    I really thought the marriage with the Mexicans was completely wrong in so many musical ways. And the film was equally weak.


    The guitar parts were kind of gimmicky (if fun) but the Mermaid and Spaniard* themes feature some of the best choral writing of Zimmer's career. IMO of course. *I mean the one featured at the end of the "On Stranger Tides" track on the album, which seems to play whenever the Spanish guys are doing dramatic stuff. Or just walking around, actually.

    It wasn't written by Whitacre, Zimmer consulted Whitacre before he wrote the score for training on choral writing.

    And I think the training continued to show in the very interesting, unique and effective (if not to everyone's tastes) choral writing in The Dark Knight Rises.

  8. The entire Mermaids track is credited to Whitacre on the CD.

    Really? I thought the third Pirates score was not only the best of the lot, but also one of the best scores of Zimmer's entire career!

    I agree, Jon. POTC3 is a fabulous score and one of Zimmer's best!

    Ditto! Again it seems that much of it wasn't written by him, though, based on the number of people who claim to have written a cue or two for it on their websites.

    POTC3 is one of the few Zimmer scores I actually like. Good fun.

    Well, that's ridiculous and obviously untrue (the credit I mean, not you saying that he's credited)...that track is filled to the brim with Zimmerisms. And we all known Zimmer's love of handing out credit to people that help him...

    Is this under-appreciated or what?

    Yeah, I'm surprised it's not more popular here. I love it and the series. Can't wait for Season 3.

    That is because you've never seen it wink You should try out the first season at least. It's only a handful of episodes.

    First listen. Danna does Indian music well, doesn't he?

    World music, rather. He's most vividly taking journeys into various musical worlds with different kinds of scores he writes, listen to 8mm for instance.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Whitacre wrote on his website, that he co-composed the Mermaids Theme with Hans. On Hans-Zimmer.com Geoff Zanelli is also credited for this track.

    I didn't make myself very clear there Jon, I was talking about the films, not the scores.

    Israeli sopranist Hila Plitman, don't think she's really famous unless you read a lot of film music booklets. She performed soprano parts on Da Vinci Code and Pirates 3.

    I was joking Pawel. I only said it because Liz Fraser invented her own language for the Cocteau Twins.

    she did an amazing job on Jeff Ronas score album Songs Of The Sea - The Regatta Suite for the olympic summer games 2008. the song Wisdom Of Wind is fantastic.
  29. I just put on "Cloud Atlas" after I read with astonishment how much CC hates the score over at Filmtracks. (Look at the board!) I really value his judgement but I can't follow him here. Sure, the score is no masterwork, but it's an OK score with some really nice moments IMHO.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    I don't give a rats ass how simple the music maybe be. If it moves emotionally then it's doing its job. For instance, BT's Monster. Seems like rather simple score but it's one of the rare scores written in the last 10-15 years that continuously brings me to tears.

    Cloud Atlas, while I haven't seen the film so I don't know how it works in context, give me butterflies in my stomach. I get a genuine and pleasing emotional reaction out of Tykwer, Heil and Klimick's music and that's alright with me.
