I’d love to meet the ghost of M. Rosza. I’d ask him if he was
a strongly religious man. I’ve always wondered about his
inspiration for the melodies in King of Kings and Ben Hur. His
ability to musically portray God seems unsurpassed, although
Newman’s The Greatest Story Ever Told and Bernstein’s
Ten Commandments are also superb.I’d ask Jerry Goldsmith if he prefers the avant-garde, atonal
style of Planet of the Apes and Hollow Man to his more
melodic writings.I’d ask any composer if he/she has a preference for certain types
of movies for scoring such as action, romantic, adventure, etc.,
or if they want variety in subjects. Guess I’d just drive them all nuts
with questions.NP Cinema’s Classic Romances

I'd ask Jerry Goldsmith and ENYA why they keep nicking riffs from Jamie Horner?! posted 08-27-2000 09:22 AM PT (US) IP: Logged Patrick

I'd ask John Debney which kind of soundtracks he enjoys writting the most: rousing adventure scores like White Fang II or scarey joltingly frightening scores such as Komodo posted 08-27-2000 10:27 AM PT (US) IP: Logged Old Infopop Software by UBB
