dalty_smilth 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Hello. I have an mp3 I downloaded of original music from the Star Wars Radio Drama, and I was wondering, did John Williams compose new music for the series himself, or did someone else arrange themes from Star Wars?
King Mark 3,975 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 No music is known to be exclusive to the Radio Dramas.K.M.
Henry B 51 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 And yet... there it is. I also have this music, but no idea where it came from.
NeejaHalycon 0 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 The credits in the Radio Drama just say "Music by John Williams". You'd probably have to contact HighBridge audio for a definitive answer.
Henry B 51 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 The music sounds like it was performed by a small ensemble, perhaps twenty players? It's hard to say what Williams would do with such a group, so his style is not as easy to identify...:spiny:
Luke Skywalker 2,384 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Well music IS by john Williams, the is not 'new' musicI dont know who orchestrated for a smaller orchestra and who is directing.
artyjeffrey 20 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Mostly they're from the first few episodes, like someone else said, a very small ensemble performing a cue of "the Little People," and in the first episode there's this odd cue that doesn't appear to based on any motif from the original score. As a matter of fact.... it only last about 6 seconds or so, but it always reminds me of the first half of the "Battlestar Galactica" theme!
Damo 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 is this "Radio Drama" an internet online radio??
Lurker 5 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 A small wind and percussion ensemble was brought in to record some music. It was put together in a 10 minute suite on the limited edition collector's set. The short piece heard in Episode 1 of the series is very clearly the main Star Wars theme. is this "Radio Drama" an internet online radio??No, it was produced by National Public Radio in 1981.Neil
Henry B 51 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Neil, do you know if the ensemble music was composed by Williams himself?
