Popular Post aj_vader 534 Posted October 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2019 Where is the music from in this second half? I know it's a pastiche of the Imperial March (Can hear that A minor - F Minor Chromatic Mediant at work). ADMIN NOTE: It's not Williams: On 30/01/2020 at 5:34 AM, Manakin Skywalker said: I found it by accident on Audio Network. The track is just over 3 minutes long and is called "Space Battalions" composed by James Brett, a composer I've been somewhat familiar with for a couple years. I had actually suspected he or another composer on Audio Network had composed it, but I didn't come across it until just now.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Here we go again! Idk, I don’t think it’s him. Usually when it turns out to be the real deal, I feel like saying it’s either JW or the single best imitation I’ve ever heard and this isn’t that.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I don't know, I'm hearing a _lot_ of Williams trademarks in there. That major second figure in the lowish strings, the syncopated crashes and how it interplays with the strings, the chromatic trumpet line (preceded by a brass doubling that sounds like it's edited from an earlier part of the tune), those quick-flash fanfare dissonances at the end.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Remember when there was that Last Jedi ride with Here They Come and we were all confused by it? I'm wondering if this a commercial edit of a cue, that key of the Star Wars theme included. There was a bit of sheet music shown a couple of months ago that looked very marchy, does someone have that picture readily available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I’m no musicologist like falstaft or a couple others here, my ear tells me that’s JW original material. Something about the texture of the punchy brass chord pairs and the string section running up the scale between them.. either that’s JW or the first composer to go beyond pastiche and write exactly like him.

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 On July 27, I posted this: "In anticipation for Star Wars, Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, I began watching the entire Star Wars Saga. In addition, I have been reading the novels and graphic novels. This is in chronological order, of course. I've read Master and Apprentice, Darth Maul, watched Episode I: The Phantom Menace, read Obi-Wan and Anakin, Queen's Shadow, watched Episode II: Attack of the Clones, read Mace Windu: Jedi of the Republic, watched The Clone Wars (waiting for the final season to premiere on Disney+ is another thing to look forward to), listened to the audio-book Dooku: Jedi Lost, read the graphic novel series Age of the Republic: Heroes and Villians, read Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir, read Dark Disciple and watched Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. After that, I'll read Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith, read Ahsoka while listening to the audio-book version, read Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel, Lords of the Sith, Rise of the Empire, Most Wanted, watch Solo: A Star Wars Story, listen to the audio-book Pirate's Price, read Kanan, Thrawn, Thrawn: Alliances, Thrawn: Treason, watch Rebels, read Leia: Princess of Alderaan, Rebel Rising, Guardians of the Whills, watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, watch Episode IV: A New Hope, read From a Certain Point of View, read the graphic novel series Darth Vader, Star Wars, Lando, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Vader: Dark Visions, read Lost Stars, Inferno Squadron, Heir to the Jedi, Twilight Company, watch Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, read the graphic novel series Age of Rebellion: Heroes and Villains, read The Weapon of a Jedi: A Luke Skywalker Adventure, Moving Target: A Princess Leia Adventure, Smuggler's Run: A Han Solo Adventure, watch Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, read Shattered Empire, Alphabet Squadron, Aftermath, Aftermath: Life Debt, Aftermath: Empire's End, watch The Mandalorian (when it debuts on Disney+), read Last Shot, Bloodline, The Legends of Luke Skywalker, Phasma, Before the Awakening, read Cobalt Squadron while listening to the audio-book version, read the graphic novel series Poe Dameron, watch Resistance, watch Episode VII: The Force Awakens, read the graphic novel Captain Phasma, read Cobalt Squadron while listening to the audio-book version, watch Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, read the graphic novel series Age of Resistance: Heroes and Villains, read The Rise of Kylo Ren, the graphic novel series Allegiance, read Spark of the Resistance, Resistance Reborn, and Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire. Then it will be time for the grand finale, Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I'll be going to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge from December 12th through 15th. I'll be reading Galaxy's Edge and A Crash of Fate to learn a bit about the history of Black Spire Outpost. I am able to make some use of my spare time to do all of this before December 20th. Yeah, Star Wars is my favorite saga. A grand and epic story spanning three distinct eras, great characters, unique settings, and of course the music of Maestro John Williams." Now: Wow. Two months left. Eight weeks left. Right now, I am on Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Still a ways to go, but the timing lines up perfectly. I am so excited.

I doubt it was written for the commercials themselves It was written for a stock music company of course. There are hundreds of them out there: APM, Pond5, X-Ray Dog, Immediate Music, the list goes on and on. I myself sometimes write music for Pond5, which is where the Discovery Channel and History channel get most of their music. Not every piece of music is written for a specific project.
