Le colonne sonore di E.R. (Emergency Room) |
Non è facile trovare le colonne sonore con le canzoni e le musiche utilizzate nella più celebre fiction televisiva degli ultimi anni, prototipo per tutti i medical dramas che sono venuti dopo ad invadere lo spazio televisivo. D'altra parte ER (in Italia Medici in prima linea) è stato in programmazione per 14 stagioni, con 22-23 puntate ciascuna, potrebbero essere stati utilizzati oltre 300 brani complessivamente, comunque sempre scelti con oculatezza ed appropriata originalità dai bravi e raffinati registi che si sono avvicendati nella cabina di comando di questo autentico capolavoro tra i serial. Sulla enciclopedia on-line del cinema, IMDB, è presente una scheda per ciascuna delle puntate trasmesse, spesso a livello di abbozzo, ma titolo, interpreti e vicenda in estrema sintesi sono sempre disponibili. La colonna sonora raramente è disponibile ed è limitata ad alcune delle canzoni più significative. In molti altri siti, e soprattutto nei forum degli appassionati di ogni paese, sono stati raccolti i titoli delle trasmissioni per puntata, in modo più o meno sistematico, ma solitamente con reperibilità non facile. Presentiamo qui, aiutandoci anche con un po' di memoria, una sintesi panoramica delle musiche di ER, dalla stagione 1 alla 13. Le scelte sempre oculate e spesso sorprendenti dei curatori del serial daranno sicuramente numerosi suggerimenti per buoni ascolti o insolite scoperte, mentre i cultori potranno ricollegare quel momento particolare alla canzone utilizzata. Cominciamo a ritroso, dalla stagione trasmessa in Italia nel 2008, la tredicesima. |

NOTE |
Oltre
ad alcuni brani scelti tra i successi del momento, spesso di gruppi o cantanti
noti solo negli USA la colonna sonora della 13° stagione di ER propone molte
selezioni interessanti. Una buona attenzione è data alla scena inglese e
irlandese, con il cantautore David Gray
(White Ladder,1999, il suo album più noto sinora, gli altri brani sono ripresi
da Life in slow Motion, un album più recente, del 2005) e con la ancora più
raffinata
Beth Orton (Central Reservation, Comfort of
Strangers, la canzone scelta però non è uno dei successi della musicista, ma una
cover di un brano dei Five Stairsteps, inserita nell'album War Child, pubblicato
per sostenere la omonima organizzazione), o con i gruppi alternative
Snow Patrol (Eyes Open) e trip-hop elettronici
come il ben noto duo Goldfrapp (Felt
Mountain, Supernature, da cui è tratto il brano selezionato). Dalla scena
alternative americana provengono i modaioli The Killers
(Sam's Town). Altre scelte sono
obbligate o coerenti con la situazione, dal classico della musica disco di
KC & The Sunshine Band
(la stessa utilizzata anche in Forrest Gump)
al celebre brano dei
Clash,
i portabandiera del punk-rock combattente. |

Come noto, il dottor Mark Ciccio Green, gravemente malato, si è dedicato nei suoi ultimi mesi di vita a recuperare il rapporto difficile con la figlia adolescente Rachel, portandola a vivere nelle isole del Pacifico dove era cresciuto, figlio di un militare USA. |

Il tema musicale di ER (la sigla iniziale) è stato
composto da James Newton Howard. E' stato pubblicato da tempo su CD un
estratto della musica originale strumentale composta per il serial (ER:
Original Television Theme Music And Score): |
« ... La 13a stagione della migliore fiction televisiva di tutti i tempi, trasmessa in USA l'anno scorso, è finalmente nel palinsesto di RAI 2, il venerdì sera. ... Da tempo immemorabile, dagli inizi con Clooney nella parte del pediatra della Emergency Room, il telefilm viene trasmesso, infatti, da RAI 2 con un atteggiamento strano, sembra che lo sopporti, come una specie di tassa ineluttabile. Ad esempio evita qualsiasi annuncio e qualsiasi promozione. Mentre per i mediocri serial Lost e Desperate Housewife e per l'appena discreto Ghost Whisperer fa una promozione continua, praticamente ad ogni interruzione pubblicitaria, la ripartenza di ER avviene sempre a sorpresa. ... Molti seguono i suoi molti derivati, la
pallida e sfocata serie Grey's Anatomy,
la parodia di Scrubs (su MTV) e
soprattutto il Dr. House. |
