In between, I’ve been listening to the soundtrack of the Franco Zeffirelli movie “Endless Love” (1981) with Brooke Shields.
The pop singer Lionel Richie has written an eponymous ballad for the movie, sung by him and Diana Ross - thankfully not by his daughter Nicole and her BFF Paris.
I have attended my share of weddings where the song was used for the couple’s first dance. (Film composer Craig Armstrong’s score for “Love Actually” is a fine alternative.)
Jonathan Tunick has built an orchestral score around that main theme. It’s underscoring but done with craft.
I found no other soundtracks of Tunick who’s known as an orchestrator rather than a composer. (Orchestrators tend to stay in the shadow: the one exception I know is Conrad Pope who assists John Williams and writes his own scores.)

“CUSTOMER: Do you have this children's book I've heard about? It's supposed to be very good. It's called "Lionel Richie and the Wardrobe.”

The lovely silhouette of @sometimess-maybee aka @sometimessmagical - blended with some of my photos, some of hers, some of her artwork, some poetry, some prose, her butterfly, her weed, and Lionel Richie. 🖤😊
