Filmtracks: Nineteen Eighty-Four (Dominic Muldowney) Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Music of Oceania (Dominic Muldowney) The film adaptation of George Orwell's classic vision of the future was met with mixed criticism internationally, and a harsh response by those in America. Not only did Muldowney compose the regular underscore for the film, he also created all of the very important source music used throughout the film, including the non-pop songs and the anthems. The highlight of the album is the main title suite that was the initial demo composed for the film by Muldowney; he includes an interesting 1940s touch at the end (Perhaps a tribute to the time when the story was written?). www.filmtracks.com /titles/1984.html   (816 words)

Dominic Muldowney: ZoomInfo Business People Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) March 14, 1999 marks the anniversary of the beginning of the recording of Muldowney's score and to commemorate this a CD is finally being released of his complete original soundtrack for Nineteen Eighty-Four, including music that was both used in and omitted from the final film. Born in 1952 to working-class parents, Muldowney was raised in Southampton, England which is, as he phrases it, "about seventy miles, physically, from London and about a million miles culturally."

Preview: Two to 'Tango' / Esteemed British couple do a creative dance with Quantum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) On the first occasion, composer Dominic Muldowney (the opera's text is by David Zane Mairowitz) was also there, paying a flying visit from London. He happens to be Trevis' husband, which is why it's not happenstance at all that she's directing "Tango," but the contrivance of Quantum's Karla Boos, who secured Trevis by piggybacking on her assignment to direct "As You Like It" at CMU in just a few weeks. Trevis, Muldowney, Boos and the baritone, Morris, who was also there, all agreed that singing is really an acting problem, which is why they're so intrigued by Nemetz. www.post-gazette.com /pg/06075/670857.stm   (999 words)

Nineteen Eighty-Four by Dominic Muldowney (Cinemusic Online Soundtrack Review)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) Winston Smith falls in love with another secret rebel, has an affair, is betrayed by someone he thought was a friend, and is finally brainwashed into embracing the state he tried so hard to fight--before he is tragically killed by that same state. To depict the oppressive, propagandistic government of Oceania, Muldowney composed a national anthem, military marches, patriotic chorals, and bombastic fanfares. Muldowney succeeded brilliantly, and it is truly regretful that the film was not seen with it. www.cinemusic.net /reviews/1999/1984.html   (628 words)

SoundtrackNet : Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Music of Oceania Soundtrack Composer Dominique Muldowney wrote a score which captured both the harsh cold feelings of an oppressive society, and a warm forbidding romance. The fanfare from the film, an overly optimistic anthem entitled "Aria", is comprised of overlapping trumpets which climax into a soprano voice singing the praises of Oceania. If you're a fan of Dominic Muldowney, or really enjoyed the film, then this CD is definitely worth picking up. www.soundtrack.net /soundtracks/database/?id=1905   (415 words)

Film Music on the Web CD Reviews May 1999: Dominic MULDOWNEY Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) The end-result was that much of Muldowney’s score was not used and in its place there were songs by Eurhythmics. Muldowney is a leading name in the classical music field and may be unfamiliar to followers of film music. The aria Oceania ’Tis For Thee and Hiking Song (all words are reproduced in the booklet) is a hymn to the state’s glory and victory. www.musicweb.uk.net /film/may99/1984.htm   (383 words)

Sound Space: Science Fiction Audio Reviews On that feature, a score was written by composer Dominic Muldowney but largely replaced--over the objections of director Michael Radford--with cuts created by the pop group Eurythmics. While cues such as "The Washerwoman's Song'" and "The Hiking Song" include lyrics, many of the tracks are instrumental, designed to either harmonically enforce the totalitarian environment of author George Orwell's fearful futuristic setting or, conversely, embellish the conflictive emotions of protagonist Winston Smith. It's not completely unheard of for a composer to generate music for a motion picture and then, for a number of reasons, find his or her work rejected. www.scifi.com /sfw/issue117/sound.html   (505 words)

Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Music of Oceania - Music from the Movies This movie was actually filmed on the exact dates and locations of the famous George Orwell novel, and the obsession carries over to this album, which was released exactly fifteen years to the day of the first recording session. Much of Muldowney’s score was never used in the film, replaced instead by the music of the Eurythmics. Ultimately, the decision made this dreary film a little more commercial, but this is a rare opportunity to hear the score as the director intended. www.musicfromthemovies.com /review.asp?ID=2438   (272 words)

www.haroldpinter.org - Plays   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) Dominic Muldowney's limpid, Ravel-like piano music sounds elegaic notes. The stage is bare, save for a piano, gold-painted upright chairs, tables with vases of lilies and, on the floor, a picture turned away from us. But adaptation is also a form of self-revelation; and one of the themes Pinter excavates in Proust is the ultimate unknowability of the sexually undesired. www.haroldpinter.org /plays/plays_remembrance.shtml   (1319 words)

Nineteen Eighty-Four (Dominic Muildowney) Upon its release, Nineteen Eighty-Four was a critical and commercial smash hit, but one of the most debated elements of the film surrounded the eventual removal of the original score in favour of pop songs by the British rock group, the Eurythmics. Since the release of Nineteen Eighty-Four, Dominic Muldowney has become one of the most influential composers in English theatre, but has limited his screen work to a few feature films and episodes of the TV series Sharpe. Muldowney's score is a combination of styles, each depicting a specific element of the film's narrative structure in a kind of leitmotif fashion. www.moviemusicuk.us /1984cd.htm   (725 words)

1984 (Dominic Muldowney) soundtrack review I suppose everyone, or the majority, are familiar with George Orwell's 1984, the story of "the rise and fall of Winston Smith, a petty bureaucrat in the future totalitarian state of Oceania", to quote the extensive liner notes. When director Michael Radford decided to film Orwell's novel in 1984, Muldowney was brought in to write the orchestral score, as well as source music, like the anthem "Oceania, 'Tis for Thee". Worth mentioning is that big portions of Muldowney's score were thrown out of the movie, and replaced with songs by Eurythmics, making this release the first chance to hear Muldowney's complete score. www.scorereviews.com /reviews/review.aspx?id=24   (453 words)

1984 (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Director Michael Radford objected to Virgin's insistance on using the more pop-oriented electronic Eurythmics music, as the traditional orchestral score originally intended for the film had been composed entirely by Dominic Muldowney a few months earlier. However, Muldowney's main theme music (particularly the state anthem, "Oceania, 'tis for thee") was still prominently featured in the film. In 1999, Dominic Muldowney's complete orchestral score (24 tracks in total) was released on a special limited edition CD album under the title Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Music of Oceania, to commemorate the film's fifteenth anniversary. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/1984_(film)   (1896 words)

FILM MUSIC REVIEW (CD Reviews - Soundtracks 1999) This soundtrack was released exactly 15 years after the first recording session in 1984, the year of the film's release.
