Hawaii Movie Suite

Hawaii Movie Suite

Music by Elmer Bernstein

With every moment that passes, many of the classic movie suites become harder and harder to come by. This suite is from 1966; an epic motion picture with a story about the first days of the American colonization of the exotic islands of Hawaii. The music is quite majestic, with themes that evoke images of towering volcanoes and lush jungles. Very difficult to get, Mr. Bernstein chose to keep the bombastic flourishes, yet the composition still has a light feel that we rarely hear in today's movie suites. With a timing of just 30:00, I hope you'll enjoy revisiting this suite many times in the future.  -MJ

Close Encounters of the Third Kind Movie Suite

Close Encounters of the Third Kind Movie Suite

Music by John Williams

Again, we have another movie suite by Mr. Williams that he composed in 1977 which is very different than his usual approach with themes and motifs for individuals. Sure we all are familiar with the 5 note motif that surfaces late in the suite, but much of this suite is designed to build up to the final conclusion and because of that, most of the score was, well, mood music. Sure it worked great, but as a composition in its own right, well we had to do some tweaking to satisfy. With a timing of only 18:06, this is over quickly. But afterwards you'll be enjoying the thought of this suite for hours.  -MJ

SpaceCamp Movie Suite

SpaceCamp Movie Suite

Music by John Williams

This movie suite from 1986 is a real treat. For the longest time, part of this music was played in concert halls across the world as a showpiece. As of late this has been relegated to the bottom of the list of Mr. Williams musical successes, but that's too bad because it is filled with heart and longing for what lies in the unknown as well as some major orchestral moments. Although it starts out slowly, once it gets going, I am hopeful that you will listen to this and say, "oh yeah" I know this! With a timing of 23:34, bet you'll enjoy this.  -MJ

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Movie Suite

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Movie Suite

Music by John Williams

Continuing with another movie suite from Mr. Williams, one of the most celebrated movie composer's of all time, we have this well-known classic from 1982 that builds from a slow methodical foreboding into the frantic rapidity of hope. These themes are so familiar, yet for me it has been many years since listening to this. I hope you'll agree that it was worth the wait.  With a timing of 27:36, it is also my hope you really enjoy this masterpiece!  -MJ

Cocoon Movie Suite

Cocoon Movie Suite

Music by James Horner

In this Sc-Fi fantasy from 1987, Mr. Horner penned a catchy main theme and then proceeded to take us on a journey into realms unknown with the theme re-appearing occasionaly..Even with the experimental synthesizer sound, this movie suite is classic Horner and if its been awhile since you've heard this, then I think you are in for a treat. With a timing of 26:06, this deserves a place in your media library or on your phone or Ipod or where ever you listen...as always, I hope you enjoy.  -MJ
