Music reviews of Film Music of Vaughan Williams 1
Music Review: Grab This One, Fast!
Rating: 5 Stars
I was introduced to this music first through the symphony, SINFONIA ANTARTICA, conducted by Adrian Boult on EMI -- on the list of my top ten favorites. I didn't know the symphony was based on music for the film SCOTT OF THE ANTARCTIC until I read about it in Ursula Vaughan Williams biography of R.V.W. I managed to track down an old VHS of the movie at my local library. I liked the film very much, though it's a bit uneven. There is one particularly haunting scene where Scott and the other two survivors on his team are huddled in their tent, at the end of their endurance, all dreaming of home.
The film did not employ the music to its best effect -- I think it was edited before the heyday of movie score editing. But the music is delightful, and if the film had been made 10 years later, I'm sure the score would have been knit much more gracefully into the movie. The opening sequence ascends the musical scale just as Scott and his team ascended that frozen landscape, and is truly awe-inspiring. The music expresses the other-worldly quality of the place so beautifully, it could be used as a score for a film about Mars.
Scott's story is fascinating and tragic, and I think his fellow Brit, R.V.W. understood that on a very deep level. If anyone ever makes another film about Scott of the Antarctic, I hope they use this score. The wider public should hear it -- it's one of the greats.
I own all 3 of the Chandos recordings of the film music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, and I love them. Try them all!
