Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks for this!! I just listened to all of the cues. "Weaving a web" drives me CRAZY when it's ever (all the time) used on DAYS. Also "Stefano's Theme", I don't think that's really Stefano's is it? They use that cue all the time in different situations. I don't like that one either. I love "Together" and "A Good Day" Those ones are beautiful. "Heist" is interesting to. "Nighttime Hope's Theme" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah I'm not really sure why it's called Stefano's theme. It played alot during the whole Sydnapping storyline last year, it still plays from time to time but I would say it's more EJ's theme than Stefano's. Eww to Heist, it reminds me of Stan, LOL. "Nighttime Hope's Theme" really is awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Agreed with the bolded, I thought the same as well. It reminds me of EJ & they do frequently play it in his scenes. LOL And yes, VERY awful! Ugh that whaling, screaming lady. The worst! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Seeing that site made me wonder if there are any more like it for any of the other soaps' composers? Who is AMC's current music composer & do they have a website? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Don't know if this has been mentioned further in the thread, but does anyone know who composed the music for Sunset Beach? They always had such great underscores. And, is any of it available anywhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 6, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks for the link, Sindacco. Like I said before, DBN is such a bad composer. My God, those are so bad. LOL BTW, Stefano's theme will always be that short music cue, I think it's the Phoenix cue.....it's at 1:48 of this clip: <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fI21NDG8Yfc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yes, I love the Phoenix cue. I remember watching a clip from the Stockholm storyline when Marlena was kidnapped by Orpheus and I could swear I heard the Phoenix cue. Toups, do you know if the cue was Marty's or DBN's? I want to know when Marty's music stopped playing on the show and when DBN's music started, I know it was around 1993 but not sure exactly when. And what about Corday? From what I've read he's been working with the shows music sine the last 70s which means he also worked with Marty. I have always wanted to know what music is Corday's, does he have a different style than Marty and DBN? What I hate the most about the DAYS music is that they have all these great cues but they never use them. They just keep making new ones. DBN said this in an interview last year: I just don't get that. I want to hear familiar music. When Stefano walks into a scene I want to hear the Phoenix music. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 I loved Stefano's cue as well. Peter Blake had his own theme that I liked very much. It was stopped being used some time after JER left. Does any one remeber a certain background tune for his scenes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yr9190 Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Do any other soaps still ever use their old background cues during a scene? I was wondering, since today's episode of Y&R ended with one of their old (but wonderful) background music cues from the 80's/90's I was wondering do any soaps sometimes still pull out old music cues during scenes like Y&R and B&B does? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm not positive but amc was using some clarinet cues a few years ago that sounded very familiar i.e. '80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Honestly, I think most TPTB are embarrassed by those old soapy cues, which is the reason we get a lot of new agey music. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 I swear if DAYS would go back to its early '80s music cues I'd watch for that alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) It'd be weird if AMC used some of its early 80s underscores. They used background music differently then...usually just to open and close certain scenes and acts, and sometimes to enhance scenes, but not always. I can't imagine an episode opening with some whimsical music playing over a slow zoom-in on Kendall's house, fading into a shot of Ricky holding her at knife point.
