crumbs 14,317 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If only he could surprise us with a cue from TLJ! He must be itching to start performing his new pieces (especially if he's one-upped Rey's Theme and the other TFA arrangements). Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, wow, that's awesome that Dear Basketball is going live to projection, even for a few nights. Somehow I never really expected him to perform it in concerts given how low-key the release was!

Popular Post karelm 2,914 Posted August 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2017 I just got back from the rehearsal. A really good program. Spoiler First of all, you won't believe it but he didn't wear a black turtleneck. Too hot today. He wore a navy polo and trousers. Johnny looked great, healthy and as invigorated as ten years ago at the bowl. Lots of stamina. The orchestra just adores him. During the break, he was surrounded by beaming orchestra players who wanted to give him a hug or take a picture. These usually jaded musicians were star struck. There were a few pieces I didn't recognize so some from his films that are not the standard fare with some standards to keep everyone else happy but the ratio was about 50/50 old with new. The Koybe Bryant piece was very sweet. It reminded me of Cadillac of the Skies without chorus with a solemn build up to inspiring and moving climax. Very Williamsy. More... Spoiler Some music includes Aunt Marge's Waltz from Prisoner of Azhaban which was great fun to hear live. Harry's wondrous world, Close Encounters, Adventures of Mutt, Scherzo for X-wings, Rey's Theme, Sabrina, Throne Room and End Titles (probably encore), Basketball, and a few I couldn't place. crumbs, Disco Stu, Jay and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Would be cool if someone recorded one of the Dear Basketball performances.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm guessing it's nothing too spectacular but it might have a nice coda or something. Still curious, I quite like the DB piece. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, I would put it at a 2% chance. But, since many members of this orchestra participated in the sessions (I assume, anyway), I would put it at a 4% chance. Plus 4 ties into Force Friday better. It seems like free marketing to premiere a piece in such a way, but Disney has its own geniuses making such decisions. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karelm 2,914 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 2 hours ago, crumbs said: @karelm Music you couldn't place? TLJ sneak preview?? We can dream... Sorry, what I meant was more like it was JW music off the beaten path. It sounded familiar so I know I heard it before but didn't recall what from. The person in front of me asked, "is this Harry Potter" and I thought I think so but realized later it never used the themes so I doubted it was Harry Potter. That is what I mean. It was the sort of stuff like we all know the stuff that is "oh that is the Imperial March", etc that we all would know immediately. So you'll get some very familiar things and some that are less familiar though vintage. There was certainly not anything from TLJ. 2 hours ago, crumbs said: @karelm Music you couldn't place? TLJ sneak preview?? We can dream... Another thing, in the rehearsal, JW is 200% focused on performance. What he might say during the show could differ from what he said in the rehearsal. Rehearsal talk was about orchestral balance, phrasing, etc. He said "I want to play the first few bars of the Throne Room". They literally played about 10 seconds and he cut them off and he said "good, I said only the first few bars so now next cue". to give you an idea. He read through Sabrina twice and the second time said "play it twice as charming". He used the least amount of words to make the most about of difference.
