Very sad to learn that the wonderful Lalo Schifrin has passed on.
He really was such a genius at combining rhythm, texture, instrumentation and melody in such a powerful and unique way. Interviewed him once years before I was a “proper” film composer. He was an absolute gent👇
This was especially sad to write. Knew him for nearly 40 years, and loved his music for 60. An honor to write about him often, and even produce a "Mission: Impossible" box set a few years ago. Farewell, maestro. https://t.co/kqC1xMaYjT
You know his music. Of course… “Mission Impossible” and “Enter the Dragon,” among countless others.
But, treat yourself to the delicate main title of “Cool Hand Luke” and behold a true master of film scoring at work.
#RIP#LaloSchifrin

It's official, Hans Zimmers' score for Dune Part 2 is ineligible for the Oscars because it uses too much music from Part 1
For reference, as of 2020 scores in a franchise had to have at least 80% new music, exclusive of prior films' themes, to be eligible

For those awaiting whatever @bearmccreary has cooked up for #RingsOfPower Season 2, here's a brush-up on the themes of Season 1:
Galadriel. All themes named after characters are pretty self-explanatory.
Happy birthday, not only to my son, but also to the great David Shire. Shire is a composer we rarely discuss, so I'd like to know what your favourite Shire score is. I have a soft spot for SHORT CIRCUIT. Below is a suite I created from the score.

RIP veteran composer Laurie Johnson, who wrote countless theme tunes that are burned into my brain forever, not least the magnificent music for The Avengers TV series. So here's the best title sequence of them all, starring the much missed Dame Diana Rigg. Take it away, Laurie x
