Peti has some requests...

Now it's time for Peti's request.

Since a long time Peti and I (well.. only me) were looking for 3 scores, maybe any of you could be so kind and help me. As far as I know the first one indeed exists but only as iTunes download, the others are like my Holy Grials, but who knows...

- Das Jesus Video (2002, music by Egon Riedel)
German TV film about some archeologist that discovers something that could change man kind, totally recomended!!

- Guinevere (1994, music by Johnny Harris)
TV film about the famous lady that married King Arthur. The film starred Sheryl Lee as Guinevere and Sean Patrick Flanery as Arthur. The music is epic and medieval and there's no release yet.


- Christopher Columbus (1985, music by Riz Ortolani)
Italian/US production about the life of the historical marine starring Gabriel Byrne as Columbus, Faye Danaway as Queen Isabel, etc. An LP was released by Varese Sarabande and includes some score cues, what I'm looking for is an expanded/complete score for this miniseries.

- Jesus Of Nazareth (1977, music by Maurice Jarre)
Famous miniseries about the life of Jesus Christ starring Robert Powell, Anne Bancroft, Ernest Borgnine, etc. As many of you already know, there's an official CD released but I'm looking for any expanded or complete score.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!

The Juror


One of the still unreleased score by James Newton Howard: The Juror, a drama movie starring Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin. The music is dark in the style of Just Cause, seems that the source is a DVD rip because some tiny fx in a couple cues.

Madagascar


Still there's no promo with the complete score but at least we can enjoy this expanded? version of the music composed by Hans Zimmer, Jim Dooley and Heitor Pereira (among others) for this animated film. Also contains the music composed by Jim Dooley for the short "The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper". Covers are included.

Nip / Tuck


James S. Levine was the composer of this Fox mini series, the music quite good, modern style. Covers are included.

Noel


Alan Menken is not working too much this last years but here's the promotional score for the film Noel starring Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and Susan Sarandon. The music is beautiful and gentle, a really enjoyement. Covers are included.

Stephen King's Rose Red


Well, I must admit Gary Chang is not one of my fav composers but some people asked me for this promo release. The music is soft with piano and orchestra, misterious in some passages.

The Snow Walker


Here's the music for this artic-based film composed by Mychael Danna. The score is beautiful and dramatic, with some ethnic touches as Danna usually does.

Thanks again to iordanman!

Taken


One of the few female composers is presented now: Laura Karpman. Here's the expanded score for the Dreamwork's TV series "Taken". The music is full orchestral and has a Williams touch... in my opinion. Covers are included.

Island Of Lost Souls


The last piece of the week, a truly gem, a score that I was mentioned about a lot this last two weeks and I finally got last night. Here's the promotional release for a danish fantasy film "Island Of Lost Souls" and the music was composed by english- born Jane Antonia Cornish who was also an orchestrator of such films as Tomb Raider 2 and Big Fish. The music is gorgeous and powerfull, reminds me the big orchestral pieces by John Williams. Enjoy!!

Special thanks to iordanman.

Stargaze


This film is a documentary about stars and galaxies and includes music previously released by new age group called "2002". The music is calm and beautiful, you can imagine a space travel through the universe, a really enjoyable experience if you like this kind of music.

Peaceful Warrior


Director Victor Salva (Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2) again called film composer Bennet Salvay to score this sport-related movie, unfortunately the official release only includes songs but here you can get the original score.

This is an argentinian movie, a comedy about a couple policemen and their work togheter. The music was composed by argentinean Guillermo Guareschi, a nice work with an homage to Ennio Morricone, great score!

Turistas


Another Paul Haslinger effort, this time for a thriller film: a group of boys and girls on vacations in Brazil had an accident and stay in the jungle discovering a paradisiacal beach, but something happens... The music is modern and creepy, nothing extraordinary.

Dark City


The complete score composed by Trevor Jones, 2CDs full of music with excellent passages and strong orchestral sound.

Have a nice weekend!


Stepford Wives


Excellent score composed by David Arnold, the music sounds a bit like Danny Elfman, lot of fun and is a pity that there's no official release yet. Covers are included.

The Boys From Brazil


One of the most requested expanded scores by maestro Jerry Goldsmith. A very nice effort that includes a beautiful waltz for the main title. The source of the music seems a laser disc rip.

50 First Dates


Teddy Castellucci is the regular composer for the Adam Sandler films, this time Castellucci wrote a score in a tropical way, very enjoyable. Covers are included.

Return To The Blue Lagoon


Seems that Basil Poledouris actually didn't compose any new music for this sequel and the director instead re-used the music for the first film, since I never heard "The Blue Lagoon" (I know I know...) I can't say is true or not, somebody?

Moonlight & Valentino


Howard Shore was the composer of this Jovi-Goldberg-Turner film, the music is sweet and melodic, I specially enjoy the final suite of 7 min. The original score has no official release yet.
