Free Music Notes for Mutiny on the Bounty [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]Free Music Review: One of the greatest scores ever written! Hit: 5 Stars
This is an absolutely stunning movie score given the CD release of a lifetime by Film Score Monthly.
This 3-CD set features nearly four hours of music written for one of the screen's great epic films from the 1960s.
So much was written about Marlon Brando's behavior during the filming of the tale that most critics were against the film when it was released. Still, that did not prevent it from being nominated for seven Academy Awards, including nods for Best Original Score and Best Song. (Music Oscars for that year went to Maurice Jarre for "Lawrence of Arabia" and Henry Mancini for the song "The Days of Wine and Roses" -- and thanks to a reader for pointing out my mistake of citing the previous year's winners in my original review).
Most books that review films still credit the 1935 Gable/Laughton version as the best ever, but some of us think differently -- we see this as one of the most underrated g-r-e-a-t films of all time, and Brando's "Fletcher Christian" is one of the screen's -- and Brando's -- most extraordinary creations.
The film is a great adventure story, magnificently filmed and beautifully cast.
Its crowning glory is Bronislau Kaper's masterpiece of a score -- one of the greatest ever written and one of the most magnificent recordings of a score ever done. This 3-CD set captures not only the original score as heard in the film, but a complete "alternate" score that was written for one of the first edits of the film before reshooting and reediting made it necessary for Kaper to rework his music for a different film. Additionally, there are the recordings done especially for the MGM Deluxe Edition LP recording.
There is so much to assimilate in this recording...the majesty of the Overture and Main Title (with chorus)sets the mood for great adventre and heroism. Leaving Portsmouth Harbor accompanies one of the most remarkable sequences put on film as the Bounty is prepared for getting underway. Kaper's inspiration for the final form of this piece owes a bit of debt to a similar sequence in Miklos Rozsa's "Plymouth Adventure", but the tribute to empire with "Rule, Brittania" truly gets the blood roused. The alternate cue for this sequence is fascinating, but the correct choice was made for the final cut. The island/native music is unique, authentic and infectiously rhythmic. The South Seas are perfectly captured in these wonderful cues.
The score's love theme, known as "Follow Me" in its choral setting, is also one of the great themes of the 1960s and is beautifully used within the film.
I could rave on and on, but the proof of the score's greatness is in this set. As it is a limited edition, any fan of this movie and great film music would be wise to invest in a copy at the earliest opportunity.
