Maurizio 6,913 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Full uncut version (a snippet of it was included in the extra features on the Eyes Wide Shut DVD):
tharpdevenport 4 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 This one is obviously an older score. The genre will likely be quite apparent. The score sounds like it's done with about five percussion instruments, mostly snare drums. I can't give clues to who the composer is, because there's some confusion as to who scored it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB7afIlciNc
tharpdevenport 4 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I have a thread at MainTitles where I do this.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 There's one on YouTube with that scene and score by Don Davis, too. Didnm't care for it.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 He should see Emil Richards' large storage building (I've heard him and others describe it and the wonders).
Maglorfin 219 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 An interesting medley. I can't quite decide whether I like it or not.
Omen II 1,300 Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Did anyone here watch the recent BBC series of The Choir? For the uninitiated, choirmaster Gareth Malone brings together groups of people who have never sung before (and in many cases would never have dreamt of doing so) and teaches them to sing. In the latest series he went to RMB Chivenor in north Devon to form a choir from the military wives and girlfriends whose husbands were away serving in Afghanistan. I thought it was the best programme on TV all year. The end result was a song written specially for them by composer Paul Mealor and based on extracts from letters home from the soldiers.

Maglorfin 219 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 A lovely thank-you-JW speech by Chris Reeve I've never seen before, seemingly from a ceremony when JW retired from conducting Boston Pops.
stuttersteps 1 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Went a bit overboard w/ the visuals, but the arrangement of themes is nice.
Quintus 6,499 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Ha! That was brilliant. And I liked the effects The best thing about Star Wars and its iconic place in popular culture are constant references to JW's music. People really revere that shit and that makes me smile.A lovely thank-you-JW speech by Chris Reeve I've never seen before, seemingly from a ceremony when JW retired from conducting Boston Pops. Hey nice find, thanks for linking!It's amazing how many obscure videos there are floating around the world.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Using a fake "Prometheus" trailer from a couple years ago, I used music by a favorite composer of mine to rescore it, 'cause I wish he'd get a job like this, and making the video only made me further concur with the initial thoughts. Again, not my trailer, so...
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Hello everyone! I realize it has been an awful long while since I have been to this website, but after pre-ordering The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse I just got so excited that I set up camp outside of my community mail-box these past several months! There were some tough nights, but thankfully I was able to rummage through enough Thanksgiving and Christmas food parcels (and the occasional roadkill bunny rabbit) to keep myself alive.Anyways, the primary reason I am typing this is to promote a performance of "John Williams is the Man" for saxophone quartet my friend recorded a few months back, if you will excuse the blatant advertisement. Even though we are jointly credited for the arrangement, most of the work was his: the only contributions I made were the Dracula transition and the Imperial March/Cantina Band counter-play, as well the idea of including the Star Wars theme after Jurassic Park. I hope you people like it, and feedback of any sort would be gladly welcomed!(I apologize for the generic "video", by the way.)
tharpdevenport 4 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I want one of these! I can think of one score I've heard that one at 2:23 in:
tharpdevenport 4 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 What if Henry Mancini had scored "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"? Well, I felt compelled to put this breif things together, so...Scenes up to Spock's death: Reliant sneak attack:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fubJD44pNE
indy4 160 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Despite the factual inaccuracies and the fact that it goes on a little too long, some parts of this are a little amusing. More importantly, it's a comedic video about John Williams--we don't get a lot of those, so they must be posted.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Want to see a ridicuously elaborate and over the top, but interesting commercial? Well, here you go:
KingPin 247 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Not sure if has been posted before, but this is an excerpt from a flute masterclass taught by Leone Buyse, who was the principal flutist of the Boston Pops during the 80's and has been featured on some of that orchestra's recordings under John Williams. Midway through the clip, she tells a neat little anecdote that relates the maestro himself.
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I don't often post to this thread, but when I do....it's damn awesome:
Romão 2,473 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Zimmer's inspiration for THe Dark Knight: I was pretty shocked when I heard that, specially after so many claims by Zimmer of having tried many different sounds for that one note theme
gkgyver 1,647 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Well, he couldn't handle the one note effectively, so he went for a direct "inspiration".
Maglorfin 219 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 An der schönen, blauen Donau (AKA The Blue Danube), as performed by Cantabile Symphony Orchestra (in which I also play) in New Year's Concert on January 2nd, 2012.
Smeagol 0 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I just found while browsing around on youtube. It's from a TV special about the making of Quantum of Solace. At the 4:25 mark in this video (Part 3 of 4 of this featurette) we get a couple of minutes of David Arnold talking about the score and playing around in his studio. It doesn't show anything too interesting, but I always like it when I find footage of composers in their studios/recording sessions. The quality isn't very good since the guy who uploaded it recorded it from his TV, but it's still kinda cool.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Can anybody identify the music under this old news report?
chuck 155 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I don't know if this was added already but here goes...I'ts a clip of Jerry Goldsmith in 1975 conducting his own scores... I must say his pre-synthesizers and electronic music is really beautiful...
Wojo 2,458 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Just because the Harry Potter threads have slipped from the first page...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9z5BeJ4KjQI'm not sure how I feel about the clip. I know the date is plain wrong, but the average movie-goer has no idea the stories did not take place in the present-day, but were shifted a few years back. The clip borders on funny and sad, but there was one line that made me laugh out loud.
tharpdevenport 4 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I heaped some loving praise on three Billy Goldenberg scores over at another forum. I made some quick suites -- hope every body enjoys:"Columbo: Ransom For a Dead Man" "The Harness" "Change of Habit"

chuck 155 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Here's a clip of Jerry Goldsmith being interviewed about John Williams' score to "Superman", Elmer Bernstein's score to "The Magnificent Seven", as well as his own score to "The Wind and The Lion." Short clip about Jerry Goldsmith explaining his process of film composing. I don't know if this was posterd in here before, but in any case:Here's two very rare clips of legendary film composer Elmer Bernstein himself conducting his very own scores: Here's one of John Williams conducting tributes for three composers:
Omen II 1,300 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Here's two very rare clips of legendary film composer Elmer Bernstein himself conducting his very own scores:Thanks for posting these links, Chuckster! I was in the audience for that Elmer Bernstein concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2001; it was part of the Proms season and was a really fine concert. I didn't know there was anything from it on YouTube. The concert featured several other works by Elmer (including The Ten Commandments and The Man With The Golden Arm) as well as other great film music by Steiner, Waxman, Raksin, Herrmann and others.

Sandor 918 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Nice, but Suo Gan is not John Williams....
chuck 155 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah. Could've just used "Exultate Justi" instead.
Sandor 918 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah. Could've just used "Exultate Justi" instead.Or even better: Cadillac Of The Skies, the concert arrangement. P.S. your avatar picture: where is it from...? Very cool...!
