On this week’s episode of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO, we’ll be playing music from superhero and comic book film and television scores. We’ll open the show with Henry Jackman’s new score to the brand new Marvel Cinematic Universe film CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
Our John Williams album of the week is SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE. Williams supplied the film with three new themes while Alexander Courage wrote the rest of the score.
Our re-recording of the week is a recording by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra called SUPERHEROES conducted by John Morris Russell. We’ll feature three selections; A TV Show Medley, a new concert work called “The Launch (Conduktor’s Theme)” by Pete Anthony and Alan Silvestri’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER end credits.
Our video game score of the week will feature Michael Giacchino and Chris Tilton’s unreleased score to THE INCREDIBLES: RISE OF THE UNDERMINER.
You’ll also hear selections from Danny Elfman’s DARKMAN, Christopher Young’s GHOST RIDER, David Newman’s THE SPIRIT, Graeme Revell’s MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE MOVIE, Brain Tyler’s MARVEL STUDIOS FANFARE: SUITE, Cliff Eidelman’s THE METEOR MAN and James L. Venable’s unreleased score to POWERPUFF GIRLS: THE MOVIE.

Great show so far! Glad you’re revisiting this genre and highlighting some deep tracks. Can you list the tracks you played from CIVIL WAR? This score is jaw-droppingly good at times, but only for about ten seconds at a time (kind of like the aural equivalent of REVENGE OF THE SITH), and you’ve got some gems here.
Hi Chris. Thanks for listening. Here are the CIVIL WAR tracks I played. Siberian Overture, Standoff, Larger Than Life and Cap’s Promise.
Darn you and your show, Erik Woods! Now I have to go and buy a copy of the “Superheroes” album from the Cincinatti Pops! And if my cash flow were a little more superheroic, I’d spring for a copy of Eidelman’s “Meteor Man,” as well. Plus, I’ve added “Darkman” to my Netflix queue… at least that doesn’t cost any extra. 🙂
Silvestri’s closing credits for the first Cap film reminds me of Horner’s ROCKETEER score — you, too?
I really enjoyed this episode of Cinematic Sound (even if I think the Civil War score is better than you’re giving it credit for, though the movie leaves a lot to be desired, in my book…) – thanks for it!
I get a kick out of knowing that my show assists in making your wallet lighter! 😉
