leeallen01 2,137 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Listening through McNeely's score for episode 3. I like his theme for the episode. It gets a few nice variations throughout. A nicely flexible theme that works as an otherworldly mystery theme and one of fear and awe. At 0:46 in 'Signs of Life,' that little brass flourish is familar. Perhaps McNeely has used it before in past seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,137 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Listening through episode 5. Man what a gorgeous score for that episode. Kind of confused about it not being just Cottee's episode, considering I thought each composer stuck to their episodes, as McNeely has said he had no idea what other wrote for their episodes until he saw them... But ep5 score 'A Tale of Two Topas' credits 3 composers; Cottee as primary, and then Kaska and McNeely. Anyway, damn the score is so lush and powerful. It's like a celebration of 90's classic romantic scores from people like JNH, with some Horner and Silvestri thrown in there. 'Official Orders' is like a classical composer reworked Broughton's main title. It's just so much fun to listen to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,456 Posted April 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2023 Producer Dan Goldwasser actually responded to a question about that in the FSM thread Any idea why both of Cottee's scores, and one of Kaska's, have cues by the other composers? There were re-writes as the show was edited and in some cases another composer hopped in. Yavar Moradi, enderdrag64 and leeallen01 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,137 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Interesting. It's kind of cool to hear how synched the composers are with the musical vision of Seth that they can all interchange and it works so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrJosh 892 Posted April 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2023 So...I am wayyyyyy late to the party here. I just started watching the show, and wow the music is awesome. Going to order the LLL sets and then the 3rd vol on Quobuz, though I guess i'll wait for that new master (just read the latest posts above). I'm so glad Seth has an appreciation for good film music!

igger6 894 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 This is great music. It's a love letter to Williams throughout, and then every now and then it turns into a stalker letter. "hEY jOHNNY!!! wHAT WeRE YoU WEariNG WheN yOu WrOtE THE bATTLE OF hOTH??? i'M wearING IT tOoOoOoO!!!!" I've heard SpaceCamp, Yoda's theme, the March of the Resistance, even "I Can Fly Anything" at one point in there. And it runs the gamut from note-for-note melodic similarity to a sort of spiritual, structural paint-by-numbers that's even weirder when it dawns on you. But whatever. The music is gorgeous, and there are lots of cues that are either more original or haven't revealed their provenance to my ear yet.

leeallen01 2,137 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Still listening through the score, one episode at a time. I've re-listened to each episode over and over again, treating each one like its own separate score to be examined and enjoyed. On episode 7 at the moment; From Unknown Graves. Debney really shines in this one, with the delicate and romantic writing. The piano and woodwinds are particularly beautiful and I love the patience of this episode's score. It breathes and flows gorgeously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 2,975 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Agree. Common Ground is so beautiful. Together with Training Excersises, it's my most played cue from the 3rd season leeallen01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,456 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Yea I really haven't given this album the time and attentive ear it deserves. Probably due to it being released as a giant 4 hour thing all at once a year after I saw the episodes. If this had gotten weekly albums after each episode aired like Mando 1 and WandaVision, holy cow would that have been a whole different experience Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,176 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Yeah I agree. I have a tough time digesting some of these huge digital music dumps and trying to remember the episodes without liner notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert 475 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Yeah, I think I need to split it up per episode as well, like leeallen above does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,137 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 It's pretty easy and digestible to listen to each episode's score on their own. I was overwhelmed at first, but then stopped trying to madly listen to all 72 pieces at the same time. It's been weeks and I'm only on episode 8. I'm already very familiar with each score and their ideas, as a result. They're all like mini-movies anyway, so each score works narratively as a solo entity. Some have their own main theme that carries throughout their episode, with development and resolution. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,456 Posted April 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2023 Yea I think I need to make a playlist for each episode score, and only listen to one episode's score at a time in between other things. Maybe listen to each one a few times before moving on to the next leeallen01, Laserschwert and Yavar Moradi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,137 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I'm still on episode 8, Midnight Blue. Love this score. McNeely has some really magical moments. Like 'Sweet Moment/Beautiful Sight' makes me think he would be a good choice for a Harry Potter project. And 1:30 in 'Union Central' is perhaps the most badass reveal of the Orville ship itself.

Popular Post JNHFan2000 2,975 Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2023 I didn't know what to listen to this morning so put on album shuffle and the S3 album came up. I've just finished the score of Episode 5. Just like Rings Of Power I'm really amazed at the incredible music written here. It doesn't matter how many times I've heard it, it remains as fantastic as the first time. Kelly Invites Topa is just incredible. And I've replayed Dalakos Arrival & Training Excersice both 4 times before moving on. I know upcoming cues like Returning Home, Common Ground & Breaking In might have the same impact.
