I doubt Williams is consciously approaching every score as if it could be his last. He's in excellent health and mentions in every interview how he hopes to keep scoring films for a long time. I've gotta disagree. From the standpoint of an artist, no matter how optimistic, there's bound to be some thought and consideration on what could be the last thing you say. -

It's about the how the whaleship Essex was sunk by a furious spermwhale which was being hunted down, and the crew survived in the open sea in just a long boat. It's a quite shocking story, involves a great deal of cannibalism. It was this event that inspired Melville on Moby Dick Oh I read that a number of years back. Fantastic! Oh yes, Guardians too for me definitely. -

War Horse, and I'll tell you why. The last bars of that score, with those pentatonic flute figures, approach divinity. There is a similar moment in The Peterson House and Finale on solo trumpet but it's slightly less striking. It's the sound of "passing into history" to me, if that makes any sense to you. As morbid as it may seem (and to me it seems far more poetic and beautiful than morbid), it feels like John is ending most of his scores now in a way that would be fitting as an... overall end as well. War Horse was the first one that made me feel like that. -

I watched it. I thought the fellow that won was rather odd. John probably wasn't even there; I think I saw Hans.

WOW. The mind palace scene was magnificent. Redbeard brought a tear to my eye. How can this get better? Ok fantastic episode. This break had better not be as long as the last.

That's usually really frustrating to me but for TBT it doesn't present much of a problem. I confess I've not seen the film. -

Exactly, I always saw the actual lighting as a fairly lengthy process. The thrilling portrayal just makes it seem fast.- 1,184 replies

The pipes work for me in the hushed opening of the film, and in the cue I posted at the end of the film. Also in The Legend Spreads. Some of their appearances during the battles could be trimmed though, probably. The string writing is gorgeous as you say, and quite Vaughan Williams inspired, with those warm fifths and sixths in the celli and basses and frequent divisi parts. -

I love the album version of that cue, with the Tchaikovski's Romeo and Juliet-like horn counterpoint. -

Production/library music - anyone else into this?
Code 000. Destruct. 0. replied to Richard P's topic in General Discussion
That's exactly why it rubs me the wrong way. It's the same for anything "stock". I know it's a practical/financial thing, but I just can't get into stuff that has no context, that's created just as generic material. I don't like the idea of farming out music when there are countless composers willing to write original music just for the credit. -
