    Yes, I see where that could indeed be debated for hours (I myself was already thinking along the lines of Bernstein's The Man With The Golden Arm, or Mancini's Peter Gunn), but I'm more than happy to go along with your assessment, which is most proper and fitting!

    Good list man cool

    I like your inclusion of The Untouchables, that's a great theme though I doubt many here will have heard it? Riddle also did fantastic underscore for the Batman TV show as well as arrangements for the like of Frank Sinatra....but you knew this anyway biggrin wink

    p.s. Have you heard the Danger Man theme....it's got Harpsicord wink

    Also noticed that the director of this episode is Peter Yates. ( 5 degrees of Kevin Bacon or whatever it's called? Yates was the director of Bullit )

    ^ Agreed 110% And again Timmer your listening habits are extraordinary!

    NP: Music For Stage and Screen - Aaron Copland and John Williams

    John Williams conducts the Boston Pop in performances of Copland's The Red Pony suite, Williams' own Born on the Fourth of July concert suite, Copland's Quiet City for Strings, Trumpet and English Horn and Williams' brilliant The Reivers suite narrated by Burgess Meredith.

    The Red Pony has its moments... and you can hear how influential Copland is to the Williams' Americana sound. I can't say I'm too fond of the middle portions of this suite but the upbeat main theme, which opens and closes the suite, is very enjoyable.

    The Born on the Fourth of July suite is magnificent... however, I which Williams had left the breathtaking "Theme" to be performed at the end of the suite. After the Theme we get two cues from the score "Cua Viet River, Vietnam 1968" and "Massapequa...The Early Days." While those are two excellent cues (the whole score is excellent), they aren't the two best cues to end off a suite. A little bit of re-arranging, which I can do in iTunes, makes for a better listen as I stick the Theme at the end of the suite and move "Massapequa...The Early Days" to the beginning. And let's not forget Tim Morrison's trumpet solos. They are, as always, brilliant. Such a distinct sound.

    Copland's "Quiet City for Strings, Trumpet and English Horn" is a soothing ride which perfectly sets up the highlight of the album for me and is one of my all time favorite re-recordings. I know Michael (franz) and I had a "discussion" about this suite months ago concerning the inclusion of the Merideth narration. IMHO, I think it fits the suite perfectly. Now, would I have liked to heard the suite without the narration...? Sure... but I think the arrangement of the music allows for brief moments of narration while the highlight cues from the score are performed without. I think it's a good trade off.

    Anyway, this is a solid album and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Copland's distinct Americana sound.

    I agree with every fibre of my being. Ironically this was his first Disney score he got no Academy Award for, after he won it years in a row. Must have been the sexually enhanced atmosphere... burn, witch, burn... rolleyes

    This was an important reference of Bruce Broughton's score for the Matthew Broderick film INFINITY.

    I liked the main theme in the first and last tracks, and a few in the middle, but there were a number that were too quiet or almost atonal for me. But I confess I prefer lavish melodies and generally don't favor more subtle or abstract themes.

    Why couldn't Zimmer's POTC scores be like this? Don't bother asking, this is far superior to the first two POTC scores -- and a decent imitation of Debney's far superior Cutthroat Island.

    Is this a recent score? It's damn hard keeping up with Morricone releases.
