Fox Turns Searchlights on Its Musical Legacy

November 18, 2010 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

From Varese Sarabande comes the track list to a really great-looking set: a compilation of music from the films of 20th Century Fox.

The long-running film studio celebrated its 75th anniversary this year with a newly-enhanced opening logo (still maintaining that iconic fanfare as penned by Alfred Newman in 1933), and plans to release a massive set of DVDs (from Cavalcade (1933) to Avatar (2009)) on December 7. That same date will see the release of 20th Century Fox: 75 Years of Great Film Music, a three-disc set compiling the best of the studio's wide selection of film scores.

While some may gripe at one big omission on the set (the lack of music from the Star Wars trilogy, arguably one of Fox's most famous musical offerings), the set is appropriately diverse to appeal to both casual and hardcore fans. In fact, two rare Williams compositions - music from the films The Paper Chase (1973) and Conrack (1974) - make appearances on this new set. (Both were previously released on Film Score Monthly's original CD release of The Poseidon Adventure (1972) from 1998, which has long since gone out of print.) And of course the set has more than music from Williams; compositions by the greatest luminaries in soundtrack history, including Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri, James Horner, Bernard Hermann, Alex North, Bill Conti, Michael Kamen and (naturally) Alfred Newman, all appear on this set.

Again, Varese will release this set on December 7 in unlimited quantities. Hit the jump to see the track list and order your copy here.

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
