MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA - SARUYI´s THEME

As a firts example of what you can find here, I´m posting a new concert version of the great main theme from Memoirs of a Geisha: SARUYI´S THEME

Master Williams composes here a very touching theme for Yo-Yo Ma´s gifted cello. Unfortunately, there is not a complete development of the theme on the CD. You may hear the cello part and the orchestral part separately, in different cues. Also, those fragments are preceded or followed by some disturbing music which breaks the beauty of the piece.

Now you can enjoy them as whole in this newly edited concert version.

I also include a live version of SARUYI´s THEME played by Yo-Yo Ma and John Williams himself on a TV show. Sound is a little bit poor, but is great to hear both of them.

THE SOUNDTRACK FORGE OPENS!

The Soundtrack Forge is a blog devoted to film music scores. The main difference you will find between this and some other blogs related to this subjet is that we are not offering OOP scores nor bootlegs but almost new themes re-edited from various pieces of a score.

This is not a mix but a creation of what we could call “new concert versions” using interesting material which hasn´t been fully developed in its score. We edit different pieces with the same musical phrase trying to achieve a longer more enjoyable theme.

Some other times, we just cut some parts which may break the rhythm of a piece, delivering a most exciting theme.

I hope you may enjoy some of this works as much as I do.
