Jilal 569 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 As we all know, mini-fanfares are scattered all across John's scores. Now which one is your favorite?Mine:the ones in the second part of "Dueling the Basilisk" from Chamber of Secrets, starting at 3:48, the fanfare at 3:51 in "The Basket Game" and the fanfare at 0:45 in "Desert Chase" from Raiders.Also the fanfare at 3:29 of Enter Lord Vader from ROTS.And of course, Jabba Introduction/Start Your Engines from TPM.

movied 24 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 :46 seconds in The Land Race is a mini fanfare, but it does involve the main theme. Or I suppose we could count the copied section in The American Journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTR1701 59 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The fanfare at the end of "Never-Feast' from HOOK is great.My all-time favorites are from EMPIRE STRIKES BACK -- the one at 10:37-11:00 in the Battle of Hoth (when Luke ropes up and destroys the AT-AT with a grenade) and the one at 2:25-2:54 in Clash of the Lightsabers.

I still can't believe he made that into an actual theme - the man has written plenty of little throwaway moments that are far more memorable and enjoyable.

Delorean90 42 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 About 11:28 of "Carbon Freeze/Darth Vader's Trap/Departure of Boba Fett," the little fanfare for Luke's comeback in the unused section is quite nice.EDIT: Ooh! 3:14 of "Short Round Helps"!

That's sort of a mini-mini-fanfare.That reminds me, in the liner notes for some CD the author claimed that at the point where the ship leaves a rainbow in the sky (during this fanfare, if I remember correctly), Williams references "Over the Rainbow."

SF1_freeze 131 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The best of the best is the moment of blissful joy, excitement and adventure when Luke talks to Dack when they are about to enter the Snowspeeder right before the Battle of Hoth. This is a perfect moment, a perfect musical transcription of the joyful, youthful excitement the characters share in that scene. It doesnt get better than that!Enjoy the best Williams fanfare from 3:34 (and with the just fanfare from 03:44) till 04:00 in "The Battle of Hoth"! Moments like that in an regardless of those superhuman score make "The Empire Strikes Back" the best score of John Williams whole career.There is also another fanfare in Space Camp that is among Williams best: Listen to "White Sands" from 06:10 till 06:30Also check out : Far and Away; The Big Match 03:16 till 03:24And then there is the fabulous Rebel Fleet fanfare from RotJ: 08:29-08:40 in The Death of Yoda/Obi Wan's RevelationOther favorites have already been mentioned like the Victory fanfare from RotJ, the Sword Fight from Hook, the British Troops motif from ToD or the New York fanfare from Home Alone 2, the Asteroid motif or Boba Fett's sinister brass fanfare...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wait, has Desert Chase when the car goes off the cliff been mentioned? Awesome. They even used that in the trailer when the title comes up. I first saw that in line for The Great Movie Ride at Disney.I wouldn't have mentioned the snowspeeder departure fanfare because it's a reworking of Luke's theme. But it's still incredibly, remarkably wonderful. I prefer it on the Anthology with a proper ending and not segueing immediately into Battle in the Snow.
