LEGENDS OF THE FALL
Music Composed and Conducted by JAMES HORNER
INTRADA ISC 443
First and foremost, Intrada wants everyone to know that you and your families are all in our thoughts, hoping you stay safe and healthy through this trying time. May you find solace in the vast wealth of beautiful music in the universe, where we often turn to help sort through and understand our feelings.
And now back to our regular program...
Intrada's latest release from composer James Horner is one of his grandest works -- the 1994 western Legends of the Fall. Horner graced Legends of the Fall with no fewer than five broad, sweeping themes that recur throughout the picture, writing almost all of the score in the key of D major or related keys. The film was directed by Ed Zwick, with whom Horner previously collaborated on his magnificent score to Glory. After Zwick discussed the score and heard Horner's final product, Zwick commented, "All I can say is that somehow James managed to distill all these lofty conversations into a score that is at once brooding and lush, redolent of both love and loss, and that touches that secret place of awe I had experienced only once before—upon my first reading of Legends of the Fall." Not that the score isn't without its moments of action, including a brilliant moment where Horner lays down the theme for Tristan on strings and horns over a bed of propulsive rhythm. It all combines to create an epic score and one of Horner's finest.
While the original CD release was a generous presenation of Horner's score, this new presentation expands the program considerably, filling up two CDs, including 35 minutes of alternates.
The film tells of a two-generational saga—filled with loss and desire—involving Col. William Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins in the film), a renegade with a moral stripe; his distant wife, Isabel (Christina Pickles); their three sons: Alfred (Aidan Quinn), Tristan (Brad Pitt) and Samuel (Henry Thomas); and the woman who suffers the fate of loving all three of them, Susannah (Julia Ormond).

Such a great release, so ordered, thank you Intrada!
I wonder if the shakuhachi overlay for the final bear attack will be in the film edit of "Alfred, Tristan, The Colonel, The Legend". If not, we'll still have it on the DVD's isolated score.
Funny how tracks 12 and 16 on disc 1 have different track titles in the artwork. I prefer the artwork titles.

How long do CDs stick around now, at the labels, before they require more copies to be pressed?
I want this, but I like to bunch my orders into 5-7 titles to maximise the postage costs.
And with quite a few recent orders stuck wherever at the moment (including an Intrada one with some Williams, Goldsmith, Bernstein, Elfman, Rosenthal, Pope & Junk), I'm loathe to add another, smaller order to that mix.
It's unfair to ask Intrada to set a copy aside for me while I wait to build an order, cos I appreciate they need to sell as many copies as they can, as quickly as they can. Especially in these lean and demanding times.
Oh dear, all these first world problems are such a bind

I doubt Intrada would reveal how many they've pressed, but you might want to reach out and see if they have any suggestions for you.
