MOVIE MUSIC SPICES A VARIETY OF SCENARIOS
Motion picture soundtracks have been a crucial part of movie making since the onset of the talking picture era, but only quite recently have entertainment entrepreneurs conceived of the soundtrack album as more than an offshoot of a film. Eight years ago, Saturday Night Fever demonstrated that the crossmarketing of a movie and its pop-rock soundtrack album could create a double blockbuster, both film and record, and the role of movie music hasnt been the same since. The quest for hit soundtrack albums has even created a new occupation in Hollywood - the musical coordinator, usually someone from the pop field hired to compile a collection of potential hits for a particular movie. The soundtrack albums of John Hughess popular youth movie, Pretty in Pink, and Alan Rudolphs moody romantic comedy, Trouble in Mind, both use contemporary popular music very astutely to appeal to different audiences. Pretty in Pink is a movie made about and for teen-agers; the market for Trouble in Mind is a hip baby-boom audience.
Hundreds Of Tunes For Hailing The Chief
Musicians may be used to large entourages of band mates, roadies and managers, but on Monday there will be a new addition to the retinue of several of Americas best-known performers: a Secret Service detail. Monday, of course, is the night of the Presidential Inaugural balls. There will be no fewer than 14, all held at the same time in different ballrooms across Washington, and it has fallen into the hands of two men, Bill Kitchen and Bruce Orosz, to coordinate the entertainment at every one. The two have booked more than 500 musicians. Many of them dont even know which ball they will perform at; others will be playing at more than one ball and will need Secret Service muscle to move through the packed city from one party to another.. Host of musical events are planned for inaugural galas in Washington on January 20 (M)

Out of the Church, Into the Streets
Traditional gospel is the music of mass choirs, ecstatic solos and pounding, clapping rhythms. Real gospel music is an intelligible sermon in song, says Harold Bailey, who led the Harold Bailey singers in the 1960s and 70s. Throughout its history, this church music has influenced, and been influenced by, the popular music of its time. Todays acts -- like BeBe and CeCe Winans, Sounds of Blackness, Take Six, Commissioned, Tramaine Hawkins and the Winans brothers -- have added high-priced producers, up-tempo arrangements and pop instrumentations to traditional gospel. Thus armed they are gaining airplay on so-called contemporary urban radio, home otherwise to acts like Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker and C & C Music Factory. As gospel music gains new acceptance, it is once again moving away from its roots.

A Pilgrims Progress, of Sorts
IT is a somewhat surreal experience at any time, the slow, almost noiseless ascent via electric tram from the Getty Centers mandatory off-street parking, up a long dry incline peppered with imported greenery, to the museums isolated hillside perch. Even more so on a recent night, midway through the American segment of the World Festival of Sacred Music -- the first of five pan-ecumenic, multiethnic and ecosensitive celebrations planned under the aegis of the Dalai Lama to take place on consecutive continents in the coming millennial months. Behind us, vistas of city lights unfolded like star maps. High above, the museums floodlit walls glowed celestially white against the blackness. I was reminded -- Hollywood, after all, lay just beyond the freeway -- of all those comedies, wishfully divine, in which heaven is accessed by up-to-the minute forms of transportation. I was on my way up to hear Lila Downs, a singer whose repertory combines an almost documentarian approach to the multiple folk musics of her mothers homeland, Oaxaca, with a voice so vari-colored and many-octaved that its difficult to imagine it as the product of a single larynx. But I might as easily have decided to attend a Sacred Dance for World Healing performed by Tibetan monks in a U.C.L.A. courtyard, or a program of chants to Southern Italys Black Madonna.. Ariel Swartley comment on recent World Festival of Sacred Music, held in Los Angeles; photos; event was first of five multiethnic, ecosensitive millennial celebrations planned around world, under aegis of Dalai Lama (M)
AFRICA AND PURPLE TOP OSCAR LISTS
With 11 nominations apiece, The Color Purple and Out of Africa led the 58th Academy Award nominations announced today. Unexpectedly, they were joined in the race for best picture by a Brazilian movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, which was nominated in four major categories. The English-language film, the story of a revolutionary and a homosexual who share a prison cell, won nominations for Hector Babenco, its director; Leonard Schrader, its screenwriter, and William Hurt as best actor for his performance as the homosexual window dresser who spins fantasies from old movies. The Color Purple, the story of a black womans subjugation by her husband, and Out of Africa, the sprawling tale of the novelist Isak Dinesens years as a coffee planter, will compete head to head in seven categories, including best picture, actress and cinematography. They will not, however, be in competition for the directing award. Although Sydney Pollack received a directing nomination for Out of Africa, Steven Spielberg of The Color Purple was passed over by the academy, in perhaps the biggest surprise of the day. Nominees are chosen by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who work in the same field. The 230 directors nominate for best director. Thus, The Color Purple could win 11 nominations without its director also being nominated.

One Show, Two Shows, Old Shows, New Shows
TNT is in the midst of a Seuss-a-Bration (its phrase), offering through mid-December what is billed as the most complete collection of Dr. Seuss animated features ever gathered for television. Not so coincidentally, the Turner effort is being coordinated with marketing strategies to sell Seuss books and new lines of clothing for children. As it happens, the new Cat in the Hat Balloon in this years Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade is sponsored by Random House in association with TNT and Esprit clothing. All of which carries more than a whiff of paradox regarding a writer whose most famous tale, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, ended with the astute realization: Maybe Christmas doesnt come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more. But then Dr. Seuss himself, really Theodor (Ted) S. Geisel, the son of immigrants from Germany -- Seuss was his mothers family name -- spent a good part of his professional life in advertising. It was he who came up with the immortal (figured in ad years) line: Quick, Henry, the Flit.

GRAMMY AWARDS SHOW FINALLY COMES OF AGE
PRINCE, as is his wont, ripped off his shirt and bared his diminutive torso. Leonard Bernstein, accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award, insisted, as the kids in the balcony cheered, that he was a Tina Turner fan. Andy Williams announced that Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer had been accepted into the Music Hall of Fame. And Linda Ronstadt, who last year showed up in a frilly prom dress, appeared in pigtails this time around. These precious moments were part of Tuesday evenings live broadcast on CBS - from 8 to about 11:20 - of The 27th Annual Grammy Awards. Presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Grammys are considered the recording industrys highest form of praise. For the most part, of course, there is a pronounced correlation between who gets the awards and the record sales. Last years undisputed champion, Michael Jackson, was barely mentioned this year (his video production of The Making of Thriller did get an award) and he stayed away from the ceremonies.
