Guess the Score V: Guess Again! ALL ABOARD WITH FRANZ!

Having recently seen 3:10 TO YUMA, trains and their musical representation in cinema are very much on my mind. Therefore I give you:

ALL ABOARD!!!

The rules:
1. Inspired by the recent game BhelPuri ran, only COMPOSER and FILM TITLE. One point for each detail, except for clips 8 and 20, which earn double points on account of their obscurity.
2. Also inspired by Bhel's game, the tracks are in chronological order, starting with the OLDEST. This didn't work out so well for me, as there were 3 years featuring multiple titles.
3. From a conversation that was made towards the end of the last game, it was felt that we should restrict the number of submissions per player. We ask that you keep it to two guesses for each category for each clip. If you could make this easy on me by not submitting your guesses one-at-a-time, this would be appreciated.

The clues:
1. Every clip comes from a scene featuring a train, and sometimes even from films about a train.
2. While you don't have to guess the track name, it's going to help you if you know it. And in a sense, you already do.
3. As mentioned, tracks are in chronological order, starting with the grand-daddy of them all. There's a big gap between clip 9 and 10.
4. Three composers appear more than once.
5. Clips appear from scores that have appeared in other Guess-the-Score games.


Clip 1
A composer known for his at-times-slavish echoing of the image in film scoring doesn't disappoint here. Wait till you hear what this guy does with airplanes.

Clip 2
This acclaimed composer balances the chug-a-chug motion of the train with the disoriented state of the character.

Clip 3
Bernstein tells a story that this guy thought the Orient Express should have been scored as a 'train of death'. Ha! Like this work of his? That's the friendliest train I ever heard.

Clip 4
A composer who spoke out against mickey-mousing concentrates on romance in one of the best train-set courtships in film. The woodwinds subtle hint at the motion of the train during all versions of this score's love theme aboard the train.

Clip 5
This composer's harmonic writing and orchestrational ability have often been besmirched over the years. Here his specialty in percussion shines through for a genre of film he's not often associated with. It's all here - the train whistle, the force of the train, the motion sickness...

Clip 6
The definitive cinematic train score. Without slamming down a simple meter, you get the giddy sense of drifting motion of a train.

Clip 7
A train slowly grunts to life and heaves on its way.

Clip 8 - BONUS POINTS!
Quite a shame Ridley Scott can't go back to this composer.
Extra note: This CD was quite special, as I believe it is the only time Falkirkbairn and I have received the same CD at almost exactly the same time, while occupying the same timezone. Clip 4 was purchased on that same day, when 2 of our contestants were not looking.

Clip 9
This composer scores the adventure more than the train.

Clip 10
This composer typically avoids the motion of the train in scoring the emotional throughline of the scene.

Clip 11
A nice impressionistic portrait of a train. An early score from a very popular composer.

Clip 12
A pretty good film up to this point jumps the shark, and the orchestra furiously speeds up for the big moment. (Here the composer suggests the motion of the train, though realistically, the train would be travelling at the same speed throughout this scene, so really it's speaking to the audience's need for greater intensity.)

Clip 13
Damn, that's some flute work! The composer who has scored more trains than any other makes even a convoy of horses sound like a train! This is not quite a feature film score.

Clip 14
That glinting percussion and grunting brass somehow summon the picture of a train in my mind. This is also not quite a feature film score.

Clip 15
Saxophones, saxophones, saxophones, saxophones... Steam train chugging along. A rare bit of image-echoing from a composer known their arthouse work.

Clip 16
This composer has remarked of this scene that it didn't need a train motion and such a sunny love theme rendition, but that the director wanted it to sound like Maurice Jarre. Sounds better!

Clip 17
One of the less popular (and unfairly ridiculed) Oscar winners of the 90s takes over from Thomas Newman, and in the spirit of Clip 4, concentrates on emotion, the train only intruding via a gentle string meter.

Clip 18
Composer known more for their documentary scores pairs up with a legendary winner of the Best Foreign Language film Oscar. This probably could have also been for double points, but I wanted it to add up to a round score of 50.

Clip 19
Now that's what I call a train of death! As the bodies pile up, it almost feels like the train is dancing some wicked two-step along with the killer.

Clip 20 - BONUS POINTS!
This composer appears elsewhere in this game. Chinese film. (Cue 'Twilight Zone' theme for erhu.)

Clip 21
My favourite film of 2006, next to GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK. (My facebook profile will be useless here, don't bother.) I'm not sure what it is about this piece that suggests a train.

Clip 22
Reminds me of something else by this composer, or perhaps something else by another composer.

Clip 23
The last film was simply honored to be counted as a nominee in such a prestigious English-language award ceremony. Faced with a scene involving a train, this composer sensibly scores the emotional climax of the story instead.

23 clips, 21 of which are 2 points each, the other two earn 4 points each, which adds up to 50 points.
