Perhaps the people on this forum can help the people there. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/music-like-goldsmiths-planet-of-the-apes-ost.1202001/    Posted:   Aug 22, 2024 - 7:35 PM     By:   ZardozSpeaks   (Member) "The Crash" pilot for LAND OF THE GIANTS is John Williams crafting an POTA-like score. Richard LaSalle emulated directly Goldsmith's APES music for TV shows such as WONDER WOMAN. Portions of Riz Ortolani's score for Non si sevizia un paperino use echo delay on stabbing strings. While Chato's Land is a Western, Jerry Fielding provided music fitting for a sci-fi in a desert setting. We hope FSMers all know that Leonard Rosenman did 2 of the APES films. However, a few years before POTA, Rosenman had done the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC segment "Dr. Leakey and the Dawn of Man" which could be a companion score to an APES soundtrack - same with LR's Fantastic Voyage. Plus there is earlier Goldsmith, as well. The escape music in Shock Treatment. Much of The Satan Bug and "Jonah and the Whale" have similarities to the APES music ... and there are those dramatic/action cues in The Sand Pebbles. Former member 'OnyaBirri' once pondered if Goldsmith was influenced by Alex North's Africa album just prior to his writing for POTA, but I can't say if there was any direct correlation between the two. North's unused music for 2001 shares similarities with POTA, I'd say. Don't rule out Lady in a Cage by Paul Glass ... or perhaps even William Kraft's Avalanche!    Posted:   Aug 22, 2024 - 9:14 PM     By:   Zooba   (Member) From a thread I did a while back. Goldsmith's APEILLON? I can vividly see Steve McQueen and Dusty Hoffman in tattered loin cloths being chased by simians on horseback. Greetings from that cornfield in French Guiana.    Posted:   Aug 22, 2024 - 9:17 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Listen to the opening of JG’s Freud for a tad peek into the future POTA.    Posted:   Aug 22, 2024 - 10:12 PM     By:   steffromuk   (Member) I feel like Michel Colombier's Colossus: The Forbin Project has some kind of musical connection with Goldsmith's POTA. Mostly for its use of percussion and atonal melody.    Posted:   Aug 22, 2024 - 11:38 PM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) 100 Rifles is a western score with a lot of "Planet of the Apes" elements. Fantastic Voyage is another film score that, while not as percussive, shares a lot of the harmonic palette with "Planet of the Apes" (as do Rosenman's other two Apes scores).    Posted:   Aug 23, 2024 - 1:00 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I think a lot of the music that John Williams wrote for the KRAFT episode "The Hunt" has a definite POTA vibe. Of course, it's unreleased, so you'll have to suffice with YouTube.    Posted:   Aug 27, 2024 - 7:01 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Much of The Satan Bug I called it "Proto-POTA"    Posted:   Aug 27, 2024 - 10:55 PM     By:   ian642002   (Member) The Columbo episode 'Negative Reaction' is clearly modelled on POTA's score. If you want to be nerdish about it (and who doesn't?), play the 'Forbidden Zone' track before watching the Columbo episode, and you'll pick up some of the musical hints and touches used in it.    Posted:   Aug 28, 2024 - 11:32 AM     By:   johnbijl   (Member) Goldsmith’s own Von Ryan’s Express has cues *very* similar to Planet of the Apes. Some of Chris Young’s Def Con 4 is… even more similar    Posted:   Aug 28, 2024 - 12:05 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) This cue from Brannigan - Dominic Frontiere - sounds familiar. Not ragging on Mr. Frontiere. The man was a Legend. https://youtu.be/nMtZKpyhIRY?si=d-njueBxeU6DkPkI    Posted:   Aug 31, 2024 - 3:04 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Much of The Satan Bug I called it "Proto-POTA" By the by, I almost mis-read that as "March of the Satan Bug," which got me excited about maybe finding the sheet music for it.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2024 - 7:32 PM     By:   ZardozSpeaks   (Member) Much of The Satan Bug I called it "Proto-POTA" By the by, I almost mis-read that as "March of the Satan Bug," which got me excited about maybe finding the sheet music for it. At least you didn't see it as Mooch of The Satan Bug    Posted:   Sep 3, 2024 - 7:32 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Some of Edgard Varese sounds like POTA.    Posted:   Sep 6, 2024 - 3:23 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) This Sporting Life (1963) by Roberto Gerhard.    Posted:   Sep 15, 2024 - 4:16 AM     By:   moolik   (Member) Well the one closest to PLANET OF THE APES might be the track " The waiting game" and track " The 14th Part" from TORA TORA TORA!    Posted:   Sep 15, 2024 - 4:45 AM     By:   Sartoris   (Member) This cue from Brannigan - Dominic Frontiere - sounds familiar. Not ragging on Mr. Frontiere. The man was a Legend. https://youtu.be/nMtZKpyhIRY?si=d-njueBxeU6DkPkI Indeed, it sounds like a "cop movie soundtrack alternate version" of POTA. I never realized that....buy you are right.    Posted:   Sep 15, 2024 - 4:48 AM     By:   Sartoris   (Member) From a thread I did a while back. Goldsmith's APEILLON? I can vividly see Steve McQueen and Dusty Hoffman in tattered loin cloths being chased by simians on horseback. Greetings from that cornfield in French Guiana. You are right Joe, and that's when you listen to such dramatic music cue that you realize that Jerry Goldsmith remains the most cinematic film composer of all time (imho). Mostly unsurpassed, unequalled....except by John Williams, Alex North and Leonard Rosenman (imho once again).     General Discussion: Scores similar to Goldsmith's Planet of the Apes    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
