Summary
|
Alazar, a simple farmer who is also a beekeeper,
meets the Three Wise Men Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar,
who have set off to celebrate the arrival on earth of the
Messiah. Alazar's magic bees become magically transformed
into the tail of the bright comet which leads the four of
them to the manger. At first, the brave young farmer's son
is on the point of leaving the Wise Men to their fate because
he has been forced against his will by their magic powers
to leave his pregnant wife Izirah behind. He only very reluctantly
agrees to the Kings' request to accompany them. Although
the Three Wise Men make it very clear to him how important
the Messiah's arrival on earth is, the relationship between
the four men remains very tense. Nevertheless, despite all
disagreements, our travelling companions soon become firm
friends -and after several exciting adventures they finally
succeed in locating the manger. The Three Kings then allow
Alazar to return home to his loving wife. Written by Anonymous

About
the music
|
This third
Image Music release features Ennio Morricone working with
his son Andrea Morricone. Andrea has long been his father's
musical assistant and has contributed themes to some of his
father's scores, notably the famous love theme from Cinema
Pradiso. Andrea is now a respected film composer in his own
right, with both film and television works to his credit.
The music from IL Quarto Re (1995) is full of orchestral and
choral splendour, with all the usual Morricone elements that
make The Mission so popular. There are three distinctive and
attractive themes. 'Exultat' is stirring and addictive, 'Il
Quarto Re' is reflective and beautiful, and 'Con Giogia Serena'
is triumphant and bright, very similar to one of the themes
in City of Joy. All are given both orchestral and choral arrangements
and are developed sufficiently to keep the music fresh. Some
secondary tension material is also provided, but even this
is more agreeable than you might think.(Here) |

About
Jing
Our friend,
Rodison C. Leonardo, was born in
the Philippines, a native Filipino. You can also call him by his
nickname Jing. He's 34 years old, a Roman Catholic. He holds a
degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communication
Engineering. There was once an occurrence in his life he wanted
to enter Priesthood after his graduation in college. For some
personal reasons, he didn't continue to pursue it. Until now it's
very hard to admit that he's still a bachelor at his mature age.
He only diverts his time to watch film or hear music after his
work. He loves film and music. His real hobbies are to collect
music in LPs and CDs, and also to collect films in VHS, VCD and
DVD as well. He started to like Sir Ennio Morricone's music when
he saw the film "The Mission" in 1995. He considered
The Mission music 'very influential' to him. Seeking more of Sir
Ennio's works, he joined in one of Morricone's prestige forums.
There he met many friends in different nations who really loved
to help those who were beginners of knowing Sir Ennio and his
magnificent scores. He still makes contact to some of them through
e-mail. Knowing friends who have one common goal, "to spread
the music of Sir Ennio Morricone", is a very remarkable and
tremendous experience for him. It's so great to know there's someone
in the Philippines who really appreciate Maestro Ennio Morricone,
truly the legend of film music.
