Hi Chesky.
You wanted to know about a few other scores that Elmer Bernstein
composed that contained music similar to 'Dana's Theme' in
GHOSTBUSTERS.
First off. The love theme is supported by the instrument Ondes
Martenot. Bernstein used this instrument a lot in his later scores, so
I believe this is what you are looking for in relation to other love
themes. But I'll also list other Bernstein compositions that are
listener friendly.
THE FIELD
THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN
RAMBLING ROSE
THE AGE OF INNOCENCE
FAR FROM HEAVEN
DA
MY LEFT FOOT
THE GOOD SON
THE BABE
MARIE WARD
STRIPES
FRANKIE STARLIGHT
HAWAII
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
THE BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ
and
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
Most of these scores are still available.
For added insurance, here's a link that contains reviews of all these
scores. These reviews will help you in making your selections.
