  3. I think he is asked so much that large stretches without anything rarely come up. He talks about the tuba and viola concerto being somewhat spontaneous. Heartwood probably the same. I wonder how much the piano concerto is him and how much Ax asking. I do think that he loves the popular vein of composing more than he realizes or at least sometimes lets on. Jumping at the ESPN thing the way he did and the comments in this interview point to him wanting more than just concert-hall composing. 50 years from now, musicologists are going to be dumbfounded that he pulled off a lifetime worth of work for the concert hall and a lifetime worth of work for movies (and a hell of a lot of occasion pieces to boot). He seems so balanced. His comments on Goldsmith and others being unhappy due to their career frustrations is so perceptive. He found the recipe for a lifetime of happiness as a composer--something that very, very few composers (from Mozart to Beethoven to Goldsmith) have pulled off.

  6. To carry on @WampaRat’s thematic glossary I put together a thematic breakdown of the score as well as the chronological order. I’ve seen the film three times now and honestly it’s one of the best things I’ve watched in a long time. In combination with Part One I’d say this is a 10/10 movie. RETURNING THEMES/MOTIFS Dune Main Theme - I’ll be classifying the four-note theme as the “A” theme and the eight-note theme as the “B” theme to stay consistent. When both play at once I’ll refer to it as the main theme. Fate/“The One” Theme - There is a major missing variation of this theme that plays towards the end of the film. It has the Kwisatz Haderach motif as a counterpoint. I’m sure this will be on the FYC album. Vast Mystery/Wonder Chords - Sadly this motif takes a backseat in this score. It plays a select couple times but doesn’t nearly have the presence it did in the first film. Tragic Noble Theme - Another theme that is diluted this time around. It has a great appearance at the end of “Only I Will Remain” but that track doesn’t actually play during the film only the credits. Impending Doom Motif - Although not actually appearing as much as it did in the first film, this motif makes a major impact on the film by playing in select important scenes relating to Paul’s dark future or even the darker actions he takes here. Sorrow/Loss Motif - Sadly not featured on the album but there is a track in the film that features this motif. It plays twice and both times relates to how the Bene Gesserit prophecy is taking over the Fremen and leading them to war. Hopefully this track will be on FYC album. House Atreides/Paul and Chani’s Love Theme - This theme goes from barely being featured in the first film to becoming the main theme of the second. It evolves from the bagpipe power anthem for House Atreides to a beautiful woodwind/Blade Runner-esque love theme for Paul and Chani. Bene Gesserit Whispers/Chants Arrakis Drum Motif Harkonnen Screech Harkonnen Clang Fremen Chimes - This is a new motif that I noticed upon rewatching both films. It’s like a small little chime march that appears when characters are walking through the rocky terrain of the Sietches. It’s not on the new album but it plays in the film when… (Sandwalk Video (FYC) - 0:22) (Stillsuits - 1:55) NEW THEMES/MOTIFS Feyd Rautha Motif - Heard more in the film itself, this is a dark cello motif that represents the chaotically evil Feyd Rautha. (Harkonnen Arena - 0:00, 0:44) (Seduction - 0:00) Kwisatz Haderach Motif - New dark three-note cello motif for the culmination of the Bene Gesserit breeding process; the Kwisatz Haderach. Also has a drum rhythm behind it. Blares loud in theaters and often acts as a counterpoint to other main themes. It represents both Paul and Feyd as they’re both prospects for the Kwisatz Haderach. (Harkonnen Arena - 4:48) (Travel South - 0:06) (Arrival - 0:00) (You Fought Well - 0:12) The Emperor’s Motif - Loud and grand motif that represents the emperor of the known universe. Features choir and some brass which most of Dune doesn’t have. (The Emperor - 0:39) TRACK-BY-TRACK BREAKDOWN (In chronological order) Eclipse 0:30 - Arrakis Drums 0:45 - Tragic Noble Theme 1:02 - Vast Mystery/Wonder Chords 1:20 - Tragic Noble Theme 1:36 - Impending Doom Motif 3:00 - Arrakis Drums The Sietch 0:40 - Dune “A” Theme 1:12 - Dune Main Theme 1:24 - Dune “A” Theme 2:15 - Fate/“The One” Theme 2:22 - Arrakis Drums Water of Life 0:12 - Bene Gesserit Whispers/Chants Beginnings Are Such Delicate Times 0:00 - Arrakis Drums 0:19 - House Atreides/Paul and Chani Love Theme Harvester Attack 1:04 - Arrakis Drums 1:45 - Impending Doom Motif 3:10 - Dune “A” Theme A Time of Quiet Between Storms 0:28 - House Atreides/Paul and Chani Love Theme Worm Ride 0:03 - Arrakis Drums 0:44 - Fate/“The One” Theme 0:51 - Dune Main Theme Ornithopter Attack 0:03 - Harkonnen Screech 0:06 - Harkonnen Clang 1:30 - I don’t know what theme this is but it sounds like something from Batman lol. Each Man Is a Little War Harkonnen Arena 0:00 - Feyd Rautha Motif 0:52 - Harkonnen Screech 1:25 - Feyd Rautha Motif 4:48 - Kwisatz Haderach Motif Rhythm 5:00 - Harkonnen Screech Seduction 0:00 - Feyd Rautha Motif 0:04 - Bene Gesserit Whispers/Chants 0:50 - Bene Gesserit Seduction Theme Spice Never Lose Me 0:09 - House Atreides/Paul and Chani Love Theme Travel South 0:06 - Dune “A” Theme 0:06 - Kwisatz Haderach Motif 0:54 - Fate/“The One” Theme Paul Drinks 0:35 - House Atreides/Paul and Chani Love Theme Resurrection 0:04 - Fate/“The One” Theme 0:58 - Bene Gesserit Whispers/Chants 1:35 - Impending Doom Motif Arrival 0:00 - Kwisatz Haderach Motif 0:56 - Dune “A” Theme Southern Messiah 1:22 - Impending Doom Motif 1:42 - Bene Gesserit Whispers/Chants 2:02 - Impending Doom Motif 4:05 - Vast Mystery/Wonder Chords 4:18 - Tragic Noble Theme 4:43 - Arrakis Drums 4:46 - Impending Doom Motif The Emperor 0:39 - The Emperor’s Motif Worm Army 1:30 - Dune “A” Theme 2:14 - Bane?!? 2:32 - Dune “A” Theme Gurney Battle 0:05 - Harkonnen Screech 0:26 - House Atreides Theme 2:05 - Harkonnen Screech You Fought Well 0:01 - Dune “B” Theme 0:12 - Kwisatz Haderach Motif 0:48 - Dune “B” Theme 0:48 - Kwisatz Haderach Motif Kiss the Ring 0:33 - House Atreides/Paul and Chani Love Theme Only I Will Remain End credits track. The ending with the Vast Mystery/Wonder Chords is very ominous. It’s foreboding for a reason considering what’s to come… 0:00 - House Atreides/Paul and Chani Love Theme 3:42 - Arrakis Drums 3:54 - Tragic Noble Theme 5:29 - Vast Mystery/Wonder Chords Lisan al Gaib Bonus track with the main two themes of Dune. 0:00 - Fate/“The One” Theme 0:05 - Arrakis Drums 2:30 - Dune “B” Theme 4:09 - Dune Main Theme 6:11 - Arrakis Drums Correct me on any mistakes I made and I hope you enjoyed the post.

  7. The oscars are a farce. Who gives a damn sh.t? Invitations from the leading orchestras are much more important than all this academy awards bs. I doubt the Oppenheimer composer will ever conduct the Berlin Philharmonic (does he even conduct himself?).

  9. I'd say each score has their "hits". 1. This Is Berk Forbidden Friendship See You Tomorrow Test Drive Romantic Flight Where's Hiccup Coming Back Around 2. Dragon Racing Flying With Mother Battle Of The Bewliderbeasts Hiccup Confronts Drago Stoick's Ship Toothless Found Two New Alphas 3. Legend Has It Exodus! Third Date Furies In Love The Hidden World Armada Battle Once There Were Dragons But honestly. What I feel is so cool and strong about these score is that Powell makes sure that something interesting is happening all the time. Be it big brass statements, sweeping strings, dancing woodwinds, percussion going nuts, choir singing for if their lives depended on it or even the quieter pizzicato or percussion or the solo harp or pianos. I could listen to all 3 scores in a row (OST or deluxe) and not be distracted by anything else. Powell grabs your fullest attention and doesn't let you go until he means to.

  14. A magical evening with the Maestro! I’m sooooo glad he did the second half of the concert instead - hearing him introduce his own iconic pieces and conduct them himself just can’t be beat! Williams was in great form, telling the usual funny stories with even greater humor and joy than usual (and noting that Empire is when he “put clothes on Darth Vader and Yoda” when telling the Luke-Leia-love-them story before Leia’s Theme). He also seemed more spry than the last time I saw him, walking much more quickly and easily and even bending down multiple times to pick up his massive score books. At one point, his baton even fell to the ground and he was about to pick it up himself before a cellist did for him. Needless to say, Yo-Yo Ma was brilliant during the Concerto and Schindler’s List Theme in the first half, but the second half with Williams himself stole the show, and the energy of the audience alone demonstrated that. The second half encores were Helena’s Theme, Star Wars Main Title Suite, and Imperial March. So, no surprises this time, but still a wonderful concert full of classics and amazing energy from both Williams and his audience. My only “critiques” would be that beyond Williams coming out before and after Schindler’s to bow with Yo-Yo Ma, there was no other interaction between them, and you’d have expected Williams to conduct Yo-Yo at some point given their double headline spots in the concert. And additionally, Williams’ security needs to chill a bit. A kid who couldn’t have been older than 14 walked up to the stage with a CD and sharpie in hand towards the end of the concert when Williams was exiting, and a security guard standing stage right began motioning to the kid to leave and ultimately came down to tell him to go away. Let’s not forget Williams used to come out the stage door after Boston shows and greet everyone. I know eBay scalpers ruined that, and now Williams is up in age, but for security to get on a kid’s ass just because he was holding a CD was sad. Not necessarily Williams’ fault, of course, and also not surprising since Williams hasn’t signed for people in years, but it definitely showed how times have changed. Anyway, looking forward to experiencing this wonderful program again at the legendary Carnegie Hall in a couple days! Hopefully Williams does the second half there, too. It really enhanced the entire evening. Tonight was my 30th time seeing him conduct live, and I certainly hope there will be many more ahead! My pics from the evening:

  15. Breaking just now... The Supreme Court on Saturday agreed to decide whether the love theme "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" can also act as a representation for House Atreides. In a one-page unsigned order, the justices ordered a federal appeals court to continue to keep on hold the distribution of the Dune: Part One sketchbook album in order to mitigate the possibility of evidence tempering. Composer Hans Zimmer dismissed the case, arguing that he has Oscar immunity, and cannot be persecuted for musical abstraction, a crime that carries up to 20 years in Clemmensen asylum. "I hate to call it a love theme," he added, "because it is so much more." He has yet to explain what "more" means. His assistant composer Steve Mazzaro emotionally urged the court to drop the case pleading that "Love is universal and can represent all things." Source: Deadline

  16. On episode 63 of The Best Song Podcast, I discuss the stories behind the creation of the five songs nominated for the 1995 Original Song Oscar. That includes "Moonlight" from the remake of Sabrina, a song written by John Williams and Alan & Marilyn Bergman. For all three of them, this would be their final Oscar nominations in the original song category. I covered this film in episode 77 of The Baton, but it would be great for you to hear the song stacked up with its Oscar competition, and celebrate John Williams' final original song nomination. Competition was tough for this Oscar, though Disney went all-in for Alan Menken's chance to win a fourth Oscar for original song with "Colors of the Wind," and Bryan Adams had a #1 hit song with "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman." While the five nominees are great, you'll hear some songs that failed to get nominated, including a very popular song by Whitney Houston.

  17. One of the main reasons why I love John Powell’s work is because his music has the same raw energy that the music of Williams and Goldsmith has. His melodies are great, but the sheer force he utilizes the orchestra with, that blows the world’s head off, is what truly captivates me. It’s this kind of music that makes me fall in love with film music and symphonic music in general over and over again.

  18. 5 things I loved in this article: Williams confirms the Jaws theme is three different notes (not two!). He keeps a poster of The Adventures of Robin Hood in his office doorway. Like many others, the author feels that film music succeeding in the concert hall is largely because of Williams. Mangold got emotional at the final Dial of Destiny session because he felt Williams doing his job confirmed a kind of idealism of working in film. Williams will have some free composing time this year that he may want to fill "if there’s an opportunity there that I think I can fill and enjoy doing with people I will enjoy."

  20. I just stumbled on this wonderful interview with Chris Malone about the Empire Strikes Back soundtrack. He goes over a lot of what he talks about in his old pdf document and also corrects some mistakes he made. I'm only like 40 minutes into it but I've learned a ton about the exact formats that the OT scores were recorded onto, I'd highly recommend giving this a listen

  22. So awesome to hear Williams around 18:30 to praising Thomas Newman for his combination of orchestra with electronics and other elements when discussing the future of the orchestra in film music. And my goodness, is Johnny still so sharp. And hearing all those musical excerpts throughout the interview got me hyped to listen to the score again. It's just such great music.

Fucking hell it’s great reading so many positive comments in this thread and not just vacuous “they’re great” but plentiful reasons as to why they’re great and those details that make them great not just because they have good themes or are exciting or are beautiful or whatever, but an appreciation of all the craft that’s gone into them.

  26. No cameras spotted (and that is a shame, I was hoping at least for a recording on Stage+ ) but the microphones were actually visible above the stage. I'm just wondering whether they were recording the concert or just simply hanging there as permanent equipment of the hall. Source: Wiener Symphoniker fb fanpage The concert was AMAZING!!! The best AD concert I have ever been to (London 2014/Kraków 2019/Vienna 2024). I prepared a quick analysis of what tracks were used in each suite (overall almost 2h of music!) 1. Godzilla (Godzilla! / Godzilla's Victory / Back to the Ocean) - 6 min. 2. Pelléas et Mélisande - I. Comme un oiseau pourchassé - 8 min. 3. Pelléas et Mélisande - II. Ils regardent la lumière - 5,5 min. 4. Wes Anderson's Suite - Fantastic Mr. Fox (Jimmy Squirrel And Co. / High-Speed French Train / Boggis, Bunce, And Bean / Canis Lupus / Kristofferson's Theme / Stunt Expo 2004 / Great Harrowsford Square) - 9 min. 5. Wes Anderson's Suite - The Grand Budapest Hotel (Mr. Mustafa / A Prayer for Madame D & Last Will and Testament / Canto At Gabelmeister’s Peak) - 4 min. 6. Wes Anderson's Suite - The French Dispatch (Obituary) 3,5 min. 7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1: Obliviate / Sky Battle / Fireplaces Escape / Detonators / Destroying the Locket; Part 2: Statues / Broomsticks and Fire / Courtyard Apocalypse / The Tunnel / Dragon Flight / Lily’s Theme / Showdown) - 13 min. 8. The King's Speech (The King’s Speech / My Kingom, My Rules) - 4 min. 9. The Shape of Water (The Creature / Five Stars General / The Shape of Water / Spy Meeting / The Escape / Rainy Day / Watching Ruth / Elisa and Zelda / Without You / Overflow of Love) - 21 min. 10. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (Carlo's Theme / Spazzatura / The Pine Cone / Big Lies / Resurrection / Saving Geppetto / Pinocchio's Choice / Ciao Papa) - 15,5 min. 11. The Imitation Game (Carrots and Peas / Crosswords / U-Boats / Mission / Alone with Numbers / The Headmaster / End of War / The Imitation Game / Alan Turing's Legacy) 15,5 min. ENCORE 12. Girl with a Pearl Earring (Griet's Theme) - 4 min. 13. Eiffel (Valse d'Eiffel) - 3 min. What was so special about this particular concert, in my opinion? 1. Golden Hall itself, of course and the fact that he was probably the third film music composer playing there after Williams and Hisaishi. 2. Desplat played some of his recent scores like Pinocchio, French Dispatch or Eiffel, which was refreshing. I never spotted Fantastic Mr. Fox suite in concert before neither. 3. He also prepared completely new, extended suites from his trademark scores (Godzilla, Imitation Game, Shape of Water). He played almost half of the Imitation Game and Shape of Water albums (!) He usually plays the main themes from Godzilla and Imitation Game and 7- or 12- minutes long suite of The Shape of Water so he really did his best this time. 4. I think that for the first time he had a choir on the stage (not counting Hollywood in Vienna 2016 cause he was not conducting). A children choir in Fantastic Mr. Fox and at the end of "Ciao Papa" from Pinocchio gave me goosebumps. 5. He got a standing ovation and was very moved, I have never seen him like this before (and I always sit in front rows ).

  27. 1. Yes this is it for March. I think that's enough, don't you? Lol 2. This was supposed to come out for Black Friday, but we didn't get final art approval on time. Original 2023 slate we wanted HOOK TOP GUN MASK OF ZORRO TOPAZ OCTOPUSSY LALD SILENT NIGHT 3. Lots of hoops, approvals and delays to make this a reality 4. The whole Bond nonsense delayed things. This was gonna be a Valentine's Day gift to y'all, but because of Octopussy shipments being delayed we had to delay Top Gun. Shipping would have been a logistical nightmare, so we sat there for the last few weeks like Mel Gibson in Braveheart shouting out Hoooold! Hoooold! 5. All Bond orders have been shipped out by now. Top Gun will most likely start shipping later next week(and no it won't be delayed... we're sure of that) 6. Next comes the nightmare of Scarface LPs and getting those in and shipping out...that will happen after Bond. By April things will have settled down and gone back to normal with 2 new releases dropping on April 2 Thanks for all your patience and continued support.

  35. This is actually how I feel about Powell in general, and why I pretty much regard him as the modern Goldsmith. He's ALWAYS doing something interesting even in "throwaway cues" (i.e. those really just don't exist, for him). There's no tiresome repetition. He's always varying something. Yavar

  36. Just listened to the album. I have to be careful for my co-workers don't notice my tears. This score is wonderful! Loved it in 2019 and loved it again now. The OST did contain pretty much all the important stuff, but it's nice to have the complete score. It's so cool that after working on his concert and with John Williams on Solo, Powell's score for this movie is more... classical and less "Hollywood-like". I hope he never loses this on his future scores!

  37. I personally always enjoy when an orchestra is pushed to its limits. Overwhelming action is definitely my favorite, as long as it's actual crafted chaos with every part of the orchestra being represented, and not just say... loud, overworked strings, brass, and percussion with ugly, loud synths. *cough*

  38. Another truly wonderful evening! Not much to add since I covered this same program in my post about the Philly concert, but Williams was again in amazing spirits, even widely smiling at the orchestra while conducting. He couldn’t remember Mark Hamill’s name, referring only to Carrie Fisher’s screen “partner”, but that’s literally my only nitpick beyond again lamenting the missed opportunity of having Williams conduct Yo-Yo Ma himself. Beyond that, nothing but great energy from the stage and the audience, and in an iconic and historic venue that Williams highly praised when he began the second half of the program (even theorizing there are ghosts in the Hall that dance and play music when it’s empty after performances). I guess for now, this is it until Tanglewood for East Coast-ers. August feels so far away, but I’m sure it’ll be here before we all know it! Until then, grateful as ever to the living legend that is Maestro John Williams for countless priceless musical memories, from the first note of the first piece to the famous “sleepy hands”, and everything in between. I mentioned in that thread that I emailed the station and they told me the concert won’t be broadcast.

  39. One interesting tidbit is that JW initially wrote three concert arrangements, before he decided to take on the entire score: one for Helena, one for the Nazis, and one for Archimedes and the dial. This seems to confirm @Jay's speculation that "Nazis" on the GEMA cue list is a concert arrangement.

If that's the case, the original concert line up included Barber's Adagio and Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony. Of course, until more info is out, they might have the recorded the concerto during the rehearsals.

  42. Other takeaways-- Hook expanded edition is selling like hotcakes and may be 80% (or more) sold out already... and MM hasn't begun working on Star Wars expansions yet. (Or maybe he has and he's really good at hiding that fact. But the way he spoke about SW as a project he'd like to work on doesn't sound prepared. I think he really hasn't been given the green light yet for that one.)
