Williams film cues and their Prototypes


King Mark

Recommended Posts

Got me thinking what cues he composed that seem heavily inspired by an earlier one he wrote:;

 

The Knight Bus......Synfonietta for Wind :Molto alegro (concert piece)

The Throne Room.....Men of the Yorktown March (Midway)

The Planet Krypton (opening)...The City Sleeps (Earthquake)

The Departure (KotCS)....Soundings

Escape from the Mynoc Cave (ESB)...Strangle hold-Landing (Lost in Space)

Amazing Stories End Titles...E.T. End Titles

Cue where the students summon the boggarts in PoA...The Palace Feast in ToD

Quiddich (COS)....Chase on Coruscant(AotC)

Lucious Malfoy motif (CoS)...Separatist Motif (AotC)

Refugee Status (WotW)...Lament (RotS)...The Parish Church Aflame (Patriot) ... Immolation (Schindler's List)

I think a lot of the underscore and dark music for chamber is similar to Seperatist music like you stated above, but also part of Minority Report, namely the last minute of  "Confronting Lamar" is extremely similar to the music for AOTC after the Tusken Slaughter

Troll Attack (HPPS) from To The Plaza, presto (Home Alone 2)

Quidditch Fanfare And Game opening from HP I, Ultimate War (Hook) opening from The Landing (Amazing Stories, first minutes or so)

suspense material from HP in general from Haunted Brownstone (Home Alone 2)

Learning To Read (Book Thief) from Plenty Of Fish And Chips In Heaven (Angela's Ashes) (idiom and melodic fragments heavily borrowed)

To Giant Country, Dream Country (BFG) leans heavily on Potter I and II (though i'm too lazy to look for all the snowball fights and so on, it's very openly copied)

Setting the Trap (HA), Quidditch Third Year, The Return to the City (alternate) from Preparations from Black Sunday 

Recollections (The Father's Theme) from CMIYC (especially from 02:31) from Accidental Tourist (first phrases of main theme)

Chamber Theme from Potter II from The Carriage (Jane Eyre) 

Window from the Past from Reunion (Jane Eyre)

 

many more, The Mission (Amazing Stories) is generally a blueprint for  many subsequent adventure/fantasy scores.

Goodbye Old Friend from Star Wars III and the more recent March of the Resistance sound like Black Sunday crossed with the NBC News music. Snoke was compared to Palpatine's Teachings but it actually sounds exactly like the film version of the Trek to Pankot when Indy approaches that statue with the severed fingers on it.
