If we're still bandying our favorite Williams pieces, I'll throw in a few tracks from a "minor" Spielberg film: Empire of the Sun Cadillac of the Skies: the scene from the film (almost never fails to give me chills) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ouJ_WyS9v8 and from the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXXWnQFuR3I Imaginary Air Battle (this one rubs shoulders with "My Friend the Brachiosaurus", the ending sequence from CE3K and some tracks from Hook as the most whimsical pieces in John's output) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3vdF8DeNXI My favorite John Williams score is probably Close Encounters (so motivically tiiiiighhht), but there are so many highlights in his career that I would be helpless if asked to choose a definitive "top 3-5-10-whatever" list.

I have a fairly low opinion of Horner for his blatant thieveries (and over-repetition: "DANGER" four note motif on the trumpet), but the scores for Krull and Willow are just so goddamned good. I can put one of those movies in the background and just listen to the dialogue and music and be entertained. It's because I like awkward fantasy schlock and Horner knows how to write bitchen action cues. Bonus points for interesting creepy track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZWwK65fyHo Mahler fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Jun 13, 2013 |

DNS posted:What do you guys think about Jerry Fielding? I'm watching The Gambler (starring James Caan) on TV right now and the score is really striking. I guess a lot of it was based off Mahler, so that could be why: Listening to 3 or 4 tracks, it's almost all straight-up Mahler 1 (a few edits here and there). Not much of an original score, I guess.

coffeetable posted:Stumbled across Zimmer's finale to The Lone Ranger today, and while it's not particularly original or creative, it's an absolute masterclass in mutating the themes of another piece of music (in this case, the William Tell Overture): It was Geoff Zanelli who did the arrangement for that track.
