  1. This is gonna be a nice one to look at!
  2. When can we expect The Dark Knight Rises vs. Rise of Skywalker vs. Rise of the Guardians vs. Rise of the Planet of the Apes vs. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra vs. Underworld: Rise of the Lychans vs. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer?
  3. I remember when he was credited with adapting William Ross's adaptations on Chamber of Secrets. It was a credit William Ross insisted on from the beginning. It was printed really small on the inside of the booklet.
  4. Troy is so great! As long as you cut it off before the song, it's one of the best examples of an ideal OST "listening experience" that I can think of.
  5. There's no doubt in my mind that Williams was given Haab's music and he chose to use some of the ideas therein. In the TROS examples, it's nothing new, since we've all heard plenty of cases of "temp track love" in other Williams scores. And the elements of Haab's music that Williams used were just small moments. Adventures of Han is a surprise, because Williams was assigned to write the main theme for the film, and that was his main contribution to that score. Williams wrote a whole composition with plenty of significant ideas of his own, but the piece of it that came from Haab's music was integral to the Williams composition. And then by extension Haab's idea appeared throughout the score in variations by Powell. Definitely a more extensive example of musical "borrowing" than what we're used to.
  6. It's one of his most savage pieces I can think of, along with the track "The Temple of Doom". There aren't many I'd put in that category.
  7. The title "Harry's Wondrous World" is probably more a title meant for the compilation of themes in the concert suite, rather than for any of the specific themes therein. Like "The Rebellion Is Reborn." It's not a bad title for the particular theme in question though, which seems to have only vague associations as used in the score. Haven't people also interpreted it as Harry's theme?
  8. I'm just voting for HP 1-8 because those are the ones I know. I hope somebody votes for Quidditch World Cup as the best Harry Potter score!
  9. Maybe we can dig through his twitter and get him cancelled? It might be the only way.
  10. Disagree! The tempo on the score version feels so rushed. I'm still fine to listen to it knowing the other one will come up in the children's suite, but if you were going to pick just one...
