Film music?
And is film music a minor art? ( anyway it is considered so, and mostly " inspired "from classical music )
My wiew? Mostly the romantic period from Waxman to Rōzsa, and yes I take it mostly as a " minor " art. Mostly.
Follow Ups:
One alltime favorite is the Miles Davis score from Siesta. I also enjoy most of the work of Danny Elfman. He is pretty creative and can always present something new, incredibly supportive and interesting to a film.Later

Sleepy Hollow very Baroque was good as Big Fish was.
Hermann is unsurpassed, a true master-the SACD of Hermann's film music with Salonen and the L.A. Philharmonic is superb, BTW.Several have mentioned Franz Waxmen, I concur-my favorite is his wonderful score for James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein.
Thomas Newman has written some memorable film music-I'm reminded of how well his music supports the scene in Shawshank Redemption where Andy DuFresne emerges from the sewer pipe in the rain.
I've always loved Randy Newman's film music-some of my favorites are the scores for The Natural, Ragtime, Avalon and both Toy Story
films.
Simon Garfunkel tune......
Elsa Lanchester was wonderful in! As In " Witnesss for Prosecution."
Andy? I just look at it for the x time, still improving. I love this one.
And Avalon.
May you have a good and happy New Year,

"WHO!?" I hear you sayWell, he has done more original Soundtracks in the last few years than just about anyone and they are all good, got his start with "Blood Simple" and has scored most Coen Brothers films since

Ok I saw some of the films where he did do the music. But the best I can remember was the wonderful old song from "The Daughter General ". I bought the disc. As I plan to see " The Man..." again I will take care of the music particulary...
Thank you for the link!
a little off topic, but Scorsese seems to have the knack in placing songs in his films in a way that just gets you so excited to hear the music. Not just picking good songs, but melding them into the scene just so.Remember Robert De Niro's head hitting the pillow to "Be My Baby" in Mean Streets?
Remember the songs at the end of Goodfellas when Ray Liotta starts getting high and paranoid? Then the end of "Layla" kicks in?
I love directors who love music and can dig up just the right (sometimes long-forgotten) song -- Woody Allen and Cameron Crowe come to mind too.

Today, with all the hard competition in the music business, it's almost impossible to come up with anything totally original. So we haven't. However, this disc was made with the accent on heavy music.

Woody Allen mixes of Jazz and Classical I particulary love ( Hanna...)
for The Lord of The Rings, The Two Towers and The Return of The King ...a TRUE masterpiece!Also, Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, Erich Korngold, Danny Elfman, Dmitri Tiomkin, Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams.

I wonder... After reflexion I would say it can.
LOTR had a musical score?
Oh yes you are right!
Still loves me?

At least I'd still have one good ear and 20/20 vision in your presumptive scenario. So, what's your excuse? Don't bother answering, it's a rhetorical question; besides, the Film Asylum doesn't provide Braille translation! ;^)AuPh
And a disgusting noise at that. A continuous crescendo with no variations.About the worst I have ever heard.

If you want to talk nuisance, THAT'S the place to start, Mr. patrick-pot-calling-the-kettle-black! ;^)AuPh
Wholeheartedly agree !Shore has no place being mentioned with these true masters of cinema scoring; Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, Erich Korngold, Danny Elfman, Dmitri Tiomkin, Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams

Mon Dieu how low can we go ?
