Free Music Notes for The Thorn Birds [Original Television Soundtrack]
Free Music Review: THE DULCIMER !!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
PEOPLE:
The DULCIMER is not here but it is on other cd which is accompanying a book. You can buy here on AMAZON. The book with the 16-track cd calls:
"CASE HISTORY OF A FILM SCORE - BY HENRY MANCINI - EDITED BY ROY PHILLIPPE.
WARNER"
IT SAYS: "the book and cd are specially rewarding for Thorn Birds fans who spent $25 on Varese Sarabande's 2-CD soundtrack only to discover that the dulcimer- the central instrument of the score - was inexplicably missing from the main-title track and that the extensive liner notes barely discuss the score (and don't include a single quote from the composer about his music, despite the fact that a little resarch would have turned up three extensive interviews that Mancini gave about the music of The thorn birds). Both of these omissions are rectified by the book and accompanying CD. The main title is intact, complete with dulcimer overlay, and Mancini's discussion of the project is so thorough that all of our questions about this remarkable score are answered at last."
Plus the Dulcimer the book "Case History of a film score" has more: the piano when Ralph sees Meggy slowly coming down the stairs at Mary's birthday party... . This music is missing from the Varese cd, but it is here on this extra cd - Case History. It's wonderful!!
Free Music Review: Not complete but still great
Hit: 5 Stars
It's clear something is 'wierd' about Track 1 on Disc 1. It almost sounds like part of the track is playng in the background when the volume should be turned up! But still, I'm thrilled that this is finally available. Totally thrilled. It's such a beautiful score. In life and especially in music I find we rarely get 100% when trying to find what we hear on a tv show (try being an x-files Mark Snow music fan) or a movie. But I'm sooooo glad to have whatever I can get. Plain and simple. It's a shame that something is 'off' about certain tracks but again, I'll take it. Beautiful stuff.Free Music Review: At Long Last!

At long last the soundtrack to The Thorn Birds is available on disc--I have been waiting for several years! This is one of the best scores for a tv movie that has ever been produced. It seems that all of the music from the film is on the album, including many wonderful interpretations of the main theme. The orchestrations are lush and have much depth, particularly in the cues for the love scenes and the other dramatic scenes. If you enjoyed the Thorn Birds, or if you are a film score fan in general, this album is highly recommended. Henry Mancini outdid himself!
Free Music Review: This is a COMPLETE Soundtrack!
Hit: 5 Stars
Despite the naysayers, based on my memory of the score, this release has every single soundtrack element used. The only possible error may have been that they either mislabeled certain tracks or put them out of order. However, having listened to it, I really do believe it to be complete. There are at least FOUR different versions of the Dulcimer Backed Theme on these two discs. Also, remember, soundtrack elements sometimes sound slightly different outside of their original film application.Free Music Review: Mancini vs. LaLoggia
Hit: 5 Stars
I recently watched an old favorite The Lady in White,
written, directed AND scored by Frank LaLoggia .....
My ears depicted a very very strong similarity between
the haunting melody that permiates this movie with
the same haunting melody that plays throughout
The Thorn Birds ... I've been trying to research this
online, but to no avail. If anyones has suggestions or
information, please share! Thank you.
