    Yeah, Making Star Wars has an exceptionally good track record. I think I read once in an interview with the editor-in-chief, Jason Ward, that they only post info that's been confirmed by multiple sources. And even the stuff they post that doesn't end up in the movie isn't usually wrong, because it was an early idea that just didn't make it into the final film. Making Star Wars is not speculation. It's solid reporting.

    I used to play violin, but the program I was in was focused on playing by ear, so letter note-names (A, E, etc.) and reading music in general were things that were touched on but never covered in detail.

    Have you heard War Horse? Because if you haven't, you should give it a listen.

    Not sure if people realized, but it's not that the AI bit I posted above generally sounded like the same type of stuff in the BFG premiere video; what I meant is it specifically sounded very similar to one of the BFG main themes, just for a few seconds. Specifically, 11:19 of the AI YouTube clip corresponds to 0:44 of loert's piano playing of the BFG score found here:

    Typically it is available on-demand on the WGBH website. But there's no guarantee that will be the case this year, although it seems likely.

    Is there any way for you to make them the same file type as all the other cues you've posted in the past months (which open fine)? Thanks so much by the way for all the cues you've posted. Between Jason LeBlanc's analysis and your film and documentary rips, this is probably the thread of the year! Is this something Fennel Ka has posted in this thread? Your description makes me really want to hear that cue, but I didn't get the Target version of the film (I got the Amazon digital), and I couldn't find the Target extras on YouTube.

    THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AT THE LINK BELOW. DO NOT CLICK IT IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SPOILED! A MakingStarWars.net report (I didn't use the actual link text because it might be considered a spoiler) This sounds really cool! DON'T CLICK ON THE HIDDEN TEXT BELOW EITHER IF YOU DON'T WANT A MAJOR SPOILER. (I'm being really cautious about spoilers here because I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone)

    Sounds like BFG there, am I right?

    By the way, terrific "The Falcon" transcription. It has all the spirit of the full orchestra version. I wish I played piano... Action music sounds really cool on piano, particularly a rhythmic masterpiece like "The Falcon," which, I must add, is growing on me as a cue every day. When the score came out I wasn't a huge fan, now I have it running through my head quite often. Finn's theme (or whatever it is; some disagree) is so good!
  10. Will
    That's actually kinda how I am. Although I don't know what all the symbols mean.
  11. Will
    I, for the record, cannot. (If another similar thread already exists, I apologize -- I did a cursory search and didn't find any such thread, but I could have missed it.)
  12. Will
    Same. I mean, I know some basic things about notes and rhythms, but nothing beyond that.

    Thanks so much for the concert review Jason!
  14. Will
    Me too.

    I didn't even know who John Williams was when the first War Horse trailer was released!

    I've been listening to Giacchino's Trek scores for the first time (I know, I know, but I'm new to film score fandom, okay?) and I'm really impressed. He's no Williams, but his action scoring can really be fun to listen to at times, like, say, in the STID opening scene. Although, some of Giacchino's middle-grade action stuff has the issue of emulating Williams to a degree but lacking the Williams "spirit," making those cues kind of boring.

    3:33-4:27 is probably one of my top five favorite Williams moments. It's so powerful, I get chills every time. And IMO both the bonding theme and the Dartmoor theme are absolutely five-star, incredible themes.
  18. Will
    Thanks! In response to the discussion of the possible sample library cue: That cue is just so good though, I'm having trouble coming to terms with it not being Williams... Hopefully we can get a definitive answer on whether this is him.
  19. Will
    Thanks! I keep watching the red carpet videos because the music is so good, but it's kind of brutal to listen to people repeatedly yell "Steven!" while you're trying to focus on the score. Yes! It looks absolutely gorgeous, rarely do films attempt to put such a bright explosion of varied color onto screen. Cool, I hadn't spotted that!
  20. Will
    Amen. Well, I'm not very knowledgeable about technical musical stuff so I have no idea what that means, but it sounds cool! I largely agree. The mickey-mousing is good, better than much of the non-Williams stuff these days, but it's nothing spectacular. But the long-lined statements that precede it...Very powerful and beautiful.
  21. Will
    Huh. I'll have to watch Building BB-8 again.
  22. Will
    Looks pretty good. But no Williams music.
  23. Will
    Well, I'm exiting the forums for the night, it's certainly been a fun day! Nothing like the premiere of a Williams score and Spielberg movie and reading the reviews. Hopefully by tomorrow we'll know whether the unknown bit is Williams (and hopefully it is!)
  24. Will
    Yes, it does, if it was the only piece they played I think I'd be a lot more confident in it being Williams. Seems strange that they'd just drop in a score cue in the middle of all that other stuff. Also, the possible Williams bit is very repetitive. Is it looping, or does the thing just meander along for almost 7 minutes? In any case, it is a beautiful emotional melody, no matter who wrote it.
  25. Will
    Yes! That's actually the first thing I thought when I heard the solo piano melody. Above is the full video of the BFG red carpet. Pop music and such is played until about 5:22, when it switches to "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saëns until about 6:07. Then the possible Williams music begins and continues until 12:49. It's not Carnival of the Animals, right? I clicked to a few points on that composition on YouTube, and none of them sounded like the possible Williams bit.
