Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Geez. One page of semantics!! But about the Solo theme its funny that some of the "fans" are mad about Johnnys involvement.... I think that Powell is so much a fan of this legend that he is happy to work with the legend. This negativity of some members is just too much. See you in three years. ocelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his point is that it is odd that on a JW fan board, there are several people who clearly would have preferred that Williams stayed out of the project altogether and are, thus, disappointment that he did write a couple of themes.

Yep, that's my stance, beautifully described. 1 hour ago, Tom said: I think his point is that it is odd that on a JW fan board, there are several people who clearly would have preferred that Williams stayed out of the project altogether and are, thus, disappointment that he did write a couple of themes. And that's why (as I said previously) my stance may appear overly negative, when I'm simply trying to refocus on the fact that this is a Powell score first and foremost. Do I roll my eyes at the 'honorary' inclusion? To some extent yes. My opinion that this was a fan-pleasing PR move to help the film still holds (it got us talking didn't it!) 19 hours ago, King Mark said: yes, it will be the highlight of the score. Just like the composers who had the misfortune to follow JW in the harry Potter series, they have no memorable theme to speak of And for the life of me I can;t remember a single Powell theme except Chicken Run which I'm not sure he composed If you've listened to either of the HTTYD scores and still claim you can't remember a theme, you're hopeless. And don't claim (again) that you don't only listen to Williams, because if you deny memorable themes in anyone else's scores then you're clearly not listening to them.

Haha that's what it was starting to sound like It's really not an unreasonable opinion but I think the whole "PR" thing is a little cynical and condescending, like anybody who's excited about the theme is just getting duped. It's a John Williams theme! I love John Williams themes. They're great for storytelling and Powell's a great storyteller. I like how unapologetic he's been about the score being an amalgam and how excited he was about getting to mess around with the theme. Seems like he really took it as a creative opportunity and that Williams gave him that freedom. I'm down for it. When the score actually comes out there will only be so much we can say about the concert piece and the quality of the theme itself, and this entire discussion is going to completely shift to Powell and how he specifically made use of the theme, combining JW's voice and his own. But there's not much to say about it yet. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yes, I find it interesting that some if not more default to a stance of "John Powell doesn't NEED John Williams' help", with all of this news about Williams' involvement. Why would anyone assume it's a case of Williams being brought in because Powell can't handle it? Have you not enjoyed tag teaming anything with anyone before? By all accounts tag teaming seems to be the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's not much to say about it yet. That's a completely fair assessment - I agree with pretty much everything. I certainly never meant the PR argument to be condescending to those anticipating it. From a purely musical standpoint I'm not complaining for a minute about a new concert piece from Williams. mrbellamy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Dunno if it was posted previously, but in one of Powell's interviews he specifically calls the Solo theme in parts A 'Hero' and part B 'Searching' confirming what we knew from the sheet music. The way Powell describes it though is as if he named them, and perhaps not Williams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 John Williams is a well known fan of King of the Hill, actually. Huge fan. He's on the record as saying it's his favorite TV show, even the highest form of art he has ever encountered. He is known to be caught watching it all the time when he gets writer's block and needs inspiration, especially the episode where they go to Japan. In fact, it's usually that episode that he's watching. He really just likes that episode a lot... Over and over. Every single day.
