| | Posted: | | | | when a Composer is already credited? I submitted a contribution for Rango removing the 9 "Music arranged by" credits because Hans Zimmer is already credited as Composer and have 2 NO votes so far? Am I wrong? | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

| | Posted: | | | | Your change is correct. Arrangers don't write the music/score, they just re-write it for specific purposes.
If there is a Composer then by definition the arrangers didn't create something new.
(And even if there wasn't a credited Composer, the Arrangers couldn't be credited, because there work was not to create Original Music) | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | Tweeter is correct music arrangement is existing music that was adapted for performance by a particular set of voices or instruments so, by definition, not a composer. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Agree with Tweeter and the E.T. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | Add another agreement. "Arranged By" has zero to do with composition. The Nay Sayers on your contribution are absolutely in the wrong. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree as well. An arranger does not a composer make. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | You are correct. Be sure and edit your contribution, I would point out this unanimous (!) thread, so that the screeners don't mistakenly accept the "no" votes as correct. |

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed as well. Back in the golden age there are tons of arrangement credits, without a proper composer. You also run into a lot of musical direction credits, which equates to the same thing. Back then, the studios were grinding out 2-3 films a week and frequently shuffled stock music cues for standard scenes. Obviously, the studios employed composers for their bigger productions, but they also had some composers on staff who's regular job was to build the library of cues for the rest of the productions. |
