Well, you've read the notes, the sound mix of the notes was excellent, and now it is time for you to post until the mixed up cows come home.

It's not just the scores, but the scene and score together to form perfection.  Here are some of my faves, as examples:

Finding Boo from To Kill A Mockingbird - wherein Scout discovers Boo Radley hiding behind the door of Jem's room.  One of the most beautiful moments in all of film thanks to the combo platter of Robert Mulligan, Harper Lee, Horton Foote, Robert Duvall, and most especially Elmer Bernstein.

She Knows, She Knows from The Miracle Worker - wherein Helen Keller finally understands.  Arthur Penn's direction, Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft's performances, and the brilliant underscore of Laurence Rosenthal - unforgettable, and never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

The Murder from Psycho - talk about music informing a visual sequence.

The Book People from Fahrenheit 451 - Mr. Herrmann's final cue turns a beautifully shot sequence into high art and poetry.

TOTD:

One scene that comes to mind is towards the end of the movie, Secret of Roan Inish, and the little girl sees a little boy in a curragh coming towards the beach and she rushes out to meet him. The music is sweet and haunting and fits the scene beautifully.

The knife and exaggerated music in the shower scene in Psycho

This scene is actually a montage of Micheal Collins being killed at Beal naBlath, and Julia Roberts character, Kitty, is being fitted in a wedding dress. It is one of few times I have actually liked Sinead O'Connor but her rendition of He moved through the fair was eerily haunting...

Good morning, all!  Another day in with a few more edits.   I have to rush back home since I have a guest this afternoon who wants to be an orchestrator, and he's asked to look at some scores.  After that, perhaps a DVD.

DRCillaliz, I'm ambivalent about watching FLIGHT 93.  I'm curious, but I still cry when I walk by a firehouse and see the memorials.  Last night, on the news, they interviewed people about the film, and as soon as a few clips were shown, I got all teary.  I think I do better reading about 9/11.

Congratulations on finishing the play and looking forward to hearing how the read-thru goes.

As for Soaps:

I am a YOUNG & RESTLESS man myself, having watched from the FIRST day it was broadcast when a mysterious stranger came into town and began to disrupt the Foster and Brooks families, although I am NOT a regular viewer.

My other favorites no longer run regularly:  DARK SHADOWS, THE EDGE OF NIGHT, and LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING.  Oh well.

TOD:

Psycho - the murder scene, already mentioned, Herrmann
Mockingbird - the walk through the woods, Bernstein

Walk on the Wild Side - title sequence, Bernstein

Ice Castles - Lexie's final skate, Through the Eyes of Love, Hamlisch

Harlow - the confession scene, Riddle

Pillow Talk - the confrontation scene, title sequence, DeVol

But the BEST ever music to set something up and to stick in the mind are two TV themes:

GREEN ACRES and THE ADDAMS FAMILY (snap, snap)

JRand - I'd go with the confrontation scene from PILLOW TALK as a fave as well, beautifully set up throughout the movie and then wonderfully executed

The bicycle triumph in BREAKING AWAY is also a great memory

From TV credits, the ending of the opening credits for PHYLLIS remains my all-time favorite fusing of music and visual, because even though it's a little mean-spirited, it so effectively lampoons the big-lady Broadway songs of the era that just preceded it.  And to really subject myself to ridicule, I loved the way Laverne and Shirley's title credits were timed to the music, one of the few shows where I would watch the credits week after week.

Saturday morning greetings!  Today is my day to drive home to Middletown and it's bright and sunny - maybe I'll open the sunroof on my car.

Last night, I went shopping at Barnes & Noble - bought Alison Weir's bio of Elizabeth I, my May and August book group books (The Jane Austen Book Club and Bee Season), a couple of tea shop mysteries by Laura Childs to bring my series up to date, and a Liz Callaway CD produced by our very own BK with orchestrations by our very own DR Elmore.

Picked up dinner at Bravo Italian Cucina and came back to my hotel to watch Meet the Fockers on HBO - what a silly movie with hammy turns by the 2 sets of parents.  This morning I woke up without an alarm clock (a rare treat) and am about to start my journey home.

Bye for now

My favorite music/scene in the movies (apart from many of the ones already mentioned) is the waltz scene from MADAME BOVARY. It's not a great movie, but it sure is a great sequence, and that Miklos Rozsa score is one of the best ever written.

A beautiful day here in Rehoboth Beach.  The DogWalk on the Boardwalk should be great!

We'll be taking Bonnie, Buster, and Angie.  A friend/relative of ours, Kevin (a cousin of der Brucer's son-in-law) - who works with the Delaware Humane Society - swears that we should be able to find Angie a good home today.  I think that's overly optimistic - we'll need to have a home check done - but the fingers are crossed.

Going to get to TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY today. After years of seeing those drab public domain copies of this film on TV and on videotape, I remember how astonished I was to see the officially sanctioned MGM laserdisc that contained Technicolor that just blew me away. I'm expecting the DVD to supersede that presentation and can't wait to see it this afternoon.
