INTRADA Announces: JOHNNY TREMAIN Music by GEORGE BRUNS INTRADA ISC 425 Intrada's latest release from the vast Walt Disney catalog stretches back to 1957, with George Bruns' music for Johnny Tremain. Bruns is best remembered for his scores to 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, and his adaptation of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty. With the release of Johnny Tremain, Intrada brings focus to his scoring for live-action films. Unlike the current and often non-thematic nature of today's film music, Walt Disney loved prominent melody. To that end, Bruns ensured that the Tremain score was built around two main themes. One theme is for Tremain himself — a four-note motif constructed around the syllables of the character’s name, often played in emotional, legato strings. But hero of the story or not, the centerpiece of the score is the second theme — a rousing march entitled "Liberty Tree." An album had been released contemporaneously with the film, featuring a re-recorded 20-minute suite of music from the film on one side. The performance closely adhered to its soundtrack counterpart, but with more of a studio acoustic. The other side included traditional patriotic songs. For this release, Intrada leveraged the complete mono scoring masters made at the Walt Disney Scoring Stage back in 1957 as well as the Bruns program side of the LP. The film was originally filmed for television, scheduled to be shown in two parts on the Disneyland show in February 1957. But after investing a considerable amount of money in the film, Disney decided to edit the footage into a theatrical release prior to showing it on television. The story tells of Johnny Tremain (Hal Stalmaster), an apprentice silversmith, who, after a fire disfigures his hands and he loses his position, joins the rebellion against the British in the fight for independence.

They should have called this "Johnny Deformed". |

Wow, this is an amazing release. George Bruns is a very under-represented composer on disc. Only 5 of his movie scores have been released on CD over more than 50 scores during his career : Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, Robin Hood and The Aristocats (the last 2 ones have been very recently released by WDR in the Legacy collection). This is the FIRST ever CD release of the score of one of his live action films. The only things close to this were only the re-recorded short LPs from Johnny Tremain and Westward Ho the Wagons from the 50's ! This is historical ! Thanks Intrada for this miracle. |

A most unexpected release. Can't wait for Scorsese's modern wise-guy take on the events (spoiler: everybody dies at the end), with a brooding score by Junkie XL. |

This is fantastic news! I hope it's the first of several planned, including Treasure Island & Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Terrific scores for terrific films that have been too long neglected. |

Excellent release! It will be on my next order. I hope many more Disney Golden Age scores will follow such as: Davy Crockett, West Ho the Wagons, The Great Locomotive Chase, In Search of the Castaways, Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island etc. Thanks guys!
