James Horner's 'danger cue!' fucks me off so much. You know the one. Four quick notes, usually brass. It's played lots in Troy (probably due to time constraints, I understand he was drafted in pretty late after the previous score, despite being quite beautiful in places, was scrapped) and makes an appearance in Avatar, specifically "the destruction of Hometree". Lazy, lazy writing.

http://open.spotify.com/user/ellywu2/playlist/680wtzEEfFA3fCy2kTTdj4 Here's mine. Nothing special, though slowly descends into more classical pieces rather than film scores. (As an aside, if you haven't heard it before, please listen to Tchaikovsky's 'Marche Slave'. Far better than the more popular 1812 Overture. It's great, and has clearly inspired film scores.)

Stare-Out posted:Yeah, Giacchino is pretty underrated. I haven't listened to the Star Trek score(s) yet but I've always liked what I've heard from him ever since the PSX versions of Medal of Honor and especially the soundtrack to The Lost World: Jurassic Park PSX game where he managed to emulate John Williams' style perfectly while adding his own spin to it. I like his stuff, but I find the second phrase of the main Star Trek motif grating. One note in particular just doesn't gel with me. I'll have a listen and describe it in more musical detail when I get home. I did quite enjoy Bryan Tyler's credit scene song for Iron Man 3.

ComposerGuy posted:Great score that doesn't get talked about much. Absolutely great theme. I'm a big fan of Silvestri. One of my favourite scores of his is the Judge Dredd score - specifically the main theme, played over the opening credits. The brass is fantastic and hits, what seems to be, a ridiculously high FFFFFFFFFFFF(note: more F's for exaggeration) note at one point. I get Wagnerian chills whenever I hear that score. re: ST, the first phrase descends and then the next phrase ascends, resolving on a note which just doesn't subjectively work for me. When I'm in front of my piano I'll play it out and give you the exact reason I find it jarring. What does everyone think about the Kingdom of Heaven score by Gregson-Williams? (barring the obvious inclusion of a cue from Goldsmith's 13th Warrior). I'm quite a fan - it contains accessible, modernised medieval music - "Burning the Past" is a cue I particularly enjoy. haakman fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Jun 11, 2013 |

I listened to some John Barry last night. It made me sad about the general shift towards minimalism, percussion and braaaahhmmms. Love me some John Barry.

Howard Shore was around 3-4 minutes a day on Lord of the Rings... ... so double that for Williams.

Too brassy and bold? Have they even heard Horner's score for it?!?

Oblivion's score is basically 'Zebra2 - The Soundtrack!'

Ba ba ba baaaaaaaaaaaa Urgh. Such a hack job. e: for a bit more content... check out the 1st movement of Mahler's 5th. So that's where Horner got it from! haakman fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Oct 7, 2013 |
