"R" is Redemption

The theatrical trailer for Brokeback Mountain used the music of Gustavo Santaolalla, but the pulsing music of Thomas Newman from Shawshank Redemption made the trailer more heartbreaking.

"S" is steel

The score for Brokeback Mountain  features Bob Bernstein on pedal steel guitar.  Bob Bernstein also played pedal steel guitar on the songs "A Love That Will Never Grow Old," "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me," "I Don't Want to Say Goodbye," "I Will Never Let You Go," and "An Angel Went Up in Flames."

Ennis tapped enthusiastically on the coffeepot with a stick to help bring Jack's "Water Walking Jesus" to a rousing finale.

"U" is ubiety

The music of Gustavo Santaolalla contributes greatly to the ubiety of the scenes in Brokeback Mountain.

The vocally stunning Emmylou Harris earned a Golden Globe for her rendition of "A Love That Will Never Grow Old".

"W" is woodwind
« Reply #10645 on: January 29, 2007, 01:55:50 pm »
There was a saxophone, which is a woodwind instrument, in the Fourth of July marching band.



Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax (1814 - Feb. 4, 1894) was Belgian musical instrument manufacturer and musician (he played the clarinet) who invented the saxophone. Sax first exhibited his newly-invented woodwind instrument at the 1841 Brussels Exhibition, and patented it in 1846. Sax also invented the saxhorn (a family of bugles with 3 or 4 valves), which he first exhibited in 1844.

"X" is xcitant
« Reply #10646 on: January 29, 2007, 02:00:23 pm »
Ennis receives an xcitant visit from his daughter Junior, in which he learns he can attend her wedding to a man who loves her; and he can see and hear his other daughter Jenny as she sings at the Methodist Church ceremony.  I think that would be the best music of Brokeback Mountain.

Jimbo and the other rodeo clowns bore the brunt of the bulls' bellicosity.
