Tierra Unica is a destination blogsite focusing on world travel, entertainment, cuisine, news, popular culture, sports, business, technology, humor, and events from around the world with an emphasis on the USA and South America (Peru, Argentina, Brazil, etc).
Here is the creepiest and most unusual music scoring of the sci-fi classic - "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (1951). This is the opening of the film without dialogue, the score
included electric violin, electric bass, 2 theremins* (treble &
bass), test oscillators, vibraphone, 4 pianos, 4 harps &
approximately 30 brass instruments. Unusual overdubbing &
tape-reversal techniques were used as well.
The film music composer
of this score Bernard Herrmann (1911-75) is particularly known for the
scores of Alfred Hitchcock's films (such as Psycho), he also composed
notable scores for many other movies (such as Citizen Kane & Taxi
Driver), radio broadcast & TV programs. His music is typified by
frequent use of ostinati (short repeating patterns), novel
orchestration & an ability to portray character traits not
altogether obvious from other elements of the film. In the last years
of Herrmann's life he did much to create interest in film scores as a
form of music worthy of appreciation & performance.
Here is a stunningly beautiful picture-video done by a vlogger from Argentina named Marcos (aka: IBruit).
He has put spectacular images of many of the famous mountains from around the world on this video. There are many pictures of the great mountains of the United States, Asia, and Africa. Also, if you have traveled to South America, you will see the unbelievable images of the great mountains of the "Cordillera Blanca", the Andes Mountain range, and the "Patagonia"!
But what is the most stunning and beautiful thing about this video is that IBruit used the music of one of the greatest classical piano artist of all-time as a background setting - the Russian Rachmaninov! It is called Rachmaninov Piano Concerto #2.
If you look at this video and listen to the music, you will come to the conclusion that the Earth is Unique. Like the name of this blogsite -"La Tierra es unica......Tierra Unica"
IBruit calls his video - The Glory Of Mountains - La Gloria De Las Montañas!!!
Glorious Mountains to the music of Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto # 2 Pictures of the following mountains from around the world are in the video:
