Thanks for those cues, Morricone.
I'm listening more carefully to Desplat now. Some of his scores pull me in. I loved The Monuments Men.
Also, I love the cue "Cleared Iranian Airspace" from Argo. What a unique approach to use a waltz, and it is a waltz, as a celebration for a homecoming.
Thanks Joan, that is another to add to the list and it is telling that I chose just the stuff from the last few years that was catchy. The fact if I wanted to sell just the symphonic side of Desplat or the jazz side, or his ethnic scores or even his many comedies and maybe how he approaches animated films, I would have plenty to choose from (and not cookie cutter versions of each other). There is a whole world of musical variety that goes back to his early days that indeed dazzles me (and watch as I use none of the commonly used titles that are usully brought up for Desplat like BIRTH, PAINTED VEIL, LUST CAUTION, THE QUEEN, HARRY POTTER, GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING, etc.):

Morricone wrote 22 scores in 1972, give or take a quibble over the odd release year.
no duds in there.
i agree with Henry Morricone- Desplat is one of the few "new" composers writing repeatedly original and memorable themes. unfortunately when composers have a style, a trademark sound, their detractors use this to accuse them of falling back on the same stuff. Any composer who writes the volume and breadth of scores like Ennio. and probably Desplat now, may have some revisits. Up to a point, if it works, but these who do a lot of work cannot be expected to invent the wheel every theme they write, can they? an element of repeat has to remain because its the same composer.
True. Also, Desplat reworked one of his themes from La Fille Du Puisatier into a much more emotional and rewarding melody in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Both ELIC and The Imitation Game were written in 3 weeks, but both scores sound different. The only thing that joins them together is the composer, and the use of piano in the forefront of almost all cues.
