TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Nice interview with Stéphane Denève, who is conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra this week in E.T. live to projection: http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/david_patrick_stearns/20161013_ET_with_Philadelphia_Orchestra_live__Will_it_be_out_of_this_world_.html Quote "I had a chance to visit John in his home, where he showed me the cue sheets for the score . . . and it had written descriptions, almost second by second, like, 'E.T. turns to Elliott.' 'Elliott turns back to E.T.,'" says Denève. "It's fascinating how he could signal a change with just a little harmonic or rhythmic change."

nightscape94 965 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Well, I saw this last night with my pops and it was fantastic! Orchestra was perfect and well-balanced against the film, which is good since it didn't include subtitles like Harry Potter did. Applause was warm and genuine at intermission and especially at the end. Most of the time by the third re-entrance by the conductor, the audience clapping is mostly intermittent and thinned out, but not last night. They were still going strong and if the orchestra didn't get up and leave the stage at that point they would have kept on going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,287 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 These new pieces are fantastic; they fit right within the existing score and, to my ears anyway, sound like he wrote them 35 years ago! There's clearly a fondness for this score and all the leitmotifs he wrote. Curious if others feel that some of Williams' modern writing sensibilities shine through in these pieces?

nightscape94 965 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Enjoy some nonsense from an old fuddy duddy. "Conversely, I found myself thinking that the Williams score itself would be worthless without the movie. Which is true of all movies, of course. Every film depends for its success on the synergy of script, acting, direction, and music, of which no one part would be viable by itself. Sitting alone in a dark movie theater, it’s easy to suspend disbelief for two hours and allow your psyche to be blissfully manipulated. Not so easy to watch a movie in a concert hall with a live orchestra. What, then, was the point of this exercise? The answer, presumably, is to expose the orchestra and the Kimmel to potential new patrons. In this respect, last weekend’s E.T. concerts seem to have succeeded. At Saturday’s night’s performance the hall was nearly filled, yet I spotted not one of the regulars who normally attend orchestra concerts (surprisingly few kids, too). Whether these film groupies will be sufficiently uplifted to return remains to be seen. But a symphony orchestra struggling for solvency can’t be blamed for experimenting, occasionally, with a pop sensibility" http://www.broadstreetreview.com/music/e.t.-meets-the-philadelphia-orchestra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 That new ending to "Abandoned and Pursued" is amazing. It reminds of, say, the AMBLIN Logo, NBC News bumpers or the Amazing Stories act break/fade-in, in that it's extremely brief, but in the span of those 10-15 seconds or whatever it is, Williams defines himself and says and does everything, musically, that other composers could only strive to be able to do with entire scores for films.

Probably better than anything in the Home Alone or Raiders concerts, and that's saying something! Also, whereas with Home Alone and Raiders my favorite moments weren't necessarily at the very end of the film, this one works out perfectly -- I can anticipate the very best all the way until the final sequence!
