    I for one would be interested in listening to some clips, even lower quality, just to get an idea. I've so much material these days to try and go through and even though I'm not working full time there are still not enough hours in the day.

    Here's a fabulous concert piece by composer MALCOLM ARNOLD


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIcIU4o61WQ


    Amazingly descriptive piece on Robert Burns famous poem, and no surprise that ( as you all know ) Arnold was quite a prolific film composer during the 1950's-60's. This music was also the template for Sir William Walton's Battle In The Air from his rejected score to The Battle of Britain, Battle In The Air was the only piece retained in the film that was eventually scored by Ron Goodwin.

    I did get some, then lost it because my hard drive packed up and it was one of the many albums I didn't back up.

    For comparison here's the scene from The Battle of Britain that uses William Walton's Battle In The Air.

    The aerial scenes are possibly the best ever filmed ( no crappy CGI here tongue ) and were very influential on some little known bloke called George Lucas wink

    p.s. music starts up at the 1.10 mark

    I think both pieces are fantastic music and it's good to be able to compare them.

    Anyone else have an opinion?

    no, I'm not talking about 300 wink

    I just watched University Challenge, a program I normally look blankly at during my inability to answer anything.

    One of the rounds tonight was a 'sound' round featuring the music of Vaughan Williams and I got 100%.

    I'm just toooooooooooo good! wink

  18. I was in Bizarro World on the 4th of July -- not only did they actually PLAY something by Jerry Goldsmith on the radio, but they did it on a holiday!

    Some local classical music radio program played the concert piece "Fireworks", after the fireworks celebration.

    That's all kinds of awesome right there. I kept thinking, "This sounds like Jerry, but it can't be..." ... in Bizarro Panama City on the 4th of July, oh yes it can!

    La Cathedrale Engloutie ( ENGULFED CATHEDRAL ) by Claude Debussy

    Based on the Breton legend telling how the Cathedral of Ys was engulfed by the sea in the 4th century AD because of the impiety of the inhabitants. This magnificent piece ( originally written for just the piano ) runs at just under 8 minutes of orchestral power and shows Debussy's preoccupation with water and bells. Pianist Robert Schmitz, who studied with Debussy, rightly calls attention to the ambiguity at the heart of the piece : is it an "association of two religious concepts or a struggle between them"?

    Orchestrated by Leopold Stowkowski ( yep, the legendary conductor who appears in Disney's FANTASIA ) I just can't recommend this piece enough.


    I wanted to put a youtube clip of this piece up but I couldn't find a single ( good ) one out of the many available slant

    It's, how Jordi he say, 'mindblowing', but it's got to be the fully orchestrated version by Leopold Stowkowski.

    p.s. I never realised it was used in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK?
