Damn, if he didn’t write an original score for OCTOBER, that means I must re-evaluate 1928 now.I’ve never heard the original Meisel.

I have a condensed version – it is a bit repetitive – of it ripped from a VHS years ago I think. My library has a DVD with it and Potemkin with the scores I am going to lend sometime I get the chance. The music it generally a bit like his Potemkin.

I should re-familiarize myself with THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC again, as I haven’t seen the film since I was a student.

I have seen that with different music – even live in a church with organ and some solist I think years ago – but never any original.

For 1913 I could suggest RICHARD WAGNER which has a original score by Giuseppe Becce working around Wagner itself since thte music was stil copyrighted back then (and he played the title role himself):

I have never heard it completely for unknown reasons. There was even a CD release of it I don’t have. But this would be more “historical importance” so far and not personal favorite…
