Ben Hur Sheet Music

feeds@yuku.com (drbob) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:51:23 GMT

Hi everyone, I am very knew to this forum, but have loved the music from Ben-Hur for years and years. I finally learned this was composed by Miklos Rozsa and was determined to find as many pieces from this epic film and probably the best scored film in Hollywood history as I can. I can go online and get a digital download of a 5 page piece featuring the theme to Ben-Hur, but there is so much more beautiful music than that. The Victory Parade with the beautiful trumpet fanfares is outstanding...

The Lion's Voice......the FSM online article

feeds@yuku.com (AlanJHamer) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:33:47 GMT

Just seen the FSM Online article on Rozsa's days at MGM (by our own Frank DeWald) and very fascinating it turns out to be, a fine accompanying essay to the so extensive online notes for the Treasury Box (which could have arrived in our hot little hands by now, but sadly hasn't). Taken together these will definitely constitute a most valuable document of MR's days at MGM, with detailed notes of the scores he wrote there.

Many facts of interest here; the contract details...

The Charioteers again on BBC....

feeds@yuku.com (AlanJHamer) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:00:21 GMT

Just heard that "Parade of the Charioteers" was played on BBC Radio 3 last Wednesday morning (unscheduled in Radio Times) in a performance by the Boston Pops under Arthur Fiedler. I seem to have forgotten he had recorded this (is it still available?); my source suggests it was a great performance if maybe a little "splashy" or OTT in brassy pomp and grandeur!
I will try and listen again on their site if I can find it; however, I would like to find it if it happened to...

Miklos Rozsa and Utah connection

feeds@yuku.com (shu) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:41:49 GMT

As a state of Utah resident, I am curious about Rozsa and Utah connection. Dr. (1) Rozsa's choral pieces from Ben Hur and King of Kings were performed by Brigham Young University A Cappella Choir back in the 70's(?) and commercially released by Medallion Records (LP) and by Prometheus (CD). The liner notes from the LP says, "In searching for a choir that would o justice to the material Dr. Rozsa was advised to consider the BYU A Cappella Choir."

Miklos Rozsa a composer born in the music

feeds@yuku.com (thegoldenage3060) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:38:38 GMT

I dont think this is stupid, or not important. We know that Rozsa is a great composer, a genius with a great mind and this was the his fate. We know that his mother and his uncle were musicians and loved the music. In this case when a family or a part of the family make a work or have a passion the young components of the family may love or dont love this passion or also hate this passion. How many importance has for Rozsa have a mother that play and love the music. Rozsa have the music in...

Ben-Hur premiere 50 years ago

feeds@yuku.com (Mike Quigley) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:15:49 GMT

From Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies.past-films, posted Nov. 18th:

One significant event ocurred fifty years ago tonight. The world premiere of
Ben-Hur took place at 8:00 p.m. at Loew's State Theatre in New York. I
believe it played at the theater for 74 consecutive weeks in its original
anamorphic 70mm and six channel sound. It was, in its day, more of an event
than the opening of a film in today's world. I don't think that can be

"The Red Canvas"

feeds@yuku.com (scoreman) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:31:41 GMT

Readers might be interested in checking out a new score called "The Red Canvas" written by a new composer called James Peterson. It is an action score written in the Rozsa idiom with a contemporary feel. The score is inspired by the great Rozsa scores such as "The Killers " and "Brute Force" and has excitement and immediacy of impact. The music stands out from the insipid and generic scores written currently . It is well worth checking out. This is a composer to...
