That's the only good parking in the area. Walking up highland is easier than driving, it's a real mess, even more so during a bowl concert.

I personally would park in the garage for the hollywood and highland mall, it's really not a very long walk. I'll be walking since I'm staying at the Loews hotel in the hollywood and highland mall and then I'm picking up my grandparents at Belmont village, which is on the way.

I thought Sony classical held distribution rights of the music, or something like that.

Isn't there a horn flub that's not present in the film version?

Williams gives a loose description i.e. 'synth boob bam', 'sinister strings with slight phase', 'MIDI - Piano + Strings' etc. and Randy Kerber finds the sounds. Makes sense, although I wonder how he decides he wants synth for a specific part at all. How does he know what kinds of sounds are out there? For example, in HP, how did he know he wanted a synth celeste vs a real one? Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit, but it just seems a bit high-tech for his sensibilities. From what I've studied, one of the last scores Williams used a real celeste on was EMPIRE OF THE SUN. Around that time he must have been introduced to MIDI and digital sampler workstations such as the Emu Emulator series and the Ensoniq Mirage, since he even specifies a Mirage patch from a K-Muse hard disc called "2002 Voices" in a cue from THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK and writes "Xpander Vocal Sound" for a synth part in Cadillac of the Skies.That's very rare for him. Williams used a real Celeste in harry potter in the library scene. He used both synth Celestes and real ones in jurassic park and hook, but the synth one far more often.

Oh wow thanks, that sounds exactly like the jawbone from the score!

Well those originals can't be bought. They just aren't published.

Missouri breaks is limited to 1,200 copies.

Is the jawbone sampled/synthesized? Because its the same jawbone sound as in incident at isla nublar and that one is played by a synthesizer.

I thought the first cue recorded was chasm crossfire and then main title? According to the special edition liner notes and that pdf file from Chris Malone about recording the Star Wars saga.

Augurs great municipal band is not the emperors theme. I don't know where this myth came from, probably because they sound similar, but the intervals are completely different. It's not the melody slightly altered or transposed to major. It's just a different melody.

Is this the Disneyland version? I thought this was arranged by Michael Giacchino.

I don't think they used any master tapes for hook

Master tapes being available can make a big difference. They were avalaible for Star Trek, which sounds fantastic in my opinion.

Same with the two sections I pointed out in 6M5 Droid Battle, those two sections are definetely the same. It's just not like Williams to write two sections in one cue that are EXACTLY the same other than some dialed out percussion and tracked timpani notes.

No, it's been confirmed by Conrad Pope and sheet music that it was tracked.

When I met with Conrad Pope unfortunately he had just put all of his Star Wars music into storage earlier that week. He's working on organizing his library. What a huge disappointment that was! I don't think it was edited at the podium, you can hear hear a tiny hint of those woodwind runs at the end the first page but eyre mostly covered up by the tracked timpani and percussion.

You can see the sheet music by googling "droid battle sheet music." It's not a concert suite, it has a slate number. I've spoken to Conrad Pope himself, he orchestrated this cue by hand, and he confirmed this is the real version and the one heard in films and soundtracks is not. I don't know to what degree it is different but it is most definitely not the real 6M5 Droid Battle.

Well if this was a change before recording it would be like a 20 page insert which seems rather unlikely. To help prove my point, :23 to :36 is tracked from 1:48 to 2:01 with some percussion dialed out. It's probably not a concert piece but its definitely not the intended version

Speaking of droid battle, the cue heard on the soundtrack I don't think is the original version williams wrote. If you look at the sheet music from the Star Wars in concert display its obvious that after the introduction it's completely different except for one section that's heard later in the cue. The version on e soundtrack I think is possibly a concert version or an extremely well edited version of that cue, and possibly others.

Yeah I realized after looking further into the score, I thought eight was used more than just that one cue.

In the sketch for this is not a cave it clearly says eight horns

Williams used eight horns very frequently in TESB

5 is the main title from mikes new car

All the taikos were overdubbed, I don't know how many we're used. Sounds like at least three of slightly different sizes but all fairly large.
