John Powell's How To Train Your Dragon (3): The Hidden World (February 1st, 2019)

[The Illustrious Jerry 1546]

That is such an ideal birthday gift for you. 

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

I know!! It's such a crazy magical coincidence!

I only just noticed the poster with a female toothless.

 

How original. Is there nothing better these writers can come up with than a love interest?

The last two films have been brilliant, hopefully, with this being the last, they'll round the story off with the same style and care they've shown, so I'll reserve judgement on the female toothless aspect until I've seen the film.

[Holko 2319]

Toothless was supposed to be the last Night Fury, so I gess they'll restart the breed, and Hiccup will have to learn he won't be able to rely on him flying in to save him or go off flying to escape chief duties any second he desires.

First snippet of the score? (In piano mock up form of course)

[PrayodiBA 188]

^^

You beat me ! haha

 

 

Wowww, a bit too early?

The music sounds great and promising as usual, and judging by the lighthearted festive nature of it, a theme for Light Fury perhaps? ( that little variation of the Test Flight theme )

 

Well im glad the NDA this time is a bit more free-ing.

Cant wait for more!

 

[Holko 2319]

Imagine it in a Flying with Mother-like orchestration...

[Taikomochi 480]

@PrayodiBA Your post was formatted better!

[Disco Stu 6753]

In that "piano roll" format it sounds like it should be accompanying an old silent adventure movie starring Douglas Fairbanks

Heh true. Would be quite apt.

Interesting, I don't hear it as lighthearted. To me it has more of an imposing character. I am imagining trumpets for the high chords and heavy bass at the bottom, but also a lot of tambourine-style percussion to emphasise the triple meter.

 

In any case, it's definitely Powell!

That's precisely what I thought of!

[PrayodiBA 188]

Now, the orchestra mock up of that last week's tease:

 

Wow, that brass arrangement!

( in some way, it reminds me of JNH's Dinousaur )

 

Come to think of it, perhaps this is the theme for "Hidden World"?

[crumbs 4569]

Imagine how much faster JW could compose and orchestrate using software like that!

[Arpy 1803]

That choral part at the end is cut-off too soon! Wah!

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

That was mouth-watering.

Wow, I actually predicted the tambourine correctly...

 

Sounds so good, though. Will sound a bazillion times better with a studio orchestra.😍

[publicist 2701]

The collaboration with Williams seems to bear further fruits...

[crumbs 4569]

Gosh that sounds marvellous. Powell just goes from strength to strength.

 

I'd be surprised if he doesn't work with Spielberg soon, because Spielberg was surely impressed with the score for Solo (although once Williams finishes SW IX, I guess he won't have any excuses to not score Spielberg's films!)

[Loert 1511]

Those ascending strings...😍

[Faleel J.M. 1498]

 

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

Not going to watch it as I already know I want to see the movie and don't need a trailer to persuade me any further.  

[scallenger 168]

Yeah, oddly none of the trailers for these movies ever look that great, but the movies themselves are always practically animated masterpieces. So, since I wasn't a fan of this film's trailers either, it's probably going to be the best one.

I saw the first one by accident.  But the trailers for the second had me super excited.  (Even if they were stupendously spoiler-y.)

 

I admit, this one has me excited just because it's a Dragons movie.  

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

Either gimme more sound samples or stop posting in this thread, ya bunch of ninnies! It gives me false hope!

Well, the first one's good. I can't honestly say that this one looks like my kind of movie, but both of the existing scores are among my all time favorites, so I'll definitely check out the album if nothing else.

[Faleel J.M. 1498]

This might make @TGP happy:

 

 

[KK 2003]

 

That's definitely an interesting update!

[Disco Stu 6753]

That's cool as hell

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

 

"editing How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’s soundtrack album this week! "🎶🎺😎

[PrayodiBA 188]

Oh....my.....god...........

 

 

The grandeur kills me.

 

That opening tunes though...♥️, pure Powellian beauty

[Disco Stu 6753]

Holy crap.

 

 

That's awesome.

[Incanus 4500]

Pretty awesome indeed.

[Disco Stu 6753]

I mean, wow John.  Wow.

[PrayodiBA 188]

^^

Well, isnt that the real actual orchestra? 

[KK 2003]

Fantastic stuff. Can't wait for the whole thing!

I edited out my flub.  Sorry.  I didn't realize this score had been recorded.

[Koray Savas 1187]

It’s alright. 

[Disco Stu 6753]

I'm guessing this is the Test Drive/Flying with Mother of this score.

 

NO ONE else sounds like this.  It's pure Powell and I love it.

[Arpy 1803]

I can already hear a bit of Solo

[Holko 2319]

Powell really has his own voice.

 

This bit is absolutely lovely.

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

Ow, my heart.

[Loert 1511]

😍

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

I have a sickening feeling this one's gonna be the best of them all, though I imagine such optimism and high expectations will elicit only rolling eyes around here.

Still, Solo is one of those cases where I had high expectations and they were somehow surpassed!

[Richard Penna 809]

That clip is awesome.

 

and 0:17 to 0:30 ..... scoregasm. The theme after that bit is a little less amazing but I find a lot of Powell tunes see a little simple at first.

[Warrior of Wet Dreams 1507]

Do ya suppose it's the Light Fury's theme?
