Jay 37,305 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm hoping it comes to New England eventually! Seems like I should have made the effort to go down to Philadelphia in June for it. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 While not my favourite 21st century score, it is probably the most perfect candidate for this kind of a performance. The music is very prominent and very upfront, and it flows nicely. Definitely something to witness. Karol Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,305 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yes, out of all posible live to projection concerts, this one really has it in the cards to be the most sucessful one, for all the reasons you mentioned plus the popularity of the movie. My wife really wants to go, for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If Williams wasn't a lazy guy, he'd write new music for these scenes in the live to projection concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but some of the tracked cues - especially the one when Harry enters the chamber - have so many layers that it would be a better performance overall if they used one or two long selections.

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'd rather he re-wrote HP5 and 6 in that case. How in the world can you make these interesting in concert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,305 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The first four films (and their scores) are much more loved by general audiences than the latter four. I suspect the concerts for the latter four will make considerably less money than those of the original four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few very good cues in HP6 that stand out when looking at the series's music as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,338 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sure, but as a concert experience, they're so unchallenging. I mean, listen to Dumbledore, Trial, and half of HP6... Would they even rehearse for those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the concerts for the latter four will make considerably less money than those of the original four. I think there'll be a steady drop in general after the first one. Well, I could see Azkaban and/or Goblet getting more attendance than Chamber of Secrets. But I agree that the first four scores would obviously generate more interest for a big concert experience. As far as the films go, from what I can tell Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is also one of the most well-received by audiences so I think purely as a film re-release people would be interested in seeing the finale again, but I don't imagine that many people especially rushing to hear the music live. I guess a little more than 5-7, but even for Harry Potter fans who love Dragon Flight and Statues/Courtyard Apocalypse the biggest incentive would probably still be the chance to hear Leaving Hogwarts at the end. What I would be interested for the Yates films is if they fill them out more with unused material, alternates (like the slightly more "concert-friendly" OST version of Ron Leaves), or even if Hooper or Desplat write additional music for things like Dumbledore vs Voldemort or the King's Cross afterlife.

Jay 37,305 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 In general these live concerts seem to match the final film edits very closely. The Two Towers is the only one I've seen that really featured a lot of unused stuff put back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The Return of the King as well. The music almost never stops in this one. It's great for us fans but felt a bit too much for the film. They often seem to change bits and pieces. The Matrix ending being restored and having an end credits medley instead of songs.
