And remember, no London Voices this time. The Hollywood Chorale really isn't up to par with that.

 

Let's not have this idiotic debate again.

Versatility, versatily, where art thou?

It really is very annoying to see people be weirdly snobbish about something they know nothing about.

Much like the criticism of Interstellar.

But clearly a chorus from London would have a completely different vocal sound to a chorus from LA, because of the different accent. Suddenly, Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah sounds more like Corn on the Kebab.

All American choirs, and others around the world, worth their salt, adopt a proper English diction while singing.  As long as it isn't the Mormons or something involved, there'll be none of that dreadful, syrupy straight American English singing.

Breaking News: John Williams hires Mormon Chorus for new Star Wars score, citing the "quality of their consonants"

[Obi 404]

OK so, i read this from someone pretenting see the movie about a "Knights of Ren's theme":

 

- Can you give me a taste of the KoR's theme? Something it's similar to, its' general tone, etc.? 

 

- Imagine if the Urak hai from the Two Towers theme and The Imperial March had a baby.

Damn, I already forgot the Knights of Ren were even a thing.

Now's the time I really have to stop visiting these Ep8 threads.

Too good to be true...

[Obi 404]

So, i promise stoping to post this kind of things!

Yeah, giving death to a grand piano with steel chains really isn't Williams' style....

Now who's being snobby!

 

Sometimes I get actively annoyed listening to certain English-language operas that are sung using "proper" diction that makes everything sound like Puccini.  All those rolled-Rs I find irritating when listening to, say, Peter Grimes because I don't think it makes sense for the setting or the characters to sound like they're in Madama Butterfly or whatever.  But yeah, I know opera's different from choral singing, and I am but a novice listener for both.
