Silvestri brings abundance of festive mood, rousing action, magic and more with music for large orchestra, full chorus. Original scoring melds with seasonal favorites in dazzling blend of fantasy and color. Disney/Intrada co-brand features same program as previously released 2009 download version, but finally makes it available in high quality CD format for collectors. Gorgeous packaging adds further appeal. Director Zemeckis and composer Silvestri have enjoyed a lengthy, highly successful teaming that resulted in Back To The Future, Romancing The Stone, Castaway, The Polar Express, Forrest Gump, many others. A Christmas Carol is another such highlight! Alan Silvestri conducts. 01. A Christmas Carol Main Title 02. Scrooge Counts Money 03. Marley’s Ghost Visits Scrooge 04. The Ghost of Christmas Past 05. Let Us See Another Christmas 06. Flight to Fezziwigs 07. First Waltz 08. Another Idol Has Replaced Me 09. Touch My Robe 10. The Clock Tower 11. Carriage Chase 12. Old Joe and Mrs. Dilber 13.

I always thought the score ended so abruptly. Even though it's source music I liked Silvestri's arrangement of it. It's still ordered though!    Posted:   Nov 11, 2013 - 8:19 PM     By:   Marlene   (Member) Aaaah, thank God! Now my lossy Amazon purchase can be deleted once I bought this. Ordered!    Posted:   Nov 12, 2013 - 7:04 AM     By:   daj3674   (Member) I am quite interested in this title, out of the four new Intrada releases this is a possible purchase along with the Bruce Broughton score.    Posted:   Nov 13, 2013 - 6:53 AM     By:   Bernd   (Member) A wonderful Christmas gift. Great score. The integration of those famous christmas carols like Deck the halls etc. and Silvestri's own material makes this one of my favorite christmas related scores. It's glourious, it's dark, it's joyfull, funny, calm and powerful at the same time. God bless you, Intrada!    Posted:   Nov 13, 2013 - 7:19 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) A wonderful Christmas gift.

Is this release pretty much "complete" or is there more out there to necessitate another release down the line?    Posted:   Nov 15, 2013 - 8:12 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) [ Well said.

My #4 would be "Miracle on 34th Street" (Broughton). I'll check out "Joyeux Noel" now...    Posted:   Nov 16, 2013 - 7:23 AM     By:   Bernd   (Member) I haven't seen the movie yet. I know... sacrilege. Is this release pretty much "complete" or is there more out there to necessitate another release down the line? As far as I now this is pretty much "complete". It's the same content as the download and it's in chronological film order. I think there are some minor tracks missing, but the highlights are on the album. (I think) I really enjoyed the movie. I'm a big fan of the Dicken's story and this version contains some nice ideas. Right, it's very action-oriented and some scenes definitely add more to the 3D experience than to the story, but those scenes are nevertheless great fun. It's a Robert Zemeckis film and that's what you get. (for some this is not a good sign, I for myself love the director's work) Small spoiler: The idea of Scrooge taking the coins which the undertaker put on Marley's eyes is just brilliant (IMHO). In one small act it shows us Scrooge's greedy and merciless character. The movie is quite dark and menancing. No (small) children stuff. Marley's ghost gave me the creeps.    Posted:   Nov 16, 2013 - 8:17 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Except "Joyeux Noel" which I haven't seen/listended to yet, your list is congruent with mine.

I think you will like it.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2021 - 5:29 AM     By:   acathla   (Member) My favorite Xmas score! Every year I wish for a re-release of the CD! Maybe next year, lol!    Posted:   Dec 13, 2021 - 4:20 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) They played the Main Titles from this the other day on Classic FM. It was a pleasant surprise to hear it on mainstream radio. Silvestri is growing a rep on Classic FM, along with Williams, Morricone, Barry and Zimmer. You quite often hear BACK TO THE FUTURE and THE AVENGERS being played. Now...This.    Posted:   Dec 13, 2021 - 7:02 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) They played the Main Titles from this the other day on Classic FM.

Is this over the air radio or do you need whatever that radio subscription service is called?    Posted:   Dec 13, 2021 - 7:19 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) It's just a regular 'free air' FM channel that broadcasts from within the UK, but is, apparently, the most listened to Classical Music station in the World. It's right next to Smooth FM on the dial (a sister station, I believe), which plays light pop/love songs from the 70s to the 00s. Classic FM is about 85% classical stuff, with the remainder being popular/classic film music titles, of which Williams, Barry, Morricone & Zimmer rule the roost. Debbie Wiseman actually has a programme (or used to) in which she hosts and plays music (but not the film stuff, surprisingly). Saturday Night at the Movies (7-00 til 9-00pm) is a 2 hour weekly show that plays nothing but film music (usually themed...Disney..Adventure..War scores..Sci-Fi etc) for its duration.     General Discussion: INTRADA: A Christmas Carol Score (Alan Silvestri)    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
