Epic action and slow songs are good and all, but how about some tension building mood setting kind of Orchestral?

Something that resembles this (http://www.divshare.com/download/5855447-a77).

Billie, i didnt know that you have Erdenstern tracks with you.
I sometimes hear them on Radio Rivendell (http://www.radiorivendell.com/index.php?page=music_info&what=artist&id=210).
Do you have complete Erdenstern albums?
i've been searching for their albums online, but they are hard to find. I couldn't find any.
Hehe, i'm glad that you like Erdenstern.
Yes, i have four albums (i bought the albums at Erdenstern (http://www.erdenstern.de/shop/?lang=en))


INTO THE GREEN creates a green scenery, with mighty forests, deep marshlands, hills and plains and the like. You will meet jolly townsfolk, strange and dangerous creatures, as well as mysterious priests of an ancient belief long forgotten. You will witness fierce fights, great adventures, quests, riddles and bravery. You will endure despair in times of strain and fear. And, finally, you will feel joy and relief when home is in sight again.


INTO THE RED takes you into the turmoil of an upcoming war. You will be called to the court of the king, you will be armed and equipped, and you will have to prove yourselves in fierce battle. You will face ambushes, fight monsters and wistfully think of your loved ones back home. This journey will demand a lot of you: bravery,austerity, loss and pain.


INTO THE BLUE brings you aboard a proud vessel. Be it as a privateer, as dutiful crewmen, or as a shifty pirate captain —
Into The Blue contains a lot of music for your sea adventures.
From the weighing of the anchor in your home port, through storms and sea battles, with mysterious maps to foreign islands, to reach the well deserved treasure at last, that lies buried deep in the sands of a distant shore. Whereever your travels may take you, whatever waters you have to sail through


Disgust. Fear. Something is lurking in shadows.
INTO THE DARK leads you down deep abysses, to sinister, mighty enemies, and nameless horrors.
Lost in a gloomy realm, you encounter eerie figures, fight dreadful beasts and witness gory rituals.
Swallow your nausea, stare down the terrors, and face the unspeakable!

Let's start this week-end in a classy, sumptuous way!

Here's a score I already posted some time ago. But it largely deserves to be reposted again. This is my favorite score. The one I'd bring with me on a deserted island if I had to choose only one.

I don't know how he did it, but James Horner composed an out-of-this-world score for Peter Yates' 1983 movie. For those of you who still don't know it, it's a huge symphonic score, incredibly stylish and elegant, breathtakingly epic and inspired, and... words cannot describe this, you have to listen it to believe it.

This rip is made in the highest mp3 quality possible (lame 3.98 preset insane). All covers are included.

Review from scorereviews.com (http://www.scorereviews.com/reviews/review.aspx?id=66)

Krull has previously been one of the most hard-to-get and sought after scores by Horner, and people have paid a lot of money for the two prior releases, released in 1987 and 1992. The problem with those releases were that a lot of music was left out, but now, thanks to Super Tracks, we are given the chance to hear the complete score for the first time, and we owe them a great deal, because Krull is one of those scores no Horner fan or filmmusic fan in general should miss. Trust me.

The music was composed in 1983, when Horner was about to turn 30. The story goes that James was ill, and didn't have much time when he composed the score, forcing him to hire a gang of orchestrators helping him out, and apparently they, and Horner of course, who orchestrated as much as the time allowed him to, did a fantastic job, because Krull is truly a feast for the ears, with its many different harmonies and sounds. There is always something happening in different parts of the orchestra. Krull is a milestone in Horner's career and I think that Horner experimented a lot, and tried new ideas, when composing this score. For example, some of the tracks has this strange swishing synth sound in the background and you can discern ideas and phrases that later would be fully developed in scores such as Willow and Aliens.

The music is performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and the Ambrosian Singers, the same orchestra and choir Horner used for Brainstorm the same year. The choir is used mainly to create an eerie, mystical, sound, like for example in the first track, "Krull Main Title and Colvyn's Arrival", where the choir, mostly haunting female voices singing in "odd" intervals, is used in the beginning, along with a superb, heroic fanfare, that's building larger and larger until the wonderful main theme (a very melodic, captivating and long theme) is presented for the first time. What follows is 90 minutes of great, mainly brassy action music, with triumphant trumpet phrases and heroic horn fanfares, like for example "Ride of the Firemares" (which I think is the best track, along with the main title and "Epilogue and End Title"), filled with different motifs and fantastic orchestrations, sometimes interrupted, or varied, with more lyrical and tender moments (like for instance in the beginning of "The Slayer's Attack" or in the concert version of the love theme), although it is the action and adventurous music that plays the more prominent part of the score.

WOW, what a awesome soundtrack *____*
I see the movie Krull only one time and i was fascinated from the music in this. And now i can hear the music again, thanks to you, arthierr. You are really great ^______^ *HUUUUUUUG*

so more tracks from Erdenstern
two tracks per album, enjoy friends

INTO THE GREEN


The Journey Begins (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ots5om) Great Expectations - adventurous, heroic, expectant

Into the Red (http://www.sendspace.com/file/fe69fb) Death or Glory - heroic, rhythmic, powerful
Long Live the King (http://www.sendspace.com/file/zq8ex9) and Honour to the Comrades lost - epic, military, glorious

INTO THE BLUE


Boarding The Enemy Vessel (http://www.sendspace.com/file/8zc6y6) Hahaa! Swinging swankily through the rigging - combative, vivid, rhythmic
Gold And Glory (http://www.sendspace.com/file/06fdet) The Plunderers' Jig - cheerful, vivid, driving

INTO THE DARK


Into The Dark (http://www.sendspace.com/file/2v21rz) Don't look back! - onerous, gigantic, menacing

Epic action and slow songs are good and all, but how about some tension building mood setting kind of Orchestral?

Try these, they're in the same style. It's a series of short orchestral ambiences from the movie Mysterious Island. Quite effective.

Billie, thanks for these posts. I'll try them tonight. And I really appreciate the way you described each piece with adequate adjectives, good idea!

Hello everyone! Long time lurker in this topic, and I've really enjoyed downloading and listening to all the great music that's been posted! I particularly enjoyed the packs of 'horrifically minded' compositions, and felt I'd contribute by posting Jason Grave's soundtrack to the hit game Dead Space! Just in the event that you music buffs haven't given it a listen yet. I'm really no expert when it comes to music, but in the context of the game every bit of it was positively brilliant. Some of the sounds he gets out of those instruments are really just unreal. For examples of what I'm talking about I recommend my two favorite tracks that play for the game's boss segments, The Leviathan and The Hive Mind. Those of you into very intense, action-oriented pieces should also give it a whirl.



1. Dead Space Theme 3:35
2. Welcome Aboard The U.S.G. Ishimura 5:21
3. The Necromorphs Attack 5:51
4. Fly Me To The Aegis Seven Moon 4:55
5. Severed Limbs Are Hazardous Waste 4:56
6. Nicole's Farewell 2:51
7. I Left My Heart In Med Lab 3 2:19
8. The Leviathan 3:18
9. Cyanide Systems Offline 3:17
10. Entering Zero-G 2:01
11. I've Got You Devolving Under My Skin 3:10
12. Manual Survival Mode Seven 4:56
13. Plasma Cutters Are Your Friend 3:14
14. The Cost Of Living Is On The Rise 4:05
15. Do Not Vomit - Do Not Shout 2:43
16. The Hive Mind 2:37
17. Escape From The Planet Of The Red 1:58

Enjoy! Strongly recommend playing these in a dark room!

Fantastic score indeed. The terrific orchestral ambiences Graves composed are breathtaking, and remarkably interesting to analyze from a purely musical technique perspective.

Thank you for your great post!

Funnily enough, I was thinking of posting another ORCHESTRAL HORROR COMPILATION, because in the last one I didn't put several pieces I consider as masterpieces of the genre. So if someone is interested I'll post this pack this week-end.

I just attended the World Premiere of Maslanka's 8th Symphony, and WOW! If there's any interest, the CD is being recorded today.

*hands up* Heeeereeee! XD I have great interest in your compilation ^^

Falcon21: Thanks for the tip. I didn't know this composer, so I googled him, here's his wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Maslanka, and here I found a nice 16+ minute long sample of his music (http://www.imeem.com/lyrachel/music/l1lF0eUn/david_maslanka_give_us_this_day_short_symphony_for _wind_en/). Looks quite interesting.


Billie: thank you ^^. I'll upload my pack tonight.

Billie, thanks for these posts. I'll try them tonight. And I really appreciate the way you described each piece with adequate adjectives, good idea!
Thank you, but the idea was not from me, peculiar from the cd booklets XD, but in future i do it again ^^

Hehe, no thanks, arthierr, i'm thank you for the really great compilations

Billie, thanks for the Erdenstern tracks. It's a nice compilation.
Have you heard the new album, Into The Gold (http://www.erdenstern.de/intothegold/?lang=en)?

Arthierr, Krull is indeed one of the greatest James Horner soundtracks.
I really miss the music composing style that Horner had on the 80's.

Yes, Sanico, Horner's music from the eighties is the most impressive musical oeuvre I've heard. Nothing I've heard since that impressed me so much. This guy reached the concept of Sublime in music closer than anyone in my opinion.

Okay now my fellows, I have a small request.

I accidentally deleted my music folder yesterday.

I need some amazing scores. Althier, I trust your judgment absolutely. There is little question when I say you have impeccable taste.

Now, I am a fairly big fan of epic music. I love stuff with drums, and brass, and lots of vocals.

But I also have a thing for quite... emotional music. Let it never be said that I do not love Kanon D-dur.

So, guys, tell me. What are the soundtracks that I absolutely must download?

Oh, and before I do anything, here is what I have so far:

I need to know more about the music in this video - it is incredibly epic. Try and ignore the Kylie Minogue bits and interviews, the music plays all the way through and mixes genres quite a bit, but it's so so so so good!

Any info or a rip would be lovely! <3

Phew, this display of luxury, money, mondanity and vulgarity is just obscene and disgusting...

But indeed the music is awesome, sometimes sounds like Williams but without the extreme mastery and precision of the maestro, so it's probably not him. I bet it's composed by a guy hired especially for the event, they largely have the money to afford some original orchestral music.

If someone has more info please help.

Some parts sound like Debney or Newton Howard in orchestra mode, other parts sound like generic action trailer music.


a another one, composed by Sean Beeson
Race to Jupiter (http://www.sendspace.com/file/c7ba13)


I remember this guy from the Northern Sounds forum. He's pretty good, and this piece seems to draw inspiration from Holst's Planets which is always nice to hear.

Here is Ta � Ta � Ri � Gami (The Demon God), from Princess Mononoke - Symphonic Suite.
It's a dissonant and very percussive drive cue.
In fact i've never heard Hisaishi doing a so ferocious track like this before.

The suite was performed by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, under the conduction of Mario Klemens.

Smooth Criminal (http://www.sendspace.com/file/t6b6z0)

Beautiful suite, Sanico, thank you. The gigantic sound of this orchestra greatly enhances the already superb original score.


Billie: Thank you! I'm a big fan of symphonic arrangements of modern songs. Your post is very welcome.


Speaking of suite, here's a good opportunity to post a piece I wanted to post since a long time.

Kohei Tanaka - Gunbuster - koukyoushi Gunbuster [Symphonic Poem Gunbuster] 320k
http://www.sendspace.com/file/hp5ce5

A marvellous 10+ minute suite from the anime Gunbuster. The original score is partly symphonic but is performed by a small orchestra. For this magnificient suite they hired a much bigger orchestra. The result is sumptuous and really gives to the superb themes composed by Kohei Tanaka the great enhancement they deserves.

Enjoy!

Guys, I recently found a nice compilation of the orchestral music of Lee Holdridge posted by Sharon Agathon. That's the occasion to make a special post about this composer.


Lee Holdridge

His website:
http://www.leeholdridge.com/

IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002626/

From Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Holdridge)

Lee Holdridge (b. March 3, 1944) is a Haitian-born American television composer and orchestrator.

He was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, of a Puerto-Rican mother and an American father. While living in Costa Rica, at age ten, he studied the violin with Hugo Mariani, who was at the time the conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica. Holdridge decided he wanted to become a composer at age fifteen, and then moved to Boston, where he finished high school and studied composition with Henry Lasker.

As an adult, Holdridge moved to New York City to continue his music studies and begin his career as a professional composer. There, he composed chamber works, rock pieces, songs, theater music and background scores for short films, and eventually came to Neil Diamond's notice. Diamond then brought Holdridge with him to Los Angeles to write arrangements for his forthcoming albums. After several gold and platinum hits, the two collaborated on the film score for Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

Holdridge has composed, conducted, and orchestrated for many films, some of the most notable being Puerto Vallarta Squeeze, Unlikely Heroes, Beautiful Music, Ever Again, and Into The Arms of Strangers: Stories of The Kindertransport. He has also composed for several television series, including The Mists of Avalon, American Family, and The Brooke Ellison Story.

Thank you for this Kaoru Wada track, Billie.

This one is really dark, even too dark for me, but Wada composes with so much talent that it's good anyway.



You've grown soft on us, big orchestral action music thread.

http://sharebee.com/f1f550f0
http://sharebee.com/bdd77cdc

Absolutely superb, first class orchestral action music. But I'd appreciate some minimal info about these tracks for me and others. Sounds like Goldenthal indeed, but the ostinato at 2:03 of part 1 is clearly reminiscent of Krull - Inside the Black Fortress (5:50).

It's from Goldenthal's Cobb and shows the beginnings of what would later be his epic scores to Titus and Final Fantasy TSW. I think the similarity in the ostinato figure you mentioned is a coincidence. To me they sound like arpeggios in triplets (or sextuplets) just sustaining the harmony.

Yes, it's really dark, but i can write my stories with these songs even better XD
One more track, than i'm off, my boys *grien*

I always find it odd that Wada has for the past 20 years chosen to utilize the smallest sized orchestra possible. He's like the Bruce Broughton of anime scores.

[double post caused by dropped Internet connection - sorry folks]

I always find it odd that Wada has for the past 20 years chosen to utilize the smallest sized orchestra possible. He's like the Bruce Broughton of anime scores.

I wonder if this is his choice, or a budgetary constraint? ;)

Interesting thought though. Am I the only person who finds that usually it is the *recording technique* rather than the size of the orchestra that often sounds small on Japanese scores? I really hate the acoustic of Sound Inn (the studio where most of these things are recorded) and the engineers seem to understand little about recording an orchestra. Shoving a microphone right in every player's face makes everything sound tinny. Super Mario Galaxy, for example - I believe this is somewhere near a sixty piece orchestra, but it sounds dreadful. In comparision, Broughton had only 45 musicians for Heart Of Darkness, but it sounds absolutely superb. Walker (RIP) and co scored episodes of the animated Batman show with absolutely pathetic orchestras (20-30 players) and it sounds quite sufficient.

Consistently, British and American engineers seem to be better at recording smaller ensembles than their Japanese counterparts. Japanese engineers seem to be incredibly skilled at making sixty people sound like twenty. It's a pity their recordings are so flaming awful, because often the music is of exceptional quality.

Anyway, apologies for going off topic - thank you everybody for recent posts. I haven't been around much lately (back in Hospital) but I should be back on a slightly more regular basis now. :)

Hope you're doing well, my friend. See you soon in good shape. Don't forget to bring back with you your great musical culture and your tons of orchestral gems. ;)

Oh dannyfrench, it's sorrowful to hear, that you are going to or you are in the hospital now, i wish you a fast recovery and come back shortly. Get well soon, my friend dannyfrench *hug*

You're really good to find rare superb stuff, aren't you? If you have more from this guy, even less actioney, I'd be glad to listen more from him. He seems to be quite an orchestral master.

Knowing you are a big Kanno fan, I notice some similarities in the style with Kanno's compositions and orchestrations. Maybe it's just an impression...

I'll explain with Cdex because it's easy and convenient, some people prefer EAC but it's for more advanced users.

- install Cdex http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdexos/cdex_170b2_enu.exe?download

- get the latest lame encoder http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm

- replace lame_enc.dll in the Cdex folder by the one in the latest lame pack

- open cdex and go to options > settings, in the encoder tab select lame as encoder and preset extreme or insane in quality.

- drag n drop your wav files in the main window of cdex and choose encode.

That's it!

arthierr, you don't recognize Shostakovich's Symphony No. 6? For shame...

One of the things that always bothered me about the Balders Gate soundtrack ...forgot which one ...was that one of the tracks was a midi version of the main theme from Lifeforce...Once I find my CD's for both I will post them up here :p

This is the first track of the bootleg from Austin Powers In Goldmember, by George S. Clinton.
If in the first two film, George S. Clinton created a soundtrack inspired by the sound of the 60's spy's movies, this time Clinton homages David Arnold sound for Bond: a fast tempo track combining electronic and orchestra together.

Ah, good. Thanks, waiting for the 2 other movements. If only I had more time to explore late 19th century's classicals, there seems to be so much treasures there. I'm only used to the symphonies of Tchaikovsky and Dvorak, plus some orchestral pieces here and there.

change the soundtrack in 320 kbps? What does it mean?


I can 128 kbps change in 320 kbps with my little helper names AudioJack ^^ and the sound is even better with this. Or you mean another thing with 128k?

Ah, but the mp3 compression is lossy and irreversible, which means once the informations are lost during encoding they can't be restored.

In fact re-encoding a 128k track in 320k will not increase the quality, on the contrary it will make it worse because the mp3 compression will suppress even more informations. It is a bit like the photocopy of a photocopy, you see.

A mp3 encoding should be done only once. And the only way to obtain a higher bitrate rip is to redo it from the original source. That's why I asked JRL3001 to rip from his CD.

Ah, okay, now i understand this very well ^^, thank you for the information ^^

Ah, good. Thanks, waiting for the 2 other movements. If only I had more time to explore late 19th century's classicals, there seems to be so much treasures there. I'm only used to the symphonies of Tchaikovsky and Dvorak, plus some orchestral pieces here and there.

There are only 3 movements total in this symphony. It's short and sweet, like the Symphony No. 12. Actually, if I had to rate Shosty's symphonies in terms of action awesomeness, it would go:

1. Symphony No. 7 "Lenningrad"
2. Symphony No. 5
3. Symphony No. 6
4. Symphony No. 12 "The Year 1905"
5. Symphony No. 11 "The Year 1917"
6. Symphony No. 10
7. Symphony No. 1
8. Symphony No. 4
9. Symphony No. 8 (not as action-packed, but this is my favourite)

The rest, (2, 3, 9, 13, 14, 15) are more introspective and contemplative.

07. Die Moldau (Vitava), composed by Bedřich Smetana 12:27


Now that's an awesome orchestral piece if I've ever heard one. Unfortunately, Smetana never composed anything else that was nearly as appealing.

Die Moldau is one of the most amazing classical piece I've heard.

I had a sublime version of M� vlast years ago but I lost the cd. The performance was absolutely gorgeous, and the sound clear as crystal. I really miss this cd.

Overture _Light Bringer_ Allegro Maestoso on B-FLAT Minor (Original CD Theme) : http://www.sendspace.com/file/hkozb8

Thank you. This piece is clearly composed in an orchestral style and would sound awesome performed by a real orchestra. Nice piece!

Arthierr, there are only 2/3 tracks in which that action theme appears. The rest is very different and more in line with the 2 others Austin Powers music.

@Sanico: Thank you so much for the Goldenmember-Tracks

Most of the songs, one or two with brazil feeling, but the another with a great orchester, many with strings ^^

Ooh, you're not doing this one justice, I'm afraid!

Of the entire score, there is only twenty minutes of pure orchestral music (performed by the New Japan Philharmonic) - but what music!

There are other tracks (totalling another 10-15 minutes) performed by a range of smaller (and not quite as good in terms of performance quality) ensembles (string quartet, small orchestra, strings only, piano and strings, etc) but they're still awfully nice.

The rest is a whole melange of styles - from the Brazillian influence Billie mentioned right the way through the genres.

The whole thing is on GH - http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/1178

If you're interested in the orchestral-only tracks, they are:

CD 1:
2. Melfes - Shining Blue
11. To Deliver The Feelings

CD 2:
13. Delkes Black Wings
18. Funeral March
20. The Prayers Become Power
22. Tales

Hello everyone ^^

Been looking through this thread and found some truly terrific gems and I thought I'd throw a recommendation of my own:

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamfall_Soundtrack)

In my opinion, this game has some mindblowingly beautiful tracks. Here's a sample for ya:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dmvfeg

Tell me what you think :)

Edit: Did a quick search and found the entire soundtrack here (Thread 39734) if you liked it and wanted some more

Hokay, so trying out this new audio encoding stuff. Thank you very much btw arthierr :) This is sort of a test. I am still looking for my baulders gate soundtrack and the CD with the life force track on it as well as my copy of Total Annihilation. But while you guys wait I ran the opening theme to one of my all time favorite animated movies and am sharing it with you guys.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is and has been one of my favorite movies and graphic novels for a looooong time. The movie was my introduction to anime (watching an un-translated vhs copy with my friend translating japanese to english for me) and it was when I fell in love with Hayao Miyazak's stories and Joe Hisaishi's beautiful music.

Here is the main theme to the movie. I will be more than happy to upload the rest of the score and the others I have (Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Princess Mononoke Symphony, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle) if wanted

Thank you! I'm surprised that there's not more Hisaishi here, to be honest -and Nausicaa is a superb piece of work. I've yet to see the film (for shame) but am very familiar with (not to mention in love with) the score.

AND now, my own contribution for the day... Many of you will be familiar with the music of English composer George Fenton. He has scored a great deal of television (including The Blue Planet and Planet Earth,) not to mention dozens of feature films, over the years. Last Friday, he gave a magnificent concert for BBC Radio 2, conducting the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Here it is, in full. The BBC are now offering MP3 streams of radio programmes at 128kbps. My upload is this original stream- all I have done is (losslessly) split the tracks and tag them. The audio quality is as originally streamed. BBC Radio 2 transmit at 128kbps MP2 on digital radio, so the quality of this upload will easily outdo the quality of the radio transmission. Maybe a recording from FM radio would've been a little better, I don't know - but I get bad FM reception here, so I wasn't able to record it this way.

Anyway - it's a brilliant concert, containing some of Fenton's best orchestral music, as well as a few songs performed by the George Fenton band. I have included the interval feature, which is an interesting documentary about Fenton, and for Anglophiles across the world, I have kept the BBC announcements and ident jingle.

Arthierr: Sorry about the non-orchestral parts in this - I thought that the significant orchestral bias (70%?) justified it... If you have any objection, I will remove this post. :)

Cheers all :)

Thank you JRL3001 for your contribution.
Although i don't like some electronic parts of the soundtrack, the Nausicaa theme is a top Hisaishi track.
I think it's great see more Hisaishi contributions for the thread.
Joe Hisaishi is one of my three favorite composers, which usually i call them the 3 J's (Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Joe Hisaishi). :)

--------

All this talking of Hisaish,i led me to upload one of his tracks.
So my contribution for today is:



Album: Laputa: The Castle In The Sky - Symphony Version

INDEED!

Seems to be a very beautiful soundtrack, and the piece you've chosen is magnificient.

I downloaded this ost some time ago but didn't try it yet. Thank you very much to point it out. It's now the next album I'll listen to (present album: Island of Lost Souls by Jane Cornish, a breathtaking orchestral treasure).

The whole thing is on GH - http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/1178

Cool! Thanks for pointing my favorite stuff.


Thank you! I'm surprised that there's not more Hisaishi here, to be honest

Yes, quite true, a pretty big negligence. I'll try to post more Hisaishi soon.

Fantastic post! I'm eager to try it. Thank you very much.


If you have any objection, I will remove this post. :)


You're joking, right?... ;)

Well, if you were as anal as I usually am, you'd complain that there's talking and also a bit of pop in there... ;)

But glad to see you don't mind. :)

JRL3001: Bravo! You've encoded your track in the best (non experimental) mp3 quality possible. You can hear the clarity, the power, the fidelity of the sound, it's amazing!

The cue is wonderful, as usual with Hisaishi. I'll check if there are already some 320k versions of the scores you mentioned, if not, your rips would make MANY people happy.


Sanico: superb track, thanks. And your choice of composers reflects a remarkable musical taste.


Fantasy Hero Boy: Thumbs up, sir!

What a great post, this one was absent from my collection (in fact I don't have any score by Rubinstein...), so it's very welcome. Thank you!

Billie, your next request for your great pleasure. :)

Hmm... Thankyou very much for posting - I do appreciate it (seriously) but I have two problems with this:

a) It needs a bloody orchestra. Good music once again spoiled by penny-pinching.
"Real musicians create real emotions. Fake musicians create fake emotions." - Anon (a wise gentleman)
b) It is a temp track extravaganza, with the most obvious blatant theft being the theme in "The Hospital Room", which is a very thinly veiled arrangement of Monica's Theme from John Williams' AI - except it's performed by a crappy singer and a dodgy synthesised orchestra, instead of Barbara Bonney and a large studio orchestra, as it was in AI!

I apologise for being a whingeing git.

I must admit I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this ;)
I don't know anything about making orchestral music or the internal mechanics etc I just know how to listen to and enjoy good music. I'll leave the dissecting to experts like yourself ;)

Never mind. The Williams quotations are quite obvious (although I didn't recognize exactly from which score they came), but that's a nice piece anyway. Let's hope the rest of the ost is free from borrowings.

And I said it before, I'll say it again: a fake orchestra doesn't bother me too much, if a) it sounds good, and b) the piece is composed with talent and orchestrated with taste. To me it seems these 2 aspects are present in your piece.

But indeed, to make this point clear, I prefer by far a real orchestra. There's no comparison between an average sounding real orchestra and the best existing fake orchestra. That's why I only posted "real" pieces in my packs.


Billie: Ura Town is a superb piece I didn't know. Hisaishi has such a gigantic oeuvre that I'm far from having heard all his repertoire. Thank you!

hehe I love this piece of music, along with the rest of the soundtrack. I can't wait for the movie to get released over here so I can see it :D


arthierr; Well let me know when you want them and I will put up the soundtracks I have :D

And I said it before, I'll say it again: a fake orchestra doesn't bother me too much, if a) it sounds good, and b) the piece is composed with talent and orchestrated with taste. To me it seems these 2 aspects are present in your piece.

Just for the sake of clarity, I bought up the synth aspect purely as a point of interest - and to acknowledge that it's a shame that good music isn't given the respect it deserves by virtue of a competent performance. I was not returning to my old argument about "How can you call synthesised music orchestral music, any more than you can call a dead person with 'I am alive' written on his t-shirt an alive person" - I've given up on that one. ;)

Certainly, quality of the music is of primary importance - and that we can appreciate whether it's the London Symphony Orchestra, a keyboard, or even a pile of manuscript paper. However, quality of music can be harder to discern if the performance is not up to scratch, and therefore less accessible. Am I the only person on the planet for whom an emotional moment in music is completely spoiled when the performance is computer-generated, electronic fakery? The obvious flaws of the performance disrespect the material and therefore interfere with my enjoyment. In those cases, I'd rather sit down at a piano with the score, and get right down to what's important. To appreciate music, I need to feel the human connection, and I don't get that when I'm being spoken to by a computer, instead of by living, feeling, breathing humans.

Synthesisers exist to provide a servicable imitation of human musicians. Music is a wholly human experience, as is the primary reaction we have to music - emotion. When I hear a computer doing a bad impression of a violin, or lots of violins, or a full orchestra, or whatever - my natural reaction is not of pure emotion - it's resentment at the feeling that I am being lied to by an electrical appliance (and by extension, the human operator of that appliance.) A computer has no right to dictate (or even suggest) emotional reactions since it has none and no ability to understand them.

Synthesisers impress me because of their technical magnificence, and I completely appreciate their worth in providing up-and-coming composers a chance to learn about orchestration, and for low-budget productions to get scores... And, to clarify, I have nothing against electronic instruments - what I don't like is synthesisers pretending to be humans.

Ondes-Martinot (in the hands of a skilled HUMAN performer) - absolutely beautiful. Because the appliance is not corrupting an emotion - it is creating one - its circuits create a particular sound, just as the texture of the strings, the shape of the soundbox, and the type of wood used in its construction create the sound of a cello.

Computer trying to do a heartfelt violin solo - ugly, just ugly, and artistically so wrong.

I'm sorry for going on - I just wanted to drop in my own thoughts. No disrespect intended to anybody or their contributions. I hope that you will all take this as an interesting essay rather than as an attack, or an attempt to push my own views on to other people. Have a nice evening. :)

b) It is a temp track extravaganza, with the most obvious blatant theft being the theme in "The Hospital Room", which is a very thinly veiled arrangement of Monica's Theme from John Williams' AI - except it's performed by a crappy singer and a dodgy synthesised orchestra, instead of Barbara Bonney and a large studio orchestra, as it was in AI!

It's that John Williams sound again (heard in the Casablanca track at 1:20 when the orchestra swells); celesta (or glockenspiel), winds in motion, strings playing steady harmonies, harp glissandos. Always reminds me of 1:10 in this track by Yoko Kanno: http://sharebee.com/c8cdcfe1

I can't wait for the movie to get released over here so I can see it :D

Yeah, me, too XD, but in germany the movie will be long in coming...

Billie: a big *kiss* for your great posts! Thank you very much, lieber Freund.

I'll post your next request tonight or tomorrow.


JRL3001: thank you for your generous offer. :) I'll check tomorrow if I can get the scores you mentioned in 320k somewhere, if not I'll do some requests. Now you have this super-ripping technique no jutsu, your rips will be very welcome for everybody.


dannyfrench: no problem. Even if we don't agree on some points, your arguments are very interesting to read and bring a lot of cultural value to this thread. Well done!

Will be waiting arthierr :)

But for now finally, Total Annihilation at maximum quality! Unfortunatly the main title is NOT in the soundtrack so it is not here. I think it was only available through download from the Cavedog website for a very short time. I hope you guys enjoy :D

Gern geschehen, Arthierr ^^ (or in english: you are welcome, arthierr X3)
Hehe, thank you very much, too, my friend.

THANK YOU! I can't tell you how flaming terrible my copy of this sounded... You are an officer and a gentleman! :)

Does anybody have the mp3s Soule used to make available on his mp3.com page before that site closed its doors? I remember there was one about a sinking aircraft carrier and another piece with chorus that I haven't been able to find. I don't think they were from any games, but the orchestra was really good (maybe the Seattle Symphony again?)

Ha, this old mp3.com! I met with so much talented artists there. I remember a guy (who's name I've sadly forgotten) who was only 17 but was already composing like a pro (no, not you. Another guy... ;)).

Will be waiting arthierr :)

Awesome is the word! Thank you for this great rip (farewell, awful ogg rip...).

A suggestion: even though this thread has a good trafic, it mostly only attracts orchestral fans. So I recommend you post your rip in the download links section too, so that everybody in this board has the opportunity to grab it. It would be a pity to miss it.

Here is my little contribution for today.
It's a fun light-hearted piece composed by Mikl�s R�zsa for The Thief Of Bagdad.



Album: The Thief Of Bagdad
Artist: Mikl�s R�zsa

Sanico: thank you, a very nice post as usual. Funny because with such a title we would have expected something more actiony, good track anyway.

Awesome! A hug :D

:) Glad you guys are enjoying the music! :D


arthierr; I'll be posting this to the main section in about 2 seconds :)

Now that's an awesome orchestral piece if I've ever heard one. Unfortunately, Smetana never composed anything else that was nearly as appealing.

Good news!

I've found an excellent version of Die Moldau by Bedrich Smetana. The performance is remarkable in this one, and the sound is great (MP3 LAME 3.98 VBR -V 0). I greatly recommend to everybody interested in orchestral music to listen to this, an unbelievebly complex and subtle classical piece. Read the article on Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M�_vlast#Vltava)

Also included the fantastic The Symphony No. 9 in E Minor "From the New World" (Dvoř�k). Read the article on Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_(Dvoř�k))

Oh, die Moldau, thank you over again, arthierr ^^

@JRL3001
You can have some more hugs XD

@sanico
Uaaah, great track, thank you so much, i love this piece. Would you upload the whole album, please?

@streichorchester
Oh really? I want to hear it, please ^^

.

Ah, thank you so much for the soundtrack, sanico, this is so awesome. I'm really appreciate for your kindness

Here two of my favourites.

John Scott is not a very known composer however he is one of the best.

It is a pity that composers as Scott or Broughton are composed for subproducts or telefilms nowadays.

The first one is for a movie directed by Charlton Heston, Anthony and Cleopatra (1973), probably between my ten favorite scores ever:

(http://www.subirimagenes.com/otros-frontcover-1576669.html)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MO4ODQCU

Track listing

1. Overture (09:17)
2. Main Titles (03:36)
3. Undying Love (03:38)
4. Give Me To Drink Madragora (02:02)
5. Pompey (01:58)
6. Cleopatra Deserted (01:38)
7. Rome and Octavia (01:47)
8. The Barge She Sat In (04:19)
9. Battle of Actium (06:16)
10. Part 2. Antony's Army Deserts (01:44)
11. Whither Hast Thou Led Me Egypt (02:26)
12. Death of Enobarbus (02:05)

17. Pretty Worm of Nilus (01:50)
18. Epilogue: Eternal Rest (02:10)

Total Duration: 00:58:19

The second one is a perfect score for a very bad movie from 1991. I recommend you the listening of this work. It is really incredible, spectacular and beautiful. Here is Shogun Mayeda (or Kabuto):

(http://www.subirimagenes.com/otros-journeyofhonormaf701-1576672.html)

20. Leaving Morocco (02:27)
21. On to New Adventures (04:18)

Total Duration: 01:05:46

Best !!!!

The second one is a perfect score for a very bad movie from 1991. I recommend you the listening of this work.

1991? Does not compute.

Sounds good so far.

edit: simply amazing score and I'm only 8 tracks in. Thanks, man.

@JRL3001
You can have some more hugs XD



Woohoo!! :D

I have all of Ma Vlast if you want to hear how the other movements go.

Thanks for your offer.

I already know them as I had the cd years ago, but as I lost it, it would be very welcome to have another recording, especially if yours is a good version too.

Here two of my favourites.

John Scott is not a very known composer however he is one of the best.

It is a pity that composers as Scott or Broughton are composed for subproducts or telefilms nowadays.



Garcia, fantastic posts, as usual. Thank you very much.

Anthony and Cleopatra: Great score, splendid orchestral majesty. Very good choice!

Shogun Mayeda (or Kabuto): Thank you! I lost my copy years ago, so it's very welcome.

How is it possible that John Scott did'nt show up in this thread since now?!? Great orchestral composer, he's also a superb orchestrator and conductor (listen to the way he arranged the Roger Rabbit Suite).

I'll try to post some interesting things about him soon...

Well, i think from now on, i'll show this video to answer that question.

Yes, apparently it's the same for everybody, so having the luck to be able to login now, I send this message to say a big thanks for the latest posts, and I hope the board will be back soon. I have many orchestral pieces to post and many composers to talk about.

See you soon, friends!

Guys, as the board *seems* to be a little bit more accessible now, let's get back to serious business.

First, let's begin by a special composer post I enjoy making and people seem to enjoy too. Thanks to Garcia27, I have the opportunity to talk a bit about this wonderful composer, orchestrator and conductor, rather underrated but extremely talented.



John Scott


His website:
http://webhome.idirect.com/~rlevy/


IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0779346/


From Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Scott_(composer))

"John Scott (b. Patrick John O'Hara Scott, November 1, 1930, Bristol, England) is a British composer and conductor.

John Scott (aka Johnny Scott and Patrick John Scott) is a film composer who has worked with some of the world's foremost producers and directors including Richard Donner, Mark Damon, Hugh Hudson, Norman Jewison, Irvin Kershner, Daniel Petrie, Roger Spottiswoode and Charlton Heston, among others.

Scott has scored over one hundred film and television projects. His film scores include the above-mentioned A Study in Terror (1965), Jules Verne's Rocket to the Moon (1967) and Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984). More recently, his TV work has included incidental music for the ITV series Rosemary and Thyme. Of note are his many scores for films and documentaries by explorer Jacques Cousteau.

He is also active as a classical composer (he has written a symphony, a ballet, 4 string quartets, a guitar concerto and is currently working on an opera) and as a conductor (he has also conducted many the world's finest orchestras, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and several of Europe's leading orchestras, including the Munich Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Budapest Opera Orchestra, the Lubliana Radio Orchestra and the Prague Philharmonic).

Since 2006, John Scott has been the Artistic Director of the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra."


I'll soon post some of his scores in the thread. Also I'll gladly accept the posting of any of his other scores if someone has them.

Here you can find Garcia27's posts. Two awesome scores any orchestral music fan should absolutely try:


Here two of my favourites.

John Scott is not a very known composer however he is one of the best.

It is a pity that composers as Scott or Broughton are composed for subproducts or telefilms nowadays.

The first one is for a movie directed by Charlton Heston, Anthony and Cleopatra (1973), probably between my ten favorite scores ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDUIUCprBck&NR=1

A marvellous video I watched many times. John Williams conducts the orchestra of the Oscars for a beautiful medley of famous Hollywood scores. Just grandiose.


By the way, I was listening to your John Williams compilation. I totally forgot how gorgeous was the theme of The Witches Of Eastwick. If you can, I'd appreciate that you post the whole score, please.

Oh yes. Fantastic video Arthierr. I remember seeing this medley on the oscars that year.
It's glorious.

I'll upload soon the Witches Of Eastwick soundtrack.

Ok so I know these are just video links on youtube. But I thought I would share them with you guys because they are absolutely wonderful performances of some of Joe Hisaishi's music conducted and performed by the man himself! :D I don't know if any of these are available on CD/DVD or not but if anyone knows and they are I would love to hunt down copies.

First is a beautiful performance of my favorite piece from Princess Mononoke, just a quartet performance but so emotional and stunningly played

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtPm5GiJ_iM

And the second one is from a concert that was held in august of this year to commemorate 25 years of Joe Hisaishi and Hayao Miyazaki working together. I would have loved to be at this concert. From the information I have looked up on it they assembled a 200 piece orchestra and 400 person choir! Which is awesomely insane! Sadly I cant yet find more stuff from the concert yet, I am looking, but this is the Nausicaa suite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3nRU7qgilg

Hope you guys enjoy, even though its not an album download :)

*edit....found more parts from the concert :D

oh, that is beautiful indeed, so great and marvelous...*______*
thank you so much for the links, JRL3001 *HUUUUG*

Oh thank you so much, too, Sanico

JRL3001: Great finds! Thanks a lot.

I started to watch them and it's really a grandiose show. Moreover these videos are very welcome in this thread, as I try to cover many aspects related to Orchestral Music, including the great pleasure to see an actual orchestra playing some beautiful music.

By the way, you're right. The size of the orchestra is INSANE. Maybe it's the biggest one I've seen anywhere. These people are crazy - and awefully loaded!


Sanico: thank you very much for this post. I hope the rest of the score is as great as the piece you posted in your pack.

Cool! I was planning to post this score but you've been faster than me. Thank you. :) The main theme of this one is absolutely fantastic.

Also, I'll soon post King Kong, Greystoke and Lionheart by John Scott.

Does someone has any of his scores for documentaries? They would be much appreciated.

Very nice videos, too. They cover a large range of great composers.

@ Everyone

You can get the full 25th anniversary Hisaishi/Miyazaki Ghibli concert, from a torrent Here (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=1186305&postcount=87).
The file for the concert is huge (more than 1,1 GB =-O ), but in the end it's totally worth the time of dowloading.
The concert duration is 1h:43m. And every Hisashi music for a Ghibli anime, gets a concert presentation.
The audio is perfectly clear and the video quality it's 100x times better of the youtube links. Guys, I'm not joking.
Since this was broadcasted by the NHK national Japanese TV channel, the concert most likely won't get a DVD/CD release in the near future.
So until then, this is the best format you can get of the concert.

Apologies of my bad English grammar.

Am so glad you guys are enjoying :)

yay more hugs! *faints*

Woot, Final Countdown :) Thats an awesome soundtrack. I have the re release CD around here somewhere.....

hehe Sanico, I just found that link in the Joe Hisaishi thread and am downloading it right now :D You beat me to posting it here. I can't wait till it's done downloading. I am going to just sit here drooling while I listen to its greatness over and over for about 6 hours once it'd done! :D *passes out*

And here is another Jerry track for this (fantastic) thread.
What i like most on this track, is the way how the chorus slowly grows and reach a climax where the orchestra starts playing the beautiful main theme.



Album: The Secret Of N.I.M.H
Artist: Jerry Goldsmith
Track: The House Raising

Sanico: thank you very much for this post. I hope the rest of the score is as great as the piece you posted in your pack.

Arthierr: The Ballrom Sceme is clearly the highlight of the soundtrack, but The Dance of the Witches is also a very good piece.
Tell us what do you think of the soundtrack Athierr, once you have time to hear the whole thing.

JRL: It will take some time to download this, but in the end it will be rewarding.
Joe Hisaishi + Studio Ghibli = Greatness

Just finished downloading it...watching...oh...yeah....!!!!

and now once I have watched it 5 or so times...I will enact my diabolical plan and extract the audio from the video and make a CD so I can listen to the awesomeness in my car :D

Well i don't know and have no idea how to extract audio, so if you can share your rip of the concert, it will be greatly appreciated by me, and everyone of us here on the board, i suppose, unless doing the rip gave a lot of work to you, and the audio file is to big to be shared.
What happens if you rip audio from a video? Does the quality of the audio decreases on a mp3 file, like an mp3 transcode?

Donno yet. SHOULD come out ok. I have some pretty good video editing software (work with an indie film maker...) so should be able to pull the audio

And yes once I get it set out I WILL share it more than happily!

Edit.

Woot, Final Countdown :) Thats an awesome soundtrack. I have the re release CD around here somewhere.....

The re release CD??? That's very interesting. What about making a rip of it with lame? That would be very much appreciated, thank you in advance.


Donno yet. SHOULD come out ok. I have some pretty good video editing software (work with an indie film maker...) so should be able to pull the audio

Wow, fantastic track! Even includes a choir. And the sound quality is incredible.

By the way Sanico, I just checked in my score list, and I don't have this one! If you can please post the whole score when you have time, that would be very welcome.


Qqqqqqwe: Thanks a lot for Inindo: The Way Of The Ninja. I didn't know it, so I'll listen to it and post some comments later. Looking at the credits list, it clearly includes several common orchestral instruments.

All orchestral fans, go see this thread, an exceptional orchestral score is available there.

Hey guys, might be a bit of an odd request but I'm looking for Claude Delangle's album Under the Sign of the Sun with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (beautiful classical saxophone album), if anybody has it and wants to share it or has seen it somewhere uploaded previously I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction!

Thanks very much

Now that's really one icredible arragement, highly recommended! =)

Maybe I can help. Let's try to do a lossless rip.

What is the format of the video? Can you also tell me the audio format?


The file is in AVI format. I am having a bit of an issue trying to get my program to work on it... I have Sony Sound Forge 8, which has AVI file support but it cannot open or import the file what so ever. I tried several other files of the same format as well to see if it was just the one, but it won't open any of them. The user manual and help file are totally useless, I followed what they said to do to load a video file and it is just not working *grumbles*

The most convenient and widespread (and free!) program to do such rips is VirtualDub http://www.virtualdub.org/

As it's a long time I've done it myself, I'll try to remember the procedure, then I'll do a mini-guide.

For the moment just download the program and open the avi with it. Then go to File > File Information, and it will tell you the audio format.

Tried Virtualdub as well...failed to open the avi file...

gave me the following message.

"Couldn't locate the decompressor for format 'h264' (unknown)

VirtualDub requires a video for windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by windows media player, are not suitable"

You don't have the 'h264' codec installed in your computer, then.

In that case I recommend you download and install an extremely useful and complete codec pack I use since years: K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_Mega_codec_pack.htm

VirtualDub should be ok with this. Also you'll be able to play almost any existing video format.

Can't you just use http://media-convert.com/convert/ ?

Mmh, maybe it would be easier and faster if you only install the x264 Video Codec.

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/x264_Video_Codec.htm



Can't you just use http://media-convert.com/convert/ ?

I don't know this one, but given its name, it seems that it converts the audio. But what we try to do is a lossless rip, without conversion, which would seriously affect the sound quality. Thanks for the tip though.

I see that Jerry Goldsmith likes around here.

These are my Jerry Goldsmith scores. I know that Sanico has a lot, however maybe my list is different or has works that Sanico's doesn't.

If you want some you can tell me. Sorry, but my list are these captures from my computer:

That's really great, I'll keep looking aswell, will post if I come across it

Garcia, your Goldsmith collection is impressive.
It will be great for the joy of this thread, if you share some of your favorite tracks, not only by Goldsmith, but also for every composer or soundtrack you like.
So then all the followers of this thread, can discuss and comment about the music and discover new gems.

Garcia, can i ask you what's the bitrate of your Fierce Creatures soundtrack?
Mine is only at 128k.

Garcia, can i ask you what's the bitrate of your Fierce Creatures soundtrack?

The bitrate of my files is only 160k. Sorry It is not the best.

I uploaded one of the best scores that I have ever listened. This belongs to the movie Ogniem I Mieczem (With Fire And Sword), a production from Poland and its composer is Krzesimir Debski. The polish composers have a great tradition, unlucky I don't have too many scores but this one is incredible:

These are two themes of this work:

It is probable that this score is in another post arorund the forum, however last week I watched this movie and it is lovely, at least I enjoyed. It is a movie from Studio Ghibli and the director is Gorō Miyazaki (you know who is his father). In this case the composer was Tamiya Terashima and his work is tremendous.

Again I don't know if this has been uploaded in the forum.

Probably the best score of Patrick Doyle was the first. Of course Doyle has great works as Much Ado About Nothing, Frankenstein, Hamlet, etc.

But this Henry V (1989) is a true master piece.

The first piece is a little melodramatic for my tastes. It's not a bad composition, but it's not a kind of music i usually like to listen.
I enjoyed much more the second track, which is a good piece of "battle" music.
Somehow, save for a few exceptions, Polish composers are somewhat unknown to me, so it's nice to listen unheard music once in a while

Does someone by now, has successfully extracted the audio of the Hisaishi concert?

Thanks for checking, PetPet.

AVI-Mux is a good alternative to Virtualdub for this kind of task. But I wonder if it'll accept to open the avi if no h264 codec is present.

By the way, as you seem to have the video, the tools and the knowledge, why wouldn't you please extract the audio and make it available for all of us? It would be very much appreciated.

I was able to extract the audio of this video using virtual dub 1.6.19 (build 24478/release).

Now I have a wav file that can be easily convert to mp3.

Best.

Garcia27: Awesome posts! Thank you again. :)

I'm not at all used to polish composers. So the posting of With Fire And Sword is very welcome. It's one of the things I try to do here: introduce lesser known but talented composers. I'll listen to it and post some comments later.

By the way, do you have this score by any chance?
GEORGE AND THE DRAGON Music composed by GAST WALTZING (2007)

Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea): this one was on my listening queue since a long time. I wonder if the music is as great as Hisaishi's one for Miyazaki.

Henry V: I'm fond of the music of Patrick Doyle. I even uploaded a pack of selected highlights of his music, in the post I quote underneath. This score isn't my favorite from him (I prefer Frankenstein and Igor) but it's a very good score anyway, and the choral parts are really superb. Thanks again!

Here's my post about Doyle.

(http://imageshack.us)
Patrick Doyle

From Wikipedia:

"Patrick Doyle (born April 6, 1953, Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, Scotland) is an Academy Award nominated Scottish musician and film score composer. His collaboration with Kenneth Branagh and the Shakespearean community is well known, but his scoring talents are versatile, and he has composed orchestral scores for a variety of films and film genres, from Disney's Shipwrecked to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In the latter half of the 1990s, he utilised a combination of synthesizers, chorus, and solo vocals, along with a traditional orchestra."

My personal opinion:

Doyle is a true master of the symphonic form. He knows how to use an orchestra, and does it masterfully. His music is powerful, nervous, very thematic, and has a unique style quite recognizable once used to it (for instance the frequent use of high strings ostinatos, wich I enjoy extremely).

I started being interested in his music after having seen Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994, directed by Kenneth Branagh). The music was extremely good, but excessive, it was too powerful and loud in the movie. Fortunately, the listening of the album was more enjoyable. Doyle wrote a dark, haunting, highly dramatic score for this movie, I consider it as a masterpiece, and it stands as one of the best scores I've heard. Both cues I've included in the pack are my favourites: To think of a story is an absolutely fascinating cue, with its somber and menacing theme, announcing the tragic turn of events further in the story. The Creation is one of the most striking, effective and blood-pumping action cue I've heard.


Patrick Doyle - A Little Princess - Christina Elisa Waltz
Patrick Doyle - Eragon - Eragon
Patrick Doyle - Frankenstein - The Creation
Patrick Doyle - Frankenstein - To think of a story
Patrick Doyle - Great Expectations - Kissing In The Rain
Patrick Doyle - Indochine - The Thunder Storm
Patrick Doyle - Much Ado About Nothing - Overture

I recommend to anybody interested in the slightest bit in great orchestral music to listen to this compilation. I tried to choose some interesting highlights in many of his scores, hope you'll enjoy them (I sure do!).

I was able to extract the audio of this video using virtual dub 1.6.19 (build 24478/release).

Now I have a wav file that can be easily convert to mp3.

Best.

Thank you. The problem is that if we re-encode the wav, the sound quality will be seriously affected. So it would be better if someone could use AVI-Mux to directly extract the mp3 stream without re-encoding.

hey, does anyone happen to have a link to the "I Am Legend" soundtrack? its by James Newton Howard

The music made the movie for me (:

Generally this kind of request is more to be done in the score hunt thread, but here's the score anyway:

I Am Legend {James Newton Howard} 2008

Ho ho it was a codec issue. The copy of K-lite on my laptop is about 3 days newer than the one on my desktop and so sound forge was abke to properly extract the audio from the avi file :) Tomorrow (being my first day off from work in a long time!) I will be spending extracting the full audio track and cleaning it up and separating it into tracks for each piece of music :)

Here is the test that I got last night. First piece, the Nausicaa suite recorded of course at the highest quality :)

Expect a full version in the next 48 hours

Thanks for your efforts.

An important question, though:

Did you re-encode the audio, or did you just extract it without changing anything (no conversion)?

Extracted the mp3 without changing. There was no conversion from one file type to another.

Ah, good, then.

I tried your sample, sounds good. Well done! Looking forward for the full rip.

By the way, if you manage to find your cd of the Final Countdown, a rip would be very welcome. ;)

Cant wait to share the full thing with ya guys :)

hehe I think Final Countdown can be arranged as well :)

That's fantastic JRL.
I really appreciate all your hard work, to make this avaiable for everyone.

Good evening gentlemen and ladies,
Apologies for my absence - I was on holiday in Germany (via France and Belgium) for the Linz, Bonn, and Siegburg Christmas markets (which were absolutely beautiful) and so have been unable to post. I'm back home now and will be making some seasonal contributions within the next few days. :)

INcidentally, the Ghibli concert mentioned earlier - anybody else having problems with that torrent from Badongo? I download the torrent but every torrent manager I try to open it with claims the torrent is corrupted. Thoughts?

Bye for now,
D

Strange, the torrent posted at the Hisaishi thread, doesn't work for me neither.

Welcome back, my friend. :) I Hope you had some nice holydays.

Lately the thread has been a lot about Jerry Goldsmith (even more than usual). With you, Sanico and Garcia, this thread becomes a bit the home of Jerry Goldsmith's HUGE fans!

Is it possible to get the whole score to this?

By the way, Sascha's Serious Stroll (Steve Edwards) is very beautiful, professionally composed, and played by a real orchestra, which is not so frequent for some trailer music.

Do you have the full album? And if so, could you please upload it for us, Billie?

The Betrayer and the Sun King is also very good, bravo! Very epic and powerful, partly inspired by some classical pieces too.

What the... ?!!?

Goisles01, I was expecting from you some quality posts, but this is far beyond my expectations. This is just amazing!

It is quite a wonderful selection of tasteful pieces you just posted. I know some of them, and some not, so I bet it'll be a good surprise for my ears.

I also particularly appreciate the fact that you took the time to select and compile YOUR favorite music, what YOU consider as marvellous highlights.

Thank you very much for this HUGE contribution, it's really very much appreciated! :)

Goisles, what a great compilation you have made.
You have compiled in these 4 discs, some of the best tunes of the last thirty years or so, of film music.

Bravo =)

I like the compilations, and the one of goisles01 is very good.

I am downloading it.

Thanks a lot.

What the... ?!!?

Goisles01, I was expecting from you some quality posts, but this is far beyond my expectations. This is just amazing!

It is quite a wonderful selection of tasteful pieces you just posted. I know some of them, and some not, so I bet it'll be a good surprise for my ears.

Thank You for the kind words brothers. I've loved film music since I first heard Star Wars (1977) when I was 6. The first cassette I ever bought was William's E.T. I feel, though, I have to slap myself silly for a GLARING omission I have made. I forgot to include Goldsmith's "The Enterprise" (Star Trek: The Motion Picture). I love that piece. It's when Scotty first brings Kirk to the Refitted Enterprise, from when they leave the spaceport to when they dock on the Enterprise after a flyby. Goldsmith also used a variation in a different arrangement to close the film amidst a star field before the end titles. That still gives me chills. Im probably going to make another one to correct it. Oh and by the way, by the comments from some posters, im glad to see Im not crazy by hearing The Wrath of Khan in almost all of James Horner's compositions...except maybe Braveheart, but definitely in Cocoon. There was a whole section from "Genesis Countdown" in the chase out to sea piece.:)

Wecome to the club! :)

Yes, most people here are like you. We discovered movie music during late 70's or early 80's when we were very young.

The movies who gave me this virus were Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Krull. Unforgettable emotions...

And you very well understood the purpose of this thread, it's not only about posting music, it's also about talking of it and learning from others.

Hope you'll have a nice stay.

Other author that I like is the great Bill Conti, his music is very powerful. The most of people only know him thanks to his works in Rocky movies or TV soap operas.

However he is plenty of good pieces, Karate Kid, Masters Of The Universe, The Right Stuff and per example the great North and South.

Today I am going to upload one of my Conti's favorites. Escape to victory, a kind of belic movie (lets see The Great Escape) combined with the world of soccer. In this movie we can find to Sylvester Stallone (the favorite actor of Conti, je, je), the great Michael Caine and of course the best player of soccer ever, Pele playing a game against the Germans during the II World War.

Give the chance to this work, for me is marvelous.

Fantastic! You're giving me the opportunity to talk about Bill Conti, very talented composer, mastering many music styles.

After having posted the John Scott scores I mentioned, I'll do some post about him.

Thanks a lot, Garcia. Happy holydays, and see you soon, mate. :)

I LOVED this movie! I can still see Max Von Sydows (Nazi Commandant) face as the French fans burst out, spontaneously, with the Les Marseilles acapella after the Allies mounted a rally. You can almost feel the stadium shaking! :)

Enjoy!!

A couple of notes:
1. The Chase (Cocoon), I believe has a sequence in there that is note for note from "Genesis Countdown" from Star Trek II
2. The Hunted "Main Theme" has ALOT of dead air in the beginning, then picks up with the percussion and Taiko drumming. I think this is intentional.
3. "Knives and Bullets" from V for Vendetta climaxes with the War of 1812 Overture where there are explosions in the background.
4. "End Credits" from We Were Soldiers has a Scottish lament running through the middle. This mournful song heard during some of the battle sequences and the aftermath is called Sgt. MacKenzie. An account of a Scottish soldier who fought in similar carnage, it was written by his descendant, Joseph Kilna MacKenzie. It was chosen for the film by Mel Gibson and Randall Wallace due to its haunting, desolate sound, of men prepared to stand their ground in battle for family and friends.

Here are the lyrics: (from Wikipedia)

Scots Tongue

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid

Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears

Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me

Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

English Translation

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I'll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a German's gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone

Thanks a lot, Billie! ^^ That's a very rare album. If you had'n't posted it, that would have been quite a miss for all of us, so it's very much appreciated, because the music is really beautiful.


goisles01: Bravo for these new 2 cds of pure awesomeness. Once, again, only the cream of the crop of Hollywood Movie Music. Maybe if you have time later (no hurry, it will take a lot of time for us to listen to these 6 cds!), you could post a compilation of your favorite anime music, as you seem to have an extended knowledge and collection in it too.

Hey, I was wondering when you'll post something at last in this thread. Welcome to you, mate. :)

By the way, as I really appreciated your last Kotaro Nakagawa posts, I'd like to promote them a bit:

Everybody, here's 2 nice scores from Kotaro Nakagawa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotaro_Nakagawa), a great anime music composer. I recommend both of them, because they're very good (please just forget the few "borrowings" to Rocketeer and Titanic in Dramatic Baseball), and because they have this typical energetic, brassy orchestral sound I enjoy so much in his music.

Thanks a lot to Sirusjr for uploading these brand new ost.

Man, thats a good idea! Thanx for the assignment! It will be time consuming because except for Yamato or Gatchaman or Captain Harlock, I am more familiar with the very catchy J-pop tunes my son (he's 5) and I sing around the house to. A lot of anime scores are based on Rock or Pop than Orchestra.

sorry, only one track
Sascha's Serious Stroll (http://www.sendspace.com/file/hxp9yv), composed by Steve Edwards -> bright, mysterious, cheerful, merry (Trailermusic)

This is a really awesome piece of music! :D

Right, so it took a few days to get done. But here it is. The 2008 Studio Ghibli concert. I have pulled the individual pieces of music and set them in their own tracks. Intentions for this is to make a CD I can listen to in my car while driving to work :P But if anyone would like the full audio track including the dialog between the pieces please let me know and I will upload it :)



http://www.sendspace.com/file/p0uhcn

Hehe thanks arthierr. I share kotaro nakagawa stuff mostly because he is one of my favorite anime composers behind yuki kajiura.

Also jrl3001 you are awesome that is exactly what i was hoping someone would make.

EDIT: Before anyone asks, I don't really pay attention to single tracks in soundtracks very much so i doubt i'll make a collection of individual songs very soon.

Once again, posting in the download links section would be a good idea. Here's a suggestion of title:

[NHK] Joe Hisaishi - Studio Ghibli Concert 2008 (HQ rip)

Also, if you wish, you can include in your thread the link to the Direct Download rar pack kindly provided by dannyfrench. This way people will have the cd and the video in the same place:

Ha ha, very cute. ^^

I must precise though that I meant orchestral anime music, as it is the speciality of this thread.

You can post whatever you want. People here have been posting all kind of stuff: single tracks, compilations, full scores, videos, or just interesting comments. The sole requirement is that it must be about orchestral music.

Thank you very much for your hard work on the Hisaishi concert, JRL.
I'm listening to it right now, thanks to you.

Hi guys, like I said before, there are tools that allow editing MP3 files without reencoding. ;)

Greetings

Here is something different for today.
I merged all the tracks from the sea battle of Ben-Hur (Rhino 2 CD soundtrack), and created a single track with them.
Some of those tracks from the original CD, have a less than a minute of total duration, so listening all the tracks together gives you a better listening experience.

The original tracks are:
29. Roman Galley
30. Salute for Arrius (extended version)
31. Quintus Arrives (extended version)
32. Roman Fleet (extended version)
33. The Galley (Rowing of the Galley Slaves), Parts 1-4
34. Rest (extended version)
35. Battle Preparations, Parts 1 & 2
36. The Pirate Fleet
37. Attack! (extended version)
38. Ramming Speed!
39. The Battle, Parts 1, 2 & 3
40. Rescue
41. Roman Sails
42. The Rowers
43. Victory, Parade, Parts 1 & 2



Sea Battle & Victory Parade (http://rapidshare.com/files/173952119/Sea_Battle___Victory_Parade.rar)

Hi guys, like I said before, there are tools that allow editing MP3 files without reencoding. ;)

Greetings

Yes, there are. :)
But i think the problem was dealing with the issue of extracting the audio of a avi file, without reencode the final mp3 file.

Avi is just a container that contains different media streams. Avimux Gui extracts video- or audio streams without reencoding.

Interesting. I don't know this composer at all, neither these albums. Thank you for bringing something new. I'll listen to this score and post some comments after listening.

Sanico: Thanks for this nice post, now we can listen to this whole scene in one track, without interruption.

A question: how did you merged the tracks?

----------


Hi guys, like I said before, there are tools that allow editing MP3 files without reencoding. ;)

Greetings

No problem. JRL made a lossless rip, as he extracted the stream without re-encoding it.

Our good friend Mr Garcia has posted the tracklisting from the expanded, remastered edition of this score... and posted the horrific bootleg version from a few years ago! ;)

Think the remastered edition was released by Prometheus if memory serves.

And definitely Shostakovich all over it... The finale is absolute plagiarism, from the man who claims directly never, EVER, ***EVER*** to plagiarise. Well done matey, you've taken the entire final two minutes of the symphony, inserted an extra note here and there for thematic consistency, played it a bit faster, and whored it off as an original film score.

Gentleman, I would like to bring the following exhibit of evidence before the court:

http://sharebee.com/bc7eee78

0:00 to 0:46 - Mr Conti
0:46 to end - Mr Shostakovich (finale, Symphony No 5, 4th movement)

Oh, poo - you beat me by three minutes! ;)

Arthierr im ashamed of you. I posted the awesome mongol ost a while ago but if you like this one i'll post up the osts for Mongol, The Promise, Year of the Wolf, and Mother of Mine that i have. I bought the cds for each of them because he is so awesome.
