Thanks
Used to have channel on Sirius dedicated to movie soundtracks but knocked off yrs ago
I didn’t remember that No Country for Old Men lacked a sound track/theme songs as well as the others I did see like The Brids, Rope,
And FWIW—documentaries can also have great soundtracks
Ken Burn’s are such good examples of using music from the era of the story to bond the viewer to the subject matter…
While an obviously low-budget film, The Basket is filled with history, music, basketball, and a story-line that held me captive from start to finish!
One of the most beautiful of films! Gorgeous cinematography and music. Inspiring performances and fantastic directing. Peter Coyote is at his best. The whole movie, every aspect, works together like a symphony. Magical in its entirety. My last word on this gem of a film is rich and glorious!
I enjoyed all the hidden lessons in this movie - not judging others before you get to know them, forgiveness, overcoming obstacles, and the ugliness of war.
Loved watching boys play a brief game of basketball back during World War 1 .... Loved the beautiful old Victrola playing opera on a hot, summer day. Peter Coyote and Karen Allen pulled this movie off with great acting and an even more positive story line.
I contacted the director, and he sent me a soundtrack.
My boss once told me I was confusing (in a heated discussion about diversity training and organizational strife.)
I told the boss and the HR director to consider using this movie as diversity training. To know the many meanings within this movie is to know me. (the Past and present me).. Peter and Karen did bring extraordinary depth to the presentation. But my fav character is Brigitta. Tho many are interesting.

And I noticed throughout the 60s, hiring a popular singer to act in a film was a good way of getting music on the cheap for the soundtrack. The singers were mostly better than the songs they were given to sing.
But back then, half of the score was used for the opening credits, small bits were used throughout the movie, and the entire score was played under the end credits.
One piece of music serving many scenes. Back when an orchestra was needed (and was needed to be paid), that was sound economically while making some memorable music.
Once a synthesizer played by one person could make something close to the sound of an orchestra, the musical style changed, beginning in the mid-80s.
As the synthesizers became more sophisticated, there were many more musical effects being heard, but fewer of them were good music on its own.
Nowadays, there are fewer extended opening credits. The credits are displayed with no fanfare now.
And the long end credits have use either simpler music or older music that were hits once.
The movie styles have always changed. This is just another change. Hans Zimmer was one of the first to go to synthesizers, 30 years ago, and though he still uses them, he's now trying to bring the sound of a symphony back to the movies.
So this blend of live and digital may be another style change eventually. I think there are some things that never change; big films with big expectations get bigger music budgets. Smaller films go smaller in the sound track. Little independent movies use whatever they can find for their soundtracks.
