It’s amazing what’s out there in the hands of private collectors. I was recently trading scores with someone, and he mentioned he had John Addison’s music for the “Centennial” mini-series. I thought he meant one CDR of highlights, but it turned out he had the complete scores for the first 9 episodes, on cassettes given to him by the composer in the early 1980s. (The last 3 episodes are missing, but that isn’t too painful since most of that music is derived from themes already established in earlier episodes.)

The collector had transferred the music for himself onto three separate sources:
• Cassette back-ups, with all the slate numbers and studio chatter intact.
• CDR copies of those cassettes
• A 4-CDR set of highlights with slates and chatter removed.

I was sent all of this material, with the understanding that I would make the score freely available, since it’s unlikely it will ever get an official release (the entire 12 episodes would take up at least 6 CDs, an expensive proposition for any label). I’ve been slowly working my way through it all - 15 hours in total - to find the best sounding versions (each source sounds slightly different, with their own unique pros and cons). Rather than wait until I’ve finished the whole thing, I thought I would post each individual episode score as I go along.

Sound quality: it’s all mono, but reasonably full and dynamic. Since this music is from an early 1980s tape source, don’t expect state-of-the-art sound, but don’t expect it to be terrible either.

The music: well, I love it. I wouldn’t take on this amount of work if I didn’t. I saw the original series back in 1979, but I didn’t appreciate just how intelligently crafted Addison’s music was. I think it might be his best work. It’s melodically rich, with a theme for virtually every major character. If you’ve seen the series you will remember that one majestic piece of music that appears in virtually every episode, a cue I’ve called “The Land.” The action music is also very memorable, and it gets more than one workout during the 12 episodes.

I’m kicking off with the series opener, “Only The Rocks Live Forever,” which was longer than other episodes. Most have about 30 minutes of score, but the opener has over an hour.

PM me if you’re interested, or leave a message in the thread. I’ll add other episodes as soon as I can. What I’ll try to do is keep a record of people I’ve sent a link to and automatically send them new links as soon as they’re ready. Alternatively, you can check here for updates.

Hello feedthecats,
I never thought in my dreams that this massive John Addison TV score will ever become available.
So I may ask if you could sent me the link (and forthcoming links as they become available) ?
Thanks in advance for the links and even more thanks for the effort and hard work
you invest in preserving this marvellous TV score.
Kind regards, Klaus.

Please send me the links in Flac. Thanks very much.

Fantastic!! Would love a link, please. Many thanks. Great, artwork by the way.

Terrific, more terrific, most terrific!!!!
A link (or more) for this would just be sensationell!!!
Thank you so very much!!!

WOW. I would love to get these links, thank you!

Oh please send me the links this sounds wonderful to have in my collection!!!! thank you so much JOEY(VITAPULSE)

One of those things I thought would never exist in decent quality. I would so love to listen to this, could you please send a link? I will forever be in your debt.

Also, very glad I'm not alone in thinking Centennial is a fascinating and very well made miniseries despite the passage of time. IMO some of Timothy Dalton's best work, and he's just one somewhat minor piece in a phenomenal ensemble.

Could you please send me the links? Thanks in advance

Wow! Yes, I remember this (not so) mini-series with a bearded Robert Conrad. It was nammed “Colorado” in France and aired in 1980 on the public network (Antenne 2). Too bad it was dubbed in French, we missed out on all the different accents. I went on “you tube” to refresh my memory and listen to John Addison’s music. Very nice music indeed with a clever use of leitmotivs. The beginning of one motif reminds me of John Williams’s “Jaws” music heard in “Out to Sea” … I am not very familiar with John Addison’s work, I only know his music for “A Bridge Too Far”.
I would be delighted to listen to more of this labor of love, feedthecats! May I please be added to the list of the lucky link recipients? Thank you very much in advance. Very nice cover by the way.

Link (of episode 1) received with many thanks. Looking forward to next episode. :-)

This is an excellent find! Back during the heyday of the TV "Mini-Series" events, big stories, like "Once an Eagle" which really kicked off the miniseries "events" way back in 1976. That series helped launch Sam Elliot's career. I am listening to "Centennial" right now, and this is absolutely lovely! Brings back so many fond memories of this, back in the days before the scriptwriter's strike, that led to the eventual demise of television in the "reality" based dreck that we get nowadays. Please send me the future links, as Addison's style is long gone in our current musical climate. Rep added! Thank you SO MUCH, again!

I would love to have a link! Thank you very much!

Episode 1 received, thanks! :)

Seems like this would be a good time for me to acknowledge the many kind words I’ve received about this, and the sense of nostalgia many of us share about this series and its music. You can imagine how familiar I’ve become with each cue, having listened to every one of them dozens of times as I’ve equalized volume levels and fixed tape dropout, and you probably wouldn’t blame me if I’d become a little bored with it all… but it’s a testament to the quality of this score that I’m still enjoying it immensely. I’m really happy that this music is now “out there” - living and breathing in people’s homes, as it should be. It was a no-brainer that this was going to be popular here, but I’m still overwhelmed by the response - 5 pages already, and I’ve got over a hundred of you on my list. [ Yeah, I know, that sounds a bit sinister :) ]

If you’re familiar with the series you’ll remember how its tone changes as the narrative progresses. This gives Addison a lot of scope for writing in different styles, starting with the adventurous Pasquinel/McKeag material, continuing that freewheeling spirit with the Levi Zendt “westward the wagons” storyline, but getting much darker with the stories that deal with the terrible treatment of the Arapahoe, which culminates in the grim fifth episode about the Skimmerhorn massacre. After that you can almost hear the composer breathing a sigh of relief when he (and the score) is allowed to go romping out into the wide open spaces again with “The Longhorns” as Dennis Weaver and his colourful cowhands drive their herd through hostile territory to Colorado. That episode has some of the most lighthearted and catchy material in the entire score.

Once the narrative settles down in the town of Centennial and becomes less of an exhilarating adventure and more of an introverted drama, the score changes tack accordingly but still remains fascinating. And although there’s no score available for the last three episodes, there was one surprise on the tapes. Merle Haggard sings “I Guess He’d Rather Be In Colorado” during the last episode, a version that apparently has never been commercially released. It was recorded along with the score, and although it may be of less interest to fans of Addison's music I’ll include it as a bonus at the very end. Haggard fans will rejoice because they can now hear it without sound fx and dialog.

The score for Episode 2, “The Yellow Apron”, will be available hopefully within the next 24 hours.

What you did is a genuine labour of Love, dear feedthecats! :)

With all my gratitude.

* I actually have the R. Gamba conducted Addison compilation with the intro/main title but, like a lot of other things, I've never gotten around to listening to it.

Does the rest of the score live up to it? Guess I'll find out.

Thanks again for your efforts, feed.

Links for episode 1 and 2 received!what a surprise!

Episode 2 received !

Thank you very much !!!

:-)))

Can I just add that this is what these sorts of boards are all about. Never in a million years would this material be made available in CD form, but nonetheless has a small but significant number of listeners keen to hear it.

John Addison is unjustly overlooked as a composer, despite having an impressive range and an interestingly broad career trajectory - from 1950s Ealing comedies to British New Wave films of the 60s and to big-budget extravaganzas of the 70s like "A Bridge Too Far" and "Centennial".

I eagerly await the next instalment! Thanks again!

Thank you very much :-)

Link for part 2 received. Thanks very much.

Would love a link !

Fantastic share. Could you send me the links as well? Thanks in advance.

Outstanding work! PM sent. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Fantastic share! Very generous of you. Could I please get links to the available episodes? Thank you. Best wishes M

Link (of episode two) received with many thanks.

Got the first two. This is pretty amazing!

Thank you, feedthecats!

I'm still boggled that after all these years this soundtrack never got an official release on CD.

Links received. And rep added, of course. Thanks a lot again!

Episode 3, “The Wagon and the Elephant” is now ready and I’ll be sending out PMs to everybody in the “Centennial Club” … so far, 127 people.

This episode sees the introduction of new characters, and Addison expands his already rich musical landscape with a generous collection of fresh themes and ideas. He will continue to do this with pretty much every episode, which I think is remarkable.

Link 2 received. Thank you!

Great share, would love to get the links! I'm amazed who often tv scores managed to have such quality, considering the time constraints involved in tv productions, as compared to movies.
