Heavy Metal (film) - Score

Score

Unusual for the time, an LP recording of Elmer Bernstein's score was released alongside the soundtrack in 1981, and it featured the composer's first use of the ondes martenot, an instrument which became a trademark of Bernstein's later career. On March 13, 2008, Film Score Monthly released an official, expanded CD release of Bernstein's score, which he conducted. The score was performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with the London Voices and Jeanne Loriod on the ondes Martenot.

  1. "Den and the Green Ball" (03:17)
  2. "Den Makes It" (02:49)

Famous quotes containing the word score:

    “And there’s a score of duchesses, surpassing womankind,
    Or who have found a painter to make them so for pay
    And smooth out stain and blemish with the elegance of his mind:
    I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “How many miles to Babylon?
    Three score and ten.
    Can I get there by candlelight?
    Yes, and back again.”
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. How many miles to Babylon? (l. 1–4)

    “Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries: and though, perhaps, sometimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, and keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturb them. Tell a man passionately in love, that he is jilted; bring a score of witnesses of the falsehood of his mistress, it is ten to one but three kind words of hers shall invalidate all their testimonies.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
