Popular Post toothless 963 Posted April 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi everyone, This is my first post but I'm not realy new to this forum as I follow some thread regularly. I had the opportunity to go to a Tribute concert tonight and It's been recorded live. I thought I'd share the link with you guys ! PS: Head over to the end for a truly great rendition of Rey's theme ! It wasn't planned at all and was a surprise to everyone as this tribute concert was about the music of JW in Spielberg's movies. http://culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/live/musique/musique-classique/concert-hommage-a-john-williams-au-grand-rex-238619 Bespin, Marc, Ricard and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justaguy 68 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thank you so much, toothless. So far I have listened to Rey's Theme and it sounded great - at the end of the rendition I started to wonder "What is happening?" when the crescendo appeared, and then it morphed into short statement of a theme from Harry Potter - pretty unexpected! I will surely check the rest of the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yeah sounds like the end of "Leaving Hogwarts" was tacked on to Rey's theme which was a bit strange, especially as none of the Potter music was in the rest of the concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Likely a nod to the similarities between Rey's Theme and the general Harry Potter sound (which I still don't hear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaguy 68 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 You have to admit that Potter bit has that "It's over, ladies and gentleman!" quality to it - I would say it's more of a coincidence rather than a nod to similarities (which I also don't hear).

I always enjoy the rare opportunities to hear John Williams's music played by ensembles from different countries; whether real or imagined, I like to think that the natural characteristics of the musicians come through in the music sometimes. I swear I can hear Berlioz in The Lost World all of a sudden! I never knew that the French name for Short Round was Half Moon (Demi-Lune). Also nice to see another John Williams fan called Damien presenting! Miguel Andrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,472 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Great program! Anything goes to begin... gotcha! The presenter just said they choose the program in function of their childood memories. Really? Instant wet eyes... Geez I'm too sentimental.... or is it the white wine? And what a great idea to present each piece visually on the big screen "à la Indiana Jones". Chapeau!

zoltan_902 141 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Rey's Theme was very impressive, and I was equally bewildered by the Harry Potter quote at the end. What REALLY had my jaw on the floor was the brass section in The Lost World. They absolutely nailed that. Come to think it, they nailed pretty much everything - if not let down by the sound mix. The clarinet in Viktor's Theme was the best performance since the official soundtrack itself and admirably avoided an amateurish 'squeaks'. justaguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I have watched this many times, what a brilliant program. Very well played. The program is pretty hard(or is this broadcast tailored from two concerts?) To have a mic for every instrument is not the best option but it somehow works with film music. It works fine for this tv show but I'm interested how it would be listening experience in the audience. Probably fine. (Everyone should hear these also natural) Other observation was that it must best lighter to perform this kind of heavy program with the microphones, you never need to give the the strongest effort to beat the whole orchestra what is sometimes needed in the lets say in the brass section. But after that I really liked the performance, I did post it to my friends. Good start for an adventure in the world of Spielberg/Williams!!!

So far I've only listened live to this concert, the Zimmer show and the Lord of the ring (2) live performance by the 21st century symphony orchestra. But, I already have my tickets for The Lord of the ring Trilogy, John williams strikes back, and James Newton Howard concert.

crumbs 14,287 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Geez, that performance of The Lost World was a bloody ripper! Such a lively performance, completely reinvigorated my love of that score. Did Williams ever record that concert suite during the sessions? Or is there a performance of him conducting the concert version online anywhere? Far superior to the album version in my opinion.

Bowie 45 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Absolutely fabulous. You could tell these young people care about that music, because it was obviously very well practiced and rehearsed, and in some parts better than any world famous orchestra. The first violinist's Schindler's List performance was an exception among exceptional. My biggest complaint, if I can come up with one, was that The Lost World was probably too fast, which lent the piece great energy, but some intricate rhythms and motifs were swept a little under the rug by rushed players. toothless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothless 963 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 If The Lost World is too fast (I must admit I'm not familiar with this piece), I have to say The Adventures Of Mutt is a little too slow for me .

But that's if I have to find a complaint The Lost World Theme (the album version especially) is absolutely a top tier Williams composition. It is not only exhilarating from start to finish, thanks to the tribal percussion beats and dark string and brass timbres, but is filled to the brim with ingenious other-worldly rhythmic melodies. It is I think one of the first and prime examples of Williams pairing a more broadly sweeping longer-note melody (in this case, the minor-key theme that is uniquely harmonised solely with major chords), with a more rhythmic counter-theme (the rapid, modal motif, which in a way is actually a sped up version of the longer melody), over the timpani/bass ostinato. Rey's Theme interestingly has a similar structure (although the rhythmic counter-theme doubles as an ostinato, and he instead throws in a second counter-theme for added variety... both of which build on top of each other before the real melody kicks in). Williams is quite deft at weaving ostinati in and out (e.g. Superman, Jaws) but after The Lost World theme, he really went all out with competing melodic contours. toothless and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
