Mr. Who

Damn his Nagini stuff is sensational. Those ultra-low Woodwinds! What a piece. A mixture of a tragic opera with gothic horror, all wrapped around a circus theme. 
 
 

Most of the rejected themes were for the opening logos. He did a whole presentation on it at a composer talk I attended last year, where he played video and audio examples of how he settled on the opening logo music. The main 5 or so themes he wrote for the film were used in countless different ways over the opening logos, but Yates kept saying, quote: "that's nice, but it's not the one."
 
JNH tried to use his main theme, his healing theme, the love theme, Newt's adventure theme, Kowalski's theme etc, and they all were rejected for the opening. But he of course used them for their respective characters and meaning elsewhere in the film, but eventually they agreed on that punchy Motif for Grindelwald as you see the Fantastic Beasts logo and through the opening sequence.
 

hey I got it. If these things aren't released on Black friday you can do the entire scores in moick ups

I’m Swedish and this is a great choice. The first movie in the series is a classic!

Yes I am. 
Agreed. I love the first 4 Sällskapsresan films (and scores). 

Thin Red Line I know for a fact will be. I heard people saying Superman and Schindler's List would be so I just rolled along with it. Lol.

The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975) is a classic Norwegian stop motion puppet film. It's the most seen film at Norwegian cinemas, and has a fun score by the Dane Bent Fabricius-Bjerre.
 
 
"Incidentally", the climactic car race is quite reminiscent of the pod race in TPM.  Here's the trailer, in glorious Norwegian!
 
 

Haha of course. But my point is that these people wouldn't be humming Marge's Waltz any more than they would be humming Lily's theme.

The next four Avatar movies will have unique titles

I would say the very average person only knows Hedwig's theme, not who composed it or in which movie it appeared first. They would just say the Harry Potter theme or "Harry Potter song".

Or they could announce it at ANY second 

Darn now the sessions are worthless!!

In the Titanic commentary, Cameron says that he loved the piano cue Horner wrote but that the demo performance worked so well in the film that he didn't want to have a re-recorded version of it. For that particular scene, the demo performance works so well and I don't think a re-recording would have worked as well.
 
As for why LLL included all those OST versions on disc 1 and labeled film versions as "alternate", I get why they did it, but I would have preferred that they put the film version of southampton and the alt mix of Rose etc on disc 1 instead of the OST versions.

The parameters are so wide, I wouldn't know where to start or stop (this is a particular favourite "genre" of mine). But I could easily rattle off a dozen or so Hans Zimmer scores in this idiom alone, which IMO are the pinnacle of this particular approach.

Actually more than 5 hours! Many different and early versions of cues. Also pieces that weren't in the movie or that later on became cues.

Apparently a "multi-disc" 20th anniversary edition of The Thin Red Line by Zimmer has been mastered - could it be a LLL Black Friday title?  Doesn't seem like Varese or intrada territory.

Another way to put this, anyone can count beats. In about 10 seconds, a performer will know if they should ignore you because you are adding nothing useful to their performance.  Almost all film conducting falls in to this category.  For example, I've seen a session where a very prominent composer cued a player incorrectly.  The player looked directly at the "conductor" (which they interpreted as acknowledgement) and then proceeded to come in at the correct time rather then when cued.  So the music sounded fine and the conductor was waving away.  If this conductor wasn't there at all, the music would have sounded the same...perhaps better.  What the performers are hoping for is some guidance and leadership in terms of how the music should be phrased and interpreted beyond the basic notes and rhythm.  That is where something special and more magical might happen.  It is hard to explain but is more than rhythm and cuing which is the very basic level of conducting. It is knowing when to back off and let the musicians perform without standing in the way (Leonard Bernstein did this frequently in fact there are excellent performances of his "conducting" where he is only shrugging his shoulders because he has made the judgement to stand back and let the musicians perform and anything he does will get in the way).  Similarly, there are moments where there is a fine solo and the conductor might stand down to the soloist and "interfere" when the orchestra joins.  Conducting is really more like directing a film though with an ensemble of performers.  This requires experience to be good at it.  Conductors get that experience because that is their primary focus.  So if you are a composer, sure you can stand in front of an orchestra and wave hands and a great orchestra will still sound great.  But a great conductor will focus on this skill and really be good at it.  It is far smarter for a composer to rely on a specialist conductor if the composer/conductor is just doing the rudimentary level tasks.
 
So for me, I don't care at all if the composer also conducted the soundtrack recording if they aren't especially experienced at it.  Brian Tyler is a horrible conductor (pretty much a pop conductor) doing nothing more than swinging his arms and acting dramatic and the orchestra will ignore him.  So if you see Composed and Conducted by Brian Tyler, what value is that?   I just mention him because I vividly remember seeing how useless his conducting was but don't mean to single him out.  I have also performed in orchestras during conducting workshops where we have conductors of various levels.  Even if we know how the music should sound, if the conductor doesn't have skill, it is noticeable.  We sounded very lackluster with some students on Beethoven Symphony No. 5, the conductor told the students, "No, you must be forceful like this..." and with the very same music we sounded amazing and intense, couldn't stop because of the focused momentum that was lacking from the previous conductor.  The very same notes came to life.
 
In addition to all of this is rehearsal skill is very important.  I think JW is excellent at this.  It is another way of saying you know how to hone and fine tune a performance in the most efficient way.  This is actually a uniquely psychological skill.  For example, some conductors might say "brass, play this section louder" whereas John Williams might say "trumpets, this is your moment".  They are basically saying the same thing but one will sound better...more like a performance.
 

I would recommend nine months as well!

Last jedi is nowhere near as good a score as TFA is.

Agreed. Complaining about too long albums while at the same time asking for expansions is weird. This isn’t a score I will listen to outside the movie but it’s still a good thing that a lot of the music gets released.
