He has definitely scored "Mary's Beheading", shekar Kapur had confirmed this in his blog long ago. Infact Mary's beheading was shot simultaneously with recorded music. Film crew were in tears when the scene came to an end as the music blended so well with the scene!
There is one more write up on the score by Shekar which is interesting. Would like to know your thoughts on this. Read further June 01, 2007 | 09:58 PM Temp Score and Real score I am going through the last minute pains of Golden Age. As we edit the film we add what we call temp score to the edit - to impress people as the see the film in various stages of the edit. This this score is stolen from all over the place. Other movies mainly, but also from classical recordings etc. Problem is that you got so used to the temp score that it is difficult to imagine any other score to fit the film... ..but of course it will not. For the temp score is chosen for it's particularness to each shot. It has no harmonious integrity of it's own. When the composer comes on, he will score the film so that the whole score has integrity and some kind of unison. As he should for the theme to evolve. But it will never ever be as precise as the temp score !! So I trying to get over my addiction to the temp score right now. My fear that actually the film that tested so well in the US had better music. Which is of course is not true, but another bit of obsessiveness on my part. Shekhar
