Please add me to the list. Movie scores are the new classical compositions. I do miss the classic tv themes from the ‘80s from folks like Mike Post.
You’ve been added :)
Re: “Movie scores are the new classical compositions.”
I totally agree with you. As far as orchestral music goes, film scores are where the great pieces of music are found today. My favorite from James Horner is the score to “Glory”. I love how he combines the beautiful high lyrical sounds of a boys choir with the full orchestra. Absolutely magnificent in the charge on Ft. Pillow.
And, whether you like “Titanic” or not, it was the film score that gave the movie an impact. Without the score that movie wouldn’t have had the appeal it did. The screen play of that film was horrendous - some of the stupidest dialogue I have ever heard. It was the cinematography and the film score together that made that film work.
A great loss to the music world.
