Among them are mostly rare gems, you‘ll find nowhere else. The majority is from television movies, series, or animations, I‘d watched in my childhood and found the music to be especially memorable or just for the sake of reminiscence of good ol‘ days 🙂 Genres vary between fantasy, fairytale or children series, while the composer lineage ranges from all over the world – an multicultural experience so to say!
Some of the artists here you may have heard from, others may be new to you – discovering new musical paths is always a great deal of excitement and joy, if you ask me! So please check them out and enjoy 🙂
The thread will be updated from time to time to add more soundtracks, so stay tuned and check it out!
The following index is a list of some of my favorite composers, which I want you to know a little more about, because some soundtracks are real gems, in my opinion. The soundtrack titles lead to their respective thread, where you will find any information about the title, you want to know. Have fun!
If you’re interested in any of these soundtracks, please leave a request in the respective thread. Thank you!

• Cannon Movie Tales: Hansel and Gretel (1987), which features music from the popular 1893 opera "Hansel and Gretel" by Engelbert Humperdinck, adapted by Frank Barber with songs adapted by Michael Cohen.
Even stars David Warner (Star Trek, Titanic) and Cloris Leachman (The Mary Tyler Moore Show) got each a song to sing, and they did a very good job with that (especially Leachman, who obviously had fun playing the wicked character of the Witch Grizelda).
Expect more movie tales soon, including Sleeping Beauty, Rumpelstiltskin, Beauty and the Beast and more.
Enjoy!
• Arik Rudich’s two highly popular, but rare Vinyl releases "Sattalla" and "Mantra" from 1981 and 1987. Rudich worked for a number of television documentaries, films and also as house musician from his own studio in Israel.

• Cannon Movie Tales: Beauty and the Beast (1987), a musical adaption of Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve’s 1740 novel La Belle et la B�te, which stars Rebecca De Mornay as Beauty and John Savage as Beast. Music and Song Lyrics are by Lori McKelvey, a rather unknown composer to most of us. Neverless, her contributions work excellently in the context. The orchestrations are well done and the songs are catchy enough to sing along.
Especially the Alan Menken-esque "If You See With Your Heart" is nicely done.
Enjoy!
• Cannon Movie Tales: Rumpelstiltskin (1987). The film featured Billy Barty in his only lead role (as the title character), and also starred Steven Spielbergs ex-wife Amy Irving (as Katie, the miller’s daughter) and Clive Revill as the villainous King Mezzer (originally Trevor Howard was cast for the role). Amy Irving’s brother, David Irving (not the British author of the same name), scripted and directed, while their mother, actress Priscilla Pointer, portrayed the wicked Queen Grizelda. Pointer’s husband and Irving’s stepfather Robert Symonds plays the miller Victor in this family production.
Cannon Films screened Rumpelstiltskin as the opening night attraction of its "family film festival" at 1987’s Cannes Film Festival. It was the first Cannon Movie Tale released in the U.S.; though originally scheduled for November 21, 1986, it premiered in April 1987.

(a last minute replacement for the original cast of Page Hannah). The film also stars the award-winning actress Sylvia Miles (Farewell, My Lovely), excellently cast as the horrifying Red Fairy, The American Rock Band Go-Go’s guitarist Jane Wiedlin as White Fairy, and also Kenny Baker, the one and only R2-D2 from the original Star Wars saga.
Musically, it features a synthesizer score by Joe Glasman with songs by writer Michael Berz (Cannon Movie Tales: Snow White). It also incorporates a variation of the classic waltz from Tchaikovsky’s "The Sleeping Beauty" ballet. Popular songs are "All to Sleep" and "Slumber", contributed by Max Robert (Cannon Movie Tales: Rumpelstiltskin).

Nelson (Poltergeist, Coach) in a double role as evil lord Godrey and its twin brother Percival, Jean’s husband and last but not least Rocco Sisto (Donnie Brasco) as Dagger, the wolf.
Music & Songs are contributed by Stephen J. Lawrence, an award-winning composer, who worked on songs for Sesame Street as well as Cannon Movie Tales: The Emperor’s New Clothes, along with lyricist Michael Korie. Compared to the rest of the films, Red Riding Hood features a more modern twist of songs, like the jazzy "Lost in the Woods", or the electronic and catchy "Man Without a Heart" with its beats and vocoders.
Enjoy!
• Cannon Movie Tales: The Emperor’s New Clothes (1988), a comedy-based variation of Hans Christian Andersen’s popular fairytale. Directed by David Irving (also director of Rumpelstiltskin and Sleeping Beauty), the film stars award-winning comedy actor Sid Caesar (Your Show of Shows, Caesar’s Hour) as the Emperor, Clive Revill (Rumpelstiltskin) as the Prime Minister and Julian Joy Chagrin (Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood) as the Duke, as the Emperor’s comedy sidekicks, as well as Robert Morse and Jason Carter as the Tailor Henry and his Nephew Nicholas. Lysette Anthony, who starred in Peter Yates’ Krull (1983), mimes the tomboyish Princess Gilda.
The music score is written by the Israeli-born composer and conductor David Krivoshei, founder of the Tel Aviv Pops Orchestra. The several music cues are contributed by series’ music supervisor Stephen Lawrence along with lyricist Michael Korie. Both worked also on Red Riding Hood.
Enjoy!
• Cannon Movie Tales: Puss in Boots (1988) directed by Eugene Marner and featuring stars Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter, Batman Returns, Catch Me If You Can) and Jason Connery, son of legendary Sean Connery in the roles of Puss and Corin, the Miller’s son. It is a direct-to-video film adaption of the popular fairytale "Le chat bott�" by Charles Perrault and the last to be produced and released in the Cannon Movie Tales series.
The music score is written by the Israeli-born composer and conductor Rafi Kadishson, who also conducted the London Symphony Orchestra and collaborated with composers like Lalo Schifrin on "Kol Nidrei". Kadishson is also a winner of some musical prizes. The songs are contributed by Michael Abbott, with lyrics written by Anne Crosswell.
Enjoy!
• Cannon Movie Tales: The Frog Prince (1988), featuring Aileen Quinn, best known for her title role in the musical Annie (1982) ("It’s the Hard Knock Life"), John Paragon (Pee-wee’s Big Adventure) and co-starring a young, then almost unknown Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets, Twister) in the role of Princess Zora’s mean sister Henrietta. Boy, she’s really mean. Poor Zora.
Kenn Long and Neil Richardson contributed the music, while Kenn Long did most of the stuff, like Main Theme, Songs and Lyrics. Some of the songs are reminiscent of the Golden Age of Hollywood, for example "Too Tall Frog", or "Have You Forgotten Me?" with their Jazz flavour.
This entry finished my Cannon Movie Tales series. I hope you liked it! Maybe one or another of you recalled some childhood memories with this rare jewels.
Enjoy!
• Cannon Movie Tales: Song Collection, as the name implies, a collection of all songs from the series into one thread. I splitted them up into two volumes, starting from the first release Rumpelstiltskin to the last Puss in Boots. For those, who want to enjoy just the songs and not the score.
Enjoy!

• Jiř� Srnka Film Music Collection Vol. 1, which covers a new artist in my Czech Composers section – Jiř� Srnka (1907-1982), which wrote excellent film scores in equal measure to Hollywood composers like Nino Rota, Mikl�s R�zsa or Alfred Newman.
This collection features music from Otakar V�vra’s controversial history drama Kladivo na Čarodejnice (1969), which covers the events of the Northern Moravia witch trials of the 1670s, Otakar V�vra’s Hussite Revolutionary Trilogy of Jan Hus (1954), Jan Žižka (1955) and Proti Všem (1956), the 16th century history drama Rozina sebranec (1945) about a girl, does not know the feeling of beeing loved, until she meets the glassmaker Nikolo, the drama Děvčica z Beskyd (1944), which features frantic string compositions by Srnka, as well as the historic comedy Nezbedn� Bakal�ř (1946) with several songs by the Scholae Cantorum Prof. Venhody and the poetic Stř�brn� v�tr (1954) about a boy, who discovers love for the first time.

Performed by the former FISYO, The Prague Philharmonic Orchestra under conductors Nic Raine and James Fitzpatrick.
Personally, I don’t like this compilation that much compared to the other two, because it’s more a filler album rather than worthy of "100 Greatest Themes". Sure, there are gems within, but most of the songs aren’t worth its title. Neverless…
Enjoy!
• Skladby Jiř�ho Srnky / The Compositions of Jiř� Srnka (2012), the first official compilation of music by Czech composer Jiř� Srnka, released by SUPRAPHON a.s. It features suites of music from the film Měs�c nad řekou (The Moon Over the River), which emotional and lush string compositions marks some of the composers best works. No wonder, it was released years later. The other half of the CD contains a concerto for violin and dramatic orchestra featuring three lenghty cues performed by the Czech Philharmonic and violinist V�clav Sn�til, recorded in 1960.

Then, we have Kluci na řece (1944), a black-and-white comedy with poetic pictures about a group of boys having adventures at the river’s side, and last but not least maybe one of the composer’s most popular films from that era, the even more poetic, psychological drama Měs�c nad řekou (1953), which features lush, emotional string compositions, which were even released as suites on an official CD in 2012 – Skladby Jiř�ho Srnky (2012), the one I posted above.

Musicwise, we have world-class composers on board here – E.F. Burian, Zdeněk Liška, Jan Nov�k, Luboš Fišer, František Belf�n and Karel Svoboda. Some names may sound unknown, some are more prominent, but one thing the composer’s got in common – the written scores for the films are incredible! Listen for yourself in my newest audio rip.
