Popular Post TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2019 Posted it in another thread, but got buried soon. Found this today on YouTube via thx99 facebook: It's the full concert arrangement (Williams performed it once in Chicago in 2009). This is a reproduction made with VST instruments, but it's done tastefully well. It's the first time I hear this version.

Incanus 5,713 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks for sharing Maurizio! Sounds like an amalgamation of WIlliams' 2000's fanfare output with a little Star Wars march feel thrown into the mix. So many classic JW gestures found throughout.

King Mark 3,624 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Wow pretty cool. I thought it was a real orchestra Now this was posted in 2017 so it's beyond me it has't been pointed out before on this forum Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeH 768 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I really don’t think that’s a mock-up. Or if it is please point me to the library that can accomplish that haha. It’s been on Hal Leonard’s site for quite some time. Great piece, JW really likes his brassy finishes! Will and justaguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If I recall, I think @Will posted this recording here years ago (honestly not sure when), after I made a comment wishing there were an expanded concert version of the SNF material. I always thought it was an orchestra, just not a terribly dynamically recorded one. (It sounded "dry" to me, if I'm using that correctly.) But I was thrilled to get my hands on it, whatever it is!

Falstaft 2,132 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Don't think his has been posted either. The two other NFL compositions JW did included in this arrangement, "Screen Pass" and "Taking The Pass." You can really hear some "I Can Fly Anything" in the latter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC has this stuff at its disposal and it uses a (weak) trailerize version of the main theme only. I wonder if Williams intentionally used some of this in TFA since NBC was showing no interest in it.

I don't know (I don't care about American football), but when I sat in a sports pub in San Diego in 2012, on a Sunday, I heard the theme constantly on the screen -- albeit some rock or electronic versions of the theme (intros and outros and such). So it was at the very least used untill 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,287 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I remember hearing Williams' main theme in the last couple of Superbowls. Who knows what network feed I was watching; I wasn't in the US at the time. But it was definitely a trailerised version of the JW theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviazn 273 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yes, a trailerized rock version of JW’s theme is still the go-to theme on the NBC broadcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
