Troy: James Horner or Gabriel Yared?
Having now seen Troy with its James Horner score (& bought the CD) and listened to excerpts from Gabriel Yareds' rejected score my impression is that someone has blundered...but who?. Given that he had only a 2 weeks to compose about 90 mins of music James Horner has done a remarkable job but it is brash and a bit bombastic whereas Gabriel Yared had the luxury of months to prepare a score and he has crafted something just as epic but much subtler. So who blundered? I blame the Sudio executives and I wonder if they'll be brave enough when it comes to releasing the DVD to have BOTH scores on it......but I doubt it, meanwhile all you people at FSM, Varese, Intrada, Silva Screen etc. how about trying to get a commercial release of Gabriel Yareds' music?

Well, I think that first of all Petersen didn't like the idea to hire Yared, so I guess he and the producers tried to get him out of the project. When that happened they contact Horner and he made a very good job.
I really doubt that the rejected music could be released (at least now) because Warner Bros. owns the rights.

Go to gabrielyared.com
The composer himself tells all the sad story.
I'm not a big fan of Horner, but I must admit this guy knows his job. Sure he can write a full score in ten minutes, but to me film music is not a sport, it's an art.
