It's still jarring any time I see a pic of JW without his black turtleneck even though he wears suit and tie all the time when conducting.

You all are putting more thought into TPM than George Lucas did when he wrote the script. -
DIAGON ALLEY TRACK MOVIE vs SOUNDTRACK ALBUM
artguy360 replied to ALEXANDRE P's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I have always felt that JW track titles are more of a suggestion of what scenes the music might accompany in the film, but just a suggestion.- 26 replies

Although a rarity, from time to time, JW has written music to score the trailer to films he's worked on. Other times, his music for the film is used in the trailer for said film. What do you consider to be the best and worst of the bunch? Not at all a hot take, the best has to be the HP1 teaser trailer: For me, runner up would be Nixon, the music truly does capture "the turbulent years": What are your picks? Which are the worst?

The mix is all over the place in the new "Remasters". Some of the tracks are hard to listen to. Thank god I have rips of all my old CDs still.

Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings" by Johan de Meij

I was listening to the album by the Amsterdam Wind Orchestra. -
Japanese Composer Arrangements
artguy360 replied to WilliamsStarShip2282's topic in General Discussion
I would definitely add some pieces by Shiro Sagisu, perhaps most well known for composing all the Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes and movies. He also did a great job with Shin Godzilla. -
Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings" by Johan de Meij
artguy360 replied to Jay's topic in Tolkien Central
I never knew this existed! Listening now. Very interesting to hear different musical interpretations of Gandalf and Gollum. -
I'm pretty sure JW himself thought of Irina's theme as a noir, femme fatale theme, something sexy, dark, and sensual (his own words) even if it doesn't fully fit her role in the film. I think her theme reflects those qualities.

I like the orchestrations and the mood/atmosphere of the piece. I think it makes use of a sax for a good bit. But the melody itself is a little too repetitive and kind of goes nowhere, not a lot of melodic development. In terms of a femme fatale golden age theme, I think Helena's theme is far better.

I wonder if those concert arrangements are basically what we hear in most of the prologue track. -

Funny how JW calls Thomas Newman Tommy Newman. -

One of my favorite musical moments from the score. So dark and powerful. -
What Makes Return of the Jedi sound the way that it does?
artguy360 replied to Bellosh's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
The SE release sounds good awful and others have already explained why. That said, the orchestrations for ROTJ are really cool, especially the use of choir and synth towards the end. -
Sony dedicates its music building to John Williams

I'm surprised this isn't on the JWFan front page.
