Recently I`ve been listening to Horner`s HOUSE OF CARDS and VIBES, Goldsmith`s MEDICNE MAN and UNDER FIRE (although that is central american) and the John Scott COUSTEAU / AMAZON scores. Any other recommedations?    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 5:06 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) Ennio Morricone's THE MISSION would seem an obvious one. He also uses pan pipes in CASUALTIES OF WAR.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 5:30 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Casualties of War was the one that sprang to mind for me, too. I saw video of Morricone conducting the pan flute players on the score of the film - very impressive. Another one worth digging out is Picnic at Hanging Rock - available on LP, if not CD - music largely by Gheorghe Zamfir, who seems responsible single-handedly for this instrument's sudden popularity in the 70s.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 5:43 AM     By:   CinemaScope   (Member) Once Upon A time In America, that sounds like pan flutes, & the play-out of the first Kill Bill film, The Lonely Shepherd, Gheorghe Zamfir, as catchy as hell.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 5:52 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Once Upon A time In America, that sounds like pan flutes, & the play-out of the first Kill Bill film, The Lonely Shepherd, Gheorghe Zamfir, as catchy as hell. Yeah, ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA is really the ultimate example of pan flutes in film scores, and I'm surprised it took so many posts before it was mentioned. Unfortunately for the instrument, with all those 'pan pipe moods' CDs, it's often associated with something cheesy these days. But in itself and used correctly (like in OUATIA), it's a lovely sound.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 5:53 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Once Upon A time In America, that sounds like pan flutes, & the play-out of the first Kill Bill film (I forget what track was used). Derrr - yes, Cockeye's theme. And Oceano and The Battle of Algiers include either pan flutes or something that sounds like them - possibly a bass flute or something pitched even lower. I don't find it easy to tell the difference. Kill Bill was Zamfir again, if memory serves.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 6:12 AM     By:   shureman   (Member) Haunting pan flute in PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m-6bU4x7us    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 6:41 AM     By:   Matt S.   (Member) Conti uses pan flutes in his Karate Kid scores.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 7:16 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Isn't that a panflute in "Willow"?    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 8:07 AM     By:   Ado   (Member) James Horner's "Where the River Runs Black" - I think that they might be sampled or synth pan flutes, I am not sure. It is a lovely score though.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 8:18 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Isn't that a panflute in "Willow"? Isn't that a shakuhachi, Horner's preferred flute?    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 8:19 AM     By:   counterpoint   (Member) Thanks for the suggestions THE MISSION is a true classic. I absolutely love it. At the moment I`m really interested in south american / latin scores with pan flutes. That`s why ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA although being one of my favorite Morricone scores doesn`t really fit. Any suggestions regarding latin flavored pan flute scores like VIBES or the John Scott AMAZON?    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 8:47 AM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) Robert Folk's NEVERENDING STORY 2 uses two 'dueling' pan flutes to gorgeous effect amidst his wistful, KRULL-like orchestral/choral score. Can't recommend this one enough - Great soaring orchestral fantasy writing, pure magic and a ton of enthusiasm/energy. Christopher Young's THE OASIS uses pan flutes throughout, to sometime soothing and other times very dissonant effect. VERY cool music. Michael Kamen's sparse, often heartbreaking score to CRUSOE uses pan flutes to evocative and eerie effect as well.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 9:34 AM     By:   Maleficio   (Member) Luis Bacalov uses pan pipes/flutes in many of his scores, my favorite being SEA OF DREAMS:    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 9:46 AM     By:   The Beach Bum   (Member) Any suggestions regarding latin flavored pan flute scores like VIBES or the John Scott AMAZON? Actually Scott used recorders for the "native" flute sounds in Amazon. But as far as authentic South American pan pipes (or "zampoñas" as they are more accurately known) I would recommend George Fenton's A Handful Of Dust, which uses them pretty extensively. http://www.amazon.com/Handful-Of-Dust-1988-Film/dp/B000000PG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413820358&sr=8-1&keywords=a+handful+of+dust+fenton    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 10:09 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) dp    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 10:09 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) I love Nicholas Hooper's score for this BBC TV series... I've no idea if the CD is still available.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 10:20 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) "Jake Speed" (Mark Snow) uses them in a number of cues, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk_xL9vNlRA    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 10:27 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) more south american than The mission?? is there such a thing??! to think one day i bought zamphirs The light of experience single on 45rpm!! thor is right - back in the early 90s pan pipe moods went into overdrive and became what you bought your nan for xmas - made the instrument a little passe and over used. However, when used right on a film score, and used sparingly to be effective, they can be great.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2014 - 10:27 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) i have a feeling Morricone used pan pipes on City of joy and the more recent score that was deliberately mission-like with choirs whose title escapes my mind. will look it up. ah, casa brusciata     General Discussion: scores with pan flutes    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4   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 2 3 4
