TownerFan 4,983 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Steven Allan Fox, conductor and music director of the GSPO, has posted this on the FSM boards:We had the first rehearsal for the concert last night. The published version of Dartmoor 1912, which we are proud to be premiering, is beautiful. Another superb Williams creation.If there wouldn't be an ocean of distance, I'd be the first in line at this concert I think these kind of events should receive full support from fans who live in the area.

tannhauser 101 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wonder if this concert version of Dartmoor is much expanded upon or pretty much the same as the original track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfilmmusic 0 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Dartmoor 1912 is extended. It is actually over 6 minutes long while the track is just over 3 minutes. You don't want to miss this great premiere of the published version of music from the film for the concert stage you haven't heard.Maestro Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really love to hear it! I wonder if this could be part of a larger suite structured in several movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfilmmusic 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Cecilia Tsan is terrific on Saruyis Theme. So appreciative JW was willing to loan us the music so she could perform this solo. The Dartmoor 1912 published version is awesome. You have never heard it. Brand new and different then the soundtrack. Hope to see lots of you this Saturday at the show.

KingPin 201 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 John Williams conducted a piece form War Horse with the YMF Debut Orchestra this past January. I wonder if it was the same version as the newly published score (I'm venturing a guess that you're conducting from a Signature Edition score, which has recently made its way into print courtesy of Hal Leonard Corporation).
