After seeing the movie, we will have visual images to go with most of the music, memory allowing. ("I go to the hills....." Julie Andrews in an Alpine meadow) The questions are: can the music stand alone? Will your like or dislike of the scenes the music accompanies influence your liking or disliking of the music? I suppose a test could be listening to old movie music whose movie you have not seen. Or maybe someone in the group can tell me a movie they liked, and I can listen to the score - or part of it, at least, should be on Youtube - an invaluable resource.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I have seen practically nothing in the last 20 years or so, so please recommend a score.

I would get the musical scores from the Star Wars movies performed by <br>
the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In so far as classical music can be <br>
considered a genre instead of a musical period ending in the 1800s, <br>
then John Williams is one of the best modern classical music <br>
composers. He is why the Star Wars movies are "space opera" instead of <br>
"space theater" or "space story".<br>
