In 1994 Innersound International, a record company in Atlanta, Georgia, called and ask me to do a series of albums called Magic of the Movies.

We started with six albums and then added two more a couple of years later. It was one of the more fun, though most difficult projects, that I ever worked on. Fun for the fact that I got to conduct the orchestra, be the artist etc. and difficult that for those first six albums, we put together so much music in such a short time, I still do not know how we did it all.

We, was basically, one of my best friends, Ron Livingston, (who at the time was trying to help me build a new way in the music industry) and me. Poor Ron got stuck putting together more music than he had ever read in his lifetime...but we laughed a lot that is for sure!

Thanks to my friends in Los Angeles who sent me some original scores to re-copy and use for the orchestra that was going to record them. But that re-copying stuff was brutal as well, to say the least. I had just begun using computer for such things and the learning curve as well as the program was very slow, unlike the knowledge and the speed that I have today!

Anyway, for those who are interested here is the play list of this album. You might still be able to find it on the web someplace but most are out of print now. But is was a blast to do for sure!

1. Gone With The Wind, Max Steiner 4:09
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark: Raiders March, John William arranged/orchestrated by Bill Broughton 2:39
3. Chariots of Fire: Race to the End, Vangelis 4:16
4. Jaws: Suite, Composed/arranged by John Williams, orchestrated by John Cacavas 8:25
5. The Godfather: Medley, Nino Rota and Carmen Cappola arranged/orchestrated by Bill Broughton 6:56
6. Out of Africa: The Music of Goodbye, John Barry arranged/orchestrated by Bill Broughton 4:18
7. Doctor Zhivago: Somewhere My Love (Lara’s Theme), Maurice Jarre arranged by Merle J. Isaac 3:35
8. Lawrence of Arabia: Main Theme, Maurice Jarre arranged/orchestrated by Lee Johnson 3:26
9. Exodus: Main Theme, Ernest Gold arranged by Robert Russell Bennett 9:55
10.Ben-Hur: Love Theme, Miklos Rosa arranged/orchestrated by Bill Broughton 3:46

As you can see, if you read the Titles, I had the privilege and the fun of writing some new arrangements for the orchestra. In each case, I truly tried to keep the integrity of the original sound tracks.
