Composed by: Jerry Goldsmith (1929 - 2004)
Performed by: Jerry Goldsmith conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra of London
Although Goldsmith was the king of the action score Total Recall remains pretty special, even by his own high standards. Working for the first time with Paul Verhoeven, who clearly deserves much credit for eliciting outstanding music from his composers (he also worked with the terrific Basil Poledouris), Goldsmith’s blisteringly complex, seamless fusion of dizzying orchestral writing with otherwordly electronics remains a high watermark in sci-fi/action scoring: intuitive, innovative and relentlessly exciting. His music zipping around as quickly as Arnie dodges on-screen bullets, Goldsmith himself marvelled at the sheer number of notes he’d composed for the project. Easily a candidate for the greatest action score of all time.

While we're at it, let's not forget about Béla Bartók's influence, I can hear references of his works teeming in this particular piece all around.

Awesome thanks for posting!! Love the abstract nature of this score less romantic style, rhythms and chords stretch the imagination which I know JG always wanted to do! 0:42 rite of spring...!

The one thing that i love very much in Jerry Goldsmith , is the syncoptated rythmic melodies and the percussive contra synthetic effects . Another composer who does that is James Horner , really in a different way of course . More Horneric way. The percussive sound is always a challenge to a composer , am a percussionist too and know how difficult is to a composer to orchestra the melodic with rythmic parts and combine them so perfectly like Goldsmith . I think in the score the '' Timbales '' part is Goldsmith's common used percussion set. The Roto toms ! Tuned toms which give a very nice effect in percussion section. That's one difference with James Horner . James never uses Roto toms . Only concert maple toms in different sizes for the drumming effects in his scores . And the most basic one difference . Goldsmith never orchestrates his music , uses orchestrators to do the work but James does it ! Are the two sides of the same coin , and love them both . Alien saga is a great paradigm of their both works ! Goldsmith is very good in horror too ( The omen ) but no James ... hes so emotional and adventourus . Both of them have their style, their vision and their taste . Both of them RIP!!

Thank you for these classic film scores. I saw all these movies as a kid. I was immersed in classical so much as a kid and am finding it again years later

I listenened to Bartok but don't hear it! Goldsmith doesn't even sound like Stravinsky at times he could write like holst and Ravel, but with all sorts of time sig changes. There is a passage in the score "The Challenge" is almost like Stravinsky, but again Goldsmith's take on it is different! Also in Nemesis the cue "the Mirror" has a very Bartok/Stravinsky style.

@@TB1M1 It's absolutely correct. Goldsmith didn't follow anybody in matter of style, musical choices, etc. It's purely based on inspiration from the picture itself. However, as a youngster he studied music profoundly with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (I would recommend Tedesco's orchestral compositions - Brilliant !!! and virtually unknown...). Other famous Tedesco's students were among others : John Williams, Henry Mancini, Andre Previn, Nelson Riddle - to name just the few :-) Wow !!! What a teacher !! Goodness Gracious... Part of Tedesco's teaching method was vertical and linerar realisation (at the same time) within certain scales, sometimes "invented" for the musical passage. You can have different hexa-, septa- or octatonic scales, not necessarily following Messiaen's concept, but freely derived from 12 tone rows. It clearly shows in all Hollywood's film music. Goldsmith also had film composition classes with Miklos Rozsa - one of the most famous pioneers of Hollywood's Golden Era. As an example of octatonic scale in rock music I always recommend to my students listening to "Carrying No Cross" by UK kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNeKp5yqv9yvZZs.html Entire middle instrumental part is based on septa- and octatonic scales pretty much in the same vein any hollywood composer would do :-)

I miss his scores in new movies. Can't believe he has been gone for 16 years already. Just out of curiousity on your work when you do these reductions: Do you have some form of piano reduction at hand or do you this stuff all by ear? I'm asking because I can't quite imagine figuring out those meter changes by just listening to a piece.

@tomekkobialka Жыл бұрын

Well, the whole idea of the video was to display a score with the instrumental lines merged together, creating a "condensed" score. The theory is that this conveys what the orchestra is playing more efficiently. In theory anyway!
