The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Suite

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Suite

Music by Jeremy Soule

Ah yes, we have another quandary. Does a video-game soundtrack suite constitute or even come close to a movie suite? If we showcase a video game suite, but then call it a movie suite, can we get away with offering it here to our listeners? I say sure! Why not? This music was given to me and after repeated listening sessions (after all there are many CD's with over 4 hours of music) we have a suite that attempts to bridge the narrowing chasm between motion picture and video gamer's paradise. With plenty of synthesizer, orchestra and a bit of choral voices thrown in for good measure, we have a suite that forces you to listen, and as you do, something happens that is amazing...you become lost in the music. With a long running time of 41:50 this does take an effort to listen in one sitting, but I think you'll really enjoy this in bits and pieces or all at once. Oh yeah, for the next post we'll be back to movie suites. I do promise.  -MJ

Samson And Delilah Movie Suite

Samson And Delilah Movie Suite

Music by Victor Young

In this 1949 epic Bible story, we have a movie suite that delivers drama, lavishly crafted strings and all the requisite motifs expected to carry one of history's well known romances. Mr. Young was nominated for an academy award for this music yet losing to Franz Waxman's Sunset Boulevard in 1951. It seems that Hollywood was growing tired of the biblical Epics. Still, with a timing of 23:26, this delivers a classic punch that is entertaining to say the least. Sure do hope you enjoy!  -MJ

The Final Countdown Movie Suite

The Final Countdown Suite

Music by John Scott

In this fantasy-adventure yarn from 1980, we are presented with our first movie suite from John Scott, a prolific composer who brings to the listener wonderful motif's by horns and trumpets, lushly orchestrated strings as well as dramatic passages that defied the normal experience back in the day. With a dabbling of synthesizer sounds to keep it interesting, Mr. Scott's sound is refreshing and I find it hard to imagine I just re-discovered his music. With a timing of 20:25, I really hope you enjoy this vintage work.  -MJ

Jack The Giant Killer Movie Suite

Jack The Giant Killer Suite

Music by Paul Sawtell & Bert Shefter

This is the original movie suite from 1962 that shows that although we now have synthesizers to assist with the task of scoring a fantasy adventure, things have not really changed too much. The two composers were Hollywood veterans who had both worked on a wide range of horror and "B" movies for various studios that came together and did a pretty good job. The main theme that starts this suite is bombastic, full of energy and filled with hope. The listening experience does taper off into a melo-dramatic barrage of motifs and cues that made me think I was listening to a love story instead of a work of fantasy. With timing of 17:48, this is over quickly, but not before we have some fun. I hope you enjoy this classic.  -MJ
