L' iguana dalla lingua di fuoco

After the CD release of Stelvio Cipriani’s scores for Horror movies directed by Mario Bava (“Ecologia del delitto” and “Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga” - available on Digitmovies CDDM046), for another Horror “Un ombra nell’Ombra” (available on Digitmovies CDDM052), and for the Giallo “La morte cammina con i tacchi alti” (available on Digitmovies CDDM056) Digitmovies is now glad to release for the first time on record the complete original motion picture score by M°Cipriani for the Giallo “L’iguana dalla lingua di fuoco”. This CD edition was made possible thanks again to the help of C.A.M., in whose archives the original stereo master tapes have been stored until today and to the help of M°Cipriani who approved our musical selection. The score is based on a romantic main theme introduced in the Main Titles with a beat arrangement for orchestra feat. vocal of Nora Orlandi (Tr.1). This motif is reprised with variations in Tr.4, a version for solo piano performed by Stelvio Cipriani and again vocalized by Nora Orlandi, then in a version for piano and symphonic orchestra (Tr.9) and ultimately in a semi Pop-flavoured version using harpsichord, piano, guitar and female voice (Tr.11). The dark side of the score is given by a series of macabre and suspense themes sometimes slow and mysterious (Tr.2, Tr.5, Tr.7, Tr.12, Tr.14), sometimes fast and rhythmical (Tr.6, Tr.10, Tr.13).
