Music to excite and thrill.  It comes in full orchestral color.  It comes in small instrumental combinations.  The subjects range from nuclear aircraft carriers going back through time warps to boy and dog hopelessly lost in the wilderness.

The music tells of the love and devotion between Agba and Sham. It sings out for the boy who could not speak. It tells of their difficult, nigh impossible journey to England. It cries out for their pain when they are separated from each other. Agba goes to prison and Sham becomes acarthorse. It rejoices at their reunion and celebrates their victories. This is a vividly colorful and emotional score.

Hopelessly lost in the forests of British Columbia, survival is difficult. Yellow Dog leads Angus back to civilization then tumbles thousands of feet into the raging waters and rocks below. There can be no chance of survival for Yellow Dog. Now safely restored to his family, Angus mourns the loss of his best friend. The weeks pass. Then one morning Angus senses something. There is something in the distance. As the something gets nearer the music builds. Yellow Dog has returned. The impassioned music brings tears of joy to the eyes.

The main theme has a touch of the Caribbean. The Desert Island theme betrays a touch of Hawaiian. A dark and menacing pirate theme permeates the score. Young love themes emerge when Shane falls in love with a wild girl. A crazy barn dance accompanies the family’s futile attempt to catch wild turkeys. Big Red, a most engaging orangutan, has his own special theme. This is action adventure music at its best.

Starring : Jane Seymour, David Carradine

The beauty of the Irish countryside is a prime element in the music score, but there is also a fair share of dark dramatic skullduggery. Love flourishes between Kate Maguire and Kevin Doherty while Doherty and Shergar are relentlessly pursued by the IRA. A superlative action adventure music score.

Starring : Ian Holm, Mickey Rourke
