Popular Post Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted June 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2016 8:21 to 8:33 from the finale to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Really love how Williams chooses to abandon tradition so as to throw us for a loop with this unexpected yet awesome thematic variation. One of the highlight moments of the score for me. Also seemingly has the effect of making Indy's theme come across as more powerful when it actually does get to be played normally following the variation. artguy360, Disco Stu and Loert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loert 2,511 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I used to find that moment a bit cringe-inducing and forced (especially the modulation from ~8:32) but after more listens I ended up quite liking it. It is basically a musical prank, a bit of light-hearted fun, playing with the audience's expectations. And I appreciate Williams all the more for doing something different and taking a "risk" with that bit instead of simply recycling the end of the end credits from the first three films.

artguy360 1,843 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 That short musical moment in the KOTCS score was the only part of the entire score that sounded fresh or inventive in the way I was hoping the entire score would.

Popular Post Loert 2,511 Posted June 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2016 10 hours ago, Will said: Unrelated, but what is the music in your signature? I call it "The Johnny Snarl" - Williams likes to use that phrase, and variations on it, whenever something menacing or scary happens on screen. It's almost always played by the brass (often by the trombone). In terms of basic musical elements, it consists of a sustained crescendo followed by a series of short, punctuating notes. If we take HP1 for instance: 2:24 - You can hear the kind of crescendo -> "stabbing" pattern I'm talking about. The Voldemort(?) motif at 2:45 also resembles that pattern (without the initial crescendo). The bit in my signature is actually derived from KOTCS, "The Catacombs": Your browser does not support the audio element. 1:04 and 1:20 Will, Cerebral Cortex and DarthDementous 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B indeed. The series is Bb -> Ab -> C, then C -> F#, F# -> Eb and then Eb -> B. It's basically a mixture of chords separated by a minor/major third and a tritone which lends this passage its very colorful sound.
