I always get a kick out of the vocalise myself - kind of a superhero throwback idea, and musically more interesting than it otta be. But mostly, just so glad to get so much more of Rosenman's score (for a movie I utterly despise). And Raggedy Man at last! It's not my favorite kind of Goldsmith score, but I know Jerry loved writing this kind of sweet music, so I'll be listening with a lump in the throat and memories of the 45+ years of joy this fella brought me. Two thumbs up!

I'm a big Rosenman fan, but .... it. I'm calling my divorce lawyer!

Reminiscent of his 1970s bucolic scores (like the lighter cues in THE OTHER). Yes, I was thinking of The Waltons, and Room 222 as well.

I had hoped for Air Force One, but I am grateful for RoboCop 2. And so I ordered that.

According to Varèse Sarabande on Facebook over 500 copies of Raggedy Man have already been sold.

Rootling around on Amazon Prime UK this morning, I found a 1963 American TV movie of Alexander The Great (starring William Shatner), scored by Leonard Rosenman. To kill a few minutes, I listened to the end credits music and there's a choir there singing "Alexander!!!!". Regarding Robocop 2 specifically: I've listened to the original album again (first time in ages) but still not sure whether I want a full 69 minutes of it.

Rootling around on Amazon Prime UK this morning, I found a 1963 American TV movie of Alexander The Great (starring William Shatner), scored by Leonard Rosenman. To kill a few minutes, I listened to the end credits music and there's a choir there singing "Alexander!!!!". Heaven forbid he used a choir for that! Whoever heard of a greek chorus? The music is actually available from Film Music Society which can be found by rootling online. [1] It just struck me as odd that Robocop 2 isn't the only example of Rosenman using a chorus to sing the lead character's name (in the case of Alexander there are other lyrics, but even so). Did he do this on every score? [2] That's not what a Greek choris is. [3] Wouldn't know about FMS. Regarding Robocop 2 specifically: I've listened to the original album again (first time in ages) but still not sure whether I want a full 69 minutes of it. Hmmm. Then don't buy it. [4] Maybe I won't then. Thanks for the advice. Sorry to bother you.

Did he do this on every score? Well, on The Lord of the Rings for Ralph Bakshi, he had a choir just sing "Moooooooordooooooorrrr" a lot. Yavar
