Author	Topic: Tuck Everlasting and The Horse Whisperer

TimT Goldmember	Check these two tracks out and tell me what you think. The Rhythm of the Horses from The Horse Whisperer and Winnie and the Tucks from Tuck Everlasting.

Jeron Goldmember	Tim, I heard the similarity a few weeks ago when I first got to listen to the score. This is a simple case of temp-love... I doubt it was William Ross' preference to include that on the CD, nor his decision. Great stuff, otherwise! Jeron

TimT Goldmember	You mean its not a hack? Theres another track that sounded like Last of the Mohicans but I can't remember which.

Al Goldmember	TimT, I'll admit you've come a long way from the days when you didn't see any similarity between U-571 and Air Force One(Another case of temp-love).

Tim - Sometimes composers are backed into corners. Sad, yes - but when it comes down to whether or not you get the nice check at the end of the project, you do your best to stay on everyone's good side. When ya get bigger (A-list size), it's much easier to resist this, I'm sure. I wouldn't fault Mr. Ross for this. I'm willing to bet he was just doing his job. He's a fine composer. If he were given the opportunity to score the scene the way he wanted to, I'm sure it would have been phenomenal and entirely original. Just my thoughts...

I still don't. They are the same type of heroic music, you could even swap them, but they don't sound the same. And I assume you only talking about one of the themes, because the score as a whole is nothing like Air Force One.

Jeron Goldmember	Al, looks like you're gonna have to take back what you said.

Al Goldmember	You're right, Jeron. TimT, you've gone full circle without knowing it. NP: Mancini's "Great Mouse Detective" (wonderful theme, albeit short)

TimT Goldmember	Well you know, I don't care. I'm glad I don't hear the simularities! That means I can enjoy both scores better than you ever could!

Jeron Goldmember	LOL... now Tim, play nice. It's entirely possible to recognize similarities and still enjoy the music without letting it bother you. I do that all the time with James Horner. [Message edited by Jeron on 10-09-2002]

Crono/Kyp Goldmember	I agree with my pal Jeron on all points. I think Ross did a find job with the score, but I'm sure the "temp" issue was a large part of it. Tim, just enjoy the music. --Brian

Al Goldmember	I enjoyed Marvin's U-571 score in the film very much; it was almost as if Goldsmith himself had scored it!

jonathan_little Goldmember	I swear Jerry scored Dante's Peak as well... but no such luck.
