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

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
