How do they even shift the pitch and still keep the good quality? I tried in Audacity and even Melodyne, the results were decent but nowhere close to being in a quality like the original!

great to see that program, better curated than the story in music concert, IMO. Especially the complete, not cut, Rise of Skywalker and Rey and Ben pieces! Probably no recording of this concert, right? Which arrangement of Cantina Band will you play? Sid Ramin's?

They played ESB? I thought they chose the ANH credits.

No, William Ross.

Little edit: Apparently they will only play the first 15 bars of Rey and Ben... :( (which equals 00:00-0:48 of "Farewell" from the OST. Don't know how they will edit that, a direct segue to The Rise of Skywalker, @BSOinsider?

I think this is the coolest thing ever.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed to only see this few bars being new when getting the score. I don't know if I'm just TOO used to how the cue goes on, but I found it pretty unsatisfying, to be honest.

There are no encores, at least not as part of the official program of this series...

I'm sad that they didn't include the Adagio from The Force Awakens instead of one of the other TFA pieces.... it really deserves more performances

He cares about his opus, as every artist does. We don't have any information about a broadcast yet, do we?

So this version already premiered? That's good to know! Yeah it's still up: https://www.classicalwcrb.org/show/the-boston-symphony-orchestra/2023-06-08/john-williams-film-night

A small breakdown of the changes that were necessary, probably to tighten up the dramaturgy a bit: Main Title – HL SE (till bar 73) Flag Parade – HL SE (bar 9-56 cut, bar 95-104 cut, bar 132-139cut) Anakin’s Theme – JKMS Typeset (w/ JW fixes 07/25/23) Duel Of The Fates – HL SE (bar 21-85cut, bar 104-137 cut) Across The Stars – HL SE General Grievous (BPO Edited Version – July 2023) Enter Lord Vader (BPO Edited Version – July 2023) Leia’s Theme – HL SE Binary Sunset (BPO Edited Version – July 2023) Cantina Band (Sid Ramin Boston Pops Arrangement) - HL Asteroid Field – HL SE (bar 69-136 cut) Yoda’s Theme – HL SE Imperial March – HL SE Jabba The Hutt – Short version for SW: The Story in Music [23bars] Luke & Leia – SW Musical Journey 2009 Parade of the Ewoks – HL SE Forest Battle – HL SE (bar 3-14cut, bar 137-153 cut) March of the Resistance – HL SE Rey's Theme – HL SE Scherzo for X-Wings – HL SE The Jedi Steps – HL SE Chrome Dome (BPO Edited Version – July 2023) Rebellion – HL SE (bar56-99 cut) Speeder Chase – [unreleased] HL SE (bar 62-114 cut) Rey and Ben – [unreleased] HL SE (unitll bar 15) The Rise of Skywalker – [unreleased] HL SE (only until bar 104 – attaca to “Throne Room & End Title” – HL SE (from bar 107 to end))

Does somebody know if the theme we hear at 53:30 of Episode 1 is a new one for this show or was it used in any Kiner project before? Absolutely loving it.

oh haha just delete it then

Not sure if this is exactly the right thread, but I was able to put together "Rey and Ben" from the Star Wars 9 Suite. As we already know, it relies heavily on the "Farewell" track from the OST, but it does not include the part from 02:50-03:07 (which could confirm that this part is 10m1 Rey and Ren, if it's not included in the concert version and has another reel number it probably was written last minute because of edits to the scene): and at 3:52 of the OST track, where it would transition into the victory scene, there's another cut to a rather ominous ending section, which I had to mock up with virtual instruments: My source for this are leaked orchestral parts for an upcoming Star Wars concert, so there is a small chance this piece could be shortened and edited, but for all the other pieces of this concert that had cuts/edits, it was clearly noted in the sheet music. In the parts of Rey and Ben there is no indication that this has happened. (Of course, there is also slightly reduced instrumentation for the concert version, as with many Signature Editions, I have not considered that here).

Okay, apparently they have no chorus, so the beginning choral part of DOTF will be played by the brass as noted in the sheet music from the TPM suite.

It is indeed strange, if I had to choose 2 pieces from ROTS for a concert like this, I would choose Anakin's Dark Deeds (especially if they have a choir there already for DotF!) and Immolation Scene, they somehow represent the movie better.

Unfortunately it's not for an LTP, but as part of an upcoming Star Wars concert... This are the cues from the prequels that have been prepared for this concert: 2 FlagParade 3 AnakinsTheme 4 DuelFates 5 AcrossStars 6 GeneralGrievous (the screenshot probably shows the beginning of this piece) 7 EnterLordVader ... alas

Is anything known about the program for these two concerts? https://www.bso.org/events/john-williams-tribute One has a violin soloist, and the other a piano soloist. What could they play?

https://www.bso.org/events/boston-pops-star-wars-music https://www.bso.org/events/star-wars-the-story-in-music#:~:text=Take%20an%20intergalactic%20musical%20journey,and%20iconic%20music%20to%20life A part of this program will feature pieces from the Suite, a source tells me it's an excerpt(?) of Speeder Chase, Rey and Ben and TROS with an attaca to End Credits. Are any of you going there?

yeah! https://mediaserveur.univ-evry.fr/channels/#john-williams

Are you suggesting that Williams doesn't really think about chords or scales at all, and that he has rather built all of it into his musical DNA over a long time and now the "modern Williams" only relies on this instinct?

That's very helpful, thanks a lot! So is it right to say that Williams has not chords in mind when composing, but scales? I actually just played different notes from D ionian harmonizing the melody and it sounds very similar, so he really just chose random notes I guess? That's so cool XD.
