Intrada Releases Two Classic ’60s Scores from the Vault

October 26, 2010 By Mike Duquette — No Comments

Intrada’s latest batch of titles may be on the shorter side when it comes to pure musical recognition, but they have three scores released for the first time anywhere – two of which are from two classic adapted film works of the early ’60s.

Those scores are to 1961’s Raisin in the Sun and 1962’s Requiem for a Heavyweight, both penned by Laurence Rosenthal. Requiem is an adaptation of the famous Playhouse 90 teleplay penned by Rod Serling (this adaptation stars Anthony Quinn as the boxer and Jackie Gleason as his manager, not to mention a young Cassius Clay – not yet called Muhammad Ali – as one of Quinn’s opponents), while Raisin is an adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway play with its original cast reprising their roles onscreen (including Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee and Louis Gossett, Jr.).

Each score is sourced from the original mono masters; portions of Requiem are missing but nearly all of the score is present. (Raisin is complete.) The label has also released a Signature Edition of Bruce Broughton’s score to Glory & Honor, a 1998 TV-movie starring Delroy Lindo as Matthew Henson, the real-life colleague of explorer Robert Peary. Racial politics in the early 20th century obscured the importance of Henson, who was black, with regard to Peary’s successful expedition to the North Pole in 1909.

Glory & Honor is limited to 1,200 copies while the Rosenthal two-fer is capped at 1,500. The usual info is after the jump.
