The best part is that after doing it, he told Columbus "you need a better whistler than me for this", and he replied "I know, but if I have to read this joke one more time, you won't live to 89." (No, seriously, he said he wasn't very good, listen to the interview)

Made a mini-mockup of a small cue 3m23 No, No... No! from TFA. This cue is completely cut from the film, but some bits remain in one of the documentaries. The cue is intended for the scene where Rey and Finn are trying to fix the ship and Finn talks about "his" base. One interesting thing about this cue is the nice "quiet" use of the Pursuit theme in a slightly ironic context. There are at least two versions of this cue - but the "revised" version is a slightly abridged version of the original, adapted for new cut. Something like this would look like a scene with this music (here I used the "Revised" version, but I had to adapt some shots, since the cue was even shorter than the scene). And here is the original version separately, if anyone is interested. ragoz350 · TFA 3M23 No, No... No!

okay you know what, I ordered this as well. i had no interest in it at first (never seen the movie or listened to the score ---- and up until this announcement, probably couldn't pick out the main theme if it was played to me) but i'm sure one day i'll give it a listen and grow to love it. that's the good thing about having an honest backlog of scores to discover. also......it just feels weird not supporting these expansions. MM and company are crushing it.

I finished up my attempt just yesterday. I had wanted to do the Westworld one last time but never finished what I started.

He's inhabiting the role of Harry when he's whistling there! Harry would be a mediocre whistler for sure. Williams is a master whistle-actor. We can now say Harry is a character brought to life by Joe Pesci and John Williams.

Are Kari & Kyrin from the same part of the Appendices as Tauriel? I wonder if the guy playing Sauron will portray him as all brooding & angsty. Sort of like a doomed Kylo Ren, only without the shot at redemption. I bet they have him turn bad because Galadriel rejects him. Sauron: "Then she said, 'put a ring on it', and I took that personally".

It's really cool but my brain won't click onto how/where that is the Burglar theme or what part of it.

@Permanent WavesI did! I finished mine a week ago and I forgot to mention it here. I like your melding of electronics, sound design, and the orchestra. It sounds almost alien and distinctive. I did mine in a more traditional superhero style:

Mike Matessino just confirmed on the latest episode of Maurizio's podcast that this was in fact John Williams himself whistling the villain theme!

Indeed - usually, I’d suggest, because the composer won’t be a specialist in the relevant discipline so will have to write, on a synth part for example, ‘ominous whooshing tone’ rather than ‘double oscillators detuned with mild flanging, heavy phaser and 30% white noise’. With a bit of discussion and context, an experienced programmer/player would have little difficulty translating the former into the latter. Mark

KRULL came right in the middle of (for me) Horner's golden period. In the space of 4 1/2 years, he composed (among others) ST II, BRAINSTORM, GORKY PARK, this, ST III, ALIENS, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, and COCOON, culminating with his masterpiece THE NAME OF THE ROSE. Our James could do no wrong. 4/5. PS, I'm not going to reveal how much I paid for the 2-CD set, in '98. Let's just say that I've been hopping around, ever since, and that I now wipe my bum with my left hand.

Rather than just post "Ordered!" Here is Co-Star Candice Rialson to say that "Hedji Ordered"

Nice work! It’s a fun variation of the Finn/chase material, and when an expansion finally comes out, I’m sure our great-great-grandchildren will enjoy it very much. 🤷‍♂️ Just wanted to link to the bit of the cue that’s leaked:

And we're missing the twinkle stinger when Harry the policeman winks at Kevin and his golden tooth flashes early in the movie.

You won't regret those! The River is my most-listened to album last year. Pleasant surprise seeing as I'd never heard of the score until Mike expanded it.

I can't remember. It's like with Star Wars episodes...

你很快就会知道的。 Nǐ hěn kuài jiù huì zhīdào de. No, I don't speak Chinese, but this translates to "You will know soon enough."

I figured the ones I did not name were not by the Maestro, except of course 0:00 to 0:40. Still, everything blended pretty well together. Though, the Maestro's music blended especially well together; that segue from his arrangement of "Bugler's Dream" to Olympic Theme for example!

0:00 to 0:40! Never heard that before! Wow!

@crumbs @Holko ?

I'm going to see the maestro for the first time in concert. He could even play some Balfe's scores that I would be in heaven!!! My program would be something like that with no peculiar order (I leave this to better hand than mine): Theme from Superman 4 Selections from Star Wars (Rey's Theme, Across the Stars, The Rise of Skywalker, The Rebel Fleet/End Title) 2 selections from Indiana Jones (The Basket Game, Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra) 3 selections from Harry Potter (A Window to the Past, Buckbeak's Flight, Harry Wonderous World) The Dialogue from CE3K Adventures on Earth from E.T. The Lost World Jaws: Main Title and some more rare stuff: The Key from How to Steel a Million Suite from The Post Jane Eyre Theme Sayuri's Theme Blood Moon from Images Hymn to the Fallen Abandonned in the Woods from A.I. Seven Years in Tibet Main Title from The Towering Inferno Dear Basketball

How long before someone declares the Home Alone ‘complete’ edition incomplete and totally unsatisfactory until it’s rereleased with this snippet included? Bonus points if it’s expressed in the form of furious rhetoric about how unforgivable the omission was and how their life will be unbearable until a properly Complete edition is released. Mark

He's a shy whistler

Did anyone else here write something for this? @superultramegaa? Here is my attempt:

Oh. Nitpick time: in the samples' metadata, the artist is "John WIlliams". Someone forgot to release shift in time. And someone forgot to double check.

We already do.

He is very nice yes. I would glady be employed as "CD tester" by LLL, Intrada, LLL, etc... XD Why there is not a job for that?

Criterion just announced their first six 4K titles via their email newsletter: Citizen Kane Menace II Society The Piano Mulholland Drive The Red Shoes A Hard Day’s Night

I’m glad I waited to order mine.

Ok I'll wait further instructions, you can continue to speak chinese.

Below are the comments I had included for my YouTube upload, which gives the names of the musical selections. The only selections which haven’t been released commercially are the “bells” arrangement of “Bugler’s Dream” (presumably by Williams) and “Contemporary Tease”. The two middle selections are not by Williams and are available on the respective commercial releases of the scores.

My guess would be it’s a new name for Tribute to the Film Composer.

Crap, it's an exact tie between Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Wtf am I supposed to vote for?! I guess I'll have to go with Atlantis. A bit more "grand" and thematic I suppose. It's very, very, very close for me though.

Yes, let's hope there won't be too many redundances with Vienna ! Maybe Star Wars Main Title swapped with Throne Room. I'd like to hear Rey's Theme too.

Classic JWFan! But it is a little sloppy not to take into consideration that some of the tracks on the OST were meant to play gaplessly. Although most of us are primarily going to listen to this stuff in digital form and can certainly fix some of these pesky little things, the point is that we should not have to and that these kind of things should be taken into consideration when they are producing these sets.

I think his primary promise is still in the very heavy melodic romantic chromatic sound. Both in the main theme of LLL (the non song main theme) and the main theme of First Man, there is this almost throwback quality like a John Barry style grand romantic theme. He really is quite excellent at it. That is why I think he's begging to score a Bond in the Barry mode. I mean he would just totally kill it. I imagine he will do very well with Chazelle's Babylon as well. That is literally based in golden hollywood and would very well support a big lush romantic melodic symphonic orchestral score.

I think it's just that the old LP was 36 minutes, and the new main program is 75 minutes, so people think "oh, 36 minutes was released before and 39 minutes is previously unreleased, ok I'll round up and say 40 minutes of unreleased music". Or something like that. But the truth is the new release is 2 hours and 8 minutes long and only 36 of that has ever been released before. And only 3/5s or so of what has not can even be heard in the film itself, leaving a huge portion of music being released here that few people on earth had ever heard in the past 46 years.

Thanks for discovering those back in the day, @Ollie!! FYI, other versions of "Summon the Heroes" can be found on the following "radio edit" CD that I picked up several years ago: However, to the best of my knowledge, these versions are merely edited down from the original longer recording of the piece. And there are these three versions found on http://www.televisiontunes.com (the names given are taken directly from the site and are not mine), which seem to have some unique endings/edits: "NBC Olympics - 2008 - Main Theme - Theme Song" (4:00) http://www.televisiontunes.com/NBC_Olympics_-_2008_-_Main_Theme.html http://www.televisiontunes.com/uploads/audio/NBC Olympics - 2008 - Main Theme.mp3 "NBC Olympics - 2008 - Olympic Bumper - Theme Song" (0:32) http://www.televisiontunes.com/NBC_Olympics_-_2008_-_Olympic_Bumper.html http://www.televisiontunes.com/uploads/audio/NBC Olympics - 2008 - Olympic Bumper.mp3 "NBC Olympics - 2008 - Olympic Summon - Theme Song" (0:57) http://www.televisiontunes.com/NBC_Olympics_-_2008_-_Olympic_Summon.html http://www.televisiontunes.com/uploads/audio/NBC Olympics - 2008 - Olympic Summon.mp3 And of course there's the "short version" (3:39) that appeared on "The Sound of Glory" (the European version of "Summon the Heroes" CD): Yes!! Remind me which one that is again, @King Mark!! Yes, the "bells" version, as we've referred to it at times, heard in the first 40 seconds of my YouTube upload (along with OF&T, "The Hanging" from Goldsmith's Bad Girls, "Finale" from Edelman's Dragonheart, "Contemporary Tease", and "Summon the Heroes"): And coincidentally, the "The President's Own" US Marine Band just posted their performance of "Summon the Heroes" from June 27, 2021 to their YouTube page:

Helpful: yes Remaining three movements: yes, please.

Intrada Records was kind enough to let JWFan premiere the tracklist, a sample track, and a preview of Jon Burlingame's liner notes and Kay Marshall's artwork. Check it out! https://www.jwfan.com/?p=13427

How's this?

Some Rouse.

The Green Knight That was indeed, very good. It's been about a year since I've been to the cinema and that was for the awful Tenet. So it was nice to come back to a journey film that actually feels complete and full. If you were to tackle a contemporary retelling of an Arthurian legend, Lowery's take is probably the way to do it. The cynics and traditionalists might scoff at it, for it is abundant in style. But ultimately, very much grounded in its earnestness. This is a story about how Gawain finds his courage, and it takes that task seriously. It probes the tropes and trappings of the Arthurian legend without ever getting stuck up its own arse about it, or undercutting its stakes in a fourth-wall meta-way (I'm looking at you Marvel). It is a slow burn, but it is very evocative and leaves you with many compelling images and ideas going out of the theatre. The only place where you feel the whole film sort of stop is the chapter with the castle, but then it jumps back from it. Dev Patel is a great leading man, the production design is impeccable and the visual composition is often beautiful (shaky VFX giants aside...). Amazon LOTR...please take notes. Daniel Hart's score, with its chromatic medieval choral clusters, folk song and string bariolages do a great job enriching the tapestry of the whole thing. 'Twas was a good night. Have I sufficiently overhyped it enough for you guys yet?

So, I've been curious about how the Oracle would have fit into the Mustafar scenes. There's actually two quite different versions of the scene in the novelizations: the Rae Carson novelization has a longer version featuring Hux and Pryde and with more dialog between the Oracle and Kylo, and Kylo wades into the pond the Oracle appears in to find the Wayfinder on some kind of island or platform in the middle. In the junior novelization, the Oracle talks to Kylo, but he never says a word in return. The Wayfinder is instead in Vader's castle or at least the ruins of it. There's also a confrontation between Kylo and his stormtroopers and the cultists before the battle breaks out. I'm basing this restoration on the junior novelization version, since it seems to fit better with the unused music. I believe the majority of this music is 1M15 Vader's Castle, though at least some of it is from a cue mysteriously called Ready to be a Jedi! However, I believe a different cue, 1M6 Ren's Entrance, may have scored a longer version similar to the Carson novelization. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H4tkHtAcCdB5-ZPmA57K7wh9-z1f_lNO/view?usp=sharing
