Two pretty genre scores came from Spanish Composer Waldo De Lois- The house that screamed-70- with Lili Palmer and Murders in the rue morgue-71- with Jason Robards and Herbert Lom, both had beautiful themes.

You mean the Argentinian Waldo de los Ríos.

He wasn't born in Spain although most of his career is for Spanish films.

He composed a nice theme for Who can kill a child, a score released several years ago by Quarter Records together with the House that screamed:

The score to SILENT RUNNING (1972) by Peter Schickle.

Everytime a relaxing pleasure to hear.

Also Cliff Martinez`s score to SOLARIS.

"Ella's Theme" from the end credits of David Shire's Monkey Shines score is achingly pretty.

James Bernard composed a number of sweet themes for his Hammer Films productions. Two of them here, for Taste the Blood of Dracula, and Scars of Dracula:

Cujo by the great Charles Bernstein had a very pretty main theme. I've always enjoyed that one a lot.

North's 2001 Space Docking scene is really light and playful.

Horner's main title and end theme for House on Sorority Row is almost hypnotic for me.

To Jeane Allard- House of Sorority row, is that a remake of the original? because that music played earlier in this thread was the same title but music by Richard Band?

Ruby -77- by Don Ellis, a pretty 40's type of pretty ballad,

Richard Band's Main Title for HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW is beautiful, and far superior to the film it accompanies.

So glad Paul Hickling and Dan the Man gave James Bernard a shout-out. Why Bernard's music isn't better-known puzzles me. Some of his melodies (IMO) are as ravishing as I've ever heard in cinema. The selections already listed are awesome, and I must add the hauntingly beautiful main theme for the 60's Hammer remake of "She" - so otherworldly, seductive and melancholy. Masterpiece stuff. Unless someone's citing it while I type this, I'd also include John William's masterful and intoxicating scores for Dracula and The Fury. Crammed with beautiful music, much of it reminds me of the same haunting lush sound, combining spooky and beauty, of Mr. Bernard. Then of course that makes me think of Bernard Herrmann, and his "The Road/Finale" from Fahrenheit 451 can push my tear button faster than Barber's Adagio. So beautiful it hurts.

Sometimes, something is so popular we forget to mention it, Andrew Webber's Phantom of the opera from play to film, and those lovely ballads, a new one added to the film as well[learn to be lonely]played during end credits.
