Blog # 50] [Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at 5:20 Pm PDT] Film Score Blogs [Blog # 50] [Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at 5:20 pm PDT] OK. I just finished by 155 (or so) Word paper document--the rundown analysis of Herrmann's OBSESSION. I had received the Tadlow Music cd set of OBSESSION, so I spent the last two days on concentrated work related to the set (listening repeatedly, writing out 8 pages of timing graphics, writing a 12-page review, etc). I will now also quickly go over this new Blog # 50 and then send it off to Sarah for the new Film Score Rundowns update. ****************** [Saturday, June 13, 2015 at 11:41 am]: I actually officially started this Blog #50 on Tuesday, April 21,2015 at 9:23 am when I started to copy & paste many of my Facebook posts. I created the Bill Wrobel "Farcebook" (as I like to call it! : ) page in early June 2014: https://www.facebook.com/filmscorerundowns I created the "Film Score Rundowns" Group Facebook site on Sunday, May 24, 2015 at 11:14 am: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1653818974852071/ A minute earlier I created the "Zip Dobyns Astrology Society" : https://www.facebook.com/groups/827949040626050/ I figured it would be best not to mix my astrological and metaphysical posts with the general "Bill Wrobel" Facebook account--to simply do that area of my life in the Zip Dobyns Facebook account. ...[break].... 1 Now: I plan to update my original long-standing (since January 1999) Film Score Rundowns site in a week with my newest rundown/chord analysis of Bernard Herrmann's OBSESSION. I am pretty much done with it already. Presently I typed (Microsoft Word) 126 pages. What I am waiting for now is the arrival of the Tadlow cd set so that I can insert their track timings into the cues I delineated, and to give my review. Four tracks are available on the Screen Archives Entertainment site that is selling the cd set, plus several at the James Fitzpatrick Facebook site. So far, so good from what I have heard. The set was apparently mailed off earlier this week so I should be getting my shipment in the mail any day now. Once I listened to the set at least a few times, and finished my OBSESSION paper addition of the timings and review, I'll send the Word document to Sarah to newly update the site. The last update was eight months in October 14, 2014 with my Tender Is the Night rundown along with my two astrology papers. The new update in about a week (or less) will be solely Obsession on the front page cover, plus the notice of new Blog #50. ....[1:25 pm] M. just wrote earlier today on Talking Herrmann from Germany that his Tadlow set arrived today. So I should be expecting mine maybe Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest since I live here in California. Maybe Monday! I just asked him on Talking Herrmann what is his initial impression. Just looked at the Film Score Monthly site: several people have received their copy in the post today as well. I believe all of them were in Europe. One stated the Blu-ray disc version sounded wonderful. 2 [Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 9:23 am]: Here are a bunch of my Farcebook posts that I will copy & paste here: June 8, 2014 links: https://twitter.com/filmscorerundow https://www.youtube.com/user/FilmScoreRundowns http://www.filmscorerundowns.net/ https://soundcloud.com/filmscorerundowns June 11, 2014: Here is "The Body" cue for this Poor Dan scene from THE BIRDS. Kevin Dvorak did a really fine job with this synth rendition, and given the limitations of synth effects (I intended brass flutter tonguing, etc. that couldn't be replicated) he did a terrific job. Don't synch it up to the video since it is probably too slow. Or if you want to line it up to the dvd, go to the point when the brass alarmingly enters in at 1:01 in this still image video when we first see Poor ole Dan! It'll be aligned better then in terms of timing. Thanks! June 12, 2014: [comment to Guenther] : Who is this imposter named "Bernard" Herrmann! I specifically joined the "Berhard" Herrmann Society. Very few people knew about him but I enjoyed his work (all two and a half pieces) that I discovered in an archive. His work was never recorded but at least the written music was scribbled down. Anyway, I guess I'll try this group and see what his music is like! : ) OK. Here is "The Body" synched up with the video scene. Now: If you can only hear the audio & the visual is black (for whatever reason), then try any of these two links: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1n6grmp6c0lbx3a/AADasgmBgwfLC73A1NN9CPy3a#lh: null-THE%20BIRDS%20X%20The%20Body.wmv http://www.mediafire.com/watch/op7fslz5hbri3p0/THE_BIRDS_X_The_Body.wmv All right. Here is "The Body" synched up with the video. Now: If you can only hear the music --the visual is black (for whatever reason)--then click on one of these two links: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/op7fslz5hbri3p0/THE_BIRDS_X_The_Body.wmv 3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1n6grmp6c0lbx3a/AADasgmBgwfLC73A1NN9CPy3a#lh: null-THE%20BIRDS%20X%20The%20Body.wmv June 14, 2014: Thanks, Michael. On my Facebook site and the new Bernard Herrmann Society discussion site, I included yesterday the synched-up version of "The Boat Ride" to the video. I may do that here, but I'm busy with a few things right now. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005540296772&fref=ts https://www.facebook.com/groups/HerrmannSociety/ Thanks to Kevin Dvorak's facile synth performance, here is "The Car Ride" Herrmannesque cue for Hitchcock's THE BIRDS. If for some reason the screen is black (but the audio still works), then simply click on one of the two links below (a larger viewing image, anyway, in those links). Thanks! http://www.mediafire.com/watch/awhox8221a5negs/THE_BIRDS_Car_Ride.wmv https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1n6grmp6c0lbx3a/AADasgmBgwfLC73A1NN9CPy3a#lh: null-THE%20BIRDS%20Car%20Ride.wmv June 15, 2014: The RICHARD BOONE SHOW won several critics awards, including this one (image below). Unfortunately, the public viewer ratings were low, and the show was canceled after the first year despite the popularity of Boone in the HGWT series for several years. But, according to a columnist who knew Boone personally, Boone bitterly told him that the night the series premiered he was told by NBC that it planned another show to take its place the following year--that they wrote it off already, that it was just a stopgap show. Have Anthology Show-Will Not Travel! Here is the "Statement of Fact" season opener--original music by Bernard Herrmann. Here is another Herrmann-scored episode: "Wall To Wall War" that was fundamentally an improvised (ad lib) episode about a vet with post traumatic stress syndrome! I especially liked the final cue at 48:30. Being a 20th Century Fox production, the ADVENTURES IN PARADISE series several times prominently used Herrmann's music from Fox feature films including JTTCOTE. You can heard the music editor stock music insertions in this episode titled "Treasure Hunt" especially in the beginning and around the 44 to 45 minute point.

If you want the ones that are supposed to be the set of FOUR videos (complete segments with commercials) then the links above are the ones you want. However, so far I cannot find Part Three of Four. Probably it is not available but I'll get checking ************** June 16, 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EDlmkoMvBY&feature=youtu.be I just uploaded my newest YouTube entry: "Queen Mystery Theme" by Bernard Herrmann (1939) for CBS radio. This is THE ADVENTURES OF ELLERY QUEEN. Herrmann wrote the theme plus the first five episodes starting with "The Gum-Chewing Millionaire." The shows are apparently lost forever, no copies circulating among collectors. So here is Kevin Dvorak performing the world premiere synth rendition. Enjoy! *************** June 17, 2014: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/i3mxot3v7bdk3fo/THE_BIRDS_XV_Migrating.wmv https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1n6grmp6c0lbx3a/AAAp6Lb2PnSB3bqc8fDdkA6Qa#lh:nu ll-THE%20BIRDS%20XV%20Migrating.wmv Thanks to Kevin this morning, here is another Herrmannesque cue, the soft "Migrating" cue for Hitchcock's THE BIRDS. Once again, simply click on one of the two links above. Enjoy! http://www.archive.org/stream/broadcastingtele65unse_0#page/n149/mode/2up Forecast analysis of upcoming 1963 tv series. Regarding THE GREAT ADVENTURE (Herrmann wrote the "Nathan Hale" episode), it states: "...nobody expressed excitement; most likened it to public service or FCC programming." THE VIRGINIAN, however, was strongly liked & favored for success. Regarding THE RICHARD BOONE SHOW: ..."most expressed disappointment over it" ('average' at best). *************************** June 18, 2014: I agree with you, Jim, for the most part. At the same time, however, after watching episodes lately with my wife, we were a bit under whelmed by several of the episodes. "Captain Al Sanchez" was lower-drawer material, and the Richard Boone character was especially unappealing and quite loud for too long towards the end of the show. "A Tough Man To Kill" was one of the light/humorous episodes. Herrmann's fantastic music saved it, made it special, a must see.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

The People, a group of human-appearing aliens, escaped the destruction of their home world only to be shipwrecked on Earth, where they struggled to hide their extra abilities. During the same period, Henderson published an equal number of non-People stories. Like the stories of The People, they range from comforting to unnerving. Fans of The People will recognize the same underlying belief in the goodness of people and other beings as they struggle for a chance at a better future. Zenna Henderson Zenna Chlarson Henderson (1917–1983) was born in Tucson, Arizona. Although she became a teacher because the nearest state school was a teacher’s college, Hender- son later stated she’d rather earn her living teaching first grade than any other way. She would make time to write before school and at the end of the day. All her writing exhibits a warmth, gentleness and a sense of the worth of human and non-human beings.

  • Have Gun Will Travel : the Complete Series
    Have Gun Will Travel : The Complete Series Season One [commence paper Friday, May 19, 2017 at 3:33 p, PDT]: Just as I just completed yesterday on the Rawhide : The Complete Series two-part paper, I will revisit Have Gun Will Travel (HGWT). I already discussed HGWT is two separate papers. One entry starting on page 139 that I wrote in 1999 is here: http://www.filmscorerundowns.net/herrmann/cbs_years.pdf The next paper in 2006/2007 is here: http://www.filmscorerundowns.net/herrmann/havegunwilltravel.pdf This second (latter) paper covered in great detail Seasons 1 thru 3. At the time, only the first three seasons were available on dvd. Just recently I purchased The Complete Series that I received on I believe April 20, 2017. Now that I am finished with Rawhide, I can now devote time & energy on updating the information and add images to Seasons 1 thru 3, and also write a rundown of the rest of the series. So "New & Improved" papers on HGWT! OK. Let's start with the pilot episode, "Three Bells To Perdido" that aired on CBS September 14, 1957 (I was seven years old and watched the series way back then!). Note that according to CBS Memo papers, Herrmann's contract for HGWT was I believe January 18, 1957: 1 The following are dvd timings/locations from the Complete Series set: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6S1ZU2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie= UTF8&psc=1 ****************** "Three Bells To Perdido" (9-14-1957) **** 4-star rating.

  • The Television Works of Bernard Herrmann
    Television Works of Bernard Herrmann By William Wrobel While Bernard Herrmann is generally best known as a feature film composer, he also established a prodigious amount of work for both radio and television. The scope of this paper is Herrmann’s television music that ranges from his first (“A Christmas Carol”) in December 1954 to his known final one (an episode of The Virginian titled “Last Grave At Socorro Creek”) in early 1969. The format of this paper is to elaborate, at least in part, on each of his works for the “small screen” based on as complete a list that can be presently verified. This presentation will not necessarily be based in factual, chronological order since exact dates of completion are rarely given in his television scores (unlike most of his feature film works). A list based on original airdates would be logical, but this would not be applicable to his television “suites” (such as the so-called Western Saga suite or collection of thematic cues). Such suites for the CBS-TV Music Library were composed for the purpose of being later “tracked” when needed as part of a body of “stock” music for episodes of CBS series which had no original score, tracked in by a music editor (usually Gene Feldman). For purposes of simplicity, the sequence of this paper’s presentation of Herrmann’s television works will be based according to the two only entertainment entities he did television work for: CBS and Universal-Revue Studios (the latter productions usually aired on the NBC network). Only in one case (“The Richard Boone Show”) were the shows produced at MGM Studios for NBC.
