Once

Well it's over, another year and another crushing disappointment. Somehow Williams losing this year felt much worse than all the other years he lost.

Amazing videos, that's so cool to see him jamming. It must have been quite a special experience for him. 
 
When Tracy Smith calls the Peter Gunn Theme a 'song', you can see on Johnny's face that he wants to show her that meme @Jay posts. 

 

Fun article from Variety.

I just saw this shared on social media. Very cool! Williams and Jones already performed the GUNN theme live in a Mancini tribute concert some 4-5 years ago, but gotta dig the line-up of this recording session for an actual new Mancinin tribute album. Just wish the videos of the recording session itself lasted longer.

You ain't a proper JW fan if you ain't diggin' CINDERELLA LIBERTY, man!

The only time anyone ever said that about Nixon 

I honestly think that the more MM goes through JW's catalog and presents him with these great presentations of his work, and he hears all the feedback about how well they are selling and how much his fans like them, he'll get more and more open to having Mike work on his older scores.  I'm not sure he'll ever change his mind on source music though, lol  
 
 
What bums me out more are the scores JW's done for which it seems the original scoring elements no longer exist on this earth.  Azkaban, Return of the Jedi's album day, ET's album day, Jaws' album session, Images, Fiddler on the Roof, Jane Eyre, The Reivers, Daddy's Gone A-Hunting, Heidi, The Plainsman, Screaming Woman....
 
Such a bummer to think those tapes existed for some limited amount of time, then just went missing or got destroyed.  Well, I guess you never know what will turn up in unusual spots

No new compositions I don't think, so this isn't a news thread. Just wanted to gush my excitement about seeing this wonderful catalogue of themes and concertos live. A once in a lifetime opportunity!
 
Included is the set list for the evening taken very poorly by me. I am not a photographer.
 

 
 

There's 3 things you can hear in the film that are not on the set. 
 
3 very minor, very short things.
 
 
1st up is "Shawm", a source music cue you can hear from 0:00-1:06 in this video (the score cue it overlaps with, heard from 0:44-end of the video, IS on the set)
 
 
 
Next up is a very short drum & tambourine passage that I can't find on youtube, but it plays after the Buckbeak scene and before the ghost knights bust through the stained glass window
 
And finally is a difference performance of the "Sir Cadogan" cue, where it was played at a slower tempo and there was drum and tambourine playing along with it.  You can hear it from 0:00-0:19 of this video
 
 
 
 
And then there is one piece of music that appeared in DVD bonus features but not the OST, LLL, or the film itself:  The original version of "Marge Points The Finger", which got replaced by a revision in the film, and that revision is what's on the LLL set. 
 
The original version is heard from 1:20-1:28 of this video
 
 
 
 
That's literally it in terms what what we know was recorded.
 
 
 
As for what might have been recorded, but we have no evidence of?  Well, there are at least SEVENTEEN things found in the sheet music  that we don't have recordings of.
 
You can see them all listed out in my google doc, at the bottom of the "Complete Cue List" tab

You will also find links in that section to videos in which mockups of those exclusive sheet music passages are synced to film footage

How about Story Of A Woman. It might not make as big a splash in the soundtrack community as the more recent movies such as The Patriot, Seven Years In Tibet, Nixon or JFK (all of which I’d be happy to see expanded), but It’d be a treasure for sure.

Oh September 2 is a Saturday, and I'm not too far away in Seoul. No idea how hard tickets will be to get, but I'll try! and I'm not working the week before.

What, he's going to Japan now?! Crazy with all these long-distance travels for a man who turns 91 tomorrow.

Yeah, the amount of unreleased music we know was recorded is pretty small. There's more stuff that was written, but it may never have been recorded.

Just tuned into WQXR to hear what turned out to be the ending applause of Anne-Sophie’s Carnegie Hall concert with the Virtuosi! Couldn’t make it tonight and didn’t know it was being broadcast. I imagine it’ll be available for streaming later and we’ll all get to hear these new arrangements. The commentators said she did a lot of gushing about Williams.
 
They also just interviewed her, and she mentioned Williams continuing to rewrite his themes for violin!

For fun, I "restored" the percussion in one bit of the Werewolf Scene from POA. It's in the sheet score, but apparently wasn't recorded (probably the sync would have been too difficult).

Just ordered this!
 

I wonder what Williams will say Anne-Sophie Mutter is…

She wrote on her Facebook that director, Sigrid Faltin, recorded interviews with Williams, among others.
 
I don't think it'll be widely distributed in cinemas around the world, but let's hope it hits some streaming platforms in the near future.
