UPDATE: January 24, 2013THE BEST SCORES OF 2012
#4 LINCOLN by John Williams
The number 4 is John Williams’ music from Steven Spielberg’s, LINCOLN. Williams’ brilliantly spotted score is uncharacteristically restrained. Drawing inspiration from Aaron Copland and Williams’ own compositions for SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, JFK and THE PATRIOT, Williams score is melodic, dramatic, noble – at times playful – and very delicate. Superbly performed by renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Chorus, Williams music hits all the right notes. This is a score the deserves your undivided attention.
#3 THERE BE DRAGONS by Robert Folk
The number 3 score of 2012 is Robert Folk’s replacement score for Roland Joffe’s Spanish Civil War epic, THERE BE DRAGONS. Stephen Warbeck wrote an original score for the first cut of the film in 2011 but when Roland Joffe recut the film in the fall of 2011 he commissioned a new score to be written. Robert Folk was hired and provided the film with an old school, traditional, multi-thematic symphonic sound that was inspired by some of the greatest scores in film music history.
