    Finally! Had to wait for a long time to get this cd. It was the last Bibbia cd that was eluding me until now.

    Today I bought this album just because it's by my fav composer and sold at very very low price. And I've never seen the film, but I've heard tons of bad reviews from inside and outside Japan (and even from Zimmer himself). tongue So I expected nothing amazing from this score, but...


    NP: Pearl Harbor - Hans Zimmer

    omg

    I never expected I could get an answer on this question here...
    Miya wrote
    On the other hand, the piano theme in emotional cues are really beautiful. I love when Zimmer writes beautiful themes for piano (Spanglish, The Holiday, As Good As It Gets...). Are there any other scores by him that have something like that?


    Such a beautiful piano piece is written for Pearl Harbor!? WOW.

    One of my favourite scores to relax to. No idea about the movie, doesn't look like my thing at all. I prefer to call it "Relax with John Williams".

    Start with FINAL FANTASY....one of THE best scores in modern times. I swear you'll not be disappointed and there's a load of members on this board who'll back that up.

    As much as I love Zimmer, be prepared for something far deeper and more intelligent than a Zimmer score if you do check out Goldenthal's music. IMO, he has a touch of genius about him... and I rarely use that word!

    "Just around the riverbend" from Pocahontas. Magnificent orchestrations by Danny Troob, and Judy Kuhn gives the best performance ever for a Disney film!

    FINAL FANTASY is one of the most brightest examples of film music in general, not just modern film music.
