I will definitely miss Greg's music on the BDM. The music added so much to the series, stirring emotion, setting the tone, etc.

I am sure the music score will be good too, but Greg will definitely be missed.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah, Greg's score was sort of like your friendly musical narrator...

I didn't even know they weren't GOING with Edmonson for composing!! DAMN! I totally will miss that. I agree with you totally -- every episode my brother and I watched, we were constantly commenting on how cool the music is. Sigh...we'll see when we see the movie, eh?

I think both composers do their job extraordinarily well for the tasks they've been given. David Newman gives Serenity a more orchestral and "important" sound, but I still got that same tingly feeling whenever I heard the guitar twang or the violin hum.

Greg Edmonson did a wonderful job for a television score, and I'm not sure it would translate extraordinarily well to the silver screen, which is why Joss went with David Newman. Both Firefly and Serenity have a unique sound to them, and I love both for different reasons.

Do you know if there is a CD for purchase that has the music from Firefly? I would LOVE that. I'm sure they'll be one with the score for the movie -

I'm notorious for buying movie scores (One of my most recent favorites is the score to Finding Neverland if anyone is interested.)


Be well!

I'm willing to give David Newman a chance. But I can't believe he's going to touch what Greg Edmonson did.

Having seen the BDM I can safely say that, as good as Edmondson's music was, you won't think twice about it when you're watching the film.

the firefly soundtrack at foxmusic.com is gorgeous. the twangs are so perfect for the western, and the drums are incredible. i'm listening to it right now~ it's just as emotionally potent as any film soundtrack and stands on its own without any of the show's voiceovers as fans had provided before. exquisite.
