  1. Well, the time has come for this. I see no reason to try and comment on every track when @Incanus's excellent full analysis is done and available, I urge everyone interested to read it. I used the LLL, JW's intentions, no source music, no recreating tracked music or microedits - therefore in many many many places (70% of the tracks in fact if I counted correctly) I had to adjust the footage to fit to the music by either splitting it and inserting black screens in places where there could be missing shots, or surprisingly often (namely in Introduction to Quidditch, Quidditch Match, Invisibility Cloak, The Dark Forest and The Face of Voldemort), I had to remove footage, sometimes intentionally somewhat jarringly to indicate it. I wasn't 100% a slave of following the movie's audio track - my thinking was if they trimmed multiple shots, they'd probably find a place where the music can be edited down to still sound continuous and musical instead of also just trimming everything that went with those trimmed bits and being left with a horrific mess - I used it for guidelines, bigger sync points, start points to preserve the spotting. Trailer #1 - The first thing JW recorded for the score, this one's almost a minute shorter than the cue for it. There's an obvious edit at the end, I split the footage there. 1MA Logo - Syncs up well 1M1 The Prologue - Had to extend a shot of Dumbledore turning around to make the scoring of the lights going out consistent. Also had to loop and slow some shots for Dumbledore placing Harry down. 1M3 The Friendly Reptile - Had to slow two snake shots to cover a gap, but couldn't do anything about the other, the sync points are obvious and we're missing too much, it could be Harry reacting, something else in the zoo, it's not scored lively enough to be more Dudley antics. 1M4 Don't Burn My Letter - The cue is much longer than the film scene, the scoring for all the remaining shots are pretty clear. This leaves a big gap between the opening and the blocking the mail slot, I fit a shortened version of the deleted scene with the eggs here even if I think Petunia's hysterical state would make it fit better later. 1M5 Mail Delivery - This one is again a good 15 seconds shorter than the cue. The one place I could find to split it is when the letters start flooding in - there's a cut where the floor is already filled with them pretty quickly. 2M1 The Beach and The Arrival of Hagrid - Had to slow the establishing shot of the shack, and the ending is a mess. 2M2 You're a Wizard Harry - The film removes the part from opening the letter to the umbrella coming out, playing off the former with some tracking. Had to slow a shot and shorten one at the end to make it fit. 2M3 The Wizard's Pub - Thought it'd be fun to do this too, used the sessions take for the ending without the fade. 2M4 Diagon Alley (+ Reveal Insert) - An attempt to guess how the insert might've been intended to be used - its opening is in the same place as the LLL, but it overlaps the first few phrases of the alley music, ending up synced to picture well enough. The film of course tracks 3M5 Entry into the Great Hall in here. Had to shorten a shot in Gringotts, had to put a gap where Hagrid might be searching his pockets, and one with maybe a longer shot or another shot of the ride to the vaults, also had to slow down the shot of Harry's money to make it all fit. 2M5 Harry Gets His Wand - Simple and fitting. 3M1 Hagrid's Flashback - The movie chops out a good portion of the footage and only uses the cue from the start of the flashback. I tried to fit the dialogue to the mood and found some lines of script that fit in the gap. 3M2 Platform Nine and Three Quarters - There are some strange gaps again between very obvious sync points. 3M3 Escaping Frog - Fits nicely. 3M4 Arrival at Hogwarts - Funnily enough, this is the cue they single out in the documentaries where they wanted to cut down the footage but JW was just too good to cut down. Well I had to extend it and shuffle some shots around to fit well enough. 3M5 Entry into the Great Hall - Fits well. 3M6 House Selection - I had to slow a Hermione and later a Harry shot, and added a script line in one gap. 4M1 The Banquet - There's one gap probably for more eating, one puzzling long one with darkish music that comes in between two well-matched Nick shots, a gap between the reactions to his near-headlessness and him floating on, I had to slow the shot of the kids walking towards the Grand Staircase, and there's also something missing with the Fat Lady. 4M2 Lonely First Night - Completely unused (replaced by 9M2 Leaving Hogwarts) but fits nicely. 4M3 Mail Drop - I disregarded the film sync and except for a missing chunk of mail drops it fits well. Aside from the different sync and the chopped out bit, the film also speeds up the opening. 4M4 Mr. Longbottom Flies - A total mess of missing bits, necessary lengthenings and even shortenings. 4M5 The Moving Stairs - Had to shorten a shot and extend the next one. 4M6R It's Guarding Something - This is the best guess how this unused cue would fit. 4M7 Introduction to Quidditch - Had to remove a shot of Wood struggling and extend Harry's reaction to cover it up. 5M1 Hermione's Feather - Split the LLL track in two. [Tracked] [Halloween] - Since my HP2 iso score recreates the additional tracked cues as well, I thought I'd do it here too, this is a combination of 3M4 Arrival at Hogwarts and 7M4 Running to McGonagall. 5M1X Troll in the Dungeon - Unused but fits. 5M2 Fighting the Troll - Easily the cue I had to spend the most time on. We have 3 minutes of footage for a 4 minute cue. The first break is simple, they probably showed it going through the hallway in full form instead of keeping the reveal for when Hermione sizes it up. Originally the troll was possibly slower, more lumbering, but then it's puzzling how energetically Williams scored it. Anyway, I had to do a ton of chopping, resyncing, looping/reversing and slowing down to get it to some coherent form. 5M3 Nimbus 2000 - Fits great. 5M4p1 Let The Games Begin - Had to remove the part with Harry and the other seeker looking at the Snitch and jumped right to it flying up in the sky. 5M4p2 The Scoring Begins 5M4p3 Slytherin Scores - For long and incredibly VFX-heavy sequences, it's very surprising that these both fit perfectly, it's only at their joining point that the picture starts going slightly out of sync so I shortened the shot of Wood falling. 5M4p4 Harry's Great Victory - Had to slow the shots of Harry standing up and reaching for the Snitch but otherwise this also fits perfectly. 6M1 Hagrid's Christmas Tree - Fits great. 6M1Aalt Cast a Christmas Spell 6M1A Christmas Music Box - Thought I'd recreate the film assembly of these too. 6M2 Christmas Morning - A good chunk of something is missing here between the two cues. 6M2A The Library Scene - I had to remove the part where Harry avoids Filch in the library to make everything fit. The film loops it and also tracks in material from 8M1 The Chess Board to make the Snape/Quirrell/Filch part more dramatic and less understated. I also had to shorten the shots of Harry entering the Mirror room, lengthen the shot of the Mirror's inscription, swap some shots around when Harry touches it, and remove a bit where he tries to wake Ron up. 6M3 Dumbledore's Advice - I grabbed some missing lines from the script to fill a hole even though I'm not sure they fit that part of the cue. 6M4alt Hedwig's Time Transition - Fits. 6M5R Hermione's Reading - Also fits. 6M6 The Norwegian Ridgeback - Simple, fits. 7M1 Filch's Fond Remembrance - Also fits simply but the film dials out the recorded-lead second half. 7M2 The Blue Forest - This was also difficult. Had to extend the first shots of walking in the forest, remove the conversation between Harry and Draco (servants' job, I think you're scared etc) and mock something up to cover it up. A bit is missing where Firenze chases Voldemort away, and also in his conversation with Harry about the Stone. 7M3 Three Note Loop - I still don't think this was composed as a proper film cue but I recreated its film edit anyway. 7M3A Hagrid Plays the Flute - And of course added this one while I'm at it, sessions take for the ending. 7M4 Running to McGonagall - Fits fine [Tracked] [Neville Stiffens] - This was probably originally spotted (only possible cue to fit as 7M5), then not scored anyway, then scored anyway with tracked music, from 2M2 You're a Wizard Harry, 5M1X Troll in the Dungeon and 4M6R It's Guarding Something. 7M6 [Fluffy's Harp Lullaby] - Recreated the fim edit. 7M7 In the Vinesnakes - Fits. 7M8 The Flying Keys - Fits. 8M1 The Chess Board - Had to extend some shots to bring it back to sync. 8M2 The Game Begins - Same here, but a chunk of the battle is still missing. 8M3 Checkmate - Only had to shorten the shot of Harry walking down the stairs. 8M4 The Mirror Scene - I lengthened the silence between the first and second part of the cue. I had to do something around the shot moving around Quirrell's head - if I removed it, I would have been left with only a small gap, but also a cut from Harry to... Harry. So I shortened the shot and both Harry shots around it instead. There are some weird gaps in the dialogue, had to slow down shots to cover them. The fight with Quirrell also has gaps, I also tried to cover them. 8M5 Love, Harry - Fits 9M1 Gryffindor Wins 9M2 Leaving Hogwarts - Thankfully these two both fit perfectly. 9M3 End Credits, Pt. 1 9M4 End Credits, Pt. 2 - Thought I'd add them in their full form instead of recreating the film butchery. Adjusted the credits as usual, of course, to sync the switch between single names and scrolling to a pleasing spot in the music. 1MAalt Logo (+ 1M1 The Prologue) - Added the opening of Privet Drive to show how they'd sound combined. I prefer the final one. 2M4 Diagon Alley - Final take without the insert, taken from the session leak. After years of living with the LLL version, this sounds really really weird 6M4 Owl's Flight - Still the best guess on how to sync it up. Hedwig's Theme [for Harp] - Thought I'd try it under Fluffy for fun. Trailer #2 - This one fits in length, but the final trailer doesn't use it in full. The one edit I had to make was at the end, one of the repeating BAMs was removed, so I added in a shot of the castle at night for it. I didn't try Television Commerical because it's a minute long, but all the Coke and other TV ads are 30 seconds, or Hogwarts Forever (vocal) because I don't think it's even a film cue written to picture.

  2. That does not show up for me on the Apple Music US Store. I can follow the link and see it, but when I add it to my library, it does not play. Odd. Thanks for your notes. I was not at the concerts, so I was seeing the performance for the first time. I watched about a quarter of it today (my deluxe edition arrived yesterday from Presto Music). A few additional thoughts on the video and my playback set up. I'm watching on an Oppo 4K Blu-Ray, connected through a Denon receiver with Dolby Atmos. LG 4K (2019 model) for the video playback. The LG is doing the upsampling from 1080i. B&W 600 series speakers. I dislike the smoothing of modern TVs, so I have that turned off. The result is the filmic quality described earlier in this thread. You can definitely spot the results of this when you see the printed music in shots. Some stuff is easy to read, but other details are garbled by the 1080i and then further conversion. This does not take away from the concert or music - just an observation. Despite having the 4k version, I doubt there is enough market for a 4k disc release. Generally, I found the editing decent. They save the wide shot for big moments, and mostly follow along the key instruments (where they had cameras) or on JW or ASM (when she is playing). Like most concert films, I actually find this annoying at times because visually, we will be right on the harp strings (this is the most egregious close up), but of course the harp is not blasting out - the mix remains a neutral seat location. So, you eyes and ears do not match. This is not specific to this recording; you experience it in other concert recordings and if the mix changed, the music would severely suffer. It's less jarring to see the violins or French horns up close when they play because they cut through so much of the mix anyway. When the image is on Williams, you can also get distracted by audience members who are themselves distracted. I wish the crew had kept the light levels on the audience a bit lower. (There is one girl who looks interested, then bored, then seems to have fallen asleep on her father's lap.) Where I was very pleasantly surprised is how much I like the Atmos mix. There were some earlier posts in this thread speculating about that, but I have to say that it really is nice. Not being at the concert, I cannot try to compare the live sound. However, for my set up (which I think I have pretty dialed in), the surrounds and ceiling speakers felt right. Good amount of reverb and ambience behind me and nice wide sound field in the LCR speakers. The LFE is not overly aggressive. My wife thought it sounded better than what we heard in Tanglewood last July. (Of course, that is not really a fair comparison given the differences in the venues and orchestras.) I was also happy to discover the CD tracks as Blu-Ray audio only. I did not expect or process those were on the release. They show as the same resolution that the downloadable HD Audio is (96/24). I do think the performances are the same as the video, with the audience noise edited out. (I actually wish they had left the final applause in the CD release as you sometimes hear on other live recordings.) Sound settings seemed to allow me to select 2.0, 5.1 or Atmos mixes for both the video and audio-only tracks. I believe this is the second JW conducted 5.1 or higher mix ever released, right? There is a SACD of Close Encounters, but I think that is a remix not a return to the original tapes. Same with Schindler's List. There is the Dallas Winds JW album on SACD, but JW did not conduct that. Earthquake was released in a 4-channel format on LP, but again, I am guessing that was created from pieces. The only one i can think of is Yo-Yo Ma and JW which Sony released in a SACD-only version (2.0 and 5.0 audio) separate from the CD. In any case, I really like the JW in Vienna multichannel mix, and I would love a SACD release too. So, from a technical perspective, I like the deluxe edition quite a lot, particularly in the audio region. I'm glad to have the record of the concert on video as well. I have the MQA CD on order too and will see how that sounds. (That will be 2.0 though.) As for the album/performance itself, which clearly has sparked some very polarizing views, I enjoy it a lot. I have done a number of runs to the music, and it works great in that setting (obviously, not the best acoustic experience that way). I've listened on my 2.1 set up at my computer, and that has been great. The Star Wars main title issue bothers me because it is pretty obvious. I heard the ET issue, but that feels wrong based on memory vs. on what is being played. I like Rebellion is Reborn in this format for the reasons of hearing the instrumentation. Raiders is enjoyable mostly because ASM is enjoying it (but I think David Newman was much faster in tempo with her in Munich last September on the same piece). I would rank this higher than the Dudamel, but perhaps not as high as the Spielberg/Williams 3. I think its on par with the Lockhart but that is so hard to compare because Lockhart focused on lesser played tracks. I'm so glad he did, because it's great to have those recorded. Addendum: It still gives me a thrill to see John Williams on the gold label. And he did genuinely look pleased to be able to play with the Vienna Philharmonic.

  7. I'm not sure about that since this movie doesn't use establishing shots very often just to pass time (there are two, maybe three instances; the sequel has plenty though). Usually it's the way it's cut now where even if the shot starts static, the action rolls in quickly. This was my approximation. But I'm a little doubtful that I got it right since the flutes obviously collide with Hermione.

  8. With all the lash back on the John Williams in Vienna concert release, I thought it would be nice if such a concert were to be reprised again in Vienna or Europe. I thought it would be nice to see if we could come up with ‘our own’ idealized version of what a Williams Concert program be like. So, feel free to make your own and add to the post here. (But just ensure that the Concert Program should be well balanced. We can’t have all the exciting adventures cues back to back. There should be a breather in between those with slower or lighter cues) Here is mine: 1. Liberty Fanfare 2. Young Indy’s First Adventure from The Last Crusade 3. Harry’s Wondrous World from Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone 4. ‘March’ from Superman 5. With Malice Toward None from Lincoln 6. March from Raiders of the Lost Ark 7. Dartmoor, 1912 from War Horse 8. Theme from Jurassic Park 9. Victor’s Tale from The Terminal 10. Barrel Chase from Jaws 11. Han Solo and The Princess (Revised) from The Empire Strikes Back 12. The Imperial March from The Empire Strikes Back. 13. Theme from Schindler’s List 14. Throne Room and Finale from Star Wars

  10. CD arrived from Amazon on Saturday. Such a historic event and I'm so happy about it as a fan and amazed at the achievement, even if by the time I got down to listening to the music I had a hard time not comparing it to everything that's come before especially recently with the Dudamel and Mutter releases. As a general response. And having that composer/musician perfectionist response (i.e. wasn't there time to retake all the mistakes?). And if I'm being honest, having that biased reaction in hearing American music performed by continental European orchestras, no matter how great or interconnected with the repertoire style-wise, still not quite an ideal fit. Shouldn't really matter on this occasion, right? The trick is to take what is a nostalgic viewpoint on all of these classic gems and get into the moment. Still, the editing out of nuanced transitions, retouching of details here and there and adding concert endings compared to the recordings during the film scoring sessions inevitably throw me off, no less now than in the 80s or 90s, etc. All that said, I'm still chiming in to say "Bravo, Maestro." I really appreciate the noise free presentation, and the sound of the orchestra and the hall is quite superb. (I was listening to the maestro's music on a tuned audiophile system starting in 1980 so I've been paying close attention a long time!) I really heard those echoes of Korngold in Hook. I was most moved by CE3K and Luke and Leia. The Imperial March was *impressive* and both it and the Raiders March were suitably stately. Looking forward to watching the video at some point. Oh, and was an HQ square cover image for the CD posted anywhere?

  12. I'm curious about your thoughts after listening to it! I realize how much I've neglected this thread, so I have some belated updates to share... first, we followed up our lengthy conversation with Neil S. Bulk with an even lengthier conversation with Chris Malone, our longest episode to date (we didn't split this one because there wasn't a good splitting point, but trust me, it flies by!) https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/4802774-odyssey-interviews-chris-malone (This is Chris with Eric Tomlinson, who recorded many Goldsmith scores, including Tora! Tora! Tora!, Ransom, Take a Hard Ride, The Omen, High Velocity, Damien: Omen II, The Boys from Brazil, Alien, Caboblanco, Outland, Night Crossing, Supergirl...) And in his Gold Nugget series, Jens had a conversation with Bryan Erdy, who among other things talks about the ballet set to Goldsmith's score to Capricorn One: https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/4163672-gold-nugget-7-dropped-names-with-bryan-erdy And finally, this past weekend we released the first in a new series called Soundtrack Spotlight. For this one (just half an hour!) I'm joined by Doug and Roger of Intrada to talk about their new release of The Don Is Dead, with generous sound samples: https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/5097955-odyssey-soundtrack-spotlight-the-don-is-dead-1973 @karelm @Brundlefly @Display Name @TownerFan @Mr. Breathmask @Faleel J.M. @El Jefe @Modest Expectations @Laserschwert @publicist @BrotherSound @Modest Expectations @Jay @Stefancos @Jurassic Shark @Disco Stu let me know what you think!

  21. I'm not disputing the potential of the technology. I think it's great that something like this is possible, but even now it's unrefined and stands out. I think we're still a few years out from achieving perfect photorealism with this. I admire creativity by means of solving problems with practical effects and using CG where appropriate, as opposed to the smattering of Hollywood blockbusters that have produced films in the last twenty years smothered in CGI that will be dated in only a few years. I was watching Aquaman the other day and couldn't believe how glossy and fake everything looked, even when filming something as simple as an exterior shot. Believe me, as someone who loves Tron Legacy, I love when CG is developed in such a way that it congeals with the aesthetic and art direction of a film, and I know how many hours are poured into producing CG imagery, models, textures, rigs and everything that artistry entails. It's just that it's fallen into a rut where the technology started off pioneering visual design and then was quickly exploited by studios as a means of working around costly set production.

  22. I happen to think his work on The Silence of the Lambs is wonderful. Not just the unobtrusive minimalism and effortlessness with which he sets-up an eerie atmosphere (the ending is not a bad example of this), but also the lyricism of the writing for Clarice. Marvellous.

  34. Quite frankly, I am shocked. SHOCKED. That "Shawm" didn't make this list. In actual commentary, I'd love to have "Rey Crashes the Party". We really need some good Star Wars expansions.

  35. I gave in and listened to SW Main Title while waiting for the blu to arrive, possibly for a month+, it seems. And... that flub/sync error is pretty nasty, otherwise it's fine. I have a feeling it'll all work a lot better with the footage on blu as an "event" recording than just as another standalone album of more great-to-not-ideal recordings.

  36. Hi everyone! First, we want to thank everyone so much for listening to Goblet of Fire over the last several months! Initially, this was just a project for ourselves that we did for fun, so it was icing on the cake when we shared it and found that others are enjoying it too. Thank you! With Goblet behind us, we will be continuing to post more that we’re working on for anyone who’s interested in forthcoming projects. Many small ones will be happening, but we do want to officially announce a big one that we think you will be excited about too. Starting September 6th, we will begin releasing cues for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! Many of you in the comments and in private messages have expressed interest in seeing where this project would go beyond Goblet of Fire, and we were so happy to hear that. We’re in the same boat! To give a little backstage information, Goblet of Fire was done completely with Finale Notepad MIDI, which was then edited and smoothed out to make it sound a little less primitive. The sound wasn’t great, but it was all we had to work with. For Order, we now have access to improved sample libraries! This new score will sound leaps and bounds better than Goblet now that we have proper equipment, and we’re looking forward to hearing the end results as much as you all. Our approach to this will be the same idea/vision as Goblet of Fire: maintaining JW’s writing style while continuing the thematic tapestry created for the first three films. The score for OOTP will differ stylistically from GOF though, due to the content of the film. Where GOF more heavily reflected the first two movies, OOTP has more of an equal split between the 3 scores (and new content of course), and in some ways leans into the POA style of writing more than before. With the return of Sirius Black as a key character, this movie is the emotional answer to POA, and we approached the score in a way that reflects that. We’re so excited to begin sharing on September 6th!

  37. The first 2/3 seems to sync up flawlessly to the film! It appears there weren't many edits to the scene itself until toward the end when the music completely desyncs. I cut that part out considering it was just a huge mess. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FW_DfbFcBHdy8X1LrpIW6fUKWl4IINyp/view

  38. Here's the original composition of The Speeder Chase cue before it was cut to pieces. It's over four and a half minutes long. (Edit: corrected bass note at 1:49)

  39. Modern Zimmer sucks so much that there is nothing to criticise.

  40. I love to relax naked, sipping a nice aged scotch and listening to "The Temple of Doom" track.

  41. I love the final statement in the scene where they reunite. Both victory and friendship themes have this fairy tale ending feel that give this score a sense of finality. Something that Return of the Jedi never really gave us. Karol

  42. I gotta say, that We Go Together theme gets me every time, still, to this day. I feel like I'm the only one who's legitimately emotionally moved by it, which says something considering I felt nothing at all for the film itself. Just the music alone does it.

  45. Definitely The Lost World: Jurassic Park. It's better than everything.

  46. I really like Zimmer, but I liked almost nothing in his Man of Steel and BvS scores. What I did really like was his Wonder Woman material from BvS (although I think Elfman did better by that riff in Justice League), so maybe this will be interesting. Plus, the 80s setting means that maybe Zimmer can do something fun and weird, if he's given loose reins.
