''Dr. No'' is the original soundtrack for the first James Bond film of the same name. Composer Monty Norman was selected by producer Albert R. Broccoli after Broccoli backed a musical of Norman's ''Belle'' or ''The Ballad of Dr. Crippen'' written by Wolf Mankowitz, a frequent collaborator with Norman and an original screenwriter for ''Dr. No''. Norman accompanied the producers and film crew to Jamaica. The original "James Bond Theme" was written by Norman. John Barry, who would later go on to compose the music for eleven Bond films, arranged the theme, but was uncredited – except for the credit of his orchestra playing the final piece. It has occasionally been suggested that Barry, not Norman, composed the theme. This argument has been the subject of two court cases, the most recent in 2001. Some portions of the theme are, however, based on music Norman composed for a stage musical several years previously. The soundtrack album of ''Dr. No'' was not originally issued to coincide with the film's initial release in October 1962. However, in addition to his fee for orchestrating the "James Bond Theme", Barry was allowed to perform a different orchestration of the theme on Columbia Records. This became a top ten hit in the U.K. The soundtrack album came out after the U.S. release of ''Dr. No'' in June 1963 with American cover version single recordings of "The James Bond Theme" by Al Caiola and Leroy Holmes on United Artists Records and Si Zentner on Liberty Records. In addition to Barry's orchestration of the "James Bond Theme" several of the album's tracks were performed by Byron Lee and the Dragonaires who appear in the film performing "Jump Up". The song "Under the Mango Tree" was performed by an uncredited Diana Coupland, Norman's wife at the time, backed by Ernest Ranglin on guitar.〔Burlingame, Jon (2012) ''The Music of James Bond'', OUP USA, ISBN 978-0199863303, p. 5-11〕 Ranglin also played on several other tracks. Other musicians to record for the soundtrack included Carlos Malcolm.〔 None of the Eric Rogers-orchestrated tracks appear on the soundtrack album. One musical theme that appears in three different orchestrations on the album: "Dr. No's Fantasy", "Twisting with James" and the misleadingly entitled "The James Bond Theme" (track 17 on the album, but entirely unrelated to the "track 1"), is not heard anywhere in the film. Diana Coupland recalled that it was Norman's first attempt at a '"James Bond Theme"'. Notable omissions from the soundtrack include the film's opening sci-fi electronic music sound effects/''"James Bond Theme"'' gunbarrel sequence, and Eric Rogers' symphonic arrangements of Norman's score including a brief theme for Miss Moneypenny, the music from the tarantula scene, and Dr. No's death (reused during the climax of the helicopter attack in ''From Russia with Love'' but not on that soundtrack album either). ==Track listing== # "James Bond Theme" – John Barry Orchestra〔''The Best of James Bond 30th Anniversary Collection'' CD sleevenotes, 1992 EMI, p10〕 # "Kingston Calypso" (a version of "Three Blind Mice") – Byron Lee and the Dragonaires # "Jamaican Rock" (not heard in the film, a possible unused title track) # "Jump Up" – Byron Lee and the Dragonaires # "Audio Bongo" (an electronic music version of a musical theme for Dr. No) # "Under the Mango Tree" – Diana Coupland # "Twisting with James" (a version of "Dr No's Fantasy" unused in the film) # "Jamaica Jazz" – (unused in the film, an instrumental of "Jump Up") # "Under the Mango Tree" – (Instrumental unused in the film) # "Jump Up" – Byron Lee and the Dragonaires # "Dr. No's Fantasy" (unused in the film) # "Kingston Calypso" – Diana Coupland # "The Island Speaks" (an instrumental version of a musical theme for Dr. No accompanying Bond and Quarrel landing on Crab Key) # "Underneath the Mango Tree" – Monty Norman # "The Boy's Chase" (unused in the film; Norman recalled it was written for the car chase when Bond is driven from the airport〔p.73 Chowdhury, Ajay & Field, Matthew ''On Track with Monty'' ''Monty Norman Interview'' in ''Movie Classics Dr. No'' 'Cinema Retro'' Special Edition Issue No 4〕) # "Dr. No's Theme" (an instrumental version of "Kingston Calypso") # "The James Bond Theme" (an unused instrumental version of "Dr. No's Fantasy") # "Love at Last" (heard briefly in a party sequence) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dr. No (soundtrack)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
