The next release for Neumation Music is James Horner’s magnificent score to KRULL. Pre-orders are open now and the book is available WORLDWIDE.
Fresh off of Star Trek 2 in late 1982, Horner was assigned to Peter Yates’ sci-fi epic. If Star Trek put him on the path to A-list composer, Krull propelled him to stand among the best. While the film isn’t a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, Horner’s music has rightfully earned its reputation as one of his best works. The orchestrations are incredibly intricate and challenging—reminiscent of the massive opera and tone-poem scores of Richard Strauss.
We are very happy to present one of Horner’s greatest achievements in study score format.
The book features an exclusive forward written by KRULL producer Ron Silverman!
Disappointing that Poltergeist won't be next but still happy for Krull.
Will wait for Krull to be out so I can order it and Day the Earth Stood Still at the same time. Those shipping rates and Australian exchange rate are not friends to us buyers down under.
And can you tell us what's happening with Poltergeist please? Is it now never going to be published, or just postponed to make way for Krull?
AMAZING news!!! Was just revisiting this score recently, an all-time favorite! Astonishingly complex, all the more amazing being written by a man not even 30 years old with just a few major films to his credit.
Hopefully this is out soon and Poltergeist won't be far behind!

Poltergeist is off our release calendar, but it will be coming elsewhere.

Horner was 29 when he finished Krull in January of 1983. Incredible. There are hints of Star Trek and bits that would be developed in others scores, but much of his music for Krull was entirely original and would never be "borrowed." It's as close to a masterpiece as it gets.

I think it is probably his best score, composed when he was full of ideas, and had not had time to start his robust borrowing habits
The last Lalaland Records edition isn't already complete?
Not a CD...a book, I gather.
Yes. It's the sheet music to the film score (ahem: the score to the score) printed and bound in a paperback book. It's not the music reduced to just piano music but all the orchestra parts (commonly known as "full score", "open score", or "partitura").

Conductor's score perhaps?
It can be a conductor's score but technically - or pedantically - conductor's scores can come in either versions of "reduced" score (aka "piano conductor") or "full" score.
In a reduced score the individual orchestra parts are combined and compressed into 2 or 4 staves, like a piano part, but write in throughout the reduction which instrumental groups or soloist are playing at that point. The reduced score won't show how the individual parts have been allocated to play what of the group of notes shown, merely that the group (e.g. strings) is playing that section.

And full conductor's scores tend to be much bigger as well.
