Ron Goodwin - Candleshoe '1977;2021

Tracks list

Rousing, flavorful Walt Disney/Ron Goodwin soundtrack music arrives on CD at
last! One of several pictures scored by Goodwin for Disney, Candleshoe offers
music both comedic, dramatic. Jodie Foster, David Niven, Helen Hayes, Leo McKern
headline terrific cast, Norman Tokar directs with flair. Candleshoe is English
countryside estate replete with possible ancestral treasure. Hayes is owner Lady
St. Edmund, Niven her loyal butler, Foster the American orphan staged by thieves
to pose as missing granddaughter in order to locate treasure. Events funny,
exciting, warmly sentimental all result. Goodwin tackles all of them with his
score. Energetic Main Title launches with brass line over striking major key
rhythms. Other themes abound throughout score but two outstanding ideas based on
harmonic vocabulary of main theme deserve spotlight. First is richly expressive
string music in modal Vaughan Williams manner during Casey Takes A Walk With
Lady St. Edmund, opening portion of End Title. Second is incredibly dynamic
sword-fight action music for The Big Fight At Candleshoe with blazing brass,
powerful rhythms, unfolding to similar modal harmonies. Results are widely
varied orchestral scoring with unusual degree of coherency throughout. Entire
score appears on Intrada CD, presented from two-track stereo session masters
recorded by Goodwin in April 1977 at Anvil Studios with Eric Tomlinson
engineering, all courtesy Walt Disney Pictures and Ron Goodwin Estate. Goodwin
scores lilting Candleshoe Waltz for both vintage phonograph-style chamber
ensemble plus full orchestral statement, then melds portions of each as
nostalgic scene between Hayes, Niven plays on screen. Film mix plays as track
14, complete separate versions appear later as extras. Also included in extras
are two additional alternate takes of Main Title, two piano quotes of
Greensleeves that figure prominently in first part of film plus one alternate
take of lively Market Day sequence. Informative liner notes by Tim Greiving,
colorful package design by Joe Sikoryak. Ron Goodwin conducts. Intrada Special
