Your ten favourite film scores? I know, I am stretching the boundaries of what constitutes 'classical music', but where else could I ask this question? In the latest edition of one of the professional music magazines here in the UK is a list of what one person considers his ten favourite film scores. Three of them are not actually original scores at all, but use music by classical composers. Two of these are film versions of operas and so I think should not have been included (it being a different genre of film-making, surely).My question: what are your favourite film scores (whether by accepted 'classical' composers or not)?The ten from the magazine (not necessarily in order of preference as far as I can tell):King Kong (1933) - Max SteinerPsycho (1960) - Bernard HerrmannBatman (1989) - Danny ElfmanThe Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) - Ennio MorriconeOn the Waterfront (1954) - Leonard BernsteinThe Shawshank Redemption (1994) - Thomas Newman (with a tiny bit of help from WA Mozart)Brief Encounter (1945) - Sergei RakhmaninovA Clockwork Orange (1971) - Various (see below)The Magic Flute (1975 Ingmar Bergman film) - WA MozartCarmen (1984 Francesco Rossi film) - Georges BizetA Clockwork Orange:The Funeral of Queen Mary - Henry Purcell/Walter (now Wendy) CarlosThe Thieving Magpie - RossiniTheme from A Clockwork Orange (Beethoviana) - Walter (now Wendy) CarlosSymphony No 9 (Scherzo and Finale) - Beethoven (with some arrangements by Walter (now Wendy) Carlos and Rachel Elkind)William Tell Overture - Rossini/Walter (now Wendy) CarlosPomp and Circumstance Marches Nos 1 and 4 - ElgarTimesteps - Walter (now Wendy) CarlosOverture to the Sun - Terry TuckerI Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper" - Erika Eigen Singin' in the Rain - Nacio Herb Brown/Arthur Freed, sung by Gene KellyLet's hope this question doesn't get deleted like my last one for not being 'question'-y enough!Nick:Do you mean the original 1998 Japanese film 'Ring' with music by Kenji Kanawa, or the rather poor Hollywood remake with Hans Zimmer's music?i.jones:Not my choices, but those of the author in the music magazine I refer to. Haven't had time to think-up mine yet!
Pan's LabyrinthHeroCrouching Tiger, Hidden DragonCorpse BrideEdward ScissorhandsThe Harry Potter seriesThe Ring (Both versions)Memoirs of a GeishaPsychoThe Godfather
I didn't think of it my own, but I agree with you about Clockwork Orange(Thanks to you, I'll have "I want to marry a lighthouse keeperAnd keep him companyI want to marry a lighthouse keeperAnd live by the side of the seaI'll polish his lamps by the light of daySo ships at night can find their wayI want to marry a lighthouse keeperWon't that be okay?"stuck in my head all day.)... and a shout-out to Raiders of the Lost Ark -- home of my namesake.==Edit, I'll add me another fewThe Mission (though a bit tediously long) -- E. MorriconeThe Abominable Dr. Phibes -- Basil Kirchin and others including: "War March of the Priests" (Mendelssohn), "Darktown Strutters' Ball" (Shelton Brooks) and "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" (Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen)
My favorite film score by a quote--classical--unquote composer is Alexander Nevsky by Prokofieff.Second would probably be The Red Pony by Aaron Copland.I'm surprised that the list included The Good, The Bad, and They Ugly by Ennio Morricone but not the other two great spaghetti Westerns.I agree with Nick that the Harry Potter music is nice. As I have indicated in reply to earlier questions, John Williams borrows ideas from earlier composers,but he does so with good effect.The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is nice.The theme song is ingenious in that the intervals are complex until the last phrase, where the intervals are more simple.It is more common for the last phrase to be more complex in some way.How about the famous guitar solo in Les Jeux Interdits (Forbidden Games).Tchaikovsky often gets praised for the second movement of his Fourth Symphony, in which he writes a lovely melody on straight eighth notes.The same can be said for this melody, which is straight quarter notes in 3/4 time.
Top of my list:Lifeboat - Directed by Hitchcock - film score by Hugo FriedhoferThe use of music in this film epitomizes the restraint I think most directors need in their use of film music. Film music should enhance and aid in telling the story, but not be a crutch to save a poorly written or acted momentSolaris - (1972) directed by Tarkovsky - Original Music by Eduard ArtemievAlso fantastic use of Bach throughout. You could understand the film from only the images and the music without any of the dialog.Pi - Directed by Darren Aaronofsky - film score by Clint MansellI must say I preferred his style on this film to what he would do later on. The selectivity of when he used sound made its effect that much more powerful when it came in.Eraserhead - directed by David Lynch - Soundtrack by David Lynch and Alan SpletMullholland Drive - directed by David Lynch - Score by Angelo Badalamenti On the Waterfront - Score by Lenny BernsteinBrother from another planet - score by Martin Brody and Mason Daring. This ones definitely not classical and there are a few 80s pop songs that have fallen out of style, but otherwise a very enjoyable experience.Un Chien Andalou - Music by Luis Buñue and a bit of Wagner spliced in there.
To kill a Mockingbird- Elmer BernsteinQuigley Down Under-Basil PoledourisMagnificent Seven-Elmer BernsteinZulu- John BarryDr. Zhivago- Maurice JarreRed Pony- ProkofievSunday in New York-Peter NeroHelp-BeatlesThe Man with the Golden Arm-Elmer BernsteinAnything by Aaron Copland
The Lord of the Rings theme tuneThe Eternal Vow from Crouching Tiger, Hidden DragonThe main theme from Schindler's ListThe Magic FluteI'm not sure what else but those are definitely my top 4 in order from the favourite downwards.
1. Amadeus2. Amadeus3. Amadeus4. Amadeus5. Amadeus6. Amadeus7. Amadeus8. Amadeus9. Amadeus10. AmadeusOther than that, I like Jerry Goldsmith's score for the 1992 movie "Rudy", and Dario Marienelli's score for the Keira Knightley version of "Pride and Prejudice".
This was somewhat difficult.. I could agree with Psycho, On the Waterfront and of course A Clockwork Orange but I would substitute the latter forThe Shining (1980) of course not really a score as such, Tarantino works the same wonders of arrangement with Pulp Fiction (1994) obviously not classical in the least mind but definitely a favourite.I don't know what the rules be ?City Lights (1931) magical, I'm a big Chaplin fan ( :Morricone's Once Upon a Time in America (1984) andBernard Hermann's score to Taxi Driver (1976) are probably my two favourite scores.The Thin Red Line (1998),Schindler's List (1993),Mulholland Drive (2001),Alien (1979).I really can't decide on a 10th.
Good question, Del - it's a challenge to come up with some films no-one else has thought of yet. But a brain-stretching exercise is grand way to start the day!My first instinct is to list some of my favourite "composer" films such as "Farinelli," "Tous les Matins du Monde" and "Le Roi Danse" - but instead, I've got a few Australian films that incorporate some classical music in their soundtracks:1. "Travelling North" (Vivaldi's e minor bassoon concerto recurs throughout this film.)2. "Last Days of Chez Nous" (Bach harpsichord concerto)3. "Shine" (the story of autistic pianist David Helfgott)4. "Passion" (the story of Percy Grainger, focusing primarily on his somewhat unorthodox sexuality)5. "Gross Misconduct" (arias from Puccini's operas)6. And there's a disturbing New Zealand film "Heavenly Creatures" which incorporates some of Mario Lanza's original operatic recordings.7. Talking of Puccini, how can we forget Glenn Close slitting her wrists to "Madama Butterfly" in "Fatal Attraction?" I'll add more as I think of them.Hafwen x
Of those not mentioned here, I want to include one I love listening to: the score from Somewhere in Time composed by John Barry.In particular, the theme from the movie performed by Roger Williams -- such a beautiful piece -- the eighteenth variation of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini : youtube.com/watch?v=rf8C_fkEXqQ~
Okay, I'll bite. I like movies too. My favorite film scores (no particular order)--or at least ones that seem to be iconic and memorableThe Magnificent Seven--Elmer Bernstein (also his theme for The Great Escape)Bridge on the River Kwai--Malcolm Arnold (who adapted "Colonel Bogey March" by F.J. Ricketts (under Kenneth Alford)Lawrence of Arabia--Maurice JarrePsycho-Bernard HermannThe Mission--Ennio MorriconeThe Godfather--Nino Rota (who also scored Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet) Goldfinger--James Barry--who gets a special "shoutout" for all his other James Bond themesBreakfast at Tiffany's--Henry ManciniThe Pink Panther--Henry ManciniStar Wars--John WilliamsI realized I really kind of have about 12 there, but I could have listed even more memorable themes that have entered pop culture. A special honorable mention should go to "2001: A Space Odyssey" for its use of Richard Strauss's "And Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (Also Sprach Zarathustra)youtube.com/watch?v=cWnmCu3U09w&feature=related
