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
