Winter People.mp3
 jscd 102    Winter People
   

Set in North Carolina Winter People is a character study of a community at the time of "The Great Depression" involving a widower and his daughter who become involved in a long standing feud between two families.

Starring : Kurt Russell, Kelly McGillis, Lloyd Bridges

Directed by Ted Kotcheff

   
   
 
William the Conqueror.mp3
jscd 110   William the Conqueror
 

"William the Conqueror" was cast as a historic drama of epic proportion.

Three categories were drawn upon for the composition of the score. (1) Authentically researched eleventh century music for choir, (2) music for period instruments, and (3) contemporary symphonic film music. William and Matilda have their highly romantic theme. William the Conqueror has his towering theme, and the period music is presented as if it were performed live at William’s court at Rouen.

You cannot fail to be inspired by this most moving and exciting score.

 
   
 
The Shooting Party.mp3
jscd 113    The Shooting Party
 

A truly classical film score starting with the oboe solo of the "Main Title," climaxing through "The Competition" and moving on to the utter sadness of "The Consequence." The drama and beauty of this score should bring tears to your eyes. Note in particular the charm of "Spanish Dance" and "Nettleby Polka."

Starring : James Mason, Edward Fox

 
   
 
The Lucona Affair.mp3
jscd 116  The Lucona Affair
 

Vienna, City of Dreams, is the location where the "Lucona Affair" took place. Johann Strauss Junior and Senior have to find their way into the music. The "Main Title" is a poignant soaring theme. The music for the investigative journalism is tinged with a jazz feel. The music reflects the drama of the story. You will probably detect a feeling of "The Godfather" here and there. Of course, the Mafia has to be involved.

Starring : David Suchet, Jurgen Prochnow

 
   
 
Antony and Cleopatra.mp3
jscd 128   Antony and Cleopatra
 

The beauty and splendor of Shakespeare’s dialogue coupled with the most poignant of ill-fated love stories were inspiration for John Scott’s powerful movie score. The mighty Roman Army, Caesar’s relentless hunting down of Antony, Antony’s impetuous love affair with Cleopatra all find their individual voices in the music of Antony & Cleopatra. The strings cry out in anguish. The brass threatens, while the woodwind entreats. The orchestration is truly masterful. This score is a proven favorite among film music enthusiasts as well as classical music lovers.

Starring : Charlton Heston
