|
What I'm talking about here is when there's some sort of actual song in a movie (often at a party of club or something) and the original score fades in over it. Usually, the music fades out quickly, letting the score take over, but occassionally both tracks continue for a significant period of time. Sometimes this works really well and sometimes it sounds terrible. The specific instance I am thinking of is Alan Silvestri in Romancing the Stone in which a salsa dance song is overlayed with the love theme and both continue for more than half a minute, I think.
What are your thoughts on combining the diagetic music and score? And more importantly, do you have any other instances where it worked really well?

I've just seen "Munich" yesterday.
Shortly after the introduction of the film the funeral of the victims of the Olympia Massacre, where a traditional jewish song (regrettably I don't know the correct name or title) is played by the (military?) brass ensemble, is beeing shown on TV.
The song fades over to an orchestral version by John Williams, which really works perfectly for the film.
(I can't tell what the album record is like, haven't heard it yet.)
Or "The Thin Red Line", scored by Hans Zimmer (and probably 12 other Media-Ventures members...????):
The traditional chants by the native people are beeing reflected in orchestral versions, but I can't remember if there also were any of these "cross-fades".
Nevertheless I like the film and the music very much! |
