Sounds a bit revival-ish?
But maybe it's a Norwegian thing: I can't really place it either, and I really didn't have any such connotations.
Anyway, really happy with it. The highlight of the batch back then for me!
Yeah, revivalish. It's definitely not Norwegian...it's a pure American phenomenon. If I just could remember the name of the damn things; or some of the pastors. Pat Robertson is a name that springs to mind, but I know it's not him. DAMMIT!
Billy Graham?

No, not Billy. I think it was Pat something or something Robertson (not the American politician). Round face, hair standing up. Some of his HUGE gathering revivals were shown on a Christian TV channel here in Norway in the 90's, and I noticed how the orchestral music in the background followed his words, soaring higher and higher as the intensity grew. Or when he spoke in tongues. Or when people were 'saved'. Stuff like that. I just remember thinking about this when I first bought the Lewis set. Lewis is a firm believer, and I felt some of the music had been culled from that type of setting -- the explicit, soaring melodicism (at times a bit TOO overt) and the constant cymbal crashes.
But by all means...I like listening to it and I wouldn't have sold it if if weren't in my iTunes.I am extremely serious. -

NP: NONE BUT THE BRAVE (John Williams)
One of his rare dramatic scores in the 60's. Lots of dissonance and suspense, but also a great main theme that reminds me of Miklos Rozsa at times. The film is quite decent too, directed by and starring none other than Frank Sinatra.I am extremely serious. -

NP: NOT WITH MY WIFE, YOU DON'T! (John Williams)
Now HERE's the Mancini influence you speak of, Southall. But smooth listening nonetheless. Superb melodic skills and just plain fun all around.I am extremely serious. -

NP: The Nun's Story - Franz Waxman
Listening to this one for the first time...and I may have found my favourite Waxman score!
Not brash in the slightest (I tend to think of a lot of his material as being a bit too "in your face" - but that may be down to my limited exposure to his work), this is a lovely and seems to go straight to the heart of Audrey Hepburn's journey in the film.
I think that this may be a digital release of the sub-par-sounding Stanyan Records CD. But, it's much better than nothing.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

And I am enjoying it so much I had to look back to see what my 1959 choice on my favourites list is - Ben-Hur. No chance of beating that one, but The Nun's Story is a significant score in my book.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

PROMETHEUS
Third listen and only a couple of cues are interesting (which means a bit of alright), the rest either grates or makes me sleepy. I can't see this getting better with time. Streitenfeld is no Goldsmith, and his ideas here do support the movie but little else. Jerry could please in and out of the film without breaking a sweat. So as of now I'll accept the score within the film, but as a standalone listen, for me, it bites the dust."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Correct, that is my favourite ever Horner track. 8+ minutes of exhilaration and fanfaristic brilliance. I think I'm not alone in this. And I seriously doubt he could write something like this again, his style has definitely shifted.
Spock's Cabin comes in second place...

THE FOUR FEATHERS - JAMES HORNER
Now this features my favourite Horner cue of the 00s, and I'm being truthful:
THE MAHDI
Such a memorable concoction of everything Horner used to stand for: pure emotion and power. He hasn't done anything quite like it in the recent years sadly.
IMO this is a better score than Avatar."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Ice Age: Continental Drift - John Powell
Third disappointing score in a row. Happy Feet Two and The Lorax are two of the weakest I think he's done. This is better than these but there's nothing I need to hear more than once. He clearly knows his Ice Age music inside out and uses some of the smaller themes from his first two scores in a more major role here. An as usual, everything is well orchestrated, well recorded and his sound excels, I just wish he'd apply it to something different! -

Well, if you look at animated as a wholly different medium, yeah. I'd love to hear him get out of the typecast and do some wholly different films for a change. He has huge potential and those money-changing sequels-of-sequels of animated films he does all the time do not seem to provide him with the inspiration he needs, perhaps.Love Maintitles.
