jsawruk 0 Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Anyone know where I can find a list of all the instruments used in the AOTC score or if you have such a list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanED 1 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 If it's the same as the Hal Leonard edition of the suite from his Star Wars score, the orchestration is as follows:Flute 1, 2, Piccolo/3Oboe 1, 2Bb Clarinet 1, 2, BassBasson 1, 2F Horn 1, 2, 3, 4Bb Trumpet 1, 2, 3Trombone 1, 2, BassTubaTimpiniPercussion 1, 2HarpPiano/CelesteViolin 1, 2ViolaCelloBassFor AOTC, it of course adds Electric Guitar and Harpsichord, and I think it's safe to say that there is probably at least one more percussion part for at least the chase through Coruscant. I also know that TPM has contrabasson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsawruk 0 Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 Where is the harpsichord?And you left out the electric piano, as well as something very important called the choir!Could you please elaborate what exactly is in "percussion" ?I think that's all....

EvanED 1 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Yes, I did forget choir. (Harpsichord is mentioned in the last paragraph)Anyway, percussion. I'll just go through listing the instruments as notated in the score:TranglePiattiS.D.B.D. (I guess snare and bass drum; is this standard notation?)GlockenspielVibraphoneLarge Tam-TamSuspended CymbalSecond Snare Drum (BTW: more than one instrument are often on one part, so you'd need more than two people. We had three not including timpini) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsawruk 0 Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 No, I meant where in the score is there a harpsichord? I heard a harp for sure in Across the Stars that sounded like a harpsichord... but is there actually a harpsichord somewhere?Piatti by the way means cymbals.And it's timpani.Yes, SD and BD are common, but not standard, shorthand for snare and bass drum.

We had three not including timpini)I guess that they used at least 5 or 6 percussionists for the whole recording. And for the 2nd track on the CD some kind of Japanese drums were used I guess. Trangle should be triangle I guess.. Further, the xylophone has some important notesIn track 6 finger cymbals were used, at least it sounds like them.Then some smaller instruments are also on the score:the wind chimes or bar chimes claveswoodblocktom toms, field drumsshaker, maracas or something PetePan, who knows a lot of percussion instruments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetePan 163 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 I guess its track 3 then, the chase through coruscant (sorry)Not in Across the stars of course :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanED 1 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Yes, but that doesn't mean that there are percussion 1-6 parts. Percussion 1 splits into two staves for much of the Imperial march, and in those and may other places, two people are reading off of one part. Putting, say, snare and bass drum on one part adds a little flexability for who does what instruments.There definitly were 6 horns in the music video... forgot about that. But that's certainly for only a very small portion of the score.Listen to the end of the Across the Stars part of the end credits... it's in there. The harpsoichord kicks in (with harp) at 9:09 on track 13 and lasts until 9:40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsawruk 0 Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 Actually, I did hear the one (of 2) electric guitar cues in the chase through coruscant. The other one on the CD track was absent in the film.I personally enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
