NEW FSM CDs: Delerue, Moross and The Appointment
Film Score Monthly's new limited edition CDs feature classic scores by
Jerome Moross and Georges Delerue -- and a special bonus release of three
scores composed to the same film:
Silver
Age Classics: OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE/THE 25TH HOUR
This CD reissues two classic Georges Delerue albums from 1967: Our
Mother's House is a British gothic horror/character study of seven
children who proceed with life as usual after their mother passes away;
and The 25th Hour is a large-scale Holocaust drama starring Anthony
Quinn.
Georges Delerue was a gifted melodist whose music graced the finest
films of the French new wave. Our Mother's House was a rare collector's
item on LP -- released only in Canada -- that became famous (or infamous)
as the inspiration for Quincy Jones's score to The Color Purple.

Golden
Age Classics: THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN
This is a splendid Americana score by Jerome Moross (composer of The
Big Country) to the 1960 M-G-M family film of Mark Twain's classic
novel. Moross effortlessly captures the wry lyricism and lighthearted sarcasm
of Twain's story, with bountiful melodies and transparent orchestrations.
The CD features the complete score in newly remixed stereo, as well
as bonus tracks of songs by Burton Lane and Alan Lerner, written for an
aborted M-G-M musical version of the story and judiciously interpolated
into Moross's work. $19.95

score by John Barry (theme) and Don Walker (adaptation and orchestration);
