]UPDATE: February 2, 2012THE SHOW | THE BEST SCORES OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Back in early 2010 I had planned to produce a program dedicated to the very best film, TV and video game music composed in the first ten years of the new decade. The script was written but for some reason I never got around to recording it. Fast forward to present day, and while writing my best of 2011 script, I thought why don’t we first look back at the film, TV and video game music from the first eleven years of the new millennium and then present the best of 2011. So, I immediately pulled out the original script, made a few changes, deleted and added a couple of scores, and produced the program over the course of the last few days. I must say that this has been one of the most rewarding shows I’ve done. It gave me an excuse to listen to all of these wonderful scores all over again. I’ve been in film music heaven over the course of the past week and I’m honoured that I get to share the experience with you right here on Cinematic Sound.
So, what will you hear? Well, here's the format.
During PART I you'll hear music from four honourable mentions - the futuristic sounds of Daft Punk for TRON LEGACY, LOVER'S PRAYER featuring the best score Joel McNeely has ever written, Christopher Gordon's epic score to ON THE BEACH and the lush beauty of Philippe Rombi's ANGEL.
During PART II we will begin the countdown with scores 11 through to 8. (We are doing a top 11 because we are looking back at the first eleven years of the new millennium.) You will hear music from John Powell's brilliant score to HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, Alan Silvestri's action packed score to THE MUMMY RETURNS, John Williams beautiful score to A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and the memorable themes from Marco Beltrami's HELLBOY.
During PART III we wil be presenting scores 7 through to 4. We begin with the symphonic power of Elliot Goldenthal's FINAL FANTASY: THE SPIRITS WITHIN and then move onto the techno sounds of Don Davis THE MATRIX RELOADED. We revisit Middle Earth and Howard's Shore classic score to THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and end this section with one of the very best scores written by Michael Giacchino for the video game SECRET WEAPONS OVER NORMANDY.
The countdown concludes in PART IV as we present three diverse scores including the swashbuckling epic SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW by Edward Shearmur, Conrad Pope's exotic score to PAVILION OF WOMEN and one of the greatest scores ever composed for film SIGNS by James Newton Howard.
