[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 433595, member: 57984"] We needed oboe, spinet, piano, acoustic guitar, cello, trumpet (occasionally) and harp... And that's rarely what we got. I mostly like the composition for Season 9, except for episode #9.17, "Sins of the Father" -- the installment opens up with Alexis and Adam returning to her Carlton suite after having visited Elsworth Chisholm, and end with Zorelli watching Blake, Dex and Jeff out on a boat in the lake (the latter moment being the best part of the score). I like the entry itself, but it's the only episode from Season 9 where Dennis McCarthy's score just sounds lazily obligatory, rising and falling with bombasticity, and undermines the drama. It really should have been something a little Bernard Herrmann-esque, that episode's score. [IMG width="643px"]https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w780/mwnpukCxJUCUlOE86g94eiUtgwM.jpg[/IMG] I have a lot of complaints about DYNASTY's sometimes excessive, boringly woodwindy music. Scores are so important to establish atmosphere, mood and emotional subtext, that a wrong-headed score can do more damage than good. But I like Season 9 so much, that it's notable when one composition in particular rubs me the wrong way. [MEDIA=youtube]7JVl9oBNlXE[/MEDIA] Oh, my pie-in-the-sky ambitions for the show's artistry.
