The latest Odyssey episode is now up, for the only other Goldsmith-scored Playhouse 90 episode we've been able to find on video: the adaptation of William Faulkner's Tomorrow:
http://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/ ... se-90-1960With the score running about 13 minutes in film, one might be forgiven for thinking that the whole thing was released by Prometheus Records on their excellent album, "Jerry Goldsmith: The Early Years Vol. 1" -- since this last season of the show was supposedly the first that was filmed instead of being broadcast live, it seemed a reasonable assumption that the Prometheus tracks came from the original score recording unlike A Marriage of Strangers from the previous year.
This assumption was wrong! As with the previous Playhouse 90 score, the film performance is totally different...no different instrumentation in this one, but the tempos are slower and more deliberate across the board in the film version (which, though I'm used to the Prometheus tracks, actually works better for the composition IMO). Also, it turns out that the film features no fewer than five interesting cues completely left off of the Prometheus disc, and the Prometheus disc features five interesting cues that were, for whatever reason, not used in the film! This is the first example we know of where a good percentage of music Jerry wrote for a project went unused -- don't worry, we include coverage of all of it. Give this episode a listen and let us know what you think!
