Below, you will find a direct link to the original Movietone score composed by
Hugo Riesenfeld. Since that one is in 1.0 mono I ripped that to mp3/320 for archival purposes.
Considered by many to be the finest silent film ever made by a Hollywood studio, F.W. MURNAU's Sunrise represents
the art of the wordless cinema at its zenith. Based on the Hermann Sudermann novel A Trip to Tilsit, this "Song of Two Humans"
takes place in a colorful farming community, where people from the city regularly take their weekend holidays. Local farmer
George O'Brien, happily married to Janet Gaynor, falls under the seductive spell of Margaret Livingston, a temptress
from The City. He callously ignores his wife and child and strips his farm of its wealth on behalf of Livingston, but even this
fails to satisfy her. One foggy evening, O'Brien meets Livingston at their usual swampland trysting place. She bewitches
him with stories about the city -- its jazz, its bright lights, its erotic excitement. Thrilled at the prospect of running off with
Livingston, O'Brien stops short: "What about my wife?" Drawing ever closer to her victim, Livingston murmurs "Couldn't she
just...drown?" (the subtitle bearing these words then "melts" into nothingness). In his delirium, the husband agrees.
The plan is to row Gaynor to the middle of the lake, then capsize the boat. Gaynor will drown, while O'Brien will save
himself with some bulrushes that he'd previously hidden in the boat; thus, the murder will look like an accident.
The next day, the brooding O'Brien begins slowly rowing his unsuspecting wife across the lake. Halfway to shore, he makes
his intentions clear, but is unable to go through with it. As his wife cringes in terror, O'Brien rows to the other side of lake.
Once ashore, she runs away from him in terror, as he stumbles after her, trying to apologize. Gaynor boards a streetcar
bound for the city, with O'Brien climbing aboard a few seconds afterward. Upon reaching the city (a renowned set design),
O'Brien continues trying to make amends to his wife. They sit disconsolately at a table in a restaurant, unable to eat the
plate of cake that is set before them. Slowly, Gaynor begins overcoming her fear. The couple wander into a church, where
a wedding is taking place. Breaking down in sobs, O'Brien begins repeating the wedding vows, thereby convincing Gaynor
that she has nothing to fear. Together again, the couple embraces in the middle of a busy street, oblivious to the honking
horns and irate motorists. Anxious to prove to each other that all is well, the husband and wife spend a delightful afternoon
having their pictures taken and "dolling up" in a posh barber shop. They cap their unofficial second honeymoon at a joyous
festival in an outsized amusement park. More in love with each other than ever before, O'Brien and Gaynor head back
across the lake in the dark of night. Suddenly, a storm arises. Pulling out the bulrushes with which he'd planned to save
himself, O'Brien straps them onto Janet, telling her to swim to shore. The storm passes. Washing up on shore, the
unconscious O'Brien is brought home. But Gaynor is nowhere to be found, and it is assumed that she has died in the
storm. Half-insane, O'Brien strikes out at Livingston, the instigator of the murder plan. Just as he is about to throttle
the treacherous temptress, he is summoned home; his wife is alive! As Livingston stumbles out of the village, O'Brien
and Gaynor cling tightly to one another, watching the sun rise above their now-happy home. Together with Seventh Heaven,
Sunrise earned Janet Gaynor the first-ever Best Actress Academy Award, while Charles Rosher and Karl Struss walked home
with the industry's first Best Photography Oscar. The film itself was also in the Oscar race, but lost out to the more
financially successful Wings.
Appearing at the dawn of the talkies, F.W. Murnau's first American film represented Hollywood silent artistry at its peak.
Murnau's graceful moving camera, expressive lighting, and superimpositions lyrically evoke the inner passion, pain, and
romanticism driving the love triangle among a simple country couple and a vampish city woman. Though the city
sequences play up too many country bumpkin-isms, the amusement park and streetscapes remain a marvel of set
design, and the post-synchronized music and effects soundtrack eloquently took the place of speech. A prestige production
for Fox Studio crafted by transplanted German personnel, including Murnau, scenarist Carl Mayer, and cinematographers
Charles Rosher and Karl Struss, Sunrise was more a succ�s d'estime than a box-office hit, and it won several of the newly
instituted Academy Awards, with new star Janet Gaynor taking Best Actress for Sunrise, Street Angel, and Seventh Heaven,
Rosher and Struss winning Cinematography, and the film receiving Best Artistic Quality of Production (a second Best Picture
category dropped the following year). Critically revered for its exquisite technique, Sunrise's artistic impact can be seen
most notably in Citizen Kane (1941).
Music Composed and Conducted by
Timothy Brock
Played by the
Olympia Chamber Orchestra
"Timothy Brock is an active conductor and composer who specializes in concert works of the early 20th-century and live
performances of silent film. And as a leading authority on orchestral performance practices of the 1920's and '30's, he has
been engaged to conduct some of the most celebrated orchestras throughout the world, in both concert repertoire and
period film-music.
Considered one of the most foremost experts on silent-film music, his most notable contributions in this field are his
restorations and published editions of Dmitri Shostakovich's only silent film score, New Babylon (1929), Manilo Mazza's
Italian epic, Cabiria (1913), Erik Satie's dadaist score, Entr'acte (1924) and the famous George Antheil score to Ballet
m�canique (1924). Other film-score restorations include Max Butting's Opus I (1920), Camille Saint-Sa�ns' L'Assassinat
du duc de Guise (1908) and Ildebrando Pizzetti's Sinfonia del fuoco (1914).
His work on the Charles Chaplin scores began in 1998 when the Chaplin estate commissioned him to restore the illustrious
score to Modern Times, and has since then restored 12 Chaplin silent feature and short scores until the work's completion
in 2012. These scores include City Lights (1931), The Gold Rush (1924), and The Circus (1928). In 2004, Brock also
painstakingly transcribed some 13 hours of unheard Chaplin compositions from a newly discovered acetate recording
of Chaplin composing on the piano. This resulted in the creation of a new score for Chaplin's feature drama A Woman
of Paris (1923), a work that Brock has conducted in concert a number of times, including at Cinema Ritrovato 2005 in
Bologna, the Kino-Babylon in Berlin in 2011, as well as a recording made with Orchestra Citta Aperta in Rome and London,
with whom he has also conducted a complete recording of The Gold Rush in 2012.
Timothy Brock was also a pioneering figure in the area of what has become popularly-known as Entartete Musik, music
of composers banned by the Third Reich, for which he has received some of his widest acclaim. Between 1989-2000
he gave the North American premieres of Erwin Schulhoff's Symphony no. 2, Hanns Eisler's Kleine Sinfonie, Niemandslied
and Kuhle Wampe, as well one of the first-ever performances of Viktor Ullmann’s poignant opera, Der Kaiser von Atlantis,
written from within the Terezin ghetto in 1944. The works of Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942), Franz Schreker (1878-1934),
Alexander von Zemlinsky (1871-1942), Hans Kr�sa (1899-1944), Gideon Klein (1919-1944) and Pavel Haas (1899-1944)
featured prominently in these series."
