Document Summary
Score based almost entirely on modernist approach to composition, entire score essentially atonal. When we listen it should be cold, remote, disturbing sounding yet it"s not random sounding. Somehow it holds together and the reason it does is b/c jerry goldman is using themes/little melodies that he associates w/ diff aspects of the film. It doesn"t sound like conventional melody yet he uses it like conventional melody. We hear this melody indicating she"s thinking of home, uses it in conventional way just unusual sounding. There is actually a main melody to planet of the apes . Cannot repeat a note until all 12 notes have been heard. So if numbering it cant go 1 2 3 5 3 can"t go back to 3 until u played all of the other notes. You can go 1 3 2 2 4 though, you can repeat in this way.
