The Legend of The Lone Ranger Movie Suite

Legend of the Lone Ranger, The Suite

Music by John Barry

Taken as a whole, this movie suite from 1981 is representative of what Mr. Barry was putting out in the early 80's when he was so very busy with James Bond scores and the like. This has a very down on the farm attitude (or is it a western attitude?) that seems just about right. It's obvious that this was not an action picture, so other than the requisite William Tell Overture 3/4 of the way through, we have some themes that beg you to sit back and relaxe as you listen. With a timing of 16:58 this demonstrates where we've been and it is an enjoyable reminder. I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

The Lone Ranger Movie Suite (2013)

The Lone Ranger Suite

Music by Hans Zimmer

In this recent 2013 remake, Mr. Zimmer has stirred the pot of previous western scores to bring us an imaginative movie suite that feels like Goldsmith, sounds like Morricone yet is without a doubt all Zimmer. The merits of the movie aside this music builds quickly, pulling back on the reigns when necessary, but pushing ahead to the prerequisite William Tell Overture which Mr. Zimmer has added his own flourishes to as well. When this suite comes to a conclusion you wonder why you are not breathless from exhaustion. With a timing of 29:49, I hope you enjoy this romp.  -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

Jack The Giant Slayer Movie Suite

Jack the Giant Slayer Suite

Music by John Ottman

In this 2013 remake of a classic Mr. Ottman has taken on the composer's baton to bring us a vision of mayhem and music that works quite well. Although much of the music to this work of fantasy was simply mood, it was still possible to work this into a cohesive composition that entertains the listener from start to finish. With a grand orchestra, a smattering of choral voices to add depth as well as the tried and true synthesizer for good measure, we end up with a timing for 24:05. There are still orchestral movie suites out there and I will continue to locate them for you. I hope you enjoy!  -MJ

Game Of Thrones Season Three Suite

Game of Thrones Season Three Suite

Music by Ramin Djawadi

In the third installment for this 2013 mini-series, Mr. Djawadi has become introspective as he weaves his haunting notes of betrayal and dispair. So much of this music was simply mood, yet we were able to carve out a semblance of a movie suite that still invokes plenty of emotion. With a timing of 20:31 we are left with a short yet concise feeling of longing emptiness; which was nothing like the previous G.O.T. suites brought to us. Still, I hope you enjoy this and share my hope that next season will bring us amazing themes as well as new reasons to listen.  -MJ

Man Of Steel Movie Suite

Man Of Steel Suite

Music by Hans Zimmer

We have a recent movie suite from the 2013 blockbuster about Superman. Phew! There is no doubt that Mr. Zimmer put his heart and soul into this music. It is dripping with themes that paint a landscape of other worldly places and fantastic times. His usage of drum orchestras and percussion that he has combined with a myriad of synthesizer as well as even some orchestral flourishes bring us into his world, if only for a short time. This movie suite is the State-Of-The-Art for current composers. As the behemoths of the movie soundtrack business, such as John Williams, James Horner, John Scott and their compadres retire or simply fade away, we are left with the vision of Hans Zimmer. Let's embrace the new as we remember the old. With a timing of 24:57, it is safe to say that this music will give you enjoyment for many years to come.  -MJ

Spartacus The Movie Suites

Spartacus Movie Suite

Music by Alex North

These classic movie suites from 1960 start out with a flourish of horns before swirling into a mix of sustained chaos. Of course, the chaos is quite controlled as we follow along as one man challenges authority and the evils of slavery in ancient Rome. This motion picture has a running time of 197 minutes, that's right 3 hours 17 minutes, so the amount of orchestral themes and cues to sift through was daunting. What we ended up with are two suites, with the first suite ending with the intermission music, with a timing of 31:13 for Suite One and 27:26 for Suite Two. This is classic movie music at its best, so I hope you enjoy these.  -MJ

Star Trek Into Darkness Movie Suite

Star Trek Into Darkness Movie Suite

Music by Michael Giacchino

In this recent 2013 movie suite, we are given another schooling by Mr. Giacchino on how to write some great music to accompany an action packed science fiction, motion picture. With a few nods to Alexander Courage (who wrote the original theme for the TV show), we are swept along at a fantastic pace that never lets up. Not too much percussion like some other composers of late, nor too much synthesizer, but a great mix of instruments to achieve the desired sound. With a timing of 23:49, it is over way too soon. Enjoy it while you can still get it.  -MJ

Iron Man 3 Movie Suite

Iron Man 3 Movie Suite

Music by Brian Tyler

In this recent movie suite from 2013, we have yet another composer picking up the reigns of the Iron Man franchise from John Debney. Noted for his work on the Expendables and Battle Los Angeles, Mr. Tyler brings us the tried and true formula for a modern fantasy motion picture: synth and drums! Lots and lots of percussion carries this music from beginning to end, so at first there seemed as if there would be no actual themes at all. After repeated listening, the drums seemed to back away and finally the themes were there to hear. The resulting movie suite is modern, pounding movie music that is quite fun to listen to. With a timing of 27:27, of course,  I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

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

Gangster Squad Movie Suite

Gangster Squad Movie Suite

Music by Steve Jablonsky

In this recent movie suite from 2013, we are treated to more of Mr. Jablonsky's synth and percussion style with a measure of unusual sounds to round out this interesting work. You might have thought this would be more stylistic considering the time period of the motion picture, but no, this music is very reminiscent of his Transformer's suites and one can hear the influences of one of his mentors, Hans Zimmer, also. Of course, with all that being said, this is still a great composition that is entertaining as well as what we'll be hearing for years to come. I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

Oz The Great and Powerful Movie Suite

Music by Danny Elfman

In this 2013 music suite we are reminded that Mr. Elfman is quite handy at whipping up the orchestra and voices to serve his listeners with another quirky, yet whimsical suite that at times borders on the scary. Gee, I wonder if that was his intention? Still, if you like the Elfman's style, then you will be happy to listen to this many, many times. There's no place like...Movie Suites, there's no place like...Move Suites! Sure hope you enjoy.  -MJ.

The Greatest Story Ever Told Movie Suite

Greatest Story Ever Told, The Suite

Music by Alfred Newman

In this 1965 movie suite we are bringing out another classic by Mr. Alfred Newman. Although this music is mostly solemn, rarely gripping, the lushness of the strings gives us a glimpse at why this was nominated for an Academy Award, losing to Maurice Jarre and his score from Doctor Zhivago. Still, this is considered the best movie suite that Mr. Newman composed so it is without a doubt worth listening to. Hope you enjoy.  -MJ

The Bible Movie Suite

The Bible Suite

Music by Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, Lisa Gerrard

In this recent mini-series suite from 2013, we are treated to a majestic yet understated work of Mr. Zimmer's that speaks volumes on where his music is heading in the present future. Consisting of his current blend of voices, sythesizers and orchestral cues, we are taken on a journey to the time and places of the Bible. So much of the original score was filled with voices, chants and choral, but this movie suite is what is remaining after the majority of those have been removed. Although this ends quite suddenly, I beleive that it will hold up well to multiple listens. I hope you enjoy!  -MJ
