It's a well known fact that the greatest composers are the ones that are greatly under-appreciated in their time.

I read any thread that looks interesting in the list on the front page, and if I'm particularly bored I'll continue on and look at all the threads to find something else interesting. As for posting, there generally isn't any reason to since there's precious few things I know that someone else...

I fail to see how writing music for specific scenes from a book can be adequately accomplished. It forces the composer to write programmatically since the listener has no visual cues to follow. Granted, the listener can read the section while listening to the music, but obviously that would be...

Wow you're advertising your posts in other threads for no apparent reason? You're an incredibly frightening freak.

I would purchase a copy without hesitation.

As most multi-billion dollar companies are mortified of the spam that the petition would degenerate to.

Why so incredibly confrontational? If both Wing Commander composers are not only interested in the project but are also actively trying to pursue it what good will constantly bombarding EA do? Sure a petition can't hurt, but sending it as a daily attack just doesn't make any sense since it...

Alright I wasn't quite sure people were aware that that was the main goal here as some people seem to think that a magic WC cd would appear featuring music from all the games in some big super cd and not that Oldziey would most likely do only 10 minutes of his favorite themes. Granted it would...

Hmm...since Oldziey has already stated that if he gets the rights he'll do a medley of his three favorites...what are we petitioning for again?

The Fat Man did both WC1 and WC2.

Re: George Speaks That sounds quite generous as it is and "trying to convince him otherwise" seems extraordinarily rude considering the simple and honest answer he has given.

To my knowledge Oldziey didn't get involed until WC3. The stuff before that was done by The Fatman and company.

Well...everybody loves Pepper

I agree it sounds similar to the Star Wars theme, but I don't think it's as bad as you made it out to be. I certainly don't consider it to be a total ripoff, not to mention the Star Wars theme is much more impressive than King's Row.

Any symphony or concerto worth its salt is over 30 minutes if not over 45 minutes long. Hell, even some sonatas are over 30 minutes long. Granted these are multi-movement pieces so a 3-5 second break is given, but I honestly see little difference between that and 45 minutes of continual playing.

I was actually less appluading plagiarism and more laughing at the notion that one of the most famous composers of our time is nothing more than a two-bit thief. Furthermore, Jesus himself couldn't descend from the very heavens and stamp out music or make it stagnant. If people want to rip...

Wow what the hell was the point of doing that? I honestly don't know anything about movie scores and don't ever really plan to. It's an interesting facet of composition, but I look at it more as an unfortunate evil many composers are drawn into for monetary reasons. I never said John...

Hmm...but I neither trust you nor think I'll agree with you. If you'd said, "hey I've got a great high school band!" I'd have thought, "neat". But instead for some reason your claimed that the whole of northern Texas was not only some fantastic breeding ground for exceptional musicianship, but...

Hmm...Bernard Herrmann and Elmer Berstein are American...not to mention Aaron Copland, John Williams and Leonard Bernstein. So what are you talking about? Hi I'm ace Hyphen One. Your previous statment was declared hilarious due to it's absolute absurdity. I'm sure that there are great...
