Miss Marple at the Gallop

Who does not know, Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple in the four classic films ... and who is not familiar with the associated film music? This winking cunningly fashioned daherpurzelnde Harpsichord motif, tailored to the unparalleled title character? This captivating theme that you do not get out of your head, and you whistle in all possible situations to himself?
In each of the four films, the music, despite their high recognition value, its own character: In "Murder at the Gallop" (Murder at the Gallop) is heard rousing Woodwinds, suitable for riding, and of course dancing Miss Marple and her Mister Stringer-bred Twist, and hey presto, the music varies according to the rhythm. Or if the old lady in the depths of the theater on Murder Hunt constricted ("Murder, She Said") and the music behave the tension increases ... or if any suspects sneaking in "Murder Ahoy" (murderer Ahoy) for your own music on Deck until all together somehow rhymes different than it have figures, spectators and -hörer presented ...
Anyway rarely fit a film music so precisely to quirky actress; in Rutherford's appearances in other movies you miss the music properly.
And here's the crazy thing: When the United cineastes of all countries called for the soundtrack, it turned out that the composer and orchestra conductor, Ron Goodwin, on the basis of the films reconstruct the scores and then the music with a (highly capable) Danish Orchestra re-record had - one learns from the booklet. Those were the days! (One is wistfully, when you consider what a scrap to any blockbuster today immediately zumüllt the CD racks).

Although this CD contains a 20 minutes long veritable Miss Marple-suite and a brief topic Repeat two more film scores (for "cannon for Navarone" and "Lancelot and Guinevere"), but who - for undisputed quality - - far from the charm of the unforgettable "Miss Marple" music. Suspect you will not get rid of that they mitdurften halt because was so much space. And why is the CD also rightly "The Miss Marple film"

So you can not hear exactly the original film music, but that does not matter. Goodwin and his Odense Symphony hold in fact largely to the originals, to any Verschlimmbesserung and every kowtow in front Zeitgeist resist, accept all the bizarre strokes of genius of the originals, and so you always recognize in the beautifully long suite out which movie is just off - times are's hunting horns and the twist that still miss more liveliness to the motive, sometimes is en passant a "Rule Britannia" quoted - and you've got Miss Marple in mind as Fidel on the "Battledore" Warsong mitschmettert and a little demilitarized. Equally they have been at the relevant passages in mind, as it burrows through the abysses of Theaterkeller and actresses souls, as it ensures at the estate of the corner Thorpe for order, and how they prowling on deck. And of course you have right in front of eyes, as they once again up and running overturns the famous cape.

Thus one does not cry, but then when, after 20 minutes, Final, there's still ne nice short recapitulation as second track. And then there's still the "repeat" button ... Well, that they exist, the "repeat" button, the alias Miss Marple Margaret Rutherford, and the music of Ron Goodwin!
