Author	Topic: Tranquil Sailing Music

Pete M Oscar® Winner	Okay, next week I'm going away for a fortnight on my brother's little boat, & I would like to take some fairly chilled, lovely, peaceful, watching the world drift by at 5mph kind of music (with a little more up-tempo stuff too to prevent boredom). I've put together one compilation to give you an idea of what I'm talking about: Side 1 Tombstone : A Family/Arrival in Tombstone Jaws : Out to Sea Total Recall : The Mutant Krull : End Title (May change this one ) The Beach : Mythical Waters/Starnight Mimic : Re-united Christopher Columbus The Discovery : The Great Sea True Women : Setting Out Sleepy Hollow : A New Day Scream 3 : Sid Wears a Dress Side 2 The Saint : Love Theme Finale The Crow Salvation : Love Theme Finale The Thin Red Line : The Village Star Trek The Motion Picture : The Enterprise Circle of Friends : You're The One Land's End : Goodbye/Baja Dreams (End Title) The World Is Not Enough : Body Double Father Kolbe's Preaching (Wojciech Kilar) I'd like to put together another tape, but wasn't sure what to put on it. Any suggestions of tracks (or something to replace Krull) would be really helpful. Thanks Pete

Lancelot Oscar® Winner	(Would you believe I actually have a section in my library dedicated to sailing music...?) OBVIOUS: Anything from WHITE SQUALL, WIND....perhaps even Gabriel Yared's MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, John Barry's SWEPT FROM THE SEA...SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS...and WATERWORLD, of course... NON-OBVIOUS: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION....THE LEGEND OF 1900....FOR LOVE OF THE GAME....JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (Bruce Rowland)... **Reccomended: the Imax soundtracks "The Living Sea" and "Dolphins" -- Has great Sting/The Police instrumental renditions.

PeterK FishChip	"Off to Gorgon" from Goldsmith's Small Soldiers score! I would throw in a lot of Poledouris music, from Wind to The Blue Lagoon to For the Love of the Game and maybe Les Miserables. PeterK NP - "Waterworld" by JN Howard

Howard L Oscar® Winner	I would highly recommend "Land Ho" from Victor Young's Around The World In 80 Days, and for a very similar seaworthy mood, the early music aboard the yacht in Max Steiner's A Summer Place, not to mention the music in the opening credits.

Rang Oscar® Winner	"Italia" and/or "Ripley" from Yared's THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY.

Camillu Oscar® Winner	I'd have to second Legend of 1900 - the lovely 8 minute second track. What a beautiful climax. Oh, and how about Shakespeare in Love - The End NP - see above

Scorro Oscar® Winner	A lot of good suggestions, I would add (if you have this one)... Moby Dick (Christopher Gordon), main theme is epic! Enjoy! _Sc

Timmer Oscar® Winner	Put your Captain's hat on, get your sailor's horn pipe and play Ron Goodwin's theme to The Trap! (familiar to British listeners as the theme to the London Marathon). Alternatively does anything beat Aram Khachaturian's adagio from 'Spartacus' as a sea faring theme?....I THINK NOT!! NP : Mysterious Mountain - Alan Hovhaness

Howard L Oscar® Winner	Agreed. Adagio from Spartacus is the most beautiful music on the face of the Earth.

JJH Oscar® Winner	Calm music for sailing? Debussy: La Mer John Scott and Mark Snow (separate films): 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and yet another nod for The Straight Story. Possibly the 2nd best score of 1999, after Red Violin. Certainly one of the most calming discs you will buy. NP -- The Second Jungle Book, John Scott; it's taking a while to grow on me, but it's slowly working it's magic.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Though not that tranquil, I'd recommend Korngold's Captain Blood Overture as an opener. Just don't hoist a black flag after hearing it...
