Sneaking with Jerry ...

Once again i needed to sneak in other people's compositions for a project

As I am quite pleased with the arrangement, i want to share with you (who's on orchestral!) !

Jerry Goldsmith's main theme of Air Force One

It's not taken from the VSL site. I have arranged the full version from the original score while they did not

Have fun !

Ahh ! Goldsmith , that man is a GOD to my ears

Air Force One is a very good score , you'd done Great job there Markus

Seems like your Orchestral ability just keeps Growing & Growing

How about doing the theme to "Powder" also by Goldsmith.
It's a Beautiful piece of music , but it's a little too short

Perhaps you could do me an extended version ????

I enjoyed the clip , Thanks

Glyn ...

Heho Glyn !

Powder is one of my favourites from Jerry Goldsmith.
A very beatiful, sad theme. The version on "The Omen Compilation(Prague Philharmonic Orchestra)" lasts 04:32.
Wonderful Tenor Trombone (love this instrument) in the melody and some very nice bells work.

As i do not have the original score yet... the chances may not be high

But you get the new version of Butcher Hill (XXXXXXXXXXXXX - EDITED DUE TO HEAVY MISINTERPRETATIONS) , if my broadband hopefully lives up again today ! This will probably let your heart beat much faster

Hi Markus ,
I'll look forward to the Butcher Hill Buddy

Just been listening to " Signs " by James Newton Howard .
He uses a 3 note Motif throughout the score , the variations he uses is pretty amazing !
You should give it a listen , it's Good !

I think Goldsmith relies too much on his synths these days. His scores for Alien and the first two Star Trek movies make my hair stand on end, but Star Trek: Nemesis was awful. Unlike His early work, the emotion of the music seems to be lost in a barrage of klangy, swishy computer noises.

But he's still good. I would happily watch a movie for the sole reason of hearing his score.

Goldsmith's been using Synths in his works for quite some time now .
The earliest i can remember is " Rambo - 1st Blood Pt 2 " back in 80's , 1985 i think .
Another great score

I've not heard this Nemesis though , but i'll take your word for it

I just listened to TOL, Glyn. Pretty amazing. The master comes again out with extra dynamic arrangements and extraordinary sound combinations.
(although i would let the tune end at 04:54)

As I haven't slept for 34 hours, i better listen to BHill again tomorrow and then I'llprobably overwork it because it will sound different :

Grettings to Gayle, she answered me yesterday while you were out with the dog

Hi Markus ,
Glad you liked the Times Of Lore tune

Yeah , i'd liked to of ended it at 04:54 , but with the earlier tunes being the way they are , i thought it best to add a kinda Celebration theme to finnish it off.
I just had to use the Times Of Lore Fanfare

Though it still needs re-working , i'm just real glad we have these extra 2 weeks to tweak things up

On an aside note..

I personally think that Goldsmiths score to "Star Trek:The Motion Picture" is one of the best movie soundtracks ever, certainly the best Sci-Fi score IMHO.

The use of the "space-beam" instrument is just stunning. I made a soundfont from that particular sound a couple of years ago

I actually like the ending, tho i admit glyn is patching things up here and there, but i loved the way it came full circle and ended in a fan fare. A really clever and well thought out track!

Ohh, by far, of course I DO like the part itself pretty much. It's splendid orchestration. At a first listen I just thought the style fits better standalone, you know
