I’ve been quite lucky in my ‘writings to film composers’.
I’ve done it twice, to David Newman as noted above, and Cliff Eidelman, similar to The Mighty Ducks situ.
I’d just seen Leap Of Faith at the cinema and the music was absolutely gorgeous (albeit, only about 15 minutes of it in a film packed with Gospel music/songs).
I wrote to Cliff (via his agent) telling him how much I admired and followed his music (as I did with David Newman) and how frustrating that there wasn’t a Score Suite on the album.
He wrote a nice letter back, thanking me for my interest and appreciation and enclosing a tape, marked “For Kev, Best Wishes, Cliff” with his score cues from the film in fantastic sound.
They’ve remained two of my favourite film composers and the tapes are still prized possessions in my collection.
