This is Wednesday which means it’s Monday Music Moves Me today on my blog and this week’s theme is all about the UFO. I do hope you enjoy these cinematic delights…
1. MAIN THEME FROM INVADERS FROM MARS BY MORT GLICKMAN-1953
When I saw this film, I have to say, it freaked me out and the music was a contributing factor in making me me freak out. Funny, originally, this music was thought to be created by Raoul Kraushaar but, now the consensus is tht Mort Glickman created this piece. How do you like it?
2. DUEL OF THE FATES BY JOHN WILLIAMS
John Williams is one prolific composer often pairing with Steven Spielberg to create an indelible partnership scoring so many films with him but Star Wars is THE biggest film. Of course, I did not pick the most famous theme but chose the vital fight scene between Darth Maul and Obi Wan Kenobi. I find this piece of great music the most thrilling and it does take place in outer space.
3. PRELUDE AND OUTER SPACE BY BERNARD HERMANN-1951
This great, eerie music comes from….klaatu, barrada nicto…..”The Day The Earth Stood Still”. I think this is still one of the best films about men that come from outer space and this music just heighten the tension. I think it’s a perfect take on the paranoia that gripped the States back then( not to say now!)
So what UFO music can you think of?
ANUS OF URANUS BY KLAATU-1976
Love this Canadian Band that originated "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft".
