Monger7 1 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I was looking on the JW website to try and find any score of the battle of Yavin. The only one that looks like would have it is near the bottom of the Conductors scores section of his website, titled the Star Wars Symphonic Suite. However, I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where to find a good conductors score for a full orchestra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelm 2,913 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I believe this was part of the original suite recorded by Charles Gerhardt (the final battle) here: https://www.amazon.com/Close-Encounters-Williams-Classic-Scores/dp/B000003EMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Shame, because that original Star Wars Suite is awesome, much cooler than the weird, more recent one. All of the Gerhardt Star Wars albums would have made a cool addition to concert programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LA recording with Mehta is also different than the suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,075 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I actually prefer it over JW's own SW trilogy album. ricsim88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricsim88 244 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Me too. There’s something a little odd about that Skywalker symphony CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
