Charge of The Light Brigade, The Movie Suite (1936)

Charge of The Light Brigade, The Suite (1936)
Music by Max Steiner

Although this movie suite was derived from the re-recording of this magnificent score, not the original score, we are being treated to the what is arguably the best version available to us of this 1936 classic. With some intense main character themes as well as many action cues we can just sit back and listen to what has always been considered as Max Steiner's very best work. Whether it is the throes of a love scene or the building percussion cues that lead up to the actual charge of The Light Brigade, I can only say that if you've never heard this before, now is your chance to enjoy. With a timing of 44:44, have at it.  -MJ

Charge of The Light Brigade, The Movie Suite (1968)

Charge of The Light Brigade, The Suite (1968)
Music by John Addison

Given the days & times when this was composed in 1967-68, we may forgive Mr. Addison for carrying some simple patriotic themes throughout this movie suite. In the original score, there were unusual moments of yelling from a chorus of voices that was mixed in with the orchestra, that simply was bizarre. Still after much perseverance and editing, we end up with a movie suite that if not very composition happy, it still feels like the themes flow easily from beginning to end.  If you never heard this before,  I am presenting this as a comparison to the earlier work of the same name. With a timing of 18:09 I hope you enjoy this dated classic.  -MJ
