@Fleetwing1627 Wagner did NOT create leitmotifs.
And here, anyway, this is not movie music...
-
@Fleetwing1627 what about Rosza, Waxman, Steiner, and my favorite Bernard Herrmann? most people say those are actually the founders of film scores. John Williams created his own unique style of film scoring, which i would describe as ornate. Hans Zimmer pioneered the really big booming hollywood orchestra sounding score. and of course all the great classical composers, including Wagner, contributed to the range of styles we have today. Thank all composers! They built off each other!

@osc200 And without Beethoven there would be no Richard Wagner.

@SnarkLicker I think you mean Jerry Goldsmith not Goldstein

Imagine if they played this whole arrangement before every newscast....lol

Understandably, the three "dislikes" were from the very jealous ABC, CBS and FOX.

@Fleetwing1627 Well, yes...but let's not forget about Korngold.
-
Actually, Carl Maria von Weber is considered the one who originated "leitmotif," the themes connected to dramatic characters. Wagner continued this trend, especially in his "Ring" cycle, but it was Richard Strauss, with his tone poems, that elevated musical storytelling to a high art.
I present Strauss' works to my students as "movie music before there were movies." Korngold, Steiner, Bernstein, Bernstein, and Williams owe their heritage to Richard Strauss.
