Author	Topic: "Piano" compilation

sean Standard Userer	Hi all, I'm making a compilation of sorts for a friend of mine with a request that it be comprised mainly of scores that have a piano at the forefront of the themes. I have some pieces picked out off the top of my head, but would appreciate any recommendations/suggestions from you guys on what else I might include. As much as I'd love to throw in something like Goldsmith's "Ilia's Theme" from Star trek: The Motion Picture, it would stray from what I've already thought of. These are just off the top of my head... “The Rain” Joe Hisaishi, Kikujiro “The Gravel Road” James Newton Howard, The Village “Consequences & Loss” [exit] Antonio Pinto, Lord Of War “Sunset” [aka. “Tennessee”] Hans Zimmer, Pearl Harbour “Wong Chia Chi’s Theme” Alexandre Desplat, Lust, Caution One thing that eludes me that I'd love to include, being in Canada, is the Memoirs Of A Geisha iTunes EP where John Williams plays "Sayuri's Theme" on piano with Yo-Yo Ma on cello. Can anyone help me with that one? Thanks. [Message edited by sean on 03-10-2008]

sean Standard Userer	Oh, wow! Thanks a bunch. I'd complete forgotten about that thread, and that's silly since I even recommended Barry's beautiful Indecent Proposal in it! Email has been sent.

Jeron Standard Userer	Sean, Mark Camilleri made me a 4 or 5 disc compilation, thoughtfully sequenced, of music from movies featuring piano. It turned out pretty darn good. Mark, do you have those track listings?

TimT Standard Userer	More Kaczmarek comes to mind. Unfaithful as well as Lost Souls feature some standout piano pieces. Then theres Terence Blachard's Caveman's Valentine. The Hours by Philip Glass

Someone isn't reading the posts before he replies There have been loads of great piano-heavy releases since then, mostly thanks to Desplat and Marianelli.

nuts_score Standard Userer	If you sell this compilation and donate your proceeds to the Star Trek charity I might consider downloading it off of Soulseek.

(You mean to make Star Trek "good"? How concerned are you that Roberto and Alex might be writing The Man Of Steele for Brian?) Everyone else: Thank you.

sean Standard Userer	Here's what I came up with after much humming and hawing and mixing and matching (there are obviously numerous pieces I couldn't cram onto the disc that I wanted to, and so I should have gone for a double album like Camillu, but I didn't--some missing cues are "Ilia's Theme" from Goldsmith's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Basil Poledouris' "The Decision" from For The Love Of the Game, and a certain beautiful theme from John Barry's Indecent Proposal): 01. "Pianos" [06:59] from Serenada Schizophrana, Danny Elfman 02. "Maestro" [03:53] from The Holiday, Hans Zimmer 03. "Charades" [05:49] from Lady In The Water, James Newton Howard 04. "Avner's Theme" [06:14] from Munich, John Williams* 05. "Battlestar Sonatica" [04:45] from Battlestar Galactica: Season 3, Bear McCreary 06. "Prospectors Arrive" [04:34] from There Will Be Blood, Jonny Greenwood 07. "Jack's Theme" [04:05] from Pirates Of The Caribbean: Unreleased, Hans Zimmer 08. "Atonement" [05:15] from Atonement, Dario Marianelli 09. "Road To Chicago" [03:06] from Road To Perdition, Thomas Newman 10. "The Ludlows" [05:38] from Legends Of The Fall, James Horner 11. "Sunset" [03:38] from Pearl Harbour, Hans Zimmer 12. "Wong Chia Chi's Theme" [03:43] from Lust, Caution, Alexandre Desplat 13. "The Rain" [05:38] from Kikujiro, Joe Hisaishi 14. "Consequences And Loss" [04:27] from Lord Of War, Antonio Pinto 15. "S.O.P. Theme #1: Standard Operating Procedure" [05:56] from Standard Operating Procedure, Danny Elfman 16. "Leave No Man Behind" [06:17] from Black Hawk Down, Hans Zimmer Total Time: 01:19:48 *This is a mix I made using the guitar rendition of Williams' theme until it ends and then moving it into the end credits piece where the piano breaks in
