That and Wall-E are the two scores I&#39;ve listened to most in the past year.Scott Copelandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15349654784504136020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25738515.post-22741837151232899852009-11-17T10:03:52.719-05:002009-11-17T10:03:52.719-05:00Herrmann is definitely in my Top 3 favorite composers, followed by Thomas Newman (his recent work on Wall-E is brilliant as well as the score for American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption). <br /><br />I love Phillip Glass, particularly for the work he did on The Truman Show (along with Burkhard Dalwitz, of course). <br /><br />One of my favorite recent scores is the one from There Will Be Blood by Jonny Greenwood. Brilliant. I love heavy strings, and the off-kilter percussion made it one of the most memorable pieces of movie music I&#39;d ever heard. I hate that the Academy&#39;s weird rules regarding original scores kept it from being nominated.Allison Dicksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856346021932036387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25738515.post-6116403315674742472009-11-16T09:05:20.723-05:002009-11-16T09:05:20.723-05:00It&#39;s hard for me to list anyone else. Hermann is the best! I think all the movies you mentioned are at the top of his work. <br />Another film with great composing of the day is How to Marry a Millionaire - Alfred Newman which is Randy Newman&#39;s uncle, which is a fantastic movie musician of today!MEnoreply@blogger.com
