Thanks for this! I tried to download and it asked for an decryption key, and i didn’t see one. Did i miss it?

Thanks for this, but what’s the decryption key for the download?

It should work now!

javigoca’s link seems to be got a little bit screwed up… this works:

As for the score, well, it’s one of Scott’s finest… and I absolutely share your sadness at the almost absolute death of the traditional adventure score.

I just can’t remember the last time I left a cinema whistling the melodies within the film, like all we did in Willow or Indiana films

Thank you

Couldn’t agree more… These are hard times for craftmanship…

Thanks Javigoca!

Thanks javigoca 🙂

There is an interview with John Scott where he precisely talks about the music in the adventure films and of this one in particular.

BS: Shogun Mayeda (1992) gave you the opportunity to write an epic action adventure set against 17th Century Japan. Besides the rousing orchestrations, typical of the swashbuckling genre, the score does also take advantage of the variety of locations (the film does partly take place in Spain and in Morocco) to introduce a few ethnic elements. The case of Spain a straightforward example. The funny thing is that you somehow decided go along the lines of the musical style used in some of the Hollywood epics of the 30s and 40s. Why did you choose to do so?

JS: The film was stylized and, in a sense, called for the swashbuckling approach of the old swashbuckling films. I find this genre to be very entertaining. Also, so much of this film was "tongue in cheek", it could not be taken seriously. I had a great deal of fun on this film and loved having to deal with the different aspects. As you say, the Japanese ceremonial, the seascapes, the Moorish elements, the romance.

It’s an excerpt of a long interview where he makes a retrospective of his career. The interview comes in two parts:

I just ran across the existence of this score by accident; had never heard of it before, despite actively searching for all swashbuckling film music I can find.
Thanks for posting! 😀

Thanks for this. Having never heard one note of this score before, it’s going to be exciting on first listen. Films with nautical themes make for good music.

Much appreciated
