ON DANGEROUS GROUND (1951) - Death Hunt - Bernard Herrmann

[jslasher1]

No one came close to Benny for writing music of such brilliance for the cinema.

[IronLedMetal]

the 2011 pride of casa grande marching band played this as our closer and three other sscores by bernard herrmann it was really legit

[KACRifle]

The 'clank' is created using a sound plate, and they do come in different pitches. Brake drums are similar but have their own distinct sound and vary in pitch according to their size as well.

[boneeatingsilicate]

They used a VOLKSWAGON wheel drum for the 'clank' on the Charles Gerhardt conducted 'Classic Filmscores of Bernard Herrmann'.

[jslasher1]

Excellent performance. Benny would be pleased.

[karlbaudoin]

Great

[matticchio]

Or a steel plate.

[stravinskydogs]

Does anyone know what the name of that metal pecussion instrument that he hits is?????? ive literally been searching for years cos you always hear in horror films PLEASE HELP ME!! haha im such a nerd

[Iccarus72]

@stravinskydogs I believe they are Tuned plates..but might go by different name. I believe the Paiste cymbal company makes them as well as other cymbal manufactures.

[Filmscorerdhs1]

@stravinskydogs "Anvil", but don't have form of metal anvil yet haahha That's the "new" manufacture or adaption of this orchestra.

.

[Gandalf20000]

@stravinskydogs It's actually just called a sound plate.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

With a few months left in this Centenary year for Bernard Herrmann, every orchestra round the world should play this piece as an encore.

[Aluminummagnet]

I absolutely love the percussion guy!!! He's so intense & then the little tap noise lol I just love this

[lcs1956]

This was definitely a score in search of a movie. Herrmann reused many themes developed here in his later work for Hitchcock and the Twilight Zone. Hitch could have made good use of it, but I think it was basically written to pump up a mediocre film.

@lcs1956

On Dangerous Ground is a fantastic film! Don't hate!



[peppersax]

Notice at the end, the conductor points at the Horn section as to say.......FU***** Awesome!! Anytime one hears those Horns playing fast ass triplets, it has to be BERNARD HERRMAN.......HE ROCKS!

[notedmusician]

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT Bernard Herrmann!!!!! Amazing stuff!

[Fernando29sp]

Fantastic

[watermelonnights]

I love every time that they go to the percussionist playing the metal slab. his moustache. so random and perfect.

[Theatrerick]

Gives me chills and an incredible thrill every time I see and hear this!

[Theatrerick]

Thiis is an iincredible piece of music and a fantastic performance! Congratulations to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and my friend Wayne Baruch who produced this event for the opening on the new Philharmonic Hall in Los Angeles.

[thseamon]

Best. Film. Music. Ever.

[tkarches]

Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Great piece.

[marchingfluteMMVIII]

ahhhhh!!! we're playing this for our marching band show!!!! :D

[jslasher1]

A wonderful performance by Esa-Pekka Salonen and the L A Phil.

[iblasted2009]

BLASTING HORNS!... that is what they are doing all 2:26 min!

Can you guess I play that instrument?

I'm thankful you have posted this. I had the LP back in the 1970's, but lost it to heat damage. I've been looking for this ever sense then. Thanks again!

[bssnboo]

GOOD GOD!

[robertmro]

Hermann was in a league by himself.

Pure genius!
