James Newton Howard scoring King Kong part 1

Great score. Loved it. But Peter forgot to have Kong bleed when he was shot.

A shame no one remembered the great Elmer Bernstein. Three words: The Magnificent Seven. Plus a lot more. A shame he passed way mere months after Jerry Goldsmith.

At 2:26 what piece is it?

Beauty kills the beast part 4 or it could be part 5

I hope they release the complete score to this film. I wanna hear the entire score from every scene with music.

yeah, man!

that would be great

He is more then just talented ... he is one who keeps the art going !

I'm a student of composition and, having done some small score projects myself, I can second this. Especially if he's orchestrating it himself. It's great to have a composer who still does as much of that as possible—the orchestration is just as much a part of the music as the themes.

As for deadlines... they have an incredible way of motivating. It's a lot different than the kick you get from inspiration, and not as pleasant, but they work!

King Kong is my most favorite movie of all time-mainly because of the music!!
