Moments in the Spider-Man 2 score

[Anonymous]

To me, there are the favorite tracks on the score. Then, there are the moments in those tracks when everything crescendoes at just the right moment and it makes your hairs stand on end.

Favorite Tracks:
1. Spider-Man 2 Main Title
2. M.J.’s New Life/Spidus Interruptus
3. The Bank/Saving May
4. He’s Back!
5. Train/Appreciation
6. Armageddon/A Really Big Web!
7. At Long Last, Love

Favorite Moments (corresponding with the order of favorite tracks):
1. When Doc Ock’s theme first appears.
2. In the first half, when the love theme is played, then you hear a small chime and the choir lightly kicks in.
3. From about 3:10 into the track up until 3:45…incredible.
4. When the synth starts to pound up until the chorus explosion that can nearly deafen you leading into Doc Ock’s theme and then stopping as Spidey lands on the tower.
5. From 3:40 until 3:50 exactly. It was so perfectly timed. I just love the way the music cascades and repeats the last 2 notes of the main theme.
6. From 2:05 until 2:21 (see the sound clip on this site) and then later on at 3:29 until 3:56…then again at 4:54 until 5:48.
7. The last 2 minutes of the track. Bittersweet confessions then moving into genuine romance, before finally taking off to the skies as Spidey swings through the canyons of Manhattan while Elfman’s masterful orchestra and choir back him up in a swirl of furiously heroic splendor.

It’s very easy for me to accept that Spider-Man 2 is perhaps one of Danny’s finest scores, though it is not as long as it should have been. Aparrently there’s more of it on the DVD.
