Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 This incredibly brief section of the third of Ravel's "Valses Nobles et Sentimentales" 3:58 - 4:05 Where it suddenly gets rich and deep and warm. The orchestral arrangement just doesn't capture that same tone at all. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 For many years I thought the throbbing drone that accompanies the title card was a synth (maybe a Serge Modular), but it turns out to be a bow chime--a member of sculptor/musician Bob Rutman's family of steel cellos--ablate pitch-shifted down a major 3rd. I also love the way Goldenthal caps it off with that triplet 'ribbit' figure on a stemless harmon-muted trombone, with the player's hand slowly opening and closing the bell for a quasi-filter effect. Sort of related to what Corigliano achieved with the overtone glissandi in his Pied Piper Fantasy. There's so many other beautifully realized moments here, like the first statement of a theme I call 'Death and Transmogrification' (huge statement at 3:48) with a setting of dona nobis pacem (grant us peace) from the Agnus Dei at 2:11 for treble chorus. How stunning is that descant line (mensuration canon at the 6th) at 2:31, and the way both lines together form a full hexatonic collection? God I love this score.

It would be more stunning if it actually were only a full hexatonic collection, because Goldenthal inserts a G natural around 2:34 which for me throws the whole thing off. I don't know if he did it to add colour, if a singer is out of tune, or what... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 It's real shame that Rutman hasn't joined the sample library gravy train. Perhaps he's a little protective of his creations. 2 hours ago, Loert said: It would be more stunning if it actually were only a full hexatonic collection, because Goldenthal inserts a G natural around 2:34 which for me throws the whole thing off. I don't know if he did it to add colour, if a singer is out of tune, or what... Hmmm, strange. I don't hear a G natural anywhere--just a slightly sharp Gb. It's the same line (Bb>A>F>Gb>F>Db) as before. I forgive them. They're only kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I hear it as BWWWOOOOM. That percussion that comes in at that moment is also stupendous! I like putting Battles/Over the Falls/Rescues together as one big splendid 8-minute action cue. And then I title the cue "Prehistoric Perils". Because I'm cute.

Loert 2,511 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 John Powell is great at scoring third-act-style action sequences. The last few days I have been listening to Pan and I can't get enough of the 18-minute section from "Flying Ship Fight" to "Fetching the Boys", though I think his best example of this is the finale of Horton Hears A Who.
