	The Functions of Film Music
		Such songs are really known as the film's soundtrack, while the orchestral music composed or used in a film is a film score, whether it was originally composed for the film or used in another context previously.
		All film scores provide their respective films with one of these functions; even the worst scores, since, though they do not perfectly support the film, they are still scored with the intention of providing at least one of those functions.
		Since this film was scored only for the purpose of underscoring the action, there was nothing else for the composer to tell us about the film's situations and characters, thus the score resolved itself by providing the same output for every scene.

	Amazon.com: American Beauty: Original Motion Picture Score: Music: Thomas Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The score album has a diversity of instrumentation (tabla, piano, woodwinds, synths, guitars) and moods (from the cynical opening theme "Dead Already" to the achingly spare "American Beauty" and "Angela Undress"), but overall there is a slight lack of diversity.
		It was largely an experimental score, compared to the style of his previous works before this film.
		It is used to full effect to open the score, then continues to create a dreamlike trance in "Arose" and an upbeat atmosphere in "Lunch with the King".

	Filmtracks: Gladiator (Hans Zimmer/Lisa Gerrard)
		Therefore, with a score that is largely average compared to other cinematic classics, and a previous album which was over an hour long, I can only come to the conclusion that this second album of music from the film is based solely on the phenomena of box office success.
		In a film such as this, it would have been all too easy to haul out the bass drums and sackbutts and engage in a thoroughly dull and completely cliche round of Roman stereotypes.
		This latter score is, in my opinion, one of the great masterpieces of soundtrack writing in that it achieves the most powerful effect with the almost nothing other than textural effects.

	Filmtracks: Kingdom of Heaven (Harry Gregson-Williams)
		Gregson-Williams' score is more likely to be found on the shelves of classical music collectors than heard in European discos, as Gladiator was, and that attention to authenticity in Kingdom of Heaven will likely serve its film to a better end.
		The strong level of surprising consistency in quality is evident in Gregson-Williams' ability to provide suspense and drama without relying much on the bombast of the brass section, instead tightening the percussion and his central elements of the electric violin and electric cello.
		Among the more memorable moments of the score will be the "Terms" cue, with outstanding layers of Muslim vocals, and the "Ibelin" theme, perhaps a character theme within the context of the larger, main theme of the score (which likely represents the Crusades as a whole).

	Filmtracks: Pirates of the Caribbean (Klaus Badelt and co.)
		There is no single film music composer alive today who is such an expert at the genre as Erich Wolfgang Korngold was in the Golden Age, although several modern composers have followed in his tradition and produced swashbuckling scores.
		While that score was able to benefit from the silliness of its characters, it still exhibited the "yo ho" spirit that is necessary in the genre.
		It is definitely to be avoided by the vast majority of film score collectors, for it will frustrate you with its total lack of respect for the genre.

	FMS: Feature [Case History of a Film Score]
		Case History of a Film Score: The Thorn Birds, edited by Roy Phillippe, is a chronicle of the composer's nearly year-long odyssey with the music of one of television's greatest miniseries.
		But as editor Roy Phillippe relates in his introduction, Mancini wrote another book in the mid-1980s, one that was designed to follow a composer's job on a film from beginning to end.
		Mancini's original sketches for several key cues are reproduced, as are the music editor's "spotting notes" on the first episode and timing notes on the 16 specific cues chosen for discussion.

		Chapter 5 (“The Film Score” deal more generally, in a sense, in terms of how the “music”; functioned in the visual layout of the film, etc. Chapter 4 included many written transcriptions/versions of the electronic sounds, providing an admirable cue-by-analysis.
		A written score by Herrmann, say, can indeed be duplicated (the quality of duplication depends on various factors such as the players, the conductor, acoustics, etc).
		But because the complete score is electronic, the intended effect is now non-existent, unnoticeable, "been there, done that." The score itself is fine because it admirably fits that "alien" context or aural feeling of being on the Krell planet.

	Amazon.com: Magnolia (Score to 1999 Film): Music: Jon Brion,Thomas Pasatieri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		While he helped Mann produce several of the songs that brought the film into tight dramatic focus, he also put together the orchestral score that played underneath the scenes, which subtly adds tension without calling attention to itself.
		I could recommend it as quality music, but I can't recommend it fully when the film itself is a much better avenue by which to appreciate the score.
		The score is able to convey the many emotions of the movie, and overall I would recommend it.
