Musika and Film scores - Adventure Land - In the Far East - The Great Wall
Comment: New play-list and, in this Far East, we are going to find ourselves in a new scenario in which, and for three installments, we are going to enter the suggestive and enigmatic world of a country as immense as the great wall of China.
In this way and with the first composition that I am going to offer you from this selection, we have the great composer Miklos Rozsa who in 1942 created this soundtrack for «the jungle book» and with which he got an Oscar nomination for best band. sonorous. Thus, after this «jungle book», we will definitely leave India to, after a stretch of jungle and other intricacies, finally, we will come across the longest work that, ever, has been built by the human being. A work that covers almost 21,000 kilometers, was built with one purpose, to avoid attacks by the Mongols and, of course, separating them from the rest of the world. For this reason, given such a magnitude and the only construction that can be seen from space, we can only contemplate it with admiration and solemnity, finding for this, the second composition that I offer you, and that is that in 1937 the Russian-born master Dimitri Tiomkin was also nominated At the Oscar for best soundtrack, he composed the following suite for his «Far Horizons», and never better, since our portfolio emanates, like the trio that I am going to offer you, from «In the Far East»
And so, already located in such a large structure, we will let neither more nor less than 52 years pass until, in 1989, we find the following composition that, tinted in the orchestration and grandiloquence of a choral work, the Italian maestro Ennio Morricone takes us in his suite to the paroxysm and apprehension of the cruelty of war in his «Hearts of Iron», and which, of course, got an Oscar nomination for best soundtrack. And it is that as you can see, today in our selection, a film that we named, a film nominated for an Oscar for best soundtrack. what yes?
And after this «Hearts of Iron», nine years later, and as we said, immersed in the true objective of the Great Wall, we come face to face with the war, and with a heroine trying to prevent the invasion of the Mongol hordes. Still don’t know what film we’re talking about? And if I told you that it is an animated film, and our heroine is called «Mulan», what now? Well come on, let’s enjoy it and the suite that the great Californian master Jerry Goldsmith composed in 1998 for such a film, and for which, of course, its composer was nominated for an Oscar for best soundtrack.
And so, leaving this warlike «Mulan» behind, we could say that we have reached half of our selection, so heading towards the end, we are going to lower the decibels so much that, almost in a whisper, this time we are going to focus on Another country, if possible more to the east of China, and that not being this one, is worth us to embody other types of true warriors, although this time Japanese, because who does not recognize in «the last samurai» the methodical ways of the great soldiers Japanese. And it is that in the silence and sensuality of the little things, as in a whisper, in 2003, the German master Hans Zimmer, magnificently fuses us with the combination of this brave of our selection and the most exacerbated romanticism, obtaining for it another nomination , although this time it went to the Golden Globe for the best soundtrack.
And with this «last samurai» we put our play-list straight and final. Thus, in these last ten minutes of our delivery, we are going to migrate to the last main course of our selection, with a composition that, due to its epic and fusion that makes the recorder, serves as the perfect alembic for the transmutation of what has to come, and it is that in 2013, ten years later, the Venezuelan composer Gustavo Dudamel composed this «Libertador», enjoy his Suite. And so, we have reached the final point, and that is that in the face of such a gigantic construction and created for war, we could not finish this selection, without being completely imbued with it. So to put an end to it, I leave you just one year later, with the soundtrack that, in 2014, the American composer Christopher Young composed for the movie «The Monkey King» and of which we are going to enjoy two fragments his «Suite» and finally his «Chorus».
And so, to the rhythm of the timpani and recorder, we have reached the end of this selection, hoping that this hour of good music has transported you for a second to the enormity of that great construction made by man and that we all know it for » The Great Wall china» Enjoy it.
