I'll be there. Yesterday the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra sent me an application to win one of the 5 copies. So what's to loose? I filled it out and sent it in. Hey, you never know!
An extra 30 minutes of music. Nice! I only saw the movie once and that was year's ago, so I have really no idea of what was left off. And of course, there could be alternates as well and cues that weren't in the film. Anyway, sounds good! I for one am glad the surprise was spoiled. It's just one day less of not knowing. I'll take that!
It took spunk to ruin this surprise. To quote a sitcom set in Indianapolis, "I hate spunk."*
*I don't really hate spunk, I do hate spoilers...
Actually, the sitcom you're quoting from was set in Minneapolis. So sayeth the late, great Ed Asner.
D'OH! I blame being a Brit for not being aware of it...to be fair, how quotable are One Day At A Time (the original) and Good Morning, Miss Bliss* (which were set there post a bit of research...)?
*Good Morning, Miss Bliss was what became Saved By The Bell.
I highly doubt that Varese cares that the news went out early. I'm sure they were the ones who set up the Indianapolis Symphony cd giveaway. Secrecy isn't the goal - sales is. And "there's no such thing as bad publicity" as the saying goes.
YAY: One of my remaining grails, I am so excited to finally have this.
NAY: Goddammit I haven't traveled for work in years and of course I'll be at a conference tomorrow. This better last longer than 12 hours.
Perusing the samples it looks like everything is here. For anyone asking about unreleased highlights, IMO there are a few:
- "No Catch" (track 2) is actually the film's main title cue and presents a gentle, lilting version of the main theme when we first meet Rudy playing football in the snow as a kid. I was hoping the album "Main Title" might be moved to its rightful place in sequence as the end title cue but whatever, that's no big deal.
- "More Training" (track 12) is a minor key variation on the main theme that covers the second "okay it's now or never I really need to get in or I'm screwed" montage. In a score where so much of the material is open and plaintive, it's a nice change of pace with a bit of a ghostly edge to it.
- "Accepted" (track 13) is probably the biggest highlight from the unreleased material, for the scene when Rudy finally gets in to Notre Dame. It's a great mix of tones as Goldsmith weaves from the hesitant, minor key "waiting" material into a grand statement of the main theme. Great stuff.
