I emailed him couple months ago to inquire if he had a certain 1970s soundtrack. I think he'd prefer to be recognized for his more recent scores, but maybe he wouldnt mind the retroactive compliment.
More recent scores? I thought the 70s/80s stuff was it! Apart from the fact he should still be out there adding grace to the world, what was his last recorded work? My last Shire CD was the Kritzerland compilation. It, and Grusin's all piano accompaniment to The Firm are pretty much hard 'wants' right now.
With The Conversation, David Shire composed one of the great masterworks of cinema music.

Whatever you do, don't tell him I much prefer his 1970s work.

If you look under his Composer credits on imdb, he scored a movie in 2015 and 2016. I dont think any artist wants to feel like their best years are behind them, especially if they're still working. If you only talk to him about his 1970s music, he might feel like his current work is being ignored. It's been 40 years - he might even feel like a different person from the one who scored in the 1970s.

Why would I mention you at all? I only contacted him about a certain 1970s soundtrack (google to get his contact info) and am not in touch with him in general. I was mainly trying to say he's still around, and it might be nice to drop him an email of praise. He did say he liked the soundtrack I was looking for, so I'm sure he wouldnt mind. But I would try to phrase it to not dis all his later work.

Because you're a psycho who pesters film composers via email?
Can anyone identify the source music used in this film? Obviously more than one version of "Red Red Robin" appear. Who did them? How about other source music? Is anything listed in the credits?
Considering the complaints that labels have received on this for things like the Nimoy VO at the end of STII, I submit that Intrada erred on the conservative side to only included the music Shire wrote on this musical soundtrack album.
The song was probably a further rights issue/expense. I submit the dialog tracks would be too.
I also wonder if Shire had anything at all to do with "Red Red Robin." Certainly, the dialogue bits were the handiwork of Walter Murch. Why would David Shire want that on an album of his work?
LOL, aside from that, I expanded my message so please re-read my post.
