The first 7 notes of “Over the Rainbow” = the first 7 notes of the “Unlimited” theme. They are the same notes, just different rhythms.

I saw it a third time today; I noticed that that bit from “A Wizard’s Plan” that is tracked into the Dillamond scene, is also tracked in at the end of the student orientation scene, when Madame Morrible is walking away with Elphaba. So, three appearances for that passage in the movie.

I think you may actually be thinking of 3:15 of the FYC version of “History Lesson”? The album version at 3:02 seems to use a different theme, that also appears at 1:40 of “How to Loathe Your Roommate.” So basically, I think what happened is “A Wizard’s Plan” got tracked into the Dillamond scene, and this other theme heard in the album versions of “How to Loathe Your Roommate” and “History Lesson” got cut entirely from the final film. (Unless I’m not recognizing it elsewhere.)

That’s a different moment—but I was definitely thrilled that that was included on the album! I was worried it might not be. If you ever see the film, the moment I’m talking about is inserted at 3:08 in the song:

Just realized that at 1:08 in “Prince Fiyero of Winkie Country,” the French horns are playing the “Dancing Through Life” theme!

It’s a bit of a bummer that there is instrumental music missing from some of the songs, that may never be released unless there is some sort of “complete recording” album (ala “La La Land”s “Complete Experience” album). For example, “Defying Gravity” has a great little section starting with the DG motif on low brass, when Elphaba looks down and sees the guards getting closer, and she then goes to enchant the broom.

The only hope I could see for Powell getting an Oscar for this is as a nod to co-composer Stephen Schwartz, for creating the musical.

I doubt it, but I wish!

“Ozian Invitation,” “Galinda Becomes Glinda,” and “Train to Emerald City” are such a perfect trio of tracks!

Exactly what I had in mind!

0:17-0:25 of “Santa Arrives” sounds a lot like Michael Kamen, to my ears. Anyone else hear it?

No problem!

Ohhh, I see. OST means “soundtrack,” which in the case of this film is a songs album, so that’s what I thought you meant. There’s the OST and then there’s the score album. I get what you mean. As for a playlist of what you’re looking for, it depends whether you want all the music that the FYC offers that isn’t on the score album, or just cases where there are completely standalone unique tracks? Basically, are you alright with duplication, or do you want to avoid that? Some of the FYC tracks diverge from their album counterparts.
