indy4 155 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 These are rarely worth an entire thread, so from now on we can just post them here. Earlier today on NPR they were talking about a book about slavery, and they played a little of "Cinque's Theme" from Amistad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,319 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Marcy and I watched "Yes Man" last weekend, and being a WB movie it was filled with references to other WB movies including Harry Potter, and they used his actual underscore in a scene where they watch the films (and he was credited for it in the end credits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in AP World History, Junior year of high school (I remember this clearly lol). We were all taking a test so it was quiet, and I start to hear "On Earth As It Is In Heaven" ever so faintly. I looked around to see if anyone noticed, and no one had. It kept playing and playing and I was sure I was insane. Until I realized it was coming from the classroom next door, the history class there was watching The Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an incredible night, for me, my boyfriend and substance abuse LOL Approximately 1999-2000 I was in Club 051 in Liverpool at 1am when suddenly I heard snares being mixed into to the current trance track. I was off my face on bacardi and ecstasy, there was about ten of us out together, boys and girls. When the melody eventually kicked in I was absolutely elated by what I heard! I remember a couple of friends coming over to me on the dance floor and shouting into my ear, "it's John Williams, Lee! Ha ha ha!"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDxJg7zv_og&sns=emHeh, it sounds really shit nearly fifteen years later, but the whole club was bouncing to it in that moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eitam 364 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Earlier this year I went to Vienna, and more specifically to the Vienna Philharmonic Museum in the Haus der Musik. It's a whole floor dedicated to the memories of the orchestra and its historic conductors (Furtwängler, Karajan & co.); and the very first music I heard there was the Main Theme from Star Wars.Biggest moment in my JW fandom.

eitam 364 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Exactly. They were playing of the 2010 Summer Night Concert in the next room when I entered the place. Star Wars played by the Wiener Philharmoniker in Schönbrunn gardens was not really what I had come to expect from Vienna’s musical culture.

Marian Schedenig 8,176 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 It should be expectable (is that a word?) - after all, one could argue that Vienna is the origin of symphonic Holywood music, and not just because of Korngold and Steiner. Sadly, this legacy has mostly been neglected, though things have improved a little over the last few years.I'd been waiting for some 15 years for the Vienna Philharmonic to play music from Star Wars. When they finally did, most people I know who care about music in any way were there, and some who don't (the Summer Night Concerts are free). Except for me - I was on a plane returning from a business trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Not John Williams, but I've been hearing Hans Zimmer everywhere. First, in the beginning of CNN's coverage of the Democratic National Convention there was an almost note-for-note rip of the love theme from PotC: At World's End. Then I was watching Pawn Stars and they used the two note Batman motif over synth percussion loops that was VERY clearly a Batman rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russds 8 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I've heard Batman Begins and Michael Clayton in Dateline specials before. They feel so out of place but I guess to the average NBC viewer its just synth droning.Ha, i saw the same thing i think. It was a dateline special and clearly had the batman begins score used. I thought it looked terribly out of place, because it was much more dramatic and movie-esque than the footage they were showing. I put this in the youtube clip thread, but thought I would put it here too. As a ToD score nut, this was like finding gold for me: It's interesting because it's not the original recording. It's a real orchestra playing the ToD score, re-recorded with subtle (and not so subtle) differences. For any ToD score fan, this is a real treat.
