Thanks for posting this video. For whatever reason I hadn't listened to any of War Horse in a while, and just checking out this great action cue for the first time in a while really hit me nicely. What a cool cue in a wonderful score! Martinland, Bellosh and Once 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I always assumed they were Irish Uilleann bagpipes which would be JW hinting at Kennedy's Irish heritage. I can't really tell the difference between Irish pipes and Scottish ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,393 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I just mentioned this cue on the other thread and now I had to listen to it again. The movie is a beloved childhood favorite and that scene always made me emotional when I was a kid due to JW's magnificent music. It's criminal that he left such a wonderful cue out of the OST. bored and Bellosh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this film is a nice bookend to CEOTTK with its Pinocchio overtones. In that film, Roy wished to be an eternal child despite his adult responsibilities. Here, David is literally an eternal child because he was built that way though wished to be real and grow. I thought the score was a real departure and full of unrequited longing.

Popular Post Schilkeman 955 Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 Mickey-mousing is a sometimes derided art, but it requires all the timing and craft of a composer and a comedian. A favorite bit of mine from TPM Such a fluid, rounded sound from the horns here. This era of LSO is one of the greatest horn sections of all time, and this score is full of great writing for them. This moment is pure opera; anger and tragedy. With a great build up until the big hit at 3:30, an all-time Star Wars moment for me. Such a great build-up and use of rhythm. That brass! Maurice Murphy played orchestral trumpet like the lead in a jazz band. Needlessly complicated brass writing that kicks ass. I've always loved the flute trio that opens this suite, followed by the beautiful solo horn. An underrated theme. A nice little callback to the Rite of Spring desert music in ANH with the solo bassoon. Some great motivic writing between 3:00 and 5:00. Williams' gift is melody. His genius is transitions. The whole first minute or so of this cue is lovely, with a nice callback to the Order 66 music, and the piano chime for Rey's Theme.

LB Makes Stuff 240 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1:57 and on is soooooo beautiful. Though the most calm variations on the three themes, they’re easily the best in the entire score. I’d love to hear this live. Taikomochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB Makes Stuff 240 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Oh, one more. This cue is unavailable on any releases of the score, but it’s used twice in a row and is so good. Hopefully the next LLL expansion is this score. 910275DD-7BC9-4E07-8F47-887E2AECB70B.mov Taikomochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnaud2 10 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 One very special moment everybody knows but I think no one mentioned: the few seconds of music, less than thirty for sure, just before the Death Star explodes in Star Wars. What is it? 49 or 50 times the same note with brass written like percussions. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geom_00 36 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I haven't gotten to read all of this topic, but something for me, the answer is complicated. I'm not sure WHY I like this so much, but to me it just is a beautiful snippet of music. In Hymn to the fallen, this small snippet flutters away, but it is beautiful.
