| A movie I found out of the blue this week is SALTO, a 1965 film by Tadeusz Konwicki. It's being released on DVD by Facets Video. Konwicki is known as one of Poland's most important postwar novelists, but it turns out he directed six features and one episode of an anthology, and now I'd like to see all of them. |

| I'm enjoying a collection of Leonard Bernstein's lectures on the old OMNIBUS series hosted by Alistair Cooke. Bernstein embarked on these after his success with the score for ON THE WATERFRONT, as Cooke mentions in one of his introductions. |

| It's been 10 years since the U.S. Postal Service issued a series of six stamps honoring classic Hollywood composers. In 1999, Bernard Herrmann, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman, Max Steiner, Dimitri Tiomkin, and Franz Waxman were officially en-stamped. |

| Alexeieff's colorful advertising films, whose abstractions often have little direct relation to the function of the product in question, are often presented with titles and a music credit. The disc comes with a long technical booklet explaining the animation techniques but says nothing about the music, so I'm filling in a few blanks here. |

| Brothers and sisters, it's devil music. No, I'm not talking about rock and roll, but about two related clichés in horror scores about bad kids: the children's choir and the demonic lullaby. These subjects occurred to me when reading a reference to a children's choir used in Jonathan Elias' soundtrack to the original CHILDREN OF THE CORN. A book is waiting to be written on this subject, but I'm not writing it. In case anyone is planning to write it, however, here are a few incomplete notes. |

| I'm not really such a cast-album person but neither do I eschew them. I've heard some things, he says chewing a nail. When I listen, I imagine a movie in my head, and sometimes I wish that movie had been made. Is it too late? What are shows that would film well? |
