Jay 37,322 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That is simply a variant of Summon The Heroes that a JWFanner noticed for the first time on a temporary channel set up for Olympic basketball games. It was not music written FOR basketball at all. There was another one we found for the first time on the Olympic soccer channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,322 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Edited portions of them were first used as bumpers for coverage of the 2004 Olympic games, so probably then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Oh, I just realized it was so stupid of me to even suggest that it could have been written in the 80s ... since Summon the Heroes wasn't written until 1996! So it had to have been after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,322 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Again, we're pretty sure they were new arrangements recorded in 2004, or maybe 2003 in preparation for the 2004 games Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 My guess it will be a general Americana approach but with a lot of jazz progressions (and maybe even some instrumentation) thrown in there in its more pure Williams style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 When an old artist (85 yo in this case) is asked by a younger person to collaborate on a new "little" project like this, two things can happen: a very conservative general thing, perhaps even a parody of an ancient work, or, on another hand, a very innovative thing, done in tight collaboration with the young artist, especially created for him. Of course I hope for the second choice... but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Disney used to track a lot of JW into their movies (particularly during the time Glen worked over there) so I think we can expect great things for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,272 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 That's pretty cool, do you remember any specific examples or sources for that?

Popular Post Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted March 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2017 We know that they really wanted him to score Treasure Planet and the even tracked the hell out of the film with his music, like Far and Away, Superman, Hook and more... Schedule didn't allow for it, but you can still hear a lot of influence in Howard's lovely score. And apparently he was also supposed to score The Black Cauldron, but that didn't go anywhere as well. I don't know the specifics but I recall Tangled -produced by Keane- was temped with some Williams here and there; and the workprint of The Lion King shows they temp-tracked some of his music in there, particulary the pan flute sections of Far and Away. Outside of Disney, but still with Disney allumni, Brad Bird was very eager to get Johnny for The Iron Giant, tracked with some of his music but mostly Herrmann. We got a fantastic score with Kamen, but the mind still wonders... And I do know from interviews that Don Bluth's Secret of NIMH was tracked specifically with sections from Close Encounters. I'm sure there's more info floating around, but that's what I can recall at the moment. Once, Cerebral Cortex and mrbellamy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Didn't know that about The Iron Giant! It is rather funny to think that this is the closest he'll probably get to scoring a Disney cartoon. And BFG sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
