If you had to pick a favourite cue from the score Dances with Wolves, which one would you pick and why? (From any release).

The Buffalo Hunt (Film Version) - do I have to say why, I think playing says it all.

Two Socks - The Wolf Theme

Just a very attractive melody and a gentle, soothing theme.

Journey to Fort Sedgewick/Shooting Star/The John Dunbar Theme

I get chills when I hear this, and it's even more effective in the film.

I'll second this one.

The love theme, I think it's like track 14 on the newest CD version, but my most FAVORITE few seconds of score is like the final 20 seconds of the end credits cue when the trumpet has a solo, gosh it makes me knees weak, some of the most gorgeous writing ever.

This simple little love theme works beautifully in this sequence of the film:

This new thread is a good place to mention to UK folk that the great American comedian Rich Hall recently produced another FANTASTIC 90 minute documentary about Hollywood's depiction of Native Americans, 'Inventing the Indian' shown on BBC4. I really hope these great films get a US airing sometime. Hall is brilliant, and his approach avoids every pitfall you can imagine re presenting this type of material in a non-patronising way. And he's a hoot, as ever:

It might be available on the iPlayer.

Hall cites 'Dances with Wolves' as one of the best of such movies, though he's critical too. He heaps scorn on 'A Man Called Horse', justifiably (a crock apart from the score ...), a film much hated by Indians.

I've always liked part 2 of the main title which plays against scenes of the demoralised and broken soldiers along the frontline.
It's one of those great somber Barry moments which grabs you and pulls you into the onscreen importance. Also love the subtle hints of the John Dunbar theme at the conclusion.

Unfortunately Americans can't view it on the BBC website, but someone has uploaded it to youtube. Looks fascinating!

Pawnee Attack
Farewell/End Title

Not easy, so many great cues in this score!

If I had to pick just one, it'd be The Buffalo Hunt.

BUT ...

This is one of those scores that you can't really rip inti parts and study those parts in isolation.

What's even better than any one single cue is the lovely way it becomes a 90-minute journey in which themes are introduced, developed, intertwined and resolved.

I wonder when the complete score will come out?

The expanded CD is a big improvement but there's still about 20 minutes of (good) unreleased score.

Cheers

"Two Socks/The Wolf Theme".
Simplicity itself. Joy and innocence. All that is good in us.
Brings tears to my eyes like few other themes in all of film music.

For me "Dances With Wolves" is the most beautiful score of the last 25 years. So beautiful, in fact, that it always gave me the feeling that some otherwordly force was directly involved in the making...!
