Limited edition of 5000. From FSM: "Morricone composed three principal themes for the picture: a 'Main Theme' (which intentionally references the 'Aquarium' movement from Camille Saint-Saêä'çns's Carnival of the Animals), a pastoral melody for flute (full of optimism and hope), and an unforgettable, elegiac love theme, one of the most compelling and beautiful melodies of the composer's storied career. In an unusual move, Morricone gave Malick permission to move cues around, the end result being that much of the music was relocated to different parts of the film than those for which it was composed. Still further differences exist between the music as heard in the film and as it was presented on the soundtrack LP issued by Pacific Arts Records and Tapes. Because of these differences, this 2CD set of Morricone's music for Days of Heaven features three programs, all newly remastered from the ê__" three- and four-track mixes created in Rome (with a few redone in Los Angeles). Tracks 1-13 on disc 1 recreate the 1978 soundtrack album, which included most of Morricone's major themes as well as music not heard in the picture. Tracks 14-30 present the Morricone cues as heard in the finished film, without replicating abridgements and repetitions of certain selections. Disc 2 presents an extended, freestanding program of most (but not all) of Morricone's score as recorded, following the chronological sequence of the slate numbers, along with a handful of bonus tracks. Here the score proves to be considerably more diverse than in the finished film."
