Yeah...there are actually quite a few cues with wrong notes here and there ! Typically when the Horn section is in unison in the high register, someone is always bound to mess up a note 😛 I've heard that so many times during live concerts, even with the best orchestras ! Horn definitely is not the easiest instrument to play 🙃

Definitely one of the most fun JW cues to play 😃

Since this thread is about transcriptions I thought I'd share this video here too ! Instant goosebumps when I first heard glimpses of that theme in the very first cue...it's just gorgeous

I think Galadriel's theme is quite possibly one of the most magnificent I've ever heard in a TV show ! I just had to transcribe and record it 😀

Mother and Son truly is gorgeous... Cannot wait to see the images that go with it ! I can imagine Steven shedding a tear or two when he first heard that piece

Had a blast transcribing and recording this fantastic action cue

Fun stuff

The very end of the finale always gets me teary-eyed.. Harpsichord/harp playing Across the Stars followed by Anakin's Theme (that is one heavenly horn solo !)

One awesome opening cue ! Especially fun to play

Haha well misspelling aside, I thank you for posting that tracklist cause looking at the pieces I'd say there's a good chance he actually recorded some of my arrangements ! The Star Wars ones, Bill Conti's Mickey and Yoko Kanno's Little Sister all are covers I made in the past few years and for which I released the sheet music, and the timing of his recordings matches I need to add that Hervé is one of the horn players who inspired me when I picked up the horn so...if those are indeed my arrangements I'd say that's pretty cool

Love that last cue !

Thank you very much ! Like I said there's something really special about this theme, and playing it "with JW" makes things every more special

I usually don't start new threads for my covers but I feel this one is quite special ! Theme from Sabrina has always been one of favorite JW pieces and I recently felt like playing it on my French Horn I ended up doing a mix of the original piece and the violin version, to which I also added little woodwind lines here and there. The backing track I used is the CD version of the theme, and to make things more interesting visually I synchronized the great video of JW performing it with the Boston Pops conducted by Seiji Ozawa ! (a video originally posted and recently upscaled by my good friend @Martyprod Thanks man !!) And so there it is, hope you'll enjoy it

Some very cool cues in that score ! Like this one

Felt like adding some real horns and trumpets to this masterpiece

I thought it could be nice to add a french horn quartet to that lovely "La Vie en Rose" accordion solo part

And with these I conclude Alan's Disney Golden Era

Two more Menken Disney ending cues

Absolutely agree with everything you said ! This morning I was actually wondering if there was a "JW romantic theme" I loved more than this one (or equally) and the only one I could think of was the love theme from The Terminal. Simply singing those in my head gives me goosebumps

Well, here's the Beauty and the Beast Finale ! I think it just might be my favorite Menken cue

Gorgeous horn solo in that cue !

Last cue from Pocahontas, a true wonder for the ears !

Thank you ! All done by ear

That cue
