To pick something a bit original, I love such "mysterioso twinkling" as can be heard right at the beginning of Dave Grusin's The Yakuza, throughout Michael Small's Klute, or Richard Band's Ghost Warrior. I also associate it with '70's Columbo; that's where I heard (noticed) it first; it must have been used in other series of the time, but when I heard it again on FSM's Yakuza, I just thought of Columbo-- by the way, did only one composer use it for Columbo or did it become a staple for all of them, and who introduced it? I really love a lot the mysterious atmosphere these light percussions create; there's a lightness to it I particularly like. Do you know of other available scores featuring these? Not quite the same, but related: I also love what Elfman did in "Tracks in the Snow" for A Simple Plan; the mystery is eerier here. |

I love Goldenthal's melody, doubling the horn with a piccolo or flutes one or 2 octaves above, or clarinets melody doubling the violins one octave above. Also his high strings holding 5th and his celli harmonics glissando back and forth. |

I love Bernard Herrmann's use of low woodwinds, esp. in those repeated phrases he uses. |

Orchestral colour has always interested me. In traditional scoring, I usually have a "takes away my breath" moment when the composer writes a furious fugue that culminates in a grand statement of the heroic theme in the French horns. Certainly Rozsa does this often, but so do many other composers. I also like Delerue's frequent writing of a mini-concerto for a solo intstrument (accordion, guitar, cello or saxophone...) with a string orchesta providing counterpoint. The sheer variety of orchestral colours in Thomas Newman's music always pulls me in. It is not unusual to hear vocalist, dulcimer, whistles, various percussion, piano, and traditional symphonic lines - all in one cue. It ends up being an aural buffet that I find entrancing. BB |

I've always loved finger cymbals (examples: Alan Silvestri on Back to the Future, Billy Goldenberg on 18 Again!). |
