I can tell you that the two composers are called Michael Cross and Peter Wyer but I have never met them so can't tell you any more.

I'm more of a showtunes person myself. :)<BR/><BR/> I'm really interested in music, and when I read about Nubia's "Dog Song" and her flute playing, I often wonder if you had any particular melody in mind. Every once in a while when I'm reading about how touched people are by her "Slave Song" it makes me just want to sit down at my piano and write something like that. But I'm too lazy. ;)<BR/><BR/>God bless you, Ms. Lawrence! <BR/><BR/>~A girl called many things.

I don't know some of them ...Great choices Caroline. I don't know some of them so will check them out. Here is my top ten.<BR/><BR/>1. Jungle Book - great timeless songs and interesting soundtrack.<BR/>2. Star Wars - what would this film be without John Williams's score.<BR/>Unfortunately time has made it so familiar that it has dulled its impact. However, on the DVD of the Phantom Menace, there is a music video of clips to the Duel of the Fates which makes up for that film.<BR/>3. The Right Stuff - Bill Conti's soundtrack to a great film.<BR/>4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - The opening sequence of the old sepia film accompanied by the piano whilst they blow open the train carriage before it turns into Newman and Redford. The rest isn't too bad either.<BR/>5. Quadrophenia - The soundtrack to a 17 year old's life. For the only time in my life, the combination of image and music made me want to go out and smash someone in the face. Not sure if that is a good recommendation.<BR/>6. Intolerance - Not sure if this counts but some years back I went to see Carl Davis conduct his score to the old DW Grifiths movie. I think the fact that it was live and the imagery so dated made it a wonderful experience.<BR/>7. Star Trek - the motion picture - Jerry Goldsmith's score was perfect for Star Trek - just not this film!<BR/>8. The Italian Job - Kitch but wonderful.<BR/>9. Lawrence of Arabia - Again, I went to see Maurice Jarre conduct some of his compositions over the film, including Lawrence of Arabia. He did a sequence showing a Passage to India without a score, his score and them combining the two and it brought the film to life.<BR/>10. Goldfinger - I love John Barry's music and perhaps Midnight Cowboy was the best theme. However Bond is consistently up there. So pick to pick one, it has to Goldfinger.<BR/><BR/>If I was allowed 11, I would add Amadeus. I made me appreciate the beauty of Mozart's music.<BR/>Best wishes<BR/>NickNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240508942774847980noreply@blogger.com
