If you were to pick one score, yes, only one score from 2001-2011, what would it be? I am talking about one that you give a lot of playing time! I do not want your top 2, 5or 10, just one. I have had a problem with finding great scores in the last 10 years, but I have one that I always go back to listen to over and over again!! A score that works wonders in the film and can stand by itself.
Re-releases or re-recordings of old scores (pre-2001) do not count. The film had to be released in the theaters in 2001-2011.


My one score is HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. Powell knocked it out of the park on this one!

My choice would be any one of Shore's LOTR scores, the first and third in particular...

You still have to pick just one.

My goodness, you are an exacting bastard! ;-)

OK, then, FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING! Also happens to be my fave of the three films.....

That is why I am asking, they are hard to find!

I don't own that many.

A few that come to mind are:

Catch Me If you Can by John Williams
The Incredibles by Michael something or other
Sideways by Rolfe Kent. Or is that Rolf Kente?

Why can't the year 2000 come out and play?

By the way, funny you bring this up. I'm currently producing a Best Scores of the New Millennium program. Recording the show tonight actually. Hope to have the honorable mentions portion of the show up tomorrow or Thursday. This will coincide with my Best of 2011 show!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Great themes and a composition techinque that reminded of the Golden Williams of the 80s..

Jurij - Leonard Rosenman (2001). It's his final score, and one of his best - a perfect distillation of his skills as a composer (a fragile, wonderful main theme, including, in the cue "Do You Remember the Sky?" a solo piano version performed by Leonard himself - not to mention the other great material written for the film) and adapter (his closing adaptation of Vitali's "Ciaconna per Violino," and the way he deftly weaves his own violin passages into the work is incredibly beautiful).

roll eyes

I really don't buy that.

I find it impossible to just choose one, but if I go through the many scores I can pick from, and choose which albums has many different sounds, and where I can still discover some new things, I'm inclined to what some might look upon as a strange choice and pick Battlestar Galactica - Season 2 by the wonderful Bear McCreary.

James Newton Howard's Signs. The last track, The Hand of Fate Part II, has become my favorite single track I can't get enough of.

That would be Michael Giacchino, pronounced in English as 'Juh-KEE-no'. And I would probably pick the Incredibles - the score that got Giacchino noticed AND the score that turned me toward film music.

Ha, ha...I absolutely LOVE topics that force people to limit their choices! It's very therapeutic, actually.

So hold on, I'll have to do some thinking and get back to you.

If only it wasn't attached to such an awful movie!
