Medicine Man and Rudy. I’ve been trying to love, rather than only appreciate, Goldsmith. Familiarity breeds affection (or contempt), so they say. I’m aiming for the former.
MEDICINE MAN is great. RUDY is kinda nice, and a lot of people seem to love it, but it gets a bit to saccharine for my taste.

I know what you mean about Rudy, but it’s nice as background music while half asleep on the couch.
“The Religious Sound” is one of my absolute favourite sounds in music, and yes, I intend to do a thread on it eventually. It’s on full display here, in this gorgeous, pastoral score from 2021, which was my THIRD favourite score that year, no less!
Grand folly or unheralded masterpiece? The jury’s still out on that one, but the score is fascinating. A few words here.

Yes, I’m sure it’s very well suited for that. Multi-purpose music. 😉
I am so grateful when I manage to discover some great classical film music from the past 15 years proving that classical film music isn’t completely dead yet.

This is one of this category.
What’s that? I ask, because I actually attended a medieval pageant of some sort, in Vendée in the mid 90s (school trip to France). Did Kaska set music to that? Or is it a film score?
Very interesting how Alex North incorporated some of the material for his unused score for 2001 -A Space Odyssey for the totally different in tone The Shoes of the Fisherman, yet both musical applications seem perfectly valid.
One of all time favorite film composers.
I need to spend more time with Alex North. He might be more up my alley than Goldsmith.
A good start is THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY then. My favourite North, one of my top 50 favourite scores, and it has a Goldsmith prologue you can insert into the programme.
Didn’t he reuse some for AFRICA too? Or was it DRAGONSLAYER?
Yes, all three as far as I know 😉

Yes, great one. I like North a lot. I don’t like all by him but I like his dissonant style although it is quite challenging.
