Stranger still I think some of the music this series uses appears in Close Encounters. But in fact BBC radio drama often lifts from movie scores. There were two wonderful pirate adventure plays I heard as a kid that used amazing, exciting music that made it sound like watching an Errol Flynn movie. A couple of years later I discovered that the music was FROM an Errol Flynn movie (The Sea Hawk). If you look up Carmilla (which I think I already uploaded) that uses music from both Bram Stoker's Dracula and The Ghost and Mrs Muir, to excellent effect...
@@mysteriousmagpie Wow. I used to be a real film music nerd so I'll check that out. There DID used to be some Errol Flynn music that got used in a lot of other projects...I wonder if it was the same. I am so rusty on it all now. I did actually sing some stuff for BBC plays years back...there used to be a small radius of advertising agencies, production companies, recording studios etc sort of off Oxford St/Bond St and I'd do some session work (crazy good money in those days) for them. I was TERRIBLE and have not heard the results. I fear they'll be bloody awful. :)
@@jwsuicides8095 Well... I might have heard the results. You don't remember the names of any of the plays do you? In truth radio drama has driven me mad more than a couple of times simply because it's prone to using sourced music without crediting it - so in the old days I just had to go through the rest of my life hoping I'd stumble upon a particular piece of music to find out what it was. In particular the old Gormenghast radio plays used some Sibelius tracks... and a really great play called Mustard Seed used Spiegel Im Spiegel... And weirdly, it was a radio play where I first heard Max Richter's 'On the Nature of Daylight' - weird since it must be one of the most-used-in-films pieces of music of the last twenty years...
@@mysteriousmagpie The names I remember I'm too embarrassed to say...I've certainly not heard them on YT before and that may be saving much earhole pain...if I find anything and decide it's bearable then I may 'fess up! The film 'The Great Beauty' (usually available on Amazon) has an amazing soundtrack. I can't remember if they used the wondrous "Spiegel..." but certainly other music by Part and that got me started with him. I think it was that film that also introduced me to The Beatitudes as played by the Kronos Quartet. If you like "On The Nature Of Daylight" then I think you'll wet your knickers at The Beatitudes.
Gosh but her Dad needed a a slap!
Quite surprised that they licensed the music from Poltergeist.
