    • Important, complete release of magnificent, yet never-used soundtrack from 1983 Walt Disney production based on classic Ray Bradbury novel. Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Diane Ladd, Pam Grier star, Jack Clayton directs, Bradbury himself scripts. Years ago, Intrada premiered dynamic, early James Horner soundtrack eventually used in film. Now, near-legendary unused score by Georges Delere gets a complete release unto its own. Delerue opens with rich, chordal motif for low brass that is simultaneously regal, unsettling. As score progresses, motif reveals itself to be variant of primary theme for Mr. Dark (Pryce) and his frightening carnival. Delerue uses theme throughout score, often in masterful disguises that include everything from eerie choral intonations to subtle woodwind treatment. Harmonically-rich, dramatic idea even gets demented, minor-key statement, recorded on large pipe organ for calliope sequence. Other ideas abound: winding, sinewy melody for strings, cor Anglais during "The First Witch", glistening water effects from bowed vibraphone for "Mirrors", haunting music box melodies, much more. Especially moving is heartfelt, memorably sad theme for strings, introduced during early bedtime scene ("Halloway's Bedroom"), then fully realized during moving father/son sequence "You'll Live Forever". Minor-key theme offers Delerue writing in his finest melodic mode. Special spotlight goes to climactic "Dark Dies" cue, providing composer opportunity to write arguably his most powerful film music ever. When fireworks are over and midget person retrieves body of Dark, Delerue returns to his opening chordal motif for low brass in stroke of pure musical genius. Composer himself considered music to be amongst his all-time finest, written for massive orchestra with chorus in tow. Entire score presented in stereo, newly mixed and mastered from 2" 24-track session masters vaulted by Disney in pristine condition. Beautiful "flipper" cover design by Joe Sikoryak provides two gorgeous, early Bob Peak artwork campaigns intended for American posters but not used. Informative booklet notes by Tim Greiving provide insight into difficulties in readying film production for release into theaters. Georges Delerue conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain!

    • Tech Talk From The Producer…

      The ability to fully restore and present Georges Delerue’s never-used score for Something Wicked This Way Comes has for years been derailed by the lack of suitable master elements. All that was known to exist was the composer’s personal copy on ¼ ̋ tape at the slow speed of 7½ IPS. Then, in a wonderful recent discovery, Disney’s archival personnel located a wealth of audio elements for the picture. Amongst those elements were the complete 2 ̋ 24-track scoring session masters. At last, Georges Delerue’s incredible score could be newly mixed into digital stereo, including every sequence he wrote for the film. This included several cues recorded prior to major postproduction changes that were, themselves, dropped from the then-existing cut of the film. For Delerue, scoring the picture was quite a journey, one that ultimately led to the most disappointing moment in his career—the score went totally unused.

      But it now lives a new life eternal. It’s all here. The incredibly rich trombone chords intoning Mr. Dark’s theme that accompanied the opening images of the film and then returned in moving fashion after his deceased body was dragged away beneath the tent. The tender theme that played for Charles Halloway as his son Will tearfully begs him to never talk about death. The intense—even exhilarating—action music in the final reel with the reverse merry-go-round and the shocking demise of Mr. Dark. All of it and more reveal the score Georges Delerue composed and conducted during April 1982 at the CBS Studio Center studio, representing what arguably was his all-time most moving and powerful film score. One that will never die.

      —Douglass Fake
