INTRADA Announces:



IN SEARCH OF PEACE
Composed and Conducted by LEE HOLDRIDGE
INTRADA Signature Edition ISE 1035


In Search of Peace chronicles the first two decades of Israel’s existence, offering new insights on the origins of the Middle East conflict. The film weaves together historical narrative, anecdotes and dramatic personal stories. Combining a rich tapestry of rare archival film and photos, In Search of Peace not only examines events in Israel, but their impact on many other places in the world as well—the Arab refugee camps, the General Assembly of the United Nations and from there to the world capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, Buenos Aires, Cairo and Washington D.C. The film offers a unique global perspective on one of the most important events of the Twentieth Century and one of the seminal events in the 3,500-year history of the Jewish People. This film was produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Moriah films, a two-time Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Feature, Genocide (1981) and The Long Way Home (1997).

The film is also a further example of the continuing collaboration between director Richard Trank and composer Lee Holdridge. In their five films together, including I Have Never Forgotten You, Ever Again, and The Long Way Home, the pair have sought to expand understanding of the Jewish experience from WWII through present day, capturing the drama of world conflict, the unthinkable tragedy of the Holocaust and the unstinting spirit and sense of hope extending into the new millenium. For the score to In Search of Peace, Holdridge comments, "I intended In Search of Peace to play like a vast symphonic tone poem. I wanted to capture the drama of the stories being told in the film, the constant pull between the wars, the battles, the intrigue and the inspiration and the yearning for peace, tradition and a peaceful nation." Holdridge fuses his musical sensibilities—which he developed over several decades working in both narrative and documentary films—into a unique voice. CD producer Douglass Fake observes: “It’s Lee’s finest hour... or two hours, actually! I can’t say enough about the sheer power of this piece of music. In the center of CD 2 is a gorgeous sequence—the ‘Golda Suite’— that is built from five cues linked by her tender and emotional theme. It’s absolutely haunting and would make for a memorable, stand-alone concert piece.”

In Search of Peace features the complete score on 2-CDs and is limited to 1000 copies.

I ordered this along with Back to the Future - I love Holdridge's music, and the samples are just wonderful. Musically, I actually think this release will be more satisfying for me than BttF. Thank you, Intrada!

I haven't even gone past the second sound clip yet, and this music is simply gorgeous. If you haven't already ordered Back to the Future (which is already overshadowing this release, for sure), please consider this one as well!

Indeed, I had this added to my hasty BTTF order after listening to the stunning sound samples. An excellent companion to Gold's (and Tadlow's) Exodus.

I'm ordering this based on the stunning samples. BACK TO THE FUTURE will have to wait since I also just ordered the Rozsa Treasury. The music on these two is just more to my taste.
Plus they are limited and BTTF is apparently not.

It's always exciting to discover cool new film music that you didn't know anything about!

Yeah, this looks fantastic. Just the highlights from the sound samples:
-Opening with choir
-Orchestral Kol. Nidrei
-That beautiful piano cue that sounds similar to Exodus
-That war cue that everyone's crazy about
-The finale with a lovely Yerushalaim Shel Zahav rendition -- Schindler's List doesn't compare.

Must admit, I'm not familiar with Mr. Holdridge's music, apart from "Splash" and "Beastmaster," but this one sounds spectacular.

I am always excited to get another Holdridge release. Love his string arrangements. And this release is just another amazing work from a composer is quite comfortable in scoring for films/documentaries concerning the Jewish plight as evidenced by his work for:

The Long Way Home
Into the Arms of Strangers
I Have Never Forgotten You (Life & Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal)

Can't get enough Holdridge.

This will be my first Holdridge outside of his music that was included on the CD for the Beauty and the Beast television series. I really don't know much about his work, but the samples for In Search of Peace are stunning. I took the plunge, ordered it and am looking forward to discovering the rest of the score.

Actually, it is limited. But Intrada's allowed to go over 3000.

If the omission of UNLIKELY HEROES means you don't have it yet - well - GET IT!!! wink

Really looking forward to IN SEARCH OF PEACE and WINTERHAWK. It's been a surprisingly great year for Holdridge fans. smile

I'm glad I got mine early. I'm actually looking forward to this score more than the BTTF!
