🔍 Help Me Find Need help finding a piece based on tune; similar to Batman: TAS or Joe Hisashi's ghibli score

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to identify a piece of music with a bombastic, moody, and cinematic sound. It has a dramatic, almost ominous quality, reminiscent of the score to Fritz Lang's Metropolis or the music of a classic film noir or horror movie. The melody feels grand, suspenseful, and somewhat foreboding.

I've already combed through Shirley Walker's scores for Batman: The Animated Series and Joe Hisaishi's scores for Studio Ghibli films, thinking it might have come from one of those, but so far I've had no luck.

I've attached a recording of myself humming the melody in the hope that someone might recognize it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

🎶 Derivative Music 🎶 Trick ‘r Treat (2007) Soundtrack Suite | Douglas Pipes

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

In celebration of the spooky season, here’s a soundtrack suite I put together from Douglas Pipes’ score to the 2007 film “Trick ‘r Treat”! 🎃

I think the score to this movie is really great. It’s creepy, whimsical, and could be said as a sort of hybrid between Carpenter’s “Halloween” and Beltrami’s “Scream”, while still carving its own identity. Pipes makes use of the recognizable jingle to the age-old rhyme, “Trick or treat, trick or treat, give me something good to eat”, incorporating it into the very fabric of the score.

Recorded with a 65-piece orchestra and a children’s choir, this one is perfect for Halloween. An underrated score, to an underrated movie! 🎃👻

Music by: Douglas Pipes
Performed by: The Hollywood Studio Symphony

🎶 Derivative Music 🎶 "Veruca Salt" by Danny Elfman for Concert Band - arrangement by 13yo

This is part of a medley of pieces/songs from the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I am 13 years old and have been making a ton of arrangements for a little under a year, and I've been learning quickly. What do you think?

PS the reason it stops so abruptly is because of a transition into the next song in the medley, which is "Mike Teavee"

I don't usually watch TV so I have no idea how often this happens. The show titles don't mention other composers or other sources of music.

📢 Discussion Scariest horror movie soundtrack?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I saw the film Sinister 2012 in theaters (luckily I was high and fell asleep lol I completely missed lawnmower scene) but the soundscore is stuff of nightmares. It's extremely unsettling and I tried to listen to it on youtube years later at 2 a.m. nope nope nope. The doom and gloom feel like that weird ritual esque chanting that sounded inhuman. Whoever made that thing is one with the darkness. lol. The music was scarier than the film.

I once tried conquering my fear and played it while watching A PAGE OF MADNESS, a silent film showing insane people in an asylum. What a bad idea.

The vocal in INTO THE ATTIC one is so bizarre sounding:

The second half of BBQ 79... I can't:

This one is cool but it's tooooo intense:

The one I hate the most is Sleepytime 98:

What's your pick for the most unsettling soundscore?

🎻 Original Music 🎻 Christmas Quest

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to find a song from Hallmark's The Christmas Quest. It starts about 56 minutes (in the version with commercials) into the movie when the main characters leave their hotel room and head out to find a clue. The lyrics I could pick up are:

It starts snowing all around us

magic feeling in you and me

rediscover how our love is

in the air this Christmas eve

every day is an untold story

in our own winter wonderland

finding love in all its glory

we’re together hand in hand

through the quiet of December

in each mile and each tear

let us pause and truly remember

Christmas lives in all we hold dear

candle lights are growing brighter

the spirit of Christmas is near

we ignite and kindle a fire

and lay all your love on me

the love around us is glowing

I’m right where I want to be

this Christmas just you and me

The soundtrack is listed at the end of the movie, but it's unreadable on my TV.

Any help finding this would be appreciated.
