INTRADA Special Collection。作曲家マイケル・ケイメンが長大で壮大なスコアを提供した1993年のディズニー・アクション・アドベンチャー映画『三銃士』の完全盤がリリース！ 異例のことだが、ケイメンは影開始の数カ月前に作曲家に抜擢されたが、これは最近手がけた別の文学大作『ロビン・フッド』に続く自信の表れでした。 ケイメンの『三銃士』のスコアは伝統的なシンフォニック作品である。物語の舞台となるバロック時代を考慮し、チェンバロ、リコーダー、クラムホルン（ダブルリード）といった当時の楽器を研究し、アンサンブルに取り入れた。彼のセットピースの多くは、ほとんど古典的な構造感覚を伝えており、ドライブするオスティナートやそれに付随する英雄的な図形などの装置が繰り返し使われている。カメンの意図は、三銃士とその若い弟子のそれぞれに、トランペット、チューバ、フルート、フレンチホルンといった特定の楽器を関連づけることだった。ケイメンはまた、この映画の悪役たちにも同等の注意を払っている。唸りながら降りてくる金管楽器のモチーフが、リシュリュー枢機卿とその赤衛兵の存在を告げる。
Intrada announces an expanded edition of the 1993 Disney action-adventure film The Three Musketeers, for which composer Michael Kamen delivered a lengthy, epic score. In an unusual practice, Kamen was selected as the composer months before shooting began, a show of confidence after his work on a another, recent literary epic: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Kamen's score for The Three Musketeers is a traditional symphonic work. In view of the Baroque era in which the story takes place, he researched and incorporated period instruments such as harpsichord, recorder and crumhorn (a double reed) into the ensemble; he also wove in ornamental trills and flourishes characteristic of the period. Many of his set pieces convey an almost classical sense of structure, with recurring devices such as the driving ostinato and associated heroic figures. Kamen's intention was for specific instruments to be associated with each of the three Musketeers and their young protege: trumpet, tuba, flute and French horn. Kamen also lavishes equal attention on the film's villains?snarling, descending brass motif announces the presence of both Cardinal Richelieu and his Red Guards. At the time of the film's release, Hollywood Records released a 42-minute album featuring highlights from the score. This new 2-CD release more than doubles the length of that original album, with a total score time of 98 minutes. A few alternates and source music appear after the complete program, as well as the complete original Hollywood Records program. For this release, Bruce Botnick remixed and mastered the entire score from the original digital masters. Neil S. Bulk along with Botnick produced the final master, and the release features notes by John Takis.
In the film, a young man named D'Artagnan (Chris O'Donnell) travels to Paris in 1625 to follow in his father's footsteps by joining the Musketeers?a corps of elite guardsmen who protect the King. By the time he arrives, however, the Musketeers have been disbanded by Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry), who seeks to usurp the throne from young King Louis XIII. In his brashness, D'Artagnan runs afoul of three of the Musketeers?noble Athos (Kiefer Sutherland), tempestuous Porthos (Oliver Platt) and pious Aramis (Charlie Sheen)?challenging each to a duel before the four men make common cause against Richelieu's guards and their sinister captain, the Count de Rochefort (Michael Wincott). The four allies soon uncover a plot against the crown. In the end, the heroes band together?"All for one, and one for all!"?to cast down Richelieu, and D'Artagnan proudly takes his place as one of the Musketeers.

INTRADA Special Collection。作曲家マイケル・ケイメンが長大で壮大なスコアを提供した1993年のディズニー・アクション・アドベンチャー映画『三銃士』の完全盤がリリース！

映画公開当時、ハリウッド・レコードはスコアのハイライトを収録した42分のアルバムをリリースしました。この新しい2枚組CDのリリースは、そのオリジナル・アルバムの倍以上の長さで、総スコア時間は98分。ハリウッド・レコードのオリジナル・プログラム全曲と同様に、いくつかの別バージョンとソース・ミュージックがフルスコアの後に収録されています。このリリースのために、ブルース・ボトニックはオリジナル・デジタル・マスターからスコア全体をリミックスし、マスタリングした。ニール・S・バルクはボトニックとともに最終マスターを制作し、ジョン・タキスによるノートを収録。
この映画では、ダルタニアン（クリス・オドネル）という名の青年が、父の跡を継ぐために1625年のパリに渡り、国王を守る精鋭衛兵隊である銃士隊に入隊する。しかし彼が到着する頃には、若き国王ルイ13世から王位を簒奪しようとするリシュリュー枢機卿（ティム・カリー）によって銃士隊は解散されていた。ダルタニアンは、気高いアトス（キーファー・サザーランド）、気性の激しいポルトス（オリヴァー・プラット）、敬虔なアラミス（チャーリー・シーン）という三銃士と対立し、それぞれに決闘を申し込む。4人の仲間はやがて王室に対する陰謀を暴く。最後には、英雄たちは団結し、「一人は皆のために、皆は一人のために！」リシュリューを倒し、ダルタニアンは銃士の一人として誇りを持ってその座につく。
