Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Justin Freer, conductor
Hilbert Circle Theatre. Indianapolis, IN
You've probably known it already, but I'm putting here for posterity.
The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is holding a raffle for a give-a-way of 5 copies from Varese's 2022 Deluxe Edition CD release of Goldsmith's RUDY score.
This promotion-notice comes 2 days before the label would officially announce the title of their new Deluxe Edition CD release on September 16, 2022

It is not an official album press release, but a friend of mine that is going to the RUDY LTP concert in Indianapolis tomorrow got this email today from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
This is the link to that CD from Varese's website, but it is not ready yet.
Stay tuned!
Edit: Here is the album cover that appears in the said orchestra's Facebook page.
Description of album content from that Facebook post: "This Deluxe Edition expands the sequence to 67 minutes and features new liner notes by Tim Greiving, who interviewed the real-life Rudy Ruettiger, writer Angelo Pizzo, director David Anspaugh and actor Sean Astin, as well as Get Out composer Michael Abels, who worked at the sessions. Archival comments by Goldsmith and contractor JoAnn Kane are also included."

...when you are in an aisle seat at an LTP concert and before the show you hope and pray that the hall has a technical malfunction with the projection and audio amplifiers so that the orchestra plays the film’s entire music score without the film, but you would settle for not hearing the dialogue and sound-effects track.

Come to think of it, it's not unlikely that they did that when they were preparing the score for the recording, because they probably learned from the original trilogy that it's a pain to go back to the original scores and adapt them to the film, with all the tempos and so on. So they probably did it directly, but Disney just hasn't come around the corner with TROS yet, for unknown reasons (the movie's recognition, probably). I asked this score copyist specifically about TROS, and he immediately mentioned the LTP score, so JKMS probably at least sent the LTP score to Disney, what happens to it then is more the mysterious thing....
I agree with that.
Just a theory, but it might be that the LTP concert-rental for TROS is already created, and that Disney-Concerts may be making it known to their clients--the orchestras that have been using their rentals over the years--before going public. I’m basing this on my observing the bookings of 2 other Disney-Concerts LTP rentals— ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Hocus Pocus’. I’ve noticed orchestras booking those two, but I’ve not seen the image-logo of these concerts in Disney-Concerts’ website. It was after some months have passed shortly before the first performances of these concerts that their image-logos began appearing in the renter's website.
Where I am, in the USA, the orchestra-concert season—covering September through August-- has started so the content for most of the orchestras’ schedules are finalized. No orchestras there, or anywhere—according to the Movies in Concert website—is doing TROS. If my theory is true, orchestras that may be interested in booking the TROS-LTP for the 2023-24 season may show up in their schedules during the first quarter of 2023. The first schedule I would look at in 2023 is from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, since they’ll be doing TLJ this May.

The LTP concerts of TFA and TLJ exist.
The LTP concert of TFA premiered in New York City, NY on October 6th, 2016. Coursey of the website, Movies in Concert, here is a list of venues that are playing that in the future.
QuoteThe LTP concert of TLJ premiered in October of 2019 in Tokyo Japan. So far that is the only orchestra that has used the rental.
The Toronto Symphony Orchestra will be doing it this May.

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is the second orchestra that will be doing it.
I haven't heard anything about the LTP for TROS. The image-logo for that would be seen at the 'Disney Concerts' website.

The Acadiana Symphony Orchestra of Louisiana will be doing the SW:ANH LTP concert this September.
https://acadianasymphony.org/concerts/
A member of the orchestra’s Board of Directors, Kohlie Frantzan, claims in this post from his Facebook page that Jack Nitzsche was the first choice as composer for ‘Star Wars.’
QuoteInteresting story: Jack Nitzsche, an extraordinary musician who worked with the Rolling Stones and who eventually wrote “Up Where We Belong,” for “An Officer and a Gentleman,” was the first choice for the Star Wars score. However, Nitzsche was advised at the time that an odd-ball, spaghetti western/sci-fi film mashup was sure to flop and would certainly jeopardize his career.

I am thinking that in order for a movie with a classical/romanticism-type orchestral score to get released today, these following key production people, outside of the director, have to sign-off on it:
- The person paying for the entire film’s budget—most likely the executive producer.
- The distributor who has to sell the film with that type of music to those who will be showing it—theatres, TV stations, streaming platforms, etc.
Take the film, ‘Legend’ (1985), for example. The film was made independently but it needed the resources of major film-studios to get the film seen by the public. The production company delivered a version of the film that featured a lush, Debussy-like orchestral score by Jerry Goldsmith. The first theatrical cut with that score was released in Europe by distributor, 20th Century-Fox, however, things changed when the film was prepped for release in the USA. The film’s distributor for that territory—Universal Pictures—decided that the film would appeal to younger viewers (the film's lead actor--Tom Cruise--was a rising star at that time for that audience) by trashing the lush, Debussy-like orchestral score and replacing it with a New-Age, electronic-infused score from Tangerine Dream. In the end, the film failed theatrically in the USA, anyway.
So, it may take the combined forces of a production company and a distributor who both share a taste of films from the late 1970's through the 1980's to bring film music back to that lush-orchestral style of writing by using it on a film that is going to be a bit hit.

Apparently, the end credits are shown during the concert, but no music is played as the audience and musicians are filing out the hall.

It's for Marcus Mumford.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/18/entertainment/steven-spielberg-marcus-mumford/index.html
QuoteMarcus Mumford has teamed up with a film legend for the music video to his powerful new single, "Cannibal."
According to Mumford, lead singer of British rock band Mumford & Sons, the video was filmed on July 3 in a high school gym in New York.
"I've been overwhelmed by the support of the people around me to bring this music to you, and I cannot hope to express all of my gratitude," he wrote on Instagram. "When people get it, it blows my mind. Kate and Steven just got it, and I cannot thank them enough."Spielberg, Mumford added, shot the video "in one shot, on his phone. " Spielberg's wife, actress Kate Capshaw, assisted as "the almighty dolly grip." She was also credited as a producer and art director.
In one photo shared by Mumford, Capshaw is seen dragging her husband in a rolling chair.
Mumford's wife, actress Carey Mulligan, was credited as the "costumer.""Cannibal" is the first single from Mumford's solo album, out September 16.
Earlier this month, Mumford said he wrote the song "in January 2021, facing demons I danced with for a long time in isolation."
He called the forthcoming record "dear to my heart." -

Also,
For that 2nd video, I got the link from here in the forum and someone mentioned that it was from the Olympic Studio scoring sessions but I can't find a post that mentions this. So I am not 100% sure if that footage is even a film-scoring session project. However, I am certain that the said segment was broadcasted on TV in 1983, the year of ROTJ.
So, who knows?

There are these:
This is from the ABC-TV News program, '20/20'. It features footage of the Abbey Road scoring sessions.

This one has a brief clip of the Olympic Studio scoring sessions but no original audio on that film.

8 hours ago, Amer said:Just curious which score got shifted from Budapest to Germany?
Bill Conti's 'Master of the Universe' (1987). See page 8 on the liner notes from Intrada's 2012 CD release-ISC vol. 205.
QuoteRecording the music would be equally challenging, as Conti’s complex, note-filled score overwhelmed its initial players in Budapest (sessions Conti wasn’t able to attend). Quickly relocating the recording to Munich for the city’s Graunke Orchestra, Conti was able to finish the score on time with the aid of conductors Bruce Miller and Harry Rabinowitz, with Dan Wallin piecing together the best performance to create an ultimately cohesive score.

Who wants to make a bet that the 20-second-long cue will turn-up in Intrada’s CD re-release 10 years later?
BTW, at what point in the movie is this cue?
-
I appreciate your clarifying that, @rough cut
For that sequence of the detectives tailing Otis, was there music over the entire sequence at the concert? (You don't have to respond, rough cut, if you don't want to. Anyone else who attended the concert can respond.)I’m asking because in both the theatrical cut and the director’s extended cut, the music fades-out over this shot…
…and reappears about 2 minutes later over this shot...
Also, Mike M. said that there will be some music restored exclusively for this concert so I was wondering if that sequence was one of them.

Does any know if any of the LSO players that performed on the actual ROTJ scoring sessions back in 1983 are playing with this current LSO, now?
