<b><span style="color: red;">Soundtrack</span></b><span style="color: red;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy;">A <b>soundtrack</b> can be recorded
music accompanying and synchronized to the images of a motion picture, book, television
program or video game; a commercially released soundtrack album of music as
featured in the soundtrack of a film or TV show; or the physical area of a film
that contains the synchronized recorded sound.</span></div>
<span style="color: navy;">The term <b>soundtrack</b> now most commonly refers
to the music used in a movie (or television show), and/or to an album sold
containing that music. Sometimes, the music has been recorded just for the film
or album . Often, but not always, and depending on the type of movie, the
soundtrack album will contain portions of the score, music composed for
dramatic effect as the movie's plot occurs. In 1908, Camille Saint-Saëns
composed the first music specifically for use in a motion picture (L'assasinat
du duc de Guise), and releasing recordings of songs used in films became
prevalent in the 1930s. Henry Mancini, who won an Emmy Award and two Grammys
for his soundtrack to <i>Peter Gunn</i>, was the first composer to have a
widespread hit with a song from a soundtrack.</span><br />
<span style="color: navy;">By convention, a <i>soundtrack</i> record can
contain all kinds of music including music "inspired by" but not
actually appearing in the movie; the <i>score</i> contains only music by the
original film's composer(s).</span><br />
<span style="color: navy;">Soundtrack may also refer to music used in video
games. While sound effects were nearly universally used for action happening in
the game, music to accompany the gameplay was a later development. Rob Hubbard
and Martin Galway were early composers of music specifically for video games
for the 1980s Commodore 64 computer. Koji Kondo was an early and important
composer for Nintendo games. As the technology improved, polyphonic and often
orchestral soundtracks replaced simple monophonic melodies starting in the late
1980s and the soundtracks to popular games such as the <i>Dragon Quest</i> and <i>Final
Fantasy</i> series began to be released separately. In addition to compositions
written specifically for video games, the advent of CD technology allowed
developers to incorporate licensed songs into their soundtrack (the <i>Grand
Theft Auto</i> series is a good example of this). Furthermore, when Microsoft
released the Xbox in 2001, it featured an option allowing users to customize
the soundtrack for certain games by ripping a CD to the hard-drive.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: navy;">A <b>soundtrack album</b> is any album that
incorporates music directly recorded from the soundtrack of a particular feature
film all the tracks from the movie are included in the album; however there are
rare cases of songs in the trailers that do not appear in the movie but occur
on the soundtrack album. Also, music that is not in the movie can sometimes be
incorporated onto a soundtrack album; one notable example is the </span><i><span style="color: navy;">South</span></i><i><span style="color: navy;"> </span></i><i><span style="color: navy;">Park</span></i><i><span style="color: navy;">: Bigger, Longer & Uncut</span></i><span style="color: navy;"> soundtrack. Two other well-known examples are Rodgers and
Hammerstein's <i>Carousel</i> and <i>The King and I</i>. In each case, two or
more songs which are featured on the album were not included in the finished
film.</span><br />
<span style="color: navy;">Often, in advertisements or store listings,
soundtrack albums are confused with original cast albums. These are albums made
with the original stage cast of a Broadway musical, and are recorded by the
cast either in live performance or in a studio, not transferred from a movie
soundtrack.</span><br />
<span style="color: navy;">In some cases, recorded dialogue may be incorporated
into the soundtrack album. This comes in two kinds: audio clips from the movie
itself (used on the albums for <i>Pulp Fiction</i> and <i>Apollo 13</i>, for
example) or radio dramas that involve the characters from the movie involved in
other events (example: <i>King of Pirates</i>, from <i>FLCL</i>). The unusual
1956 soundtrack album of the 1939 film <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> was virtually a
condensed version of the film, with enough dialogue on the album for the
listener to be able to easily follow the plot, as was the first soundtrack
album of the 1968 <i>Romeo and Juliet</i>, and the soundtrack albums of <i>The
Taming of the Shrew</i>, <i>Cromwell</i>, and <i>Little Big Man</i>. In the
case of <i>Patton</i>, the bulk of the album featured the film's musical score,
while the opening and final tracks featured George C. Scott's opening and
closing speeches from the movie. The highly unusual soundtrack album of the
1972 mystery film <i>Sleuth</i> was designed as a sort of teaser, with Laurence
Olivier and Michael Caine's voices heard for the first three minutes, after
which the dialogue was abruptly cut off and the musical score of the film took
over, forcing listeners to actually see the film if they wished to know what
the mystery was all about.</span><br />
<span style="color: navy;">In a few rare instances, the <i>complete</i>
soundtrack for a film — dialogue, music, sound effects, etc — has been
released. One notable example was a 3-LP set of the 1977 Rankin-Bass film <i>The
Hobbit</i>. Because this particular film was produced for television, it lent
itself well to the LP format: built-in commercial insert points were used to end
each LP side, thus avoiding any additional editing. Another example was the
above-mentioned Zeffirelli <i>Romeo and Juliet</i> - the movie proved so
popular that two years after the film's original release, an album set of the
complete soundtrack was released.</span><br />
