Practically it makes no difference, but it sounds better than saying the new set retains a film edit 😜 It sounds...odd.

Popular Post Once 605 Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Jay said: My biggest disappointment with the Chamber score (which I absolutely LOVE, btw) is easily the fact that the Stone motif is used at all, let along as frequently and prominently as it is. As you indicated, JW wrote a FANTASTIC theme for the Chamber, which got a tremendous concert arrangement but also is worked into several key cues in a FANTASTIC way; Every single time the Chamber theme is used in an actual film cue, it's orchestrated differently than it ever is in the concert arrangement, and all those moments are among my favorite moments in the whole score. The melody really lent itself to being adaptable into different spots and perfectly captures the air of mystery around the Chamber. I completely agree. I've always thought that the amount of great new themes and motifs (the Chamber's, Fawkes's, Dobby's, Myrtle's, Lockhart's, the flying car, spiders) could/should have had a much bigger impact, and really they didn't need to rely on the themes from PS at all. If not for the scheduling conflict, I'm sure he would have given us a much fresher score. If only Williams had a time-turner! 2 hours ago, Jay said: the interesting thing I figured out while working on this set was that Williams actually wrote another little motif relating to the chamber and the general mystery of the film; You can hear it at the end of the "Petrified Colin (Alternate)" sample (it was removed from the film version), but it was introduced earlier, in "The Writing On The Wall" and reappears later too, in "Ginny Gets Snatched". I imagine he would have embellished on this as well as the Chamber theme he had time to rewrite every cue that currently uses the Stone theme. Alas. Woah, thank you for pointing this out. What a great little motif! Harry Potter really inspired some great music from Williams.

Popular Post Jay 37,352 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2018 Myrtles, Dobbys, Lockharts, Flying Car, and Spiders themes are really all used everywhere they can be. It's the Chamber theme that should have been used way more, instead of the HP1 stone motif popping up over and over again And then of course the many action setpieces that reuse HP1 (or AOTC) music instead of completely original set piece cues is the next disappointment.

Oh, I didn't mean that all of those themes were used wrongly. It's just that Williams often uses themes and motifs 'out of context', so to speak, and I would've preferred in these instances that he had re-arranged his CoS themes rather than PS pieces. Although as a kid I loved recognizing the music - like hearing the melody for Norbert in the slug scene, or the 'Harry Gets a Wand' melody in the petrified Hermione scene.
