Barry, who won best song and best score for "Born Free" in 1966, best score for "The Lion in Winter" in 1968 and best score for "Out of Africa" in 1985, is competing this year with Randy Newman, "Avalon"; Maurice Jarre, "Ghost"; David Grusin, "Havana"; and John Williams, "Home Alone." Barry's health took a sudden dive in 1987 when his esophagus exploded. His wife rushed him to a Long Island hospital in the middle of the night. He had 40 hours of surgery over 14 months. In January 1990, Kevin Costner, who directed and starred in "Dances With Wolves," sent Barry a four-hoversion of the movie about Union soldier John Dunbar, who joins a Sioux Indian tribe in the Dakota Territory at the end of the Civil War. Costner had recorded some authentic Indian music. Unlike "Out of Africa," in which Barry adapted a Zulu hunting song and wedding song for his score, he didn't find anything in Costner's recording to use. "I felt I should stick to John Dunbar his journey, his reaction, his adventure," Barry said. "I said any Indian music we use, let's keep it totally authentic. There are ur Oscar Countdown ed various moments where it is a color in the background. I think it's very effective in its totally authen- tic state." Barry composed themes for the buffalo hunt, Dunbar's journey and other scenes. Costner liked all except the wolf theme and Barry rewrote it. He first has a pianist and flutist record his themes then he heads to the booth with the engineer. "It is like creating an impression of what orchestra is going to a sound like." He uses a piano instead of a synthesizer and a mov-ieolwhich moves at 24 frames and which can be second per stopped at any frame, instead of a ce a, VCR. The "Dances with Wolves" soundtrack has been released by Epic Associated Records. Barry conducts the orchestra. "That's all the fun, isn't it? After having spent six months writing the stuff, to go in there and have all those musicians and start to conduct. It doesn't get any better than that." Barry, 57, born in York, England, said he always wanted to compose for movies. "My father was an Irishman who started in the management of theaters and moved to York in the beginning of the 1930s and bought his first cinema. He wound up by the end of the 1950s with an independent circuit of eight theaters. At the time, I was studying music the family business was cinemas. (renamed His lungs collapsed. Doctors thought he'd tried to poison him- self. "Waking up, the first thing I saw was a priest My wife was told, 'If he lives three days, we have a chance.'"

A few months later, he had another repair operation; three days later it fell apart. for Kicks" in "Living the United States). Barry wrote the music. Then he composed for "Never Let Go," which starred Peter Sellers. "The audience kept away in droves, as Sam Goldwyn used to say," Barry said. "I had two credits. That was the start of the movie thing for me. You aim your sights but you don't know how it is going Doctors removed his esophagus and inserted tubes. Then, more than a year after the first operation, they created a new esophagus to reveal itself down the line. "The James Bond movies came because we were successful in the pop music world, with a couple of big instrumental hits. They thought I knew how to write instrumental hit music." However, for the Bond pictures he usually wrote both the title song and the score, integrating the song melodies into the score. He wrote the songs for "Goldfinger," "Diamonds Are Forever," "Thunder-ball,-" "You Only Live Twice" and "View to a Kill," the latter with Duran Duran. "Now they drop the song in. I hate that idea. The opening credits music is the equivalent of an overture in opera. If there's a song, I still try to integrate it into the out of a piece of his colon. After "Out of Africa," Barry wrote music for "Masquerade" and "Howard the Duck" and started "Far From Home." problem, he says, since he already was established as a film composer and flights to Los Angeles are quick. "It'll be three years this April since the final operation. Now I eat about anything I want. I have to eat leisurely; I can't stuff it down." His voice returned and, eventually, his energy. "Movie people were wonderful," he said. "I got sent scripts when I was in the hospital after the first operation. I was crazy enough to think I would be able to function." After the last operation he started to work on "Stella," found himself confused as to its thrust and with- drew Then amicably. came "Dances With Wolves." Barry keeps a flat in London and has lived in Oyster Bay, Long Island, since 1980. That isn't a score." Your Horoscope For March 24 By Jeaue Dixon HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
