Wise Music now rents Dimitri Tiomkin concert suites for Warner Bros. films administered by Warner/Chappell. The Wise Music Classical Rental Libraries is a leading commercial music library and performance materials are shipped all over the world.
Wise recommends you use the Zinfonia website for all rental enquiries. Registered Zinfonia users can enquire about titles, terms, get quotes, and order performance materials directly from publishers and their agents. Zinfonia also works together with Newzik, the leading music reader tailored for large ensembles, to make it easier to order and play digital scores.
Dimitri Tiomkin
Scores and parts for films scored by Dimitri Tiomkin currently available for rental feature selected music from the films of Alfred Hitchcock, and suites for Giant, The High and the Mighty, Land of the Pharaohs, The Old Man and the Sea, Rio Bravo, and The Sundowners.
The twelve-minute concert suite for Giant for full orchestra showcases Dimitri Tiomkin’s music for the 1956 film. Arranged by Christopher Palmer and Patrick Russ, the four movement suite consists of a “Prelude,” the “Love Theme From Giant: There’s Never Been Anyone Else But You,” “Ballad of Jett Rink,” and the “Finale.” The Finale includes an optional chorus for “The Green Leaves of Summer.” Tiomkin received an Academy Award nomination for his score.
The eight-minute Rio Bravo concert suite for full orchestra includes the main thematic material from Dimitri Tiomkin’s music for the 1959 film. Arranged by Christopher Palmer and Patrick Russ, the three movement suite consists of the “Main Title (‘Rio Bravo’),” “Love Theme,” and “Deguello.” There is an optional male vocal solo for “Rio Bravo,” with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster.
These same suites were recorded in 2011 by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Richard Kaufman, and released by LSO Live in 2012, “The Greatest Film Scores of Dimitri Tiomkin.”
Tiomkin is in good company, other composers in the Wise Music catalog include Elmer Bernstein, Philip Glass, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Nyman, John Waxman, and John Williams.
Previously the music was available through Schott Music Corporation and European American Music Distributors Company (EAM), members of the Schott Music international group of companies.
The switch to Wise Music from Schott/EAM is indicative of the often rapid changes that occur in the music publishing field that affect the sale and rental of music scores for films. In February, we will post an A to Z guide to Dimitri Tiomkin music publications and rentals, research, and rights clearance to aid users in navigating rights and permissions.
