The Three Musketeers - 1993


The Three Musketeers Suite - 1993
Music by Michael Kamen

Since it was almost twenty years since the last Three Musketeer's picture, Disney decided to put together a new version of the veritable story in 1993 with a group of younger actors while also choosing Mr. Kamen to compose the music. The movie suite we end up with is a swashbuckling action-adventure with a comical flourish that is lightly tossed around the action cues. That's okay, since this is all for one in good fun, and as long as the composer does not take this too seriously, neither will we. With a timing of 26:05, I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

The Musketeer Movie Suite - 2001

The Musketeer Movie Suite
Music by David Arnold

With all those James Bond scores under his belt, it is no wonder that Mr. Arnold was asked to compose this 2001 version of the Three Musketeers. Luckily for us he runs the table with incredibly fast pacing with an upbeat openning sequence that introduces the main theme that only slows for a moment before it gathers steam. The orchestration of this movie suite spills from one cue to another, never letting us forget that this is from an action-adventure motion picture and that we should just sit back and enjoy the ride. With a timing of 25:12, I believe that you will enjoy this one.  -MJ

The Three Musketeers Movie Suite - 2011

Three Musketeers, The Suite - 2011
Music by Paul Haslinger

The latest motion picture to take on the Three Musketeers franchise brings us into the post millenium with a rousing movie suite that was composed by ex-Tangerine Dream member, Paul Haslinger. Keeping his eye on the final product, he moves through the various pumped-up synthesizer cues with finesse, the sound reminiscent of many current motion picture score composers, yet still different enough to beg a listen. As a composition, this movie suite is many bits and pieces, joined deliberately, yet it is still entertaining. With a timing of 22:28, if you like the current crop of action-adventure movie suites, you'll probably enjoy this.  -MJ
