Sandor 797 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Isn't this like the way people who aren't really into film music tend to call score selections 'songs'?When the guy says remixes, doesn't he mean 'rearrangements of old themes'?Not sure about the combined orchestra though..... What could THAT mean in 'simple folks-terms'...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 You apparently need to wait years, perhaps a decade or more, for accurate Star Wars reviews. Remember, when Attack of the Cloned came out, everyone was saying it was just as good as Empire, if not the best Star Wars film ever. So I'm taking this all with a grain of salt.Yeah, most everything positive he said I heard said about TPM, AOTC, and ROTS, which I contend are not bad films, but disappointing, nonetheless. There will be no objectivity for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that the comments about TPM music from non-film score fans back in 1999 used to be worded much better than what we've been reading lately regarding TFA.

Popular Post Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted December 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2015 He has had an immense amount of time to do this score. It's going to be amazing. You all know it. WAITFor the new edition, Williams has written a handful of themes for characters including Rey (Daisy Ridley), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Poe (Oscar Isaac), along with “a major march piece” for the Resistance and a choral fanfare for Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) that inspired by a Kipling poem translated into Sanskrit.And while “there are a few short references” to themes from earlier films, nearly all of the two-hour-plus score is new, Williams says. The recording process was “very luxurious,” he adds, with 12 sessions scattered over a five-month period between June and November.This is the first “Star Wars” score to be recorded in L.A. “Originally we were going to London, and do it all in the space of two weeks’ time, the way we’ve always done George’s (Lucas) films. That would not have worked in this case, because J.J. (Abrams)’s editing process is very different.”The composer began work last December and basically continued all year, completing the recording in mid-November. His 90-piece orchestra recorded 175 minutes of music, he says, although nearly an hour of that was discarded, modified or rerecorded as Abrams re-edited the film. Snoke’s theme was recorded by a 24-voice men’s chorus.Williams says the decision to do another “Star Wars” film was basically simple: Abrams asked him, and he said yes. Abrams — who only heard Williams demonstrate two early themes last December, leaving dramatic and musical decisions up to the composer — “was very enthusiastic about everything,” Williams says.http://variety.com/2015/music/awards/oscar-icons-williams-morricone-and-horner-loom-large-in-score-race-1201657637/ Ricard, TownerFan, Smeltington and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
