The Force Awakens The Force Awakens For Your Consideration (FYC) Album
mbrannon47 replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Does anyone know if the FYC includes the transitional cue featured when they're walking across the snow? -

Any link to this music? Would love to listen and compare! -
The Force Awakens The Force Awakens SCORE Discussion (Film Spoilers Allowed)
mbrannon47 replied to Thor's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Is this on the album? -
Possible Music & Video from The Force Awakens (combined Comic-Con Reel & 60 Minutes Clip) I noticed something when listening to Abrams sing the melody to Williams. See the video I posted here: [removed] I wrote this out in the YouTube description, but pasted it below for discussion: CBS Evening News just uploaded a segment on Star Wars: The Force Awakens (https://youtu.be/lxzUEl0loU8?t=1m at about 1:00) in which a new transitional theme is played by the orchestra under the direction of John Williams. Later in that same video (at 1:35), J.J. Abrams makes a note about a cue he hums, which sounds very similar to the music we saw at 1:00. (Though he sings it in the same key, it seems Abrams leaves out two eighth notes). Abrams' notes on the cue seem to indicate the passage will be associated with "the interior of the transport." One possible shot that lines up with this has already been shared during Comic-Con, with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Comic-Con 2015 Reel (https://youtu.be/CTNJ51ghzdY?t=50s at :50). The chances of this lining up in the actual film are slim, but the style and the timing seem to line up. It's nearly impossible to tell, and it could be completely wrong, but it's fun to guess! Edit: Well, I received a takedown notice so the video is no longer available.

What film score theme/melody is going through your head right now?
mbrannon47 replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
The lyrical theme from Nixon. Just discovered this score this weekend. Beautiful and brilliant. Such a simple progression. Beautiful. http://youtu.be/YuCP11WAyz8?t=60s -
Williams writes "Great Performances" TV Theme

Does anyone know where I may find this? -
There's a high quality version over at www.networknewsmusic.com! Victor has so much great stuff put together. Great site. http://www.networknewsmusic.com/wp/before-hours-close-the-mission-part-ii/ Only think no one can seem to find is the NEW Meet The Press theme (2011 onward).

Williams writes "Great Performances" TV Theme
mbrannon47 replied to TownerFan's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
This is the one! Thor sent me a version that's somewhat similar (maybe from credits?) but we still can't find a full version of the recording in the link you've put here. The best we have is the opening as seen in this video (and others like it) which abruptly cut off. :/ -
Williams writes "Great Performances" TV Theme
mbrannon47 replied to TownerFan's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Not much. As far as I know, it hasn't had an official album recording. But it can be found multiple places, usually attached to the images. When you say attached to the images, do you mean played at the beginning of Great Performances? If that's the case, only the first 40-something seconds are listenable before it awkwardly and abruptly fades out. -

I've searched high and low and can't find a recording of this song ANYWHERE. Seems odd. What am I missing? -

Williams writes "Great Performances" TV Theme
mbrannon47 replied to TownerFan's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Back to revive this old thread...I've done some searching on the site and on Google and can't seem to find anything on this theme. You can hear about :40 of it at the beginning of every episode. Does anyone have a link or any info on the "Great Performances" theme? -
The Book Thief (2013) - New Williams film score!
mbrannon47 replied to scissorhands's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
From the Soundcloud clips, 0:33 into the sample of Rudy Is Taken is VERY similar to Arlington from JFK starting at around 1:14 and especially around 2:30 Soundcloud clip of Rudy is Taken from The Book Theif: https://soundcloud.com/sony-soundtracks/rudy-is-taken-by-john?in=sony-soundtracks/sets/the-book-thief-ost YouTube clip of Arlington from JFK: -
A false ending is in no way required to be a deceptive cadence. Also, none of the examples people have cited as false endings use a deceptive cadence. Great video, though. Other Williams false endings would be "The Dance of the Witches/End Credits" from The Witches of Eastwick, "Summon the Heroes", "Catch Me if You Can (Reprise and End Credits)", "End Titles" from Dracula, "End Credits" from E.T. (this is an example of arriving on a deceptive cadence when coming from trumpets playing the 3rd of a V chord), "End Title" from Home Alone and Home Alone 2, "Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra" from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (though this can be argued), and "The Carriage Ride to Thornfield" from Jane Eyre. It can be argued that "The Lost World" and "Across the Stars" follow similar patterns. There are many, many more, but these stand out as the most memorable.
