Caldera Records proudly presents Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg & Lionel Baldenweg’s score for “In the Land of Saints & Sinners.” Director Robert Lorenz created a noir western that plays with genre elements: Following a bombing in Belfast four members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) go into hiding in the Irish coastal town of Glencolmcille—the law knows no mercy for killer terrorists. The group, including Doireann’s brother, Curtis (Desmond Eastwood), briefly find refuge, but unbeknownst to them, Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson), an assassin who works for a local gangster, lives in the vicinity. After being introduced to director Robert Lorenz long before “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” entered production, the Swiss/Australian siblings Diego, Nora and Lionel Baldenweg had a lengthy conversation about life and movies. Lorenz liked the siblings and was impressed by their previous work. Then when the film was nearing production, he invited them to sketch out some music based on the script. The composers focused on the characters, on developing solid themes and motifs. The ‘In The Land of Saints’ leitmotif for Liam Neeson’s character is one of them, and it appears in colorful variations in several tracks. While it reflects the deep melancholy expressed by Neeson’s face, it also perfectly captures Murphy’s determination, strong will, and great desire for freedom. Making the music for “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” was a unique family project. Even more so, because the sibling’s father, Pfuri came on board. He plays all of the harmonica parts, giving a one of a kind signature to the soundtrack with his many playing techniques. The western elements in the score—the aggressively threatening ‘Intruders’ plays almost like an homage to Ennio Morricone’s ‘Man with the Harmonica’—are infused with Celtic elements, subtle as they often are. The orchestra—consisting, among other things, of 56 strings, eleven woodwinds, and ten brass instruments—was recorded at Galaxy Studios in Belgium and conducted by the acclaimed conductor Dirk Brossé. The 58th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The album was mastered by Patricia Sullivan and produced by Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg & Lionel Baldenweg. The CD was produced by Stephan Eicke and John Elborg.

Kritzerland is proud to present a new limited edition release – three great scores on two CDs at a 1-CD price: JOHN WAYNE AT FOX – THE WESTERNS THE COMANCHEROS, NORTH TO ALASKA, THE UNDEFEATED Composed by Elmer Bernstein, Lionel Newman, Hugo Montenegro John Wayne at Fox – not a lot of films, but some extraordinarily entertaining ones. The Comancheros (1961), based on the 1952 novel by Paul I. Wellman, was directed by Michael Curtiz, the great director who’d done any number of classics, including some of the most beloved films of all time – Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood, Angels With Dirty Faces, The Sea Hawk, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Mildred Pierce, White Christmas, to name just a handful. Starring were Wayne, Stuart Whitman, Ina Balin, Lee Marvin, Nehemiah Persoff and Bruce Cabot. It’s a wonderful film with colorful performances, gorgeous photography, and a rousing musical score by Elmer Bernstein. At the time, Bernstein had just written what would become one of the most iconic western scores ever, The Magnificent Seven. The Comancheros was his follow up western score, and it, like the film it graces, is colorful, bigger than life, and filled with action and adventure. You know what you’re in for as soon as the first chords of the main title music begin, one of Bernstein’s all-time classic themes. But the score is rife with melody and invention and Bernstein’s music is as iconic and big as the Duke himself. A year earlier, the John Wayne Fox western was North to Alaska, a big, sprawling comedy western starring the Duke, Stewart Granger, enticing Capucine, Ernie Kovacs and teen heartthrob Fabian. The score, credited solely to Lionel Newman, but containing music by several others, fits the film like a glove. It’s got a tuneful title song by Mike Phillips, a nice song for Fabian called “If You Knew” and some fun original orchestral cues by Newman. Next we jump to the third of the Fox Wayne westerns, the 1969 film The Undefeated, starring Wayne and Rock Hudson, along with Roman Gabriel, Lee Meriwether, Bruce Cabot, Ben Johnson, Jan-Michael Vincent, Harry Carey, Jr., Paul Fix, Richard Mulligan, John Agar and Dub Taylor. Hugo Montenegro’s music for The Undefeated is big as all outdoors, with strong themes and a real sense of storytelling. As with many Western scores, there’s a lot of Copland “Americana” as well as a stirring main theme, some great dramatic scoring, some Mexican-flavored cues and even a hoedown Both The Comancheros and The Undefeated were previously released on CD by FSM, and North to Alaska was released on CD by Intrada – all are out of print – in the case of The Comancheros, for many years. But we’re pleased to bring them all together in one great 2-CD set – they’ve all been newly remastered for this release. John Wayne at Fox – The Westerns is limited to 1000 copies only and is priced at $19.98, plus shipping. Our hope is that CDs will ship by the last week of December or hopefully even sooner, but this is the busiest time of year for pressing plants, so there is the off chance that it could be early January. But the hope is to have them out the door before Christmas. Quelle:

So, dachte wir könnten hier mal ein par Western-Filmmusiken posten und darüber reden. Falls es einen ähnlichen Thread schon gibt bitte ich die Moderatoren, diesen hier in entsprechenden einzufügen. Aber bei 90 Threadseiten alles zu überprüfen, ob es so einen Thread schon gibt... Da könnte man ja vielleicht auch mal demnächst was löschen. Diese riesige Menge zu durchforsten kann müde machen Dimitri Tiomkin... Weiter mit Goldsmith... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxxRcn7Fh6w und Morricone, mit dem Titel Invention / Erfindung für John aus "Duck You Sucker / Giù la testa / Todesmelodie"... am besten hätte mir der in Frankreich eingesetzte Titel "Once upon a Time... the Revolution" gefallen Nelson Riddle - El Dorado Dimitri Tiomkin - Rio Bravo - Deguello For a Few Dollars More - La resa dei conti The Good, The Bad and the Ugly - Il Triello / The Trio I Giorni Della Violenza - Bruno Nicolai Main Title - How the West Was Won (1962) - Alfred Newman The Magnificent Seven - Main Titles - Elmer Bernstein
