The Godfather (soundtrack)
''The Godfather'' is the soundtrack from the film of the same name, released in 1972 by Paramount Records, and in 1991 on compact disc by MCA. Unless noted, the cues were composed by Nino Rota and conducted by Carlo Savina (who was credited on the LP, but not the CD). The song "I Have but One Heart" is sung by Al Martino, who performed it in the film as character Johnny Fontane. The score was nominated for an Academy Award; however, the Academy withdrew the nomination after determining that the "Love Theme" was a rewritten version of Nino Rota's music from the 1958 film '' Fortunella''. Background and recording Coppola hired Italian composer Nino Rota to create the underscore for the film, including the main theme, " Speak Softly, Love". In October 1971, Coppola flew to Rome with a copy of the film to give Rota to view and create the score accordingly. For the score, Rota was to relate to the situations and characters in the film.

Music Of The Lord Of The Rings Film Series
The music of ''The Lord of the Rings'' film series was composed, orchestrated, conducted and produced by Howard Shore between 2000 and 2004 to support Peter Jackson's film trilogy. It is notable in terms of length of the score, the size of the staged forces, the unusual instrumentation, the featured soloists, the multitude of musical styles and the number of recurring musical themes used. Shore wrote many hours of music for the trilogy, effectively scoring the film for its entire length. Over 13 hours of the music (including various alternate takes) have been released across various formats. Shore conceived the score as operatic and antiquated-sounding. He made use of an immense ensemble including a large symphony orchestra (principally, the London Philharmonic Orchestra), multiple instrumental "bands", various choirs, and vocal and instrumental soloists, requiring an ensemble ranging from 230 to 400 musicians. The series music is widely regarded as a milestone in the history ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Matrix Reloaded (score)
''The Matrix Reloaded: Limited Edition (2-CD Set)'' is a score album to the 2003 film ''The Matrix Reloaded''. It was officially released on August 27, 2013. Unlike the first soundtrack, which featured songs from the film, this release includes almost the entire film's score on two discs. Owing to licensing issues, the soundtrack does not include the film versions of two cues, Free Flight and Double Trouble. Prior to the La-La Land release, a bootleg version had surfaced containing much the same material as the official release. However, despite being billed as the complete score, that album did not include a number of cues from the film, such as the extended version of the track "The Bane Transformation" and the cue directly after it, "The Bane Voyage". Track listing Composed, orchestrated and conducted by Don Davis. Performed by The Hollywood Studio Symphony. Critical reception Though reviews of this soundtrack have been relatively scarce in comparison to the first one, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
