Perhaps the orchestra version was done for the recording.

I thought Tom mentioned that the new 1st mvt ending was done specifically for this recording, but I could be mistaken.

Interesting. Name doesn’t ring a bell. The reason for the 1st and 2nd movement being 1 track, is that in this unrevised version, the 2 are connected without a break. Williams revised the ending of the first movement specifically for the Tom Hooten recording.

Thanks for the info! I’m going to a trumpet festival in LA in July, where Tom Hooten will be performing his concerto at the Hollywood Bowl. It sure would be great to see him there. But I’m guessing he’ll be in Tanglewood during that time.

Anyone knows what was the ceremony Williams was attending when he made those comments?

On the Hollywood bowl event calendar, Dudamel is listed as conductor. No program though. Except that we know the concerto for trumpet will be performed. My gut feeling tells me there will be more Williams on this concert. It’s a trumpet summit after all. I decided to skip Tanglewood this year, and go there instead. It’ll be fun to hang out with other trumpet players, and listen to fantastic concerts.

The spring pops season is available to view here http://bso.http.internapcdn.net/bso/images/groups/SPOPS20_Groups_Brochure.pdf It looks like no film night, but a SW concert in June. Not sure if it’s the whole season. Seems to not have been officially announced yet.

Personally I would choose Film night.

That’s really cool!

We performed HPSS last month, and it was all synths. Maybe they don’t always do it the same way.

Totally agree. The mixing on this score is much better than the previous sequels. The orchestra sounds great, and it’s really showing the orchestration in a much better light. TFA was pretty bad on that aspect. TLJ was somewhat better.

Sorry, I should have realized this. But I wasn't really concerned about the movie part...I actually don't even remember who that character is.

Didn’t see it posted yet. https://variety.com/2019/music/production/john-williams-star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-1203446034/
