"Music By James Bernard: Themes For A Tapestry Of Terror," a look back at the creator of "The Hammer Sound," may be found at their web site by clicking onto the gothic musical link found below... www.americanmusicpreservation.com/JamesBernardThemesTerror.htm Best Wishes, Steve Vertlieb    Posted:   Oct 25, 2011 - 6:47 AM     By:   Loverozsa   (Member) Steve, I ,too, met Mr. Bernard at a FANEX and concur with your assessment of his kind and generous nature. Your article is wonderful! Here's hoping that we might get a new recording of "Curse Of Frankenstein" and "Horror Of Dracula" some day. Great job with honoring this fine composer. God Bless!    Posted:   Oct 25, 2011 - 8:11 PM     By:   Steve Vertlieb   (Member) Yes, Jimmy was a delightful man who literally charmed everyone with whom he connected. The tone of my article was deeply influenced by his kindness, friendship, and generosity. I'm deeply indebted to you, as well, for your own lovely expression of generosity and kindness. Thank you sincerely. Blessings, Steve    Posted:   Oct 25, 2011 - 8:43 PM     By:   Pete Apruzzese   (Member) Nice article, Steve. Thanks for sharing it.    Posted:   Oct 27, 2011 - 3:37 AM     By:   Steve Vertlieb   (Member) Jimmy's music grows ever lovelier with each passing year. He remains truly one of the great unsung heroes of motion picture music, a gentle soul whose inner strength and passion served to enrich a sadly misunderstood genre, aspiring to near operatic grandeur in his artistry and devotion to his genius and craft. Your appreciation of his music would have brought him much happiness. Steve Vertlieb    Posted:   Oct 27, 2011 - 6:55 AM     By:   dan the man   (Member) Wonderful, when i get a minute i will be very happy to read that article.Steve-ditto- ditto-James did a great job in music with the contrast of moody scores and lush beautiful melodies, the only regret is i wish he had done more.TCM will be showing a few of his achievements on Halloween, The gorgon, Dracula- prince of darkness, dracula has risen.    Posted:   Oct 27, 2011 - 10:58 AM     By:   Dr Lenera   (Member) A really good article about a composer who was one of the first to get me into film music.    Posted:   Oct 27, 2011 - 11:25 AM     By:   jonnyquest   (Member) Jimmy's music grows ever lovelier with each passing year.

Not to mention true. Fortunately, the music will live on: think of how lucky others will be when they one day hear Bernard's exquisite music and discover what some of us already know. The man was a master. I don't know if anyone has put it like this before, but one of the things that's especially attractive about his Hammer music is that (IMO) it's a perfect fusion of Golden Age lush ornateness with Silver Age astringency and freshness. It's the best of both worlds. And it's just gorgeous. Thanks again for sharing the link to your great article.    Posted:   Oct 30, 2011 - 9:58 AM     By:   Steve Vertlieb   (Member) On Halloween day, Turner Classic Movies will be screening four of Jimmy's Hammer scored films, including "The Gorgon," and "Frankenstein Created Woman." It will be great way to commemorate both the season of fright, and a frighteningly brilliant composer's memory. Steve    Posted:   Oct 30, 2011 - 12:21 PM     By:   Graham S. Watt   (Member) Lovely article, Steve. You put into words what I always failed to express when trying to get across my appreciation of his great (see?) scores and the wonderful man behind them.    Posted:   Sep 19, 2012 - 3:35 AM     By:   Steve Vertlieb   (Member) Wishing you a wonderful birthday in Hammer Heaven, Jimmy. Much Love, Steve    Posted:   Sep 19, 2012 - 8:21 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) R.I.P JAMES, you made my love life so much better You brought out that through all the hardships of life, in fiction or life there is beauty and romantic interludes that keep us going, sometimes we wonder how, but it does.    Posted:   Sep 20, 2012 - 8:22 PM     By:   Steve Vertlieb   (Member) He was a wonderful soul, and a cherished friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you today, Jimmy. Happy Birthday, old friend. Steve    Posted:   Sep 20, 2012 - 8:28 PM     By:   msmith   (Member) Great article. It sounds like James Bernard was lucky to have you as a friend also.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2013 - 8:41 AM     By:   Steve Vertlieb   (Member) Since there seems to be so much activity currently on the Hammer Music thread, and since James Bernard was the premier composer for that studio, I thought I'd take a moment to re-post this particular thread concerning Jimmy's music, life, and career. Best Wishes for the New Year, Steve    Posted:   Apr 25, 2015 - 12:31 PM     By:   rbrisbane_1984   (Member) ok let's get these released or re-recorded! now! https://youtu.be/6rs-4t2QNZM     General Discussion: "MUSIC BY JAMES BERNARD: A TAPESTRY OF TERROR"    < 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
