"A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies" has very little score. It has an opening titles set to black screen and white text, with a little drawing of Martin. Then short cues for chapters where he film would tell different aspects. And a closing credits piece.
I'd say there's about 3:35 of score in there (mainly piano; couldn't be more than ten players, at most). I think two cues were repeated. At least one cue I didn't count, because I think it was tracked. The end credits reads: "Add'l Music provided by Bescol Productions Capitol/OGM Production Music. I suspect that cue was from there.
Most of it sounds like a related cousin to his rejected score to "I Love Trouble". I could make a suite of it if anybody is interested.

I found this on the website of the composer mentioned:
Rod Abernethy is founder and creative director of Rednote Audio. Hiswork in video games began with a collaboration with veteran film com-poser Elmer Bernstein on the scores for the video game Wild Wild West,The Steel Assassin.
A couple videos on Youtube from the game suggest a synth computer game score, with an opening that might be orchestral.
But he also suggests on his site collaborations with other film composers on video games based upon films, including Debney, Zimmer, and Gregson-Williams.
I suspect some creative resume enchancement has occured. He probably used themes from the films and got blessing and maybe some info' from the compsoers on their scores, but that no real collaboration occured.

Bernstein's music for the Saul Bass-designed title sequence is on Youtube -

I know I have a lot more updating to do in this thread (especially to extend back to the 50s) but I figured I'd quickly pop in to remove this since Intrada just announced they are releasing it!
"Going Ape! -- Totally unreleased comedy score. Hemdale and Paramount are credited with the production, so probably an Intrada possibility but could be LLL or Kritzerland..."

I posted a seperate thread but forgot to post it here:
I've been slowly watching videos of the 1980's "Ripleys Believe it or Not!" series (a great show), with the mind to creat a full composer's listing, but also to find which episodes David Newman and Elmer Bernstein composed.
I have found one Bernstein did -- enjoy:

THE GOOD MOTHER (1988)
If memory serves, there was a promo cassette (quality metal tape, mind you) for this charming score way back when
put out by a New York City studio. Directed by the late Leonard Nimoy, by the way.
CAPTAINS AND THE KINGS (1976)
Let me chime in for my favorite unreleased Elmer Bernstein score.
This nine-part TV miniseries had an excellent, Emmy-nominated, Irish-flavored score.
"Irish-flavored" you say! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Ron Burbella
Many thanks Ron, wishing you a Happy Saint Patrick's Day too from Ireland! I'm still hoping that we may yet see a release of the lovely Elmer score for CAPTAINS AND THE KINGS (1976).

That sucks. It wasn't private at the time. You'll have to ask the user if he'll let you see it.

"I'm still marveling at the great news of the upcoming Intrada release of National Geographic Presents Yankee Sails To Europe. This is but one of many fine scores that Elmer Bernstein composed for documentary films back in the 60s and 70s. Apart from the David L Wolper productions which included the Oscar nominated Four Days in November (1965) other standout films included Alaska (1971) and The Last Days of John Dillinger (1971). However, one that I remember with fondness was The Wolfmen (1969) an Irwin Rosten MGM production, narrated by James Coburn which was also Oscar nominated in the Field Of Best Documentary Film for that year"

It's geting on for twelve years now since I posted the above message, with nary a mention from any of the labels about the possibility of a release of any of those wonderful, short TV scores by Elmer. It's a pity as they contain some prime Bernstein music. But I haven't given up hope yet!

Absolutely! I just graduated with my BA today -- over the summer I'll find the time to expand this to Bernstein's full career. Thanks for the reminder!
