Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I have my next reading project covered.

I would put money on Helena’s theme.

Video of Superman march. Didn’t see it posted.

Thanks for reminding me to check Sheetmusic plus for it. And finally it was there, so I ordered a copy. https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-suite-for-orchestra-deluxe-score-22621443.html

Nice. Looking forward to read it.

I bought this set in the fall of 1994, at the Tower records store downtown NY while on tour with the Montreal Symphony. It was a total surprise as I wasn’t following anything soundtrack related at the time. I couldn’t wait for the tour to be over so I could go home and listen to it. I love this set.

There is absolutely no way in hell it's the same orchestra playing all the shows....Unless they have no union in Japan. But we have rules in our contracts that would prevent this from happening where i work. And most likely in any North American orchestra.

Did he not perform the little Rey theme bit on TROS? I know it's not much, but still cool he played it for the movie.

Where from?

The likely explanation is that the 5th player was assisting the first one. And also probably covering other parts of the section. To give other people a break.

Arghhhh I need to start saving now…going to be an expensive year @chrissiddall

As I own many of Chris’s releases I’m always excited to see what’s coming up.

Great podcast. Really enjoyed your insights @Jay

Bad news from Amy ‘Ah yes, they've got it listed as out 1-3 weeks....but they are getting it from Hal (Pepper is a major Hal Leonard dealer), and they are waiting like everyone else. Unfortunately, it's not going to be 1-3 weeks, as it's not even approved for press, yet. Sadly, this item is brand new, and isn't available to anyone at the moment. Thank you for the extra info! Amy

Here’s the reply I received Amy S. (Sheet Music Plus) Aug 7, 2023, 9:03 AM PDT Hello Sheet Music Plus is a division of Hal Leonard, so we should have everything that Hal Leonard, for the most-part. Looking at Hal's system, and also ours, the John Williams Signature Edition of Rise of Skywalker has not yet been approved for publication; from what I can tell, it can't even be preordered, yet. Can you find the item that you were looking at on the other Hal site, and send me the item number? I'm seeing the "Suite for Orchestra", score/parts as item 4492547. The stand-alone deluxe score is 4492548.

Just emailed sheetmusic to see when they were expecting to have it in stock.

Looks like you guys had an amazing evening. Those of you who went. I’m already starting to plan our trip to next year’s Film night. I’m positive the maestro will be in great shape!

It’s really cool that more recordings of the piece are being produced, but honestly I couldn’t be happier with the Hooten plays Williams recording. Especially that Williams himself is conducting. I’m very glad that Tom pushed for it and raised money to make this happen.

My little rendition of With Malice Toward None. Recorded back in 2020. https://youtu.be/1Oo6FaGbJQI oh yes, my orchestra has asked me to perform the piece with the orchestra next April as part of a movie music concert. Should be fun.

If I recall correctly this anecdote is actually very old. But still good. Donner was really enthusiastic about the score for sure.

If this is not a common(and very slow) chord progression, I don’t know what is. That being said, don’t get me wrong, Barber’s adagio is beautiful. I wish I could have performed it, but alas I’m only a 🎺 player 😃

Well, so far I was only able to hear a few seconds of it 🤣🤣 But honestly Barber’s adagio is really not that complicated a piece…pretty much just based on a scale…so yeah, anything that has 2 or more notes that are part of a scale might sound similar to it. Especially if played on strings.

I like your sense of humor

To celebrate the release of the last(maybe) Indy movie, I made a short arrangement of the Raiders march for my brass quintet. I figured it would be a relevant short piece to play for our school concerts or as an encore at a recital. I was inspired by the shortened version Williams played a few days ago. Don’t pay too much attention to my virtual brass quintet, although the NotePerformer software is really nice for the price. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kgiqb5e90py1vvvt0nezx/Raiders-March.wmv?dl=0&rlkey=ba9w6pz56vyrsgwe05vl1wcbt
