Yeah that's a shame; I wonder why Intrada didn't include the alternate version as a bonus. Anyhow, I'm sure James would record any significant alternates as he always does!

This is now my #1 Goldsmith want, now that The Shadow was released complete this past year. In fact QB VII in complete form might end up being my favorite Goldsmith album, ever. Here's hoping it's next on the list of the Tadlow/Prometheus complete Goldsmith series...

So awesome to see the promise of this thread brought to fruition, exactly a year after my last post in it! Thanks to mckissid59 for starting the thread that eventually prompted the new recording, and thanks again to everyone at Tadlow and Prometheus.

It's funny to me how when Goldsmith got the assignment for The Omen, he said to the director "I hear voices" when asked what he had in mind. Upon reflection Goldsmith said "what did I get myself into!". Yet for Q.B VII he had already done some vocal writing (abstract, speaking, and singing) very effectively. Was Q.B. VII the first ever Goldsmith score with choir?

Probably Fate Is the Hunter...though it's a totally different sort of Choir...

Other than that I think you're right...only solo vocal writing (ie. The Illustrated Man) before on his part.

So that makes this complete release even more important and monumental in my book...

also his cantata composed around late 60s/early 70s (if I remember correctly) obviously featured lots of choir.

I heard the samples on S.A.E.'s website, and I think it's a winner!! Thanks Tadlow and Prometheus (not to mention Nic Raine and the City Of Preague Philharmonic Orchestra w/Chorus).

Oh yes, of course! I remember now. That cantata is bloody bizarre!

And come to think of it I think Robert Townsend stated that the theme for The Illustrated Man was written by Goldsmith when the was only 19 years old!

But like Yavar said, QB VII is the first "major" use of choir for a film.

I just wanted to make the point that there are perfectly valid discussions on the subject of the new release of Goldsmith's "QB-VII" and I can't understand why some members insist on starting new ones! My copy should be here tomorrow or Friday. Can't wait.

However, "Jadwiga Relived" is much different from the one on the original album.

Has anyone ever detailed the differences of the two "Jadwiga Relived" cues? How different is "much different"? Which version of the cue did Tadlow go with, since they clearly don't list an "alternate"?

The original albums for both QBVII and Masada were on labels both currently owned by Universal Music Group. I wonder if Intrada could produce a reissue of both of these great original Goldsmith-conducted albums, on a single CD as they did with the UMG-owned two original Flint album recordings. If they do, I would hope that they could premiere the alternate "Jadwiga Relived" LP cue as a bonus, on CD!

Also, I have seen repeated a number of times that the QBVII album was, like Masada, a unique recording and not taken from the film recording. But the recording info on the album says it was done in Rome, the same place the film recording was done. Can anyone confirm whether or not the QBVII album matches the film recording, or whether it was its own unique thing like a number of other Goldsmith scores, from the Flints all the way to Masada in the 80s?

"QB VII" has no less than four links to "Star Trek" - composer Jerry Goldsmith, actor Mark Lenard (who narrated the opening credits), producer Douglas S. Cramer, and orchestrator Alexander Courage (who comducted part of the score heard on the original soundtrack when Goldsmith took iill, and was performed by the Rome Symphony Orchestra, the same one used for Goldsmith's Oscar nominated sxore for "Papillon").
