Woah, I never knew this got an actual promo release. I thought he just released the tracks through his website. The more you know.

Ooooo I Have Goosebumps! Thanks Nick!

Very interesting. Thanks again Nick.

Well I understand Yared may have given some CDs out to fans, but I'm pretty sure most any "promo" you come across is just from some European bootleggers. That's not to say that they aren't worth having (it's great music!), just that no CD of Yared's score is legitimate, since the rights holders (Warner Bros.) will never release it.

Great post by the way! More score fans should know about this one.

My first time listening to it; you're right, it's great! Even more fun to listen to considering its interesting history.

Yea, no promo has or ever will be released. I emailed Yared once and of that alone he assured me: the score it under tight lock and key along with any hope of his continued American career.

But this is an AMAZING score. I don't listen or recommend listening to the final track which is from James Horner. The set is otherwise perfect.

The movie is pretty well done too although I'm a bit disappointed in the American squeamishness of representing Achilles and Petroclus relationship more in line with the traditional interpretation... but I digress...

This is very clearly true lossless; were the tracks on his website lossless files? Because otherwise then I'm not sure how these tracks would surface in this quality.

The tracks have been around in lossless. I can only surmise that he released them that way because they are the same tracks he released and the only tracks available.

Looks interesting. Thank you for sharing.

You mean an American portrayal of real-life historical figures is not accurate? You don't say?

*starts belting out*

"And I'm proud to be an American. Where at least I know I'm free" :p

Nah, I remember downloading them, burning to disc, the whole shebang. Most of the songs weren't complete like this promo either. The quality was maybe 96 or 128, at least when I compare the first burned disc I had with this one. Like others said I think it was a promo 'leak' that occurred in Europe, possibly from a promo Yared gave to someone. He was really sore about his score rejected back in 2004 - at least it seemed that way looking back on it. Maybe I'll drag that old disc out and see if anything doesn't match, but I know this promo is far superior to those tracks.

Thanks for sharing the FLAC! I don't even how many copies I have of this on multiple drives...

Thanks

ENJOY!!!

Thanks!

Thank you Nick!

This is a marvelous score and a remarkable departure for Yared. How the Flac version was released and found its way to the Internet is of no concern. Warner Bros. feels the need to punish Yared and his music... his music that was far better than the quickie Horner score. What was truly abominable was Horner relating in an interview that Yared was an inferior composer who didn't know what he was doing. This from a composer notorious for his 'lifting from others' proclivities. The music was used as a scapegoat for a dreadful film. Nothing could have made that movie remotely good. This could have been the Yared music that launched him into new directions. There is a documentary featuring commentary by the late Anthony Minghella who states Yared's biggest frustration with film music was the lack of time afforded to create it. He also was very frustrated after his Oscar for The English Patient that was cause for jobs to score the music for sappy romantic films... most were the guy dies at the end. Yared was right to be upset with Warner Bros. Sadly almost every composer has suffered their score being bumped for one reason or another and replaced. Look at Goldsmith's career. This however was a case where something new might have blossomed for this man's musical career.

Happily, the music is just dandy.

_________________________________________

Horner's Troy:

The music critic Alex Ross claims that large portions of the score were essentially plagiarized from works by Shostakovich and Prokofiev; one instance cited by Ross, fanfares from Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, has been explicitly recognised by another critic as an "exact copy" by Horner

(it is nice to know that Horner listened to LOTS of classical music)

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! GABRIEL IS A ''REAL'' MUSICIAN!!!....rest in peace James....

... might I suggest a wooden stake?

Thank you.

And this rejected score is only remembered by sad people like yourself who are just as guilty of attacking and bashing others as you claimed Horner did, using that same old 2004 article by a guy no one has ever recognized for anything aside from that one diatribe about Troy to make a name for himself among people like you and that's pretty much it.

Quite the "lovely person" you are indeed. Might I suggest you use that wooden stake on yourself..."in your heart"?

Thanks Nick. Awesome music; shameful moment in Hollywood behaviour.

Horner's gratuitous and petulant attack on Yared appalled me at the time, but what makes me smile wryly is how, after saying how completely wrong Yared's music was, he produced tracks that were near-copies of their predecessors, even to the extent of using the same instruments and soloists. I find Horner's score mostly sonic mush, and it was only after I heard Yared's version that I realised the parts of the film where I felt the score actually worked to support what was on-screen -- as opposed to merely filling the aural space -- were the cues where Horner had essentially mimicked Yared's original work.

I once wrote to Yared, thanking him for his score (and saying I thought the real failure was in the studio's lack of courage) and telling him how much pleasure the score gave me even as music for its own sake; his reply was incredibly modest, kind and friendly, but he was clearly still burnt by the experience. He seemed most shocked, to my perception, that a work of artistic expression could be treated as a faulty product and just locked away forever. His comment to me was that this "leaked" version of the score was from the source tracks prepared by the studio as recording sessions were completed -- he never got to finish all the sessions, so there are still cues missing that were never recorded -- in preparation for a "for your consideration"-style promo CD. He said that he and Petersen had been very happy with the tone and style he had achieved, but the publicity department saw the film very differently in terms of target market, agitated the producers and then produced a focus group that validated their point of view; up until then, the studio had told him they thought they were on a real winner, and that his score would really differentiate their film. Gabriel told me that, for obvious reasons, he could express no opinion on how the recordings got into the hands of fans, but that in many ways he was happy if people could hear his music and find enjoyment in it.

Thanks for the share.

I haven't watched the film nor heard Horner's music. I've also never heard a Gabriel Yared score. I think I'll start with this one :laugh:

So sad to aknowledge this behind the scenes story! :(

Hope I'll enjoy his score, too.
So, die hard film score fans like us can actually write to film composers and talk to them about their leaked music that we listen (and appreciate)? o.O
I got a bit confused... It would be a dream if we could contact all of our favourite composers and have great conversations! :D

Yeah, why not? ;-)

On this occasion, I'm not sure why, but I felt moved to express support for Yared because I truly appreciated his score for this. (And it's not my business, but I felt a bit disgusted at how he'd been treated.) Not something I've done often, though. Only other time was with Bruce Smeaton, the Aussie composer, because I love his music for the Fred Schepisi film "The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith", and there's not a decent version of it on disc anywhere that I could find. He didn't know of one either, sadly, but he was very friendly, and appreciated my fondness for his music in general, and we had a lovely chat. Not everyone would have the time or inclination to reply though, I suspect.

Wow.
I'd really love to talk with them, or maybe meet them, dine together and talk for hours... That would be incredibly good for us all: they'd know that we truly respect them (though we "steal" their work) and we'd know them by person and how they feel about us...
That'd be so good :D

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One question: in the past, the End Title song, while being available as a FLAC file, always seemed to have lesser sound-quality than the preceding score tracks. Does anybody know why that may be or if this set of cues has all tracks in lossless? Thanks!

OK!
