Beautiful first cue! Definitely reminds me of Little Women. The main theme is a real earworm.

Very excited for this. Track list has some nice long cues!

The MacFarlane/Gillies album is wonderful. Have given it several listens since it came out. On a slightly different note, this is a lovely festive piece I recently discovered: Both majestic and brimming with warmth.

Where is this Raider's March variation from? Jungle Chase?

Ah just remembered this one too.

Is this the most comprehensive list of citations to other scores anyone has made so far? @Jay

Having listened to the whole FYC several times: This is a beautiful score. Dial of Destiny probably still edges it out for my favorite score of the year, but Powell comes close. I love how it's clearly in Powell's animated style but at the same time feels fresh. "Follow Me, But Not Too Close" might be the most gloriously, unabashedly optimistic cue I've heard in years. A wholesome, life-affirming score from start to finish.

Well, @Tydirium and @Falstaft, I think you've convinced me regarding "Tuk Tuk Chase." Thanks for the explanations! Based on everything said above, I guess the most likely situation has to be temp track emulation (hard for me to imagine Williams or Ross deciding on their own to quote music from, e.g., AOTC...). I fully agree with @oierem that this is all incredibly perplexing -- it's so bizarre to imagine Williams and/or Ross digging through old scores to try to match the temp track, with slight alterations. I think that was part of what initially led me to assume many of the "quotes" might be unintentional: the alternative (that someone actually took the effort to look at old scores, even non-IJ ones) seemed really strange. As noted in posts above, copying bars from other scores isn't all that unusual, but the way it was apparently done here is. E.g., in Rise of Skywalker, I recall that music editor Ramiro Belgardt suggested using a Yoda and the Force excerpt in the scene with Luke's ghost, so JW asked someone to find the original TESB sheet music and they just copied it exactly. The process here must have been quite different.

You may well be right, though what gives me some pause is that JW's action writing often contains very strong similarities to previous scores, even in cases where I highly doubt he was intentionally copying, e.g.: This seems plausible, although I wonder if they'd actually split up a four-minute scene in this manner.

I would be rather surprised if the unreleased portion of the Tuk-Tuk chase were composed by Ross. It's probably one of my favorite cues in the entire score. Ross is undoubtedly a very talented composer, but could he really have written action music that perfectly mimics Williams' classic sound? And while it's certainly true that some bits sound very similar to "The Conveyer Belt" from AoTC, I'm not entirely convinced it's an intentional lift.

This is wonderful to hear. Little Women is my all-time favorite Desplat score.

"Main Title" is gorgeous, as is "Model City."

Beautiful! Its quiet determination reminds me of Unbroken (although as one would expect this is a bit brighter in tone).

One small piece of good news, even though I know lots of us are really waiting for tickets: This concert will apparently be broadcast on radio, like the previous Carnegie one. It's listed here: https://www.carnegiehall.org/Explore/Watch-and-Listen/WQXR-Broadcasts

This great passage from Ravel perhaps influenced JW (or at least sounds similar):

Yeah it looked like they briefly made a few $500 tickets in Parquet available. Hopefully more to come (and at lower prices!). $500 for a concert-only ticket is way too expensive.

The good news, I guess, is that premium tickets were only for 1st and 2nd tier, IIRC. So premium tickets being sold out doesn't necessarily mean that the entire hall is sold out, or even close to sold out. (At least that's my hope.)

Wow! Will have to listen for it next time I watch the film.

Do we know if the "Escape to Nowhere" cue (which I admittedly don't remember from the film) was JW, or is it still just a guess?

Great to hear these snippets of unreleased music! Impressed by the sound quality.

No videos taken at the concerts at which this new version was performed?

How do you even think up something like this passage?!

3:30-3:45 Just discovered John Addison -- highly recommend. Surprised he isn't more widely known (maybe he is in Britain?).

Can't recommend this highly enough.

4:35 - 4:43 Walton is magnificent at his best.
