Notes on Soundtrack: WHAT DREAMS MAY COME (1998) (Part 2)

- Morricone (2016): "I met Vincent Ward, the director, in Los Angeles. When he described the plot of the film to me I could not help feeling emotional. Eventually we agreed on the themes and recorded them. … The production was already over, but at the last minute they decided not to use my music and called Michael Kamen to replace me. … My music was not at all sentimental. Unfortunately their decision was affected by the fact that it was a poor mix, and the volume of the music was too high. It could have never worked like that." (In His Own Words, page 130) Morricone: "It was legitimate if the director decided he wanted something else, but it would have been a sign of respect had I been the one to rewrite it." (defunct site) "I remember Morricone did a seminar here at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles for the Society of Composers and Lyricists at about that time. Someone asked, 'What did you think of the producers rejecting your score because it was too dark and somber?' Morricone began calmly saying, 'I have no problem with that criticism, but if that is the case…' and then he got out of his chair and practically shouted at us, '…why didn't they come to me, the composer they hired to score the film, to correct the situation?!' The roomful of mainly fellow composers responded with some deafening applause. … It put him off of Hollywood product, of which he became pretty selective afterward." link La La Land Records (2004): "…but it's a mess. The score was owned by Interscope, which was owned by Polygram, which is now owned by Universal. It's one of my favorite scores too. I actually got to see a print of the film with some of his score in it. It was stunning!" link
