    NP: Jesus, the Desire of Ages - Patrick Rundbladh

    I really like this score, beautiful uses of harmony, ethnic instruments and vocals which are more pleasant/mysterious than wailing.


    Its like Passion of the Christ on a lower music budget.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  3. "Ages"! I first read "Agnes". dizzy
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    NP: The Last Mimzy - Howard Shore

    Underrated. It's like a bleak E.T. set in Dudley.

    NP: MY WEEK WITH MARILYN (Conrad Pope et.al.)

    Not sure how the album holds up as a whole yet, but I was taken by the track "Colin Runs Off To The Circus", which sounds VERY much like John Williams. Not so strange, perhaps, since Pope has worked with Williams on numerous occasions, but still.....

    I think I've seen the film, but I can hardly remember anything from it.
    I am extremely serious.

  7. NP: Bright Star (Mark Bradshaw)

    Funnily enough, marking an essay about this score, so just returning to it to see if the student is right. Scores for Campion's films are pretty distinctive. If someone can identify what this has in common with things like The Piano, Portrait of a Lady, In the Cut and Holy Smoke, I'd love to hear what it is.

    Lovely little film, with a veritable tour de force by Kenneth Brannagh as Laurence Olivier whose initial lust for Monroe turns to sheer exasperation.

  11. NP: Venus In Fur - Alexandre Desplat

    I'm enjoying this new score from Desplat for Polanski's film. Very Desplat-ish.

    It has been released as a single, 37-minute single track (though at the moment iTunes is confused and is only offering the digital booklet for sale). I have edited it down to a 14-track collection for convenience.

    NP: RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (Patrick Doyle)

    2011 was an amazing year for Doyle, and while this is far from the highlight (too many Zimmer-type ostinati for that), it still has his trademark melodic finesse and some great exotic textures.

    NP: Will - Nigel Clarke & Michael Csanyi-Wills (title track from Varese 35th collection)

    Why did this not get a proper release? I only knew it was worth listening to due to D's recommendation almost 2 years ago. Its a bloody fantastic huge epic choir and orchestra explosion.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  14. It did -- Varese Sarabande released it; here's an FSM thread on it with more information, back from the time it was released:

    Absolutely! I just discovered it for the first time too. A superb score! I posted my comments in the FSM thread Justin linked to. Thankfully, it has a proper release.

    Nice! Is it one suite without any stops and did you make the tracks at random, or are there obvious music-breaks in which you could split the track up? I love an ongoing suite, but I hate a 1-track-with-pauses like Poledouris' Les Miserables...
  20. From listening to the suite there are only one or two points at which (I think) are specific breaks - but I have no idea whether they are actual breaks between "cues" or whether they are just pauses within cues.

    I've really just made personal judgements based on what I hear: is there, say, a resolution of a string phrase with a natural fade, is there a point where there seems to be a pause with the end of a specific musical idea and the beginning of a different musical idea, etc.

    Listening back to the 14 tracks I made, a lot of them begin with variations of what I would call a recurring musical motif (a theme?) - making it seem that it's the beginning of a different treatment/interpretation of this motif. This fits in with something Jon Broxton mentioned about there being the possibility that Desplat wrote very little music for the film - perhaps only a title and end cue. If this is the case and the composer has expanded these ideas out to make a suite based upon variations of this central composition then the splices I have made may reflect these different treatments? I've no idea, but it all sounds plausible.

  21. King Arthur time! Today playing:

    Camelot - Brothers Danna
    Knights of the Round Table - Miklos Rozsa
    Suite from Lancelot and Guinevere - Ron Goodwin
    The Mists of Avalon - Lee Holdridge
    First Knight - Jerry Goldsmith
    Excalibur: Siegfried's Funeral March from Götterdämmerung - Richard Wagner

    knight Volker
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  22. "Along Came A Spider" (expanded)
    Goldsmith


    Giving this it's last fair shot listen. I'm picking parts of cues that are good, to make a suite or two if there's enough good material.


    I feel there's nothing particularly great about this score -- certainly not a strong point in his career.
    It's got some of that later scoring style in it, with some ST:9 and "U.S. Marshals" ideas breifly throughout.

    It's even got some Jerry meandering. Even when his cues went nowhere, they sounded so professional. A lot of composers today could learn a thing or two about this.

    May I commend you for having no Zimmer in that line-up and for saving the best till last cool beer

  26. Well ...
    Firstly: I do not have King Arthur in my collection.
    Secondly: IMO Zimmer has done worse than he did with KA.
    Thirdly: Even so, his style simply would not have fitted in this distinctly symphonic play list.

    Zimmer's KA is one of the albums that solidified my film music obsession.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  28. Personally, KA would be a "must include" for me, but maybe we can settle on adding "Merlin" by Trevor Jones and, if available, some tracks from the BBC series as well.
  29. I truely forgot that one! shame Of course it belongs in this line up!

    Yeah, I'd have added MERLIN. I'd also add Ron Goodwin's SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT and Paul Lewis ARTHUR OF THE BRITONS.

    I think I could even find some room for Zimmer's KING ARTHUR wink ( I dislike a lot of it but it does have some moments )
