Anyone ever heard this or what it sounds like?

Thanks,

Looks like they just used his WIND AND THE LION music for it:

Do you think the music works with the OTHELLO material?

Go to the "Jerry Goldsmith Online" website and search with the term "Othello" for some detailed discussions on this matter going back for about two years.

Hello Folks,

I found a videotape I had of the complete Belling the Slayer ballet. I've uploaded it to YouTube and reached out to the Columbus BalletMet to see if they're cool with me sharing the link.

Anybody have more info on the history of this ballet? Yavar?!?!?

That seems a much better use of the music than the film (not a fan). Have you overlaid the recorded music atop the video or is it just the source sound?

Hi Gang,

Apparently the whole thing is here:

The music is performed live by the orchestra in the pit, great job!

Everything I know I learned from Bryan Erdy—who I believe is the person who gave you your tape! He talked to Jens all about it on The Goldsmith Odyssey:

Based on really digging Belling the Slayer, I for one would really love to know more about (and find recordings of) the OTHER ballets based on Goldsmith film scores. Othello sounds awesome.

Oh wow, thanks for sharing this, it's so fascinating to hear the music performed live and re-structured for a ballet.

Every time the CAP ONE Main Title music played I kept waiting for Sam Waterston, James Brolin and O.J. to suddenly come in from the wings doing pirouettes in their Casual Learjet outfits.

Fun to hear Goldsmith's music played so boldly from the Orchestra Pit. Great performance of the music. What a Soundtrack Nerd's dream, watching sexy beautiful ballet gals strutting their stuff and hearing Goldsmith's CAPRICORN ONE score. The guy wearing the huge Reindeer Horns should be commended for just not falling over.

Wonder if Goldsmith ever saw this and what he thought of it?

This musta beena pain, getting all this together and paying for everything.

I once asked after this score at Warmer Brothers, but it wasn't done there. I wonder where the music was.

Hearing the part at 12:00 made me think that COMA would have been a better choice for a ballet adaptation. As it is, like The Zoob, I had to push the film out of my brain while hearing the music. It would have been nice, though, to hear the music performed live.

What kills me is I was living in Columbus when this was performed and didn't know a thing about it; it would have blown my mind to see this live. I doubt anyone tracked down the score for this--all the music is from the LP rerecording so I'm pretty sure whoever did this just listened to that and transcribed it by ear the way Leigh Philips has done for a number of Goldsmith recordings. It is very well-performed though. The whole ballet seems vaguely satanic so I almost wish they'd pulled from The Mephisto Waltz or The Omen but maybe that would be too on-the-nose (and there wouldn't have been an album of the former to examine at the time).

Which is a sh**-ton of work, compared to getting the actual paper. So, still a pain.

Yes, don't mean to imply that it isn't.

The written scores for Capricorn 1 wouldn't have been too difficult to track down back them. Jerry had mastercopies of the full scores and sketches. Intrumental parts and photocopies were boxed and archived. I would be surprised if anyone did a full takedown. It's a shame that this wasn't recorded in better quality. It's a great concept. Jerry's music lends itself well to dance.

I just think if the production had access to the full scores there would be at least a bit of music here or there that isn't EXACTLY what's on the LP rerecording. There's a lot of repetition of pieces, which of course does provide a kind of structure, but which is not exactly what you hear in a composed ballet. And if you lived and worked in Columbus in 1989 I doubt you'd have any kind of direct line to Goldsmith's scores or even awareness of where to look for them. Anything is possible, but I would be as shocked to hear that they got access to the original written score as you would be that they did a complete takedown... smile

yeah, but where? And those sound like the LP versions of the tracks, not the film tracks.
