Whew...a busy couple weeks.Our friends Brian and Laura came to visit for a few days and we had a good old time. we went hiking, to the ocean, to the cheese factory, downtown, and too many restaurants to not feel a little ashamed.
i am busy getting school things lined up (which is a mind melter.)
my dad is doing better, and all three assailants have been caught and are now trying not to drop soap.
mikey the pikey gave a challenge to chose the top ten picks of cues/tracks from movie scores...so here are mine. you must remember though that i don't have a gargantuan library, nor do i have a very trained ear. but out of what i do have, these are the songs i could listen to over and over again...in the order they appear in my iTunes:
1. Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis - Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World (Ralph Vaughn Williams)
2. Castle on the hill - Edward Scissorhands (Danny Elfman)
3. The battle - Gladiator (Hans Zimmer) its like the best of 19 different (media ventures) movies.
4. The gravel road - The Village (James Newton Howard)
5. Khazad-Dum - Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the ring (Howard Shore)
6. Rachel's Party - Paycheck (John Powell)
7. Buckbeak's Flight - Harry Potter & the prisoner of Azkaban (John Williams)
8. End Credits - Munich (John Williams) for me its a recapitulation of my favorite themes.
9. The arrival at Tatooine and the flag parade - Star Wars I (John Williams)
10. The Baudelaire orphans - Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events (Thomas Newman)
any questions?

Questions, hmm...yes...eraborate prease!!!
Not to be a stickler, but the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis was actually written by Ralph Vaughan Williams. It's a great piece, but not Chris Gordon's.
sorry.
can i still use it?
Absolutely! It's a great piece. I'm just saying you need to make sure you give credit where it's due. And since Vaughan Williams did write several film scores I certainly am not opposed. You should DEFINITELY check out his (Vaughan Williams') 7th symphony (Sinfonia Antarctica) because it's based on his film score for the film Scott of the Antarctic. I think you would like it. I recommend the Adrian Boult recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra from the 1960s.
TRES cool.
fixed.
