We all have our favorite film composers who have done loads of scores, some in the hundreds, But what about when you come upon a score you really like from a composer who spend fleeting time in the film industry, Tonight two films a few people love is on the board WHEN THE WHALES CAME- CHRISTOPHER GUNNING- WINDWALKER- MERRILL JENSEN-Do you have some scores you love or like from such composers?
MOON ZERO TWO - Don Ellis - Wonderfully jazzy score for space adventure - Frontier style.
Ellis wrote a score that, while relying on various jazz devices, still manages to capture the vasteness, eerieness and even the haunting beauty of space. High times for a CD release.
LADYHAWKE-83- ANDREW POWELL- Rock artist who came up with a very enjoyable score with this epic.
In my opnion one of the biggest mistake on film music, this inadequate music spoils the movie.
Everybody pisses on Ladyhawke. It's different for the genre and I like it. As to the question at hand, you gotta go with Copland and The Heiress and Of Mice and Men.
Not sure Leonard Bernstein was especially suited for films. Monster work in On the Waterfront, but the score IS a little busy at times.
Anatomy of a Murder is another. Would have liked to hear Ellington develop as a film composer during the 60s. Never saw that Sinatra picture he did.
Ogniem I Mieczem by Kresimir Debski Jaccquou Le Croquant by Laurent Boutonnat Marie De Nazareth by Olivier Lliboutri Le Batard De Dieu by Germinal Tenas
I'd never heard of them and took a chance and glad I did
