Korngold was interested in writing a score for Juarez , as it involved historical figures from Mexico and Austria. It dealt with the Mexican politician Benito Juarez , but also involved the story of Archduke Maximilian von Habsburg and his wife, Carlotta.

Korngold was moved by the true-life story of how Louis Napoleon , seeing America engulfed by Civil War , took advantage of that fact and attempted, in , to control Mexico. He appointed Maximilian as its emperor. After the United States demanded that France divest itself of its interests in Mexico, the Austrian aristocrat was left to his fate, and he was executed by the Juarez government. The dramatic accent of the film leaned in favor of Maximilian and Carlotta, however, aided greatly by Korngold's poignant themes for them.

Korngold researched the music popular in Mexico at the time and realized it was not Mexican, but "unmistakenly Viennese. The score is essentially operatic, with lush background music throughout, a rousing march theme for Essex Errol Flynn , and one of his "most noble and heroic melodies" for Elizabeth Bette Davis. The loves and hates of the two main characters, the ideas expressed by the playwright generally, while taken from history, are symbolic. It is a play of eternally true principles and motives of love and ambition, as recurrent today as three hundred years ago.

The score concentrates on the regal Main Title, the triumphal entry march of Essex into London, the Queen's theme, and the recapitulation of that theme in the End Titles. It is widely regarded as one of Korngold's best.

In the final duel between Thorpe and Wolfingham, MacDonald states that "Korngold's breathlessly fast-paced music helps to make this one of the most exciting swordfights in cinema history. In this film, the score reflects an evil atmosphere, dark images, and the tense emotions of its crew during an unfortunate voyage. Robinson , as Wolf Larsen, plays a tormented and brutal captain of a sealing schooner, which gets crippled by a rival ship.

To support the complex atmosphere, with its scenes of the fog-shrouded voyage, Korngold created a score that was understated, which was very different from his swashbucklers. Music historian Thomas S. Hischak notes some aspects of the score:. Korngold's score for The Sea Wolf is not only quieter but actually somber and, at times, dissonant. The opening theme captures the chaos of the wilderness in the North but soon the score seems to be enveloped in a fog as are the characters and everything becomes morose and haunting.

The score for Kings Row has been compared to that of films like Gone with the Wind and Anthony Adverse , which also had a powerful theme motif.

Combined with Korngold's score, which some [ who? The score contains a main theme which is varied throughout the film, depending on the how each scene develops.

MacDonald states that the main theme is a "majestic and noble melody that immediately grabs the viewer's attention" when the film begins. British composer Harold Truscott , for example, who saw the film when he was 28, wrote to Korngold admiring the score. He also saw the film more than thirty times just to hear the score, sometimes with his eyes completely closed. For Magic Fire , he was asked to adapt the music of Richard Wagner for a film biography of the composer.

Korngold wrote some original music for the film and is seen during the final scenes in an unbilled cameo as the conductor Hans Richter. He spent the last ten years of his life composing concert pieces, including a Violin Concerto, a Symphonic Serenade for strings, a Cello Concerto and a Symphony. The New Grove Dictionary of Opera [5]. Korngold approached his scoring theatrically, and could only write by regarding film scenarios as opera libretti.

During Captain Blood , for instance, motifs were created for phases of Captain Blood's career as a pirate, using different instrumentation. Variations of some type of brass instrument were heard, such as when the ship readies for voyage, or to lend solemnity to someone's death. A full reiteration of the motif is reserved for a climactic battle scene. The development of motifs in as powerful compositional device for the film composer, allowing him to bring an overall sense of unity to his score and still leave room for variety.

It is not for playing it contains the orchestral score including the soloist part but for listening with my favorite recordings of each. The paper quality is too thin and it sticks together.

This unfortunately makes it nearly impossible to turn pages in performance. Came in excellent condition! Being a naive musician, I thought full score meant the entire work versus an excerpt. However, it meant that it includes all orchestrated parts as well.

I was able to play out of this score, but had many more page turns than if it was solely the violin part. It is nice to have the violin I part for filling in the parts that the solo is resting. So, just be aware that this book is the complete work as you would have for conducting. One person found this helpful.
