And also for this last day, we've selected a live performance – to pay tribute to the thousands of talented musicians who've played on all 125 scores, and countless more.

"Fear of failure has killed more dreams than anything else, so I usually go for it." -- Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Star Trek: Prodigy)
For Day 124 of our #Essential125 Film Scores, we turn to the music of Michael Giacchino and his score for #StarTrek. While "Enterprising Young Men" won't ever replace the original's soaring theme, it definitely feels like music that fits within the same universe. Listen to it here and live long and prosper: https://youtu.be/hFDj7rsN0KQ
For Day 123 of our #Essential125 Film Scores, we turn to the music of Junkie XL/Tom Holkenborg and his music for Mad Max: Fury Road. It takes outside-the-box thinking to create an appropriate score for a flick set in the Mad Max universe, and Tom Holkenborg showed that he could really nail the sound of that crazy world. Listen to "Escape" and ride eternal on the highways of Valhalla: https://youtu.be/vtgSVWXKZDY

For Day 122 of our #Essential125 Film Scores, we turn the music of M83 and his score for a forgotten gem called Oblivion. Known mostly for electronic music, M83/Anthony Gonzalez (working with composer Joseph Trapanese) showed surprising ability at combining electronica with traditional orchestral score, which imbued the striking imagery with a grand feel. There's also a gorgeous original song over the end credits, a collaboration with Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør. Listen to "Earth 2077" here: https://youtu.be/iy1ww1JNVHU

Mostly known for her work with The Art of Noise, Dudley did a fantastic job emphasizing not only the story's humor but also its deeper emotions – the fear and insecurities that all the guys are dealing with throughout the story. Listen to "The Lunchbox Has Landed" here: https://youtu.be/lrteBtUL9OI

For Day 120 of our #Essential125 Film Scores, we turn to the music of Marco Beltrami and his score for Hellboy. To come up with music where the main character's a demon who acts like a bratty teenager most of the time, and another character who's basically a talking fish – that's a tough order. But Beltrami came through in grand style, helping director Guillermo Del Toro emphasize the deep emotions running throughout the story so that you almost forget the fantastical and just feel. "Father's Funeral" is the best example of the story's beauty and sorrow, hitting you hard in the feels. Listen to it here: https://youtu.be/aghMeefkLY8

For Day 118 of our Essential 125 Film Scores, we turn to the music of Randy Newman and his score for Monsters, Inc. Whoever would've thought that jazz and monsters would go together so well? It turned out to be an amazing combo, with Newman's music imbuing the story with a big sense of fun and sophistication. Listen to "Sulley and Mike" here and remember that laughter has twice the power of screams: https://youtu.be/_LJBw8ZwDQo

“You know, sometimes courage is knowing there could be trouble and taking the chance anyway” -- Vax (The Legend of Vox Machina)
For Day 117 of our #Essential125 Film Scores, we turn to the music of Henry Jackman and his music for X-Men: First Class, which combines traditional orchestral with a rock influence, which works well with the 60's-set story, and gives a strong theme to the X-Men that they really didn't have before. Listen to it here: https://youtu.be/bf30aRsES6A

For Day 116 of our #Essential125 Film Scores, we turn to the music of Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer and their work on The Boxer. Both Irish singer-songwriters, the duo created a score that combined modern electronic and traditional music in a beautiful blend that was better than the movie itself. Listen to "In The Shadow of A Gun" here: https://youtu.be/WbESr05r5cc
Happy Birthday, Grant Gustin! 🎉🍰 Which Barry Allen moment is your favorite?
Happy Birthday, Carl Weathers! 🎉🍰 Which role of his is your favorite?
For Day 115 of our #Essential125 Film Scores, we turn to the music of Joseph Bishara and his music for The Conjuring (this flick's second appearance on this list), which ushered in a new era of horror. And Bishara's music is a big part of what makes it so terrifying. While definitely not hummable or easy to classify, Bishara's avant-garde work is totally unsettling and keeps you feeling tense throughout. Listen to "Clap Game" here: https://youtu.be/fQi_DFsklEY
