Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 So I'm listening to The Adventure Continues and there's a wonderful false ending around the last 30 seconds. This is a fun technique. It fits in a lighthearted piece like this. Another Williams I recall off the top of my head is Chamber of Secrets. There's a darker, more villainous-sounding piece of music. It works in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek sort of way, you know?Other examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Duel Of The Fates and The Forrest Battle are 2 well known examples.I'm not a fan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 For me The Adventure Continues has one too many false endings. It's overkill.Parade of the Slave Children has a fun one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,506 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Are you talking about some sort of cymbal crash or crescendo that seems to signal a piece's end, but then it goes on? Many pieces have several climaxes within its duration.

indy4 155 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I love the false endings from Adventure Continues. They seem like the fullest development of the stop-and-go motion that starts in the title track and continues throughout the rest of the score.Superman Concert version has a false ending, although this one I dislike.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 At least Horner still writes his own end credits, instead of having them stitched together by an editor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 And he does have a tendency to slowly wind down in his end credits.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Horner's last moments of his end credits take the friggin' piss. They add two minutes to a five minute cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff 10 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The End Credits for Revenge of the Sith on the OST might fit this category. It's a good one - I never want that track to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrannon47 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It's technical term is Deceptive Cadence:A false ending is in no way required to be a deceptive cadence. Also, none of the examples people have cited as false endings use a deceptive cadence. Great video, though.Other Williams false endings would be "The Dance of the Witches/End Credits" from The Witches of Eastwick, "Summon the Heroes", "Catch Me if You Can (Reprise and End Credits)", "End Titles" from Dracula, "End Credits" from E.T. (this is an example of arriving on a deceptive cadence when coming from trumpets playing the 3rd of a V chord), "End Title" from Home Alone and Home Alone 2, "Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra" from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (though this can be argued), and "The Carriage Ride to Thornfield" from Jane Eyre. It can be argued that "The Lost World" and "Across the Stars" follow similar patterns. There are many, many more, but these stand out as the most memorable.

Sandor 797 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The original album version of Raiders Of The Lost Ark (the first track) has a false ending which leads into the more intimate version of The Raiders' March theme.

I love that track.I think it is the way the End Credits finish in the film. It is replicated in shorter for on DCC expanded album and I agree that it is a brilliant a bit light hearted ending to the piece, winding down softly to a finish and not going out with a bang as one would expect.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think it works better where DCC put it, as an overture and a lead in to the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That raiders march is an edit made from the 'raiders march-end credits'...the coda is dialed out-faded out in the DDC end credits = unnatural, against nature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,367 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I know it's an edit, I'm just saying it works better at the beginning.I agree with Charlie. Even though WIlliams only recorded the March/End Credits cue in one configuration (full version w/ coda), I think the shortened version with coda opening the score and the full version but w/o coda acting as the end credits is a perfect way to present things. I hope that is retained on a future expansion, especially if said future expansion includes a remaster of the original LP, cause then we'll get the full cue w/ coda there anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 So when you have sessions with cues that are meant to segue into one another, you sort of end up with false endings. Like Temple of Doom or the Harry Potter bootleg. I love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
