THE BIG ORCHESTRAL ACTION MUSIC THREAD!

[Sirusjr]

Yeah i didn't mean to say there was any real reason why 128 should be used when 192+vbr sounds way better and is still much smaller than 320 (if trying to fit on a small portable media player everything counts.

Anyways, your uploading that phillip glass track reminded me that I was looking for some recommendations of his music. I REALLY like The Illusionist but other than that i never really listened to his scores but I hear he is a genius.

[JRL3001]

Sirusjr- I have 2 cd's of Philip Glass's classical music. If you are interested I can upload them for you? Pretty interesting stuff. And I agree his soundtrack for the Illusionist was grand

[tangotreats]

I have to encode music for my mother's mobile phone at 32kbps WMA... Now THAT sounds bad... Point completely taken.

As far as Philip Glass goes, if you like, I can put together a little compilation. I absolutely adore his Violin Concerto - it's absolutely sublime. Tirol Concerto (for piano) is magnificent too. The Heroes symphony is a lot of fun - Glass wrote a symphony based upon the music of David Bowie. It's a weird combination but it works.

Film music wise, the Illusionist is gorgeous. I also like The Hours - a score with a special place in my heart.

To be honest it's hard to recommend anything from the guy, because (with only a handful of exceptions...)

a) It's all bloody brilliant
b) It all sounds the same (though I don't mean this in a derogatory sense - only to say that his style is *VERY* consistent and *VERY* recognisable)

So if you like one, you'll like them all!

[Sirusjr]

Sounds great guys, whatever you have that is excellent please.

[arthierr]

JRL3001 and Dannyfrench: Thanks for the Ape and Mp3 versions respectively. Banner and Crest of the stars are some very nice scores with a fabulous main theme (although rather repetitive in the osts).

I have both Crest of the Stars in good quality (192k, I believe), but as I have this habit to get rid of the tracks I'm not interested in albums, they're only partial (only the tracks I like).

Also I'm very interested too by a compilation of highlights from Phillip Glass. Not very used to his music, this could be the occasion to try it further.

Just a note.

I saw you use Lame 3.89Alpha from the year 2001. Lame made big improvements since then, I suggest you update to current Lame 3.98.2.

I also uploaded some tracks I find extremely enjoyable.

Tracklist:

Trevor Jones ~ Age of Magic ~ Merlin OST
Merlin is probably one of the most underrated films I have ever came by. The movie itself is a masterpiece which is IMHO even better than LOTR Trilogy! And the soundtrack is also very nice, this song particularly.

Yasunori Mitsuda (well, original somposer, this one is arragement) ~ Chrono Trigger ~ Chrono Trigger Orchestra Extra
Originally posted by GameGuy444 in [Hidden link. Register to see links.], I just converted to mp3. Well, it's Chrono Trigger Theme Song performed by real orchestra, so can it really be bad? No, but this one's just AMAZING arragement! And the original is my favourite song of all-time.

Toshihiko Sakaki ~ Opening - Unmei no Tobira Akareru Koku ~ Symphony SEED Destiny
Gundam SEED Destiny is one of my favourite anime series and this song just rocks. I think it's performed by London Symphony Orchestra, but I'm really not sure...

Brian Tyler ~ Summon the Worms ~ Children of Dune OST
A superb piece! Grand, epic and powerful, can a film music fan wish for more?

Stuart Catwood ~ Opening ~ Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones OST
The entire score is absolutely fantastic and has a nice, martial feeling in it. Definitely worth listening.

Richard Beddow ~ Prologue ~ VIKING: Battle for Asgard OST
VIKING: BFA is one of the most mind-blowing scores in game music history. Entire soundtrack performed by a real choir + orchestra with some epic battle themes in it. And this one is a perfect intro to the game.

Trevor Jones ~ Griffins ~ Merlin OST
Nice action cue from an excellent soundtrack.

Taro Iwashiro ~ Chapter XI - Truth of War ~ Onimusha 2 Orchestra Album
This one is actually a suite, all main melodies from the game put together.

Richard Beddow ~ Hel's Fortress Battle ~ VIKING: Battle for Asgard OST
And here we a perfect example for epic battle theme. Choir just makes the atmosphere incredible!

Joe Hisaishi ~ The Legend of Ashitaka ~ Mononoke Hime OST
Joe Hisaishi is absolutely one of the best Japanese composers I have ever heard of. This songs, as well as the entire soundtrack, is performed by a HUGE orchestra and choir.

Nobuo Uematsu ~ Scene VII - FF 2 Rebel Army's Theme ~ Final Fantasy Symphonic Suite
Well, it's not an ACTION cue, but I still want to include it in my compilation. Incredible song with strong strings and choir.

Download link (Sharebee): [Hidden link. Register to see links.]

Enjoy! ; )

Oh, and I also "composed" a new orchestral piece for a story project that I am working with. Here: [Hidden link. Register to see links.]
Although it is a Finnish site, just click the play button.

Very nice choices, Elemental Eye. Thanks for this tasteful selection.

Merlin: wonderful ost, IMO one of Trevor Jones' best scores. Despite the presence of some boring underscore parts, the highlights are exceptional. I already said that, but 7:49 of 'Age Of Magic' is one of the most impressive cues I've heard since Krull.

Chrono Trigger Main Theme: what is remarkable with is orchestra arrangement is that it fully respects the original Super Nintendo piece, which is indeed a very inspired piece. For his very first score Yasunori Mitsuda really did a "Coup de Maître"!

Opening - Unmei no Tobira Akareru Koku ~ Symphony SEED Destiny: now I hope everybody understands why this guy is my favorite eastern composer. And this is only a very small part of his gigantic production. This piece should be taught in musical schools.

Summon The Worms: for his first big-scale score, Tyler made some important efforts for creating a great original score. The result isn't too bad, isn't it? This piece sounds like Horner at some points.

Viking Battle for Asgard: Very impressive score for a game. I point out that you posted the full score [Hidden link. Register to see links.], for those interested.

Onimusha 2 Medley: although it's very good, with some quite epic and powerful parts, several cues reminds me of other scores, even if I don't reminds which ones right now. Anyway, great suite.

Prince of Persia: the beautiful oriental ambience is very enjoyable in this one. Great epic and dramatic piece.


Now about your own composition (no need of quotation marks, you did compose it), it begins in a sort of asian ambience, then it reminds me a bit of Chrono Trigger. It's really good, well written and nicely orchestrated, but way too short! You should make it a 3-4 minute song (also maybe slightly reduce the volume of the background strings while the chinese flute plays the melody).

Thanks for posting! I'm eager to liten to your next creations, please post them when they're done.

[arthierr]

Ho, what a lovely subject of compilation, Billie! You know it's very special to me, don't you?

Thank you very much for this nice original compilation, it's a great idea. I'll post some comments after listening.

hehehe, yes, i know, therefore this compilation X3

[Sirusjr]

Billie, that collection of yours is amazing.

Black Beauty Main Titles – Fabulous piece with a relaxing melody and beautiful orchestration. Great choice!

Flicka – Beautiful somber piece if a bit slow for my liking but it picks up near the end.

Chicken Run – A heroic piece with a magical feel to it, again fantastic choice!

Andre – A fabulous inspiring piece of work that touches me deeply. I am very glad you put this one in.

Eight Below – Another excellent choice!! Such a rousing call to glory.

Dieses Land – Beautiful piece, great choice!! Has sadness along with its sense of triumph.

Seabiscuit – beautiful track that instills a peaceful serenity like a slow walk on a country road with your family.

I only included comments on the absolute best but all of the tracks are awesome.

I absolutely adored the pieces from Andre and Eight below. If it is not too much trouble could you please upload the full albums of those two?

[Billie781]

Thank you so much for the sweet comments to my compilation, sirusjr
no, it is not too much trouble, i'm glad, that you like it.
i upload the two soundtrack tomorrow

My question is whether or not anyone has it in a higher bitrate than was previously uploaded...128kb/s hardly does this music justice.

I'd really appreciate it if someone with the original CD could make a highe bitrate rip for me.

Thank you in advance!

Guess what, I've found a MPC VBR version. The quality is extremely high, close to lossless.

As I agree that this score is truly fantastic, I'll post it ASAP.

[Mathazzar]

THANK YOU! You're the best, Arthierr! I posted in the film score hunt thread as well but everyone just ignored me. :P

I just recently finished a mix that I've been asked to put up on OCRemix.org (it's a Halo theme remix of sorts, which is funny since I don't really like Halo) but I'll probably share it here before it goes live on OC, because I expect fans of Halo and action music in general will appreciate it.

I'll keep my eyes on here for the Ogniem i Mieczem soundtrack in here — thanks again!

Thanks a lot Garcia27!!
The first of those 3 is very relaxing and has a number of solid choral tracks and my favorite pop opera type on a few at the end. I'll post some impressions of the other 2 in a bit and a little something from myself.

[Sirusjr]

Something special for everyone. I uploaded this a while ago in the film score vgm hunt thread and didn't get much reaction so you guys get to listen to it.

Perfume The Story of a Murderer Academy Promo - Tom Tykwer, Reinhold Heil, and Johnny Kilmek (320kbps)

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

This is a score from my personal collection I got lucky enough to find at Comic-Con last year. It is longer and has more tracks than the retail version and is still 100% beautiful. Anyone who downloaded my packs will remember a track from here and there are MANY more like it. For anyone else, this track is relaxing orchestral with a number of beautiful female arias. This is my all time favorite score so when I saw it i bought it instantly. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to download this and give it a listen because it is a wonderful score.

EDIT: I forgot to include stuff about Tykwer as a composer and director.
It is certainly unusual for a film director to co-compose the film score for a movie he is directing. Especially in a case like this, where the movie is a multi-million-Dollar blockbuster production like "The Perfume". In Tom Tykwers' movies, the film score always has top priority. In the beginning of his film career there was simply no budget for a professional score composer, therefore he had no alternative but to compose the music himself.

He has been working together with Reinhold Heil and Johnny Klimek since the production of "Winter Sleep" in 1996. This trio, named "Pale 3" had their first worldwide success with "Lola Runs", which received numerous international awards. The trio contributed the song "In Your Head" to the soundtrack for "The Matrix: Revolution".

Recently they faced the demanding challenge of scoring the soundtrack for "The Perfume". For this movie the music had to be classical. The Brandenburg Symphonic Orchestra already had recorded the complete soundtrack in 2005, but the trio decided to re-record the complete score again in 2006 with one of the leading orchestras in the world: The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, this orchestra is definitely one of the best addresses when it comes to classical music. And the music is of special importance in this movie: All the odours of 18th-century-Paris had to become "smellable" through the music. And the movie shows in a very convincing way that they were truly successful.

Thanks to Garcia27 for giving me the opportunity to talk a bit about Georges Delerue, a very prolific composer in in the 60-80's.



Georges Delerue

Also, if you want to go deeper in the knowledge and understanding of his music, I suggest you read this collection of words from the composer:
[Hidden link. Register to see links.]


[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

Georges Delerue (March 12, 1925 Roubaix – March 20, 1992 Los Angeles) was a renowned French film composer who composed over 350 scores for cinema and television. He won numerous important awards including Rome Prize (1949), Emmy Award (1968 - Our World), Genie Award (1986 - Sword Of Gideon), ACE Award (1991 - The Josephine Baker Story) and Academy Award in 1979 for A Little Romance and 4 other Academy Nominations (1969 - Anne of the Thousand Days, 1973 - The Day of the Dolphin, 1977 - Julia and 1985 - Agnes of God).

Le Figaro (France, 1981) referred to him as the "Mozart of cinema" (Georges Delerue le Mozart des salles obscures), and Delerue was the first and perhaps the only composer to win 3 consecutive Cesar Awards (1979 - Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, 1980 - Love on the Run and 1981 - The Last Metro) plus 5 other Cesar Nominations (1977 - Le Grand Escogriffe and Police Python 357, 1983 - La Passante, 1984 - L'été Meurtrier and 1993 Dien Bien Phu). Georges Delerue was a Commander of Arts and Letters, one of France's highest honours.

His career was diverse and he composed frequently for major avant-garde directors, most often François Truffaut, but also for Jean-Luc Godard's film Contempt, and for Alain Resnais, Louis Malle, and Bernardo Bertolucci, besides working on several Hollywood productions like Oliver Stone's Platoon and Salvador.

He composed the music for Flemming Flindt's ballet, Enetime (The Lesson), based on Ionesco's play, La Leçon. During his 42 years career he put his talent to the service of nearly 200 feature movies, 125 short ones, 70 TV films and 35 TV serials. According to many testimonies he would do and redo some cues to fit the new editing of a sequence without any protestation. He insisted to be allowed to orchestrate and conduct himself in order to polish every detail. Georges Delerue was extraordinarily gifted for melody and at creating surrounding overtones which encapsulated the spirit of the movies for which he collaborated, enhancing them often beyond the expectations of their directors.

Georges Delerue died from a heart attack at the age of 67, just after the recording of the last cue for the soundtrack to Rich In Love. He is buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.



Here's the nice compilation posted by Garcia27. Highly recommended!

Information to the Movie Andre (Wikipedia)

Andre is a 1994 feature film starring Tina Majorino and is about a child's encounter with a seal. The film is an adaptation of the book A Seal Called Andre which was based on a true story.

Plot

Toni Whitney, a nine-year-old girl, and her Rockport, Maine family adopt an orphaned baby seal, naming it Andre. Andre is manageable when he is young but as Andre gets older and starts getting into mischief, he antagonizes some of the local fishermen. Toni forms an inseparable bond with Andre and their relationship becomes threatened when the fishermen do not want to deal with Andre's antics any longer.

Information to the Composer Bruce Rowland (Wikipedia)

Bruce Rowland is a well-known Australian composer. He composed the soundtrack for the 1982 movie "The Man from Snowy River", as well as the soundtrack for its 1988 sequel "The Man from Snowy River II" (which has the United States title of "Return to Snowy River", and the United Kingdom title of "The Untamed"). Both films were based on Banjo Paterson's poem The Man from Snowy River.

He also composed a special Olympics version of the main theme of The Man from Snowy River Suite, as well as conducting the orchestra, for the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics which were held in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Bruce Rowland also composed special arrangements of some of his music for the 2002 musical theatre production "The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular" (which toured Australian capital cities — twice). The Original Cast Album of the show won the ARIA Award for Best Cast / Show Album). In 2003, Bruce Rowland won the ARIA Award for his score for the musical
