Disco Stu 6720 Report post Posted August 8 It’s a movie based on one of the most famous and popular pieces of classical music in history, the story is presumably heavily built around the score, and it is conducted by probably the most famous current director of a major orchestra in America. Makes sense to me. 2 Loert and Yavar Moradi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warrior of Wet Dreams 1387 Report post Posted October 16 So, with classical music blending with original score, perhaps this can be the JNH equivalent of Broughton's Three Musketeers? 1 Yavar Moradi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Stu 6720 Report post Posted October 16 Should be an entertaining holiday listen. I'm hoping it's the kind of score that pairs with drinking hot chocolate, sitting under a fleece blanket.

crumbs 4202 Report post Posted October 16 Wow, nice to see Tchaikovsky still working at his advanced age! I wonder if he'll infuse his writings with some more modern composing sensibilities?

Fabulin 71 Report post Posted October 16 1 hour ago, Holko said: I was more taken by Lang Lang, He shot me down. He shot you down, Lang Lang One thing is certain: the contrasts in the score whenever Tchaikovsky's inventions end and James Newton Howard's begin will be painful to hear. Still I think the movie will be enjoyable... (Keira Knightley + Tschaikovsky? The day I heard about it was a good day.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeallen01 1209 Report post Posted October 17 If I remember correctly, JNH said at a composer talk that the score is minimal Tchaikovsky. Apparently it is 75% him, then 20% him in the 'style' of Tchaikovsky, and then 5% actual Tchaikovsky. 3 Yavar Moradi, Luka and Pieter_Boelen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crumbs 4202 Report post Posted October 17 I assume they have a Solo/JW/Powell type arrangement, where Tchaikovsky wrote all the main themes for JNH to adapt, plus some incidental cues like 'The Big Nut,' 'Grabbing the Tissues,' and 'The Shower.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Stu 6720 Report post Posted October 17 I found Maleficent surprisingly enjoyable, like it wasn't good but the mega-budget fairytale aesthetic was pleasing to watch.

leeallen01 1209 Report post Posted October 26 Some gorgeous melodies. His use of Woodwind just gets better and better. I'm not enormously familiar with Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, only the well known melodies, so I'm not sure which moments are adapted by JNH or entirely original. Some things are obviously JNH.
