Wolf Molkentin Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 One of my favorite composers and jazz pianists is Michel Legrand. Here is his piece I Will Wait for You which is the theme for the 1964 film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg . It won the academy award for best song that year. https://soundcloud.com/randy-stein-1/i-will-wait-for-you-by-michel Very nice Randy! Pity that the recording is suffering from a very high background noise level. Perhaps you might re-recorded with better equipment? It would be worth it...

Good enough for now. Maybe sometime at a Squeezer rehearsal. Jim has a pretty nice mic/recording system. rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Besser Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) My mother thought I was a genetic aberration because I loved the Three Stooges. But hey, I was a boy, I was distantly related to one of the Stooges, and I can still do the Curly finger snapping routine with the best of them. This is the original Stooges theme, a cultural touchstone of my childhood. A silly tune crudely played, proving that in the TOTM there is no shame. But it was fun to work out! https://soundcloud.com/concertinist/stooges2 Edited March 8, 2014 by Jim Besser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tona Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) edited because of a problem with the file on souncloud, sound saturated... I will try to fix it or restart it. Edited March 10, 2014 by tona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I've just uploaded the Dr Who Theme: https://soundcloud.com/7wheels-1/dr-who-theme They have played around with the theme quite a bit over the years, so apologies if this isn't your favourite version. I started off thinking that I might tap out the rhythm with my foot while playing, but I found it incredibly hard to keep the rhythm consistent and ended up recording the foot tapping as a separate track... and once you start multi-tracking... Whovians of the world unite! Different and very nice, Robert. Perhaps you should offer it to the BBC for their next series? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holden Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Here's what I've been working on for the past couple of weeks: a TV or movie tune. Can anyone identify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAc Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 well, just how far does the term "TV and movie music" reach? Seriously, I'd give quite a lot to hear somebody cover the Pacman theme (one of the great pieces of music of the late 20th century imho )... yet it already qualifies me as a hopeless geezer...

With other bits added at beginning and end, I recognized that as a phrase from Listen to the Mockingbird, a song popular before, during, and after the US Civil War.

ceemonster Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) a goal for the future is vince guaraldi's jazz theme "linus and lucy," from the "peanuts" animated specials, most known for the xmas special......it's so contrapuntal...not there yet in my few months of duet...per one note out there, [[This song was played to the crew of Space Shuttle Endeavour as wake-up music on Day 2 of the STS-123 mission on March 11, 2008.]] richard galliano's recording of nino rota film score themes is also a big inspiration... http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=richard+galliano+nino+rota&tag=googhydr-20&index=popular&hvadid=43834000649&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9382869374455634821&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_9h2v277u4r_b then there's badalamenti....where does one begin? "twin peaks" and his other masterpieces for david lynch aren't the half of it... here's badalamenti's theme from Jeunet's La Cite des enfants perdus--toy piano, split screens, and 2 accordions... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kquHmLJOkc bregovic, bregovic, bregovic-- "bubamara" from the wonderful kusturica film, "black cat, white cat" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4oWLjjgG-I i guess we all already know " talijanska," from kusturica's "time of the gypsies"?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HG2e5UY3Ac the dominique rivere rendition lots of free-reeders know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyXYBTBapRU Edited April 1, 2014 by ceemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found in the oldtime repertoire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F8Yziwt6TI and in jazz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUeE_Dzy2s.
