Back to the Future: "Clocktower Pt. 1” by Alan Silvestri (Score Reduction and Analysis) A full score reduction of the clocktower scene from Back to the Future. I own nothing. Enjoy!
This first part of the clock tower is brilliant... acting and score. Even as a kid, it moved me... the realization of everything that has to happen for this to work, Marty being rightfully scared about doing it, worried that even if he makes it Doc will be dead because he ripped the letter. It's all really driven home by the score too
The contrabassoon, that have the bass line at 1:38, is inaudible. What a pity! Why almost all film composers included bassoons and contra in our soundtrack, and then the orchestration and the mix don't stand out them?
There is a "film score analysis" of the opening from The Incredibles if you're interested. It's on another channel, but a quick search should help you find it.
