Quote: Thanks, Marty. I never thought of the East coast/West coast factor,
but it makes sense. I wasn't aware that Morton Gould wrote the
complete score for "Cinerama Holiday". I've tried to like his concert
music with little luck.
I completely agree with your opinion of the Tiomkin score for "Search
For Paradise". I bought the score on CD just because it was for a
Cinerama film. I seldom listen to it. It seems like a bunch of
disconnected musical ideas strung together with low-quality glue!
Please keep us updated on the possibility of a CD issue of "Cinerama
Holiday".
Bear in mind that my statements about the East Coast versus West Coast
is purely a supposition.
Like you, I find Tiomkin's efforts pretty difficult to appreciate. I
haven't seen "Search For Paradise" since I was in the fifth grade so
it's possible that the music is just perfect, but it sure doesn't stand
on its own, like most Tiomkin music from the mid 1950s on.
The trio of Newman, Moross, and Raksin produced a very evocative score
for "Seven Wonders of the World". I asked Raksin who had written the
fantastic audience participation music for the Rio sequence and he
refused to answer. Must have been Emil Newman because I can easily
recognize Moross. Jerome Moross did much of the excellent Holy Land and
Vatican music. Jews do Christian music so well. "Seven Wonders" is a
very entertaining film, though I do find the Vatican stuff particularly
tedious.
I'll keep the group posted on the possible production of a CD of
"Cinerama Holiday".

and at any time. What a dreadful work, my opinion, though it brought
Tiomkin national attention. Just thinking out loud.
The SFP finale, I thought, was one of the best cues in any Cinerama
film, save almost all of the cues in HTWWW.
Emil's brother, Alfred, did HTWWW, with help from his "usual suspects"
arrangers, and Ken Darby for the vocals.
