The "Official" Christmas thread

Hello, Gang. I have decided to start this thread, since Christmas is only 10 days away, I will add a new Xmas score each day. I will be adding "The Bishops Wife", a very RARE score. I also have the extended score from "The Grinch" with a couple of Karaoke versions that I added. There are a number of other scores that I will add, each day until the 25th!

Enjoy, William

Okay, here is THE GRINCH!!

Enjoy, William

…. great idea… thanks!! BTW do you have, or even exists some promo or rare release of Christmas with the Kranks score??

No, I don’t have that one, but I will keep looking for it! Next up is "Jingle all the Way"!!!! 🙂

William

Awesome!!

Here’s "A Christmas Story" score:

And here’s the OFFICIAL CD release of all the Christmas songs from the "Home Alone" movies:

AND, as promised "Jingle all the way" (extended version, I think)

http://hotfile.com/dl/89871015/0a983e5/Jingle_All_The_Way_(1996)_(Score)_-_David_Newman.rar.html

ALSO: if anyone has the score from "Santa Claus: the Movie" which was kind of a musical, I would appreciate a download link. I had the score, but somehow misplaced it! 🙁

Many thanks, and please, enjoy!

William

Many, many thanks for The Bishop’s Wife. A fine Friedhofer score!

Today I will be adding "Babes in Toyland" , "Ernest saves Christmas", and "Fred Clause"! I will have to add three scores per day, just to get them all listed up here! I had more music that I had thought! 🙂

William

Would you be interested in the Star Wars Christmas album? I can upload it if you are.

Bell, Book & Candle is also a Christmas score…. the music on the DVD sounds better than any CD release.

DAMN!!! Those are TWO more scores that I totally forgot!! You guys just keep adding to my offtime work! 🙂

William

Okay, here are FOUR more:

William, Could you tell us what recording the Babes In Toyland is? Thanks much.

Would you be interested in the Star Wars Christmas album? I can upload it if you are.

please yes 🙂

William, I wonder if Blizzard by Mark McKenzie will show up in this thread anytime soon. It’s one of the best "Christmas" scores i’ve heard – www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRxpXNBxBBY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRxpXNBxBBY)

It’s already sold out from Intrada. If anyone wants the soundtrack, i can post it here.

Sounds good to me Sanico!

McKenzie’s score for Blizzard is very fine, as is his scores for the two Hallmark Hall of Fame films IN FROM THE NIGHT & SILVER BELLS. But a quality version of THE BISHOPS WIFE would be Nice. LION IN WINTER. THE LEMON DROP KID. COME TO THE STABLE. CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT. THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER. Addinsell’s SCROUGE. Few (if any) recent Christmas films capture the season as well as those old B & W efforts. Also, THE AVENGERS ep: TOO MANY CHRISTMAS TREES (a must see): Jeremy Brett’s SHERLOCK HOLMES eps: THE BLUE CARBUNCLE & THE CARDBOARD BOX.

OH. And a recent 1945 discover: A Christmas, murder mystery, comedy, musical: LADY ON A TRAIN with Deanna Durbin. A real charmer.

Did you not like the "Bishops Wife" edition that I posted above? I was under the impression that this was a recent release!

And I believe, if I am not mistaken, that "Babes in Toyland" is the Laurel and Hardy version!
William

Your Bishop’s Wife offering wasn’t even a 320 file… but then in general the recording bothers me since it has sound effects, not just the music. Great score, great Christmas film.

Thanks for posting this here, but I was trying to get all the soundtracks from different Christmas based movies, since this is the movie soundtrack forum. If we had to go with ALL Christmas music, I would have a avalance of music, starting with "Fresh aire Christmas", and winding up with every Elvis Christmas song (YUCK!)

And that "Bishop’s wife" is an official release, believe it or not! I thought that it sounded GREAT! I got it off of this board, about 6 or 7 months ago, so I am sorry if it was not FLAC or 320 for you, not my fault.

William

Thank you, grabbing several.

Just curious, but which release of It’s A Wonderful Life is this? I’m downloading it no matter what, but I’m secretly hoping it’s the Nick At Nite/Sony release, which is audio from the film edited to fit onto CD. But if it’s one of the various re-recordings of the score, I’ll be happy with that too. 😀

Here is the Star Wars "Christmas in the Stars" just for Lilu (Merry Christmas, sweetie!)

You know it’s that time of year again, and this is my gift to my fellow shriner friends, the soundtrack of Blizzard written by Mark McKenzie.
The music is wonderful and thematically varied, making it highly enjoyable to listen. The orchestrations are rich and colorful, capturing the spirit of Christmas but without falling into the typical clich�d sound territory of the season.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas 🙂

Thanks for posting this! Just a GREAT soundtrack!

William

Anyone know of any music from Scrooge / A Christmas Carol (1951) by Richard Addinsell?

Anyone have the soundtrack to Jim Henson’s The Christmas Toy? Can’t seem to find it anywhere.

I have not seen either of those two scores anywhere! But I will keep an eye out for them!

William

The Addinsell score for 1951 A Christmas Carol exists as a beautiful suite along with the dull Mockridge score for Miracle on 34th Street (original film) and also Tiomkin’s It’s A Wonderful Life (featuring music not used in the film). This is on a Telarc disc that is NLA. The first (and last) of the Sundance Institute Film Music Series that flopped. David Newman conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra along with the Ambrosian Singers. If I knew how to upload stuff, I’d do so. It is a must have recording.

Wuuuuuuh?…… I am so confused……. What the bloody blue blazes is this? A remake? Really, I want to know what version this came from. This sounds nothing like the Scrooge I know and love T___T Nah mate, nah….. Here take this. The REAL soundtrack to the 1970 Scrooge (much better imo). Right from the vinyl (it was never printed on cd). I can’t remember where I found this but all credit goes to the one who ripped it. It also has a couple bonus tracks on the end "London is London" from Goodbye Mr. Chips and "Main Titles" from Doctor Dolittle.

(I think these covers may have been fan made?)

Thanks for posting that! I had the album in the 70’s, but lost it to water damage in the floods of the 90’s!!! It is great to listen to those old original tracks again. I had to do a DVD rip of the extended music that was played for the film, with the extended dance scenes, that is why is sounds so different! but thanks again for posting this!

Yes, I found that a long time ago, an old link from the old hunt thread. I didn’t check so I hope that this link is still good!

It is for now…for how long is the question.

A pity it is a low quality MP3… but, "when the air is all there is to breathe" (from THE LION IN WINTER, another great X-mas film with a stunning John Barry score).

Does anybody have John Debneys complete or extended score for Elf? Its one of my favorites!

Anyone have any rare Rankin-Bass Christmas soundtracks? Also, does anyone have the 1966 Grinch tv soundtrack narrated by Boris Karloff (the version with the story entirely narrated by Karloff, but also includes the TV soundtrack score)? Thanks,

HR Pufnstuf

Anyone have any rare Rankin-Bass Christmas soundtracks?

Oh yeah, speaking of Rankin-Bass Christmas Soundtrack…Im also looking for the score to thier Frosty the Snowman special.

Well, I am totally sorry, my friends! I was completely mistaken on this "Scrooge" soundtrack! I had taken the tracks from the DVD, and made an extended score, adding the extended pieces from the film onto the CD soundtrack, very much like I had done with "The Music Man" soundtrack. This is NOT that one. This is a CD that I got, thinking that it was from the film, but as it turned out, it was from the STAGE PLAY, starring Anthony Newley as Scrooge! I ripped the CD at 320, but it came out with no track listings, so I thought that these were the OTHER tracks from Scrooge that I had done. My mistake. 🙁

I have the Scrooge LP with Albert Finney in the lead role, I posted it a few years ago on my personal Blog site.

Great stuff.

No matter how many times I look at this LP cover I see Johnny Carson not Albert
Finney kicking up his heels on the cover.

Well, it’s almost that time again, so I thought that I would reup this thread!

William

Tis’ the season again…HallowThanksMas?

Muy buenos soundtracks.

No, not ALL the links, and please take a look at the new Christmas thread as well, there are many new links there as well! 🙂
