Poll question: Favorite Maurice Jarre Movie Score |
|
He's had quite the varied career--watching the extras on the Dr. Zhivago DVD got me thinking about this. I think I'll have to vote for Dr.Z.

6. Oh I'm so glad you brought him up |
|
He is so great. It's amazing how many really great scores he has written over the years.
One you didn;t mention is "Is Paris Burning?" It was a mundane WW 2 movie, but a great sountrack by him.

10. "The Man Who Would Be King" is my favorite... |
|
Jarre is one of the few film composers who can write in Eastern notation, and he also has a feel for it. (As he did for "Year of Living Dangerously.")
But the score for "The Man Who Would Be King" has many clever touches in it -- a theme (based upon "The Minstrel Boy") for the two overly-enterprising Englishmen played on native instruments that fades into a brass band; the eerie, low sounds of the Tibetan horns, and so on.
