Film (movie) Music

[TheGSMoeller]

One of my favorite pieces of music, Camille 's theme from JLG's film, Le Mepris (Contempt). Music by Georges Delerue.

Cool if you have a set....Walker (I believe she passed away) put together some wonderful dark themes here along with a splash of Elfman.  However, his influence his throughout.  Pricey goomer:$50 for two cds.  Guess after they sold out the first run they thought they could up the price.  The volume two is twice as much, but 4 discs.  This set is plenty for me.

The recent death of the composer made me search out this CD which I had in my collection but never properly listened to before ( ). It was something of a revelation, hauntingly atmospheric (no pun intended) music, which I played through from beginning to end with much pleasure. Not only is the Dracula score gripping but all the other extracts, especially 'Death and the Maiden' were equally captivating - a great discovery for me which encouraged me to explore Kilar's non-movie scores on Naxos.

This and Max Richter's beautiful score for 'Sarah's Key' (see above) have been great recent discoveries for me.

Agree about the Dracula score.  A few years ago I heard it being played on a classical radio program without knowing what it was, and really enjoyed it.

Thanks - and it is now on Naxos too.

In the mood for a bit of Bernstein....Elmer that is.

Good one.

A few tracks from Steven Price's now Oscar winning score to GRAVITY. I'm posting two tracks that I believe to be the two most crucial moments of the film, and Price's music hit the mark perfectly.

The track Shenzou from Gravity reminded me of a track from The Fountain, scored by Darren Aronofsky's longtime collaborator Clint Mansell. Here is the track Death is the Road to Awe that took place in the final minutes of the film. I'm hoping for a similar musical experience from Mansell in the upcoming film, Noah.

Hans Zimmer seems to get type casted into the big-budgeted action films these days, but his best music can be found elsewhere. Best example is from Malick's 1997 film The Thin Red Line. Best track is the serenely beautiful Light. Another highlight comes from the track titled Journey To The Line, a piece that builds to an incredible intensity then returns to a similar blissfulness heard in Light.  You might notice the middle section of Journey as it has been used in many film trailers.

I'll close with one of my favorites from film scores, or from anything for that matter.  I would like to think of this as my own theme music, if I had one, following me around as I walked about...

  I don't have any Rota, but I know that track well, from seeing the movie so many times.  I may have to find myself a copy

Two soundtracks this afternoon.  The first is from one of my favorite movies .  The cover is from the tv series, but I believe all the music is from the film.




and consists of Anton Karas playing his zither throughout


Theme from the Third Man Anton Karas, zither - YouTube

and this



Not only do you get that Quincy Jones' sound along with some Ray Charles, but you have a couple vocal runs which include one from Glenn Campbell.  All in all, two excellent soundtracks with the first being one that may surprise you.

Wonderful post, Greg!

Among my favorite soundtracks.  Zimmer's best work imo, though I tend to like him more than most here it seems.  Also, I really like the Malick film quite a lot (what a cast!).

Currently enjoying the Suite For Richard by Howard Shore:
[asin]B000002UL8[/asin]

From amazon:

The music for a docudrama about actors portraying Richard III could be slavishly historical or irreverently high-camp. Here, Howard Shore joins the London Philharmonic Orchestra in taking the former route. There is a mixture of authentic Elizabethan strains with a general angst-ridden mood to capture the tension involved in Shakespeare's tragedy about the struggle for power and the death of a tyrant. Among the noteworthy features: The London Voices supplying a mixed chorus with phrases translated from the play and the film into Latin. There is also a cathedral organ recorded under the high vaulted ceilings of England's All Saints Church. This "medieval sound," while not action-specific, depends too much on the movie's visual reinforcement to be anything other than academic mush for initiated musicologists. --Joseph Lanza

I love Badalamenti's music. In this album, there are some changes of arrangement from the originals, and 3 pieces not available in other soundtrack albums are included.

Recently re-discovered Mancini's  "Baby Elephant Walk" from the movie Hatari! One of those pop tunes everyone seems to recognize... really a brilliant composition.
