Popular Post Tom 4,653 Posted August 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2016 My guess is most members do not know this is available. As Bespin noted in the Tanglewood thread, it can be found here: https://www.bso.org/mediacenter It was performed during the Tanglewood on Parade concert.

Alex 2,835 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Really enjoyed this, loved the way he fleshed out all the themes, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I said this in the thread where this suite was originally posted, but quite notably and unfortunately Williams does not include a single statement of the BFG's theme (the one referred to as "BFG/Sophie Friendship Theme" in Jay's list) in the suite. He did include it in the film's end credits arrangement (Sophie and the BFG), near the middle IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 907 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks! For some reason I thought the concert was a few days ago, so I was just looking at the most recent concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igger6 894 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I haven't found myself returning to very many individual cues from this score (granted, it's barely been six weeks), but I already love this suite to death, in either of its musical isotopes (OST or Pops). While The BFG's themes may not be vibrant enough to launch it into the company of his more substantial and memorable fantasy scores, I honestly think this suite, on its own terms, is a masterpiece. If it had been written as an eight-minute accompaniment for the book, it would be universally acclaimed. Nemesis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurkensalat 340 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Nice Recording. Blut Not so Different from the End Credit Suite on CD, only subtle changes I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,653 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Many of the changes go well beyond subtle: different orchestrations, fairly extensive extension of the second thematic movement, elimination of the one the OST themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extension of the giant country material? Huh, I hadn't noticed that. Yes, the elimination of what I call the BFG's theme was quite a bummer. Oh, and I haven't seen this mentioned here yet but the Sophie's theme bit at the very beginning of the Dream Country segment sounds different to me from the OST version.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 That re-arrangement of the opening is still my everything. They should play the main theme on a loop over the speaker system at Magic Kingdom. It's very, well, magical and just feels like Disney music is supposed to feel. Anyhoo.

Marcus 390 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 What a wonderful suite! Some lovely extensions, and a beautiful presentation of what I find to be truly endearing thematic material, and simply a masterful score. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Is it me, or is there a microscopic quote of a riff from "Snowy's Theme" followed immediately by a microscopic quote of a riff from "Dry Your Tears, Afrika" late in this suite? I think it's a moment that's not on the OST, and if you listen to the giant MP3 from Tanglewood, it starts around the 1:23:06 mark. Not intentional, obviously, but does anybody hear the snatches I'm talking about? Maybe I need a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
