ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS
Composed by Mark Snow

$14.95

Before his wildly popular success on THE X-FILES, composer Mark Snow flexed his musical muscles with the robust holiday-flavored orchestral score for the 1986 comedy ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS. This perennial yuletide gem was the most charming and accessible of the ongoing series of comedies showcasing the talents of hapless handyman Ernest P. Worrell, played by the late Jim Varney. Though continually broad in its slapstick, this charming installment displayed a disarmingly tender and dramatic side as Worrell ineptly assists in the recruitment of a new Santa Claus in time for Christmas.

One of the film's greatest strengths is undoubtedly Snow's score which gave him the unique opportunity to display his talent for lush orchestral flourishes, warm character-driven passages and grand yule bombast for the film's rousing finale.

In 2002, a promotional soundtrack containing Snow's complete original score was produced on a very limited basis and distributed throughout the entertainment industry. Percepto has acquired the remaining 25 copies and is offering them on a first-come, first served basis.

This exclusive release contains the original professionally-produced CD-R with the printed booklet and inlay.
