Jarre frames with rousing "Main Title", equally exciting "End Credits", then embarks on dynamic journey with motifs both epic, haunting. Rhythmic action music also has plenty to say. Truly powerful Maurice Jarre score! Entire CD presented from pristine-condition, two-track digital stereo session mixes recorded by Shawn Murphy at UCLA's Royce Hall in late June & July 1991 and mixed at Sony Pictures Studios.

    • Tech Talk From The Producer…

      Maurice Jarre scored The Setting Sun as an epic musical tapestry depicting events leading into WWII and Japan’s pending invasion of Manchuria. He wrote a large-scale, lavishly percussive and orchestrally florid work, weaving several themes, both grand and tender, into the fabric.

      Jarre often assembled his albums not as mere souvenirs of the films they accompanied but as wholly constructed pieces of music worthy of the concert hall. Keys for various themes were often complementary, motifs that recurred throughout the score were given similar orchestral colors and other compositional devices were employed that facilitated numerous short cues being assembled into larger, cohesive sequences. With scores as diverse as Lion of the Desert (1981), Shadow of the Wolf (1993), Sunshine (1999), The Year of Living Dangerously (1983) and Tai-Pan (1986), Jarre fashioned his many cues into sensational listening experiences where the music no longer had to mimic the editing and pacing of the picture but instead could live and breathe as an entirely different (and independent) entity. The various cues were still there but they now formed stand-alone works of their own.

      As the cues for The Setting Sun appeared to have been scored with the above-described musical continuity in mind, we elected to honor the composer’s album construction preferences by fashioning the shorter cues into lengthy, cohesive set-pieces that followed the overall picture narrative while playing as musically complete “movements” unto themselves. While not all film soundtracks can enjoy this much more satisfying musical approach, it is cause for joy when one can.

      The Setting Sun was recorded at Royce Hall on the University of Southern California campus and subsequently mixed by Shawn Murphy at Sony Pictures Studios. The digital masters survived in pristine condition and Intrada wishes to thank orchestrator Patrick Russ for his assistance in helping us preserve and present this musical treasure.
