Popular Post igger6 894 Posted June 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's here! Dang, I was hoping we'd get the whole album today, but I'll take it! On first listen, this sounds more faithful to the original arrangement than Hedwig did. Mutter's playing sounds gorgeous! Is this the one she arranged herself? Also, we've now gone from Johnny Thanos to Johnny Red Skull on the album covers. What's next? crumbs, Holko, _deleted_ and 5 others 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Because of the arrangement, it feels shorter to me than what it is--given how this basically the concert arrangement accommodating a solo violin, and the original didn't have a ton going on--, but I think would make a very nice bonus track.

Incanus 5,714 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yes Mutter's arrangement isn't as much a reworking of this piece as Williams' arrangements for this album seem to be (well based on two examples). But in any case I really like the solo violin version of the theme as I don't think it ever got a similar one in the films and it very much suits this gentle lyrical melody.

Eh I don’t think that’s much to go on. I read it as Williams’s arrangement for her i.e. “my very own John Williams arrangement” and she just singled it out like that because she loves Yoda. Is she known for composing/arranging? I’ve never heard of it...this pretty much sounds like Williams to me so I will be impressed if it’s her handiwork.

jocores 96 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I read it as mrbellamy, it is not Mutter's arrangement but Williams' arragement written for Mutter to play. Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Quote Working through his arrangements (for meeeeeeeee) of his iconic tunes...and – hold your breath – my own arrangement of “Yoda”!!!! You could really read that both ways. His arrangements - my own arrangement. The Across the Stars and Hedwig's theme have been re-arranged and reworked but Yoda's theme sounds much more of a straightforward transcription of the original tune with a more prominent solo violin part added to carry the melody. But that doesn't suggest that Williams' could not have approached some of the pieces in this straightforward manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 "Markings" was surely recorded. I guess it might be presented on a separate future release featuring other concert pieces. From pictures and social media postings, also "The Chairman's Waltz" from Geisha was definitely recorded (featuring Lynn Harrell on solo cello). Perhaps it'll be featured as digital-only exclusive, or on a future deluxe edition release. Mutter also spoke about Leia's Theme and Han Solo and the Princess, but perhaps they weren't recorded.
