Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I haven't yet put my thoughts totally in order, but for now my general feeling is that this is exactly what I expected plus some very welcome surprises. I wouldn't at this point put it above MOS but that could change with familiarity. Naturally there will be the expected negative overreactions from people you'd think wouldn't bother in the first place. Puzzling, that. I wonder if they go to heavy metal concerts and complain that the amps are too big and noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 2 hours ago, Sharky said: That's really the Clark Kent theme, associated with his wholesome Midwestern upbringing and his essential humanity--explaining the quasi-gospel harmonisation. There's a number themes, motifs, cells and chords from MOS that carried over and developed, usually rotated in a cyclic pattern. The names are my own. Clark Kent - 0:00-1:04 in Day of the Dead. 4:31-5:29 in This is My World, 3:30-4:30 in Men Are Still Gods Love - 3:34-4:07 in Is She With You? Krypton Cluster - 1:07-37 in Day of the Dead, 5:28-38 in This is My World, 0:00-22 in Men Are Still Gods, 3:27 to the end in Blood of My Blood, 3:02 to the end in May I Help You, Mr. Wayne? Kal El - 1:13-37 in Day of the Dead, 0:58-1:17, 0:58-1:17 in Problems Up Here, 2:24-2:48, 3:08-20 and 06:38-58 in Black and Blue, 3:13-25 and 4:05 to the end in Blood of My Blood, Semitone Waver - 2:04-34 in Tuesday, 2:23-48 and 6:34-7:07 in Black and Blue, 03:39 to the end in Blood of My Blood Superman in Ascent - 1:37-58 in Day of the Dead, 5:38-6:01 in This is My World, 0:22-42 in Men Are Still Gods, Superman's Heroics - 6:01 to the end in This is My World, 0:42-1:04 in Men Are Still Gods Superman in Peril - 1:58 to the end in Day of the Dead Lara's Lullaby - 2:57-3:15 in Problems Up Here Metropolis Threnody 0:31-1:58 in This is My World Zod B Ostinato - 1:28-2:22 in Their War Here, 3:08-20 in Black and Blue Zod Impeded - 2:04-22 in Their War Here Zod Passacaglia - 1:43-49 and 3:28 to the end in Their War Here Zod's Wrath - 1:21-28 and 2:34-42 in Their War Here and 3:26-43 and 4:10-13 in Black and Blue In it's standard form, Superman in Ascent is capped by Superman's Heroics (Ab/Eb > F in block voicing)--which combines with the preceding Krypton Cluster and Kal El to form the "Superman Cycle", heard in significant moments throughout MOS. In Day of the Dead for example, it's replaced by Superman in Peril, its minor moded flip side. Generally, the Kal El and the Krypton Cluster are connected the more "alien" side to Supes, neither threatening nor benign. Zod's Wrath represents a single sonority and its derived harmonies--Cm with an added ninth and/or flat sixth. You have a new personal message batman vs superman soundtrack upbringing Great stuff.

I like the refashioning of old material and there are some promising new ideas (the Bruce Wayne piano theme, Luthor's triple-dotted note theme, the eerie 3 note trumpet call, the Goldenthal/Kronos Quartet style string figures), but the action is just senseless Sturm und Drang... Oil Rig x 10. Maybe I'll come around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah the action doesn't really have any of the catchy elements that MOS had going for it. I am already fond of the Batman theme though. Holkenborg has a really distinctive voice, much to his credit. And I'll be damned if those obviously Whitacre choral parts aren't really moving. This Is My World, I mean, finally, this guy is in Hollywood. And is that soloist Hila Plitmann? Certainly sounds like her. Or Grace Davidson? Gotta say though, I wish Whitacre were credited up front along with Holkenborg. I bet that passage is something a lot of folks will like, and I want them to know who's responsible, damn it!

KK 3,307 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Bruce Wayne's piano theme is nice. But Batman's main thematic identity is a real mixed bag. I like elements of it (the trumpet line, for one), but the bulk of it is, as Sharky mentions above, sturm-und-drang, beating you to death... Holkenborg certainly has a distinctive voice, its just not a very interesting one I'm afraid. The MoS material gets some nice development, but I wish there was more of it. Lex Luther's violin idea has potential, but seems to be underrepresented on album. The action material is clearly the weakest part of the score, which is a shame since it makes up the majority of it. Superman's theme has more warmth and life to it here than I remembered it having in MoS, but that could just be because its grown on me over time.
