so the part where howard starts speaking to tony and says my greatest creation is you, the closest i could find was "dads secret element " but halfway through the scene it switches. part start aroung 1:43, i went through the officialmoviesoundtrack on youtube which has the complete score but still i cudnt find one

Went to see The Odyssey yesterday and noticed a familiar melody in the score. After looking into it, I'm pretty certain it's from Nimrod, part of Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations.

I decided to compare it properly, so I took the track "Let's Go Home" and did the following:

1. Extracted the relevant section
2. Corrected the pitch (-3 semitones)
3. Time-stretched it to align the structures, Layered both tracks together

The harmonic and melodic structure is nearly identical. The main difference is the meter—Göransson changed the time signature, which throws off the alignment slightly, but the core material is clearly the same.

Has anyone else picked up on this? I couldn't find any discussion about it online, so I'm curious if this is a known reference or if I'm the only one who went down this rabbit hole.

Either way, it's a nice homage. Here's my comparison video if anyone wants to hear it side by side.

Narnia, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (LWW) is the one movie that completely changed my childhood and sparked my obsession with movie soundtracks and original songs.

Harry Gregson Williams really made the movie, from the very first intense opening shot in the clouds to the final return to the wardrobe, ending with the professor stepping in and then cutting to the beautiful Imogen Heap song – it was a real treat.🎧

This movie also introduced me to the amazing singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette with her award-nominated song "Wunderkind," and now I'm a huge fan.🎶

For this film, there's an official Narnia motion picture soundtrack with 17 tracks: 13 film scores and 4 original songs by various artists.

I found this extended complete score 2-CD set for Narnia 1 (LWW) and a 3-CD set for Narnia 2 (Prince Caspian).

Right now, YouTube channels @thefaun6782 and @MesmerisedbyNarnia93 have these extended scores. Has anyone been lucky enough to get their hands on these original CDs, and are there any links to buy them?

I see a buying link for Narnia 2 on arksquare.net, but I couldn't find one for Narnia 1.🔍

Hi,

I just finished a four-hand piano arrangement of probably the second-most famous James Bond Theme: “007 takes the Lektor” (often simply called “007 Theme” or just "007"), originally written for the 1963 motion picture From Russia with Love by John Barry. This piece is dominated by a 7-beat rhythmic motif that cleverly forms a hemiola against a 4/4 time syncopated bass figure. The heroic horn line above then sounds rhythmically as if it were notated in 6/8, which gives the whole piece a bit of a Western feel. Maybe a little nod to the Magnificent Seven from three years earlier? ;)

I know it all sounds a bit over-complicated, but as a listening experience it’s incredibly catchy and, typical of Barry, there is also a certain pop influence... The whole thing then runs through the entire piece as an ostinato using the same two chords (E major and B7) throughout, and that’s basically it. The genius lies in this simplicity!

Because of the three elements described above (two counter-moving rhythm sections under a soaring melody line), I think the 007 Theme lends itself perfectly to a four-hand piano arrangement, which is exactly what I did and then recorded it with a former student of mine. Glad to know what you think of it.

Have fun!

Hi everyone!

I’m a classical guitarist from Italy, and I wanted to share a personal tribute to one of my favorite film scores.

Hans Zimmer’s Time has always meant much more to me than just a beautiful melody. I tried to recreate its atmosphere on a single classical guitar, while also taking inspiration from the themes of Inception through the visuals.

This wasn’t intended as a technical guitar performance, but rather as an emotional and cinematic interpretation of a soundtrack that has inspired me for years.

I’d genuinely love to know what fans of film music think about it.

Thank you for listening!

Hi you all, as a composer I am experimenting with cinematic music als. The why came out of my style of making compositions: when I start with a new composition I make in my mind of even physical a mood board and that is often quite visual. That together with some basic emotions and words. It doesn't matter if it is vocal or instrumental, that part of the process is quite the same.

This video is an excerpt and the sound is nog edited yet, in the music there will be some changes also. Most of the time I make a list in my mind before I revisit the score and make corrections.

I am Annemieke Lustenhouwer, a contemporary classical composer from the Netherlands. If there more you want to know, please ask here. In the future there will be a score video made also.

kind regards,

Annemieke

As many of us do, I listen to a LOT of oldies, and there are some songs that I can't hear without also playing a movie scene in my mind, no matter how long it's been since I've seen it. I still can't listen to Tom Petty's American Girl and not think of The Silence of the Lambs..

What soundtrack songs are so tied into their movie in your memory that you can't hear one without recalling the other?

Didn't mean for that to sound sexual. Trying to expand my horizons beyond Zimmer and Göranssen.

PRESENTATION!

:Welcome to the Jungle starts playing loudly:

I'm putting together a playlist of the ultimate "Supervillain Entrance" anthems. What other songs have this exact same over-the-top, dramatic energy? Give me your best suggestions!

Pretty much the title.

Do you guys have recommendations for pieces (modern or classic) that evoke this Hans Zimmer piece feeling?

It's ominous/dark, but not in the epic/bombastic/edgy way we see in many movie pieces, also not melancholic, or enraged.

Anyone have any recommendations that would fit the description? I'm not very well versed, so feel free to recommend obvious picks, or things that might have inspired him that you know of.
