Sony Masterworks will release the official score album for the prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The album features the film’s original score composed by Academy Award nominee James Newton Howard (King Kong, The Sixth Sense, Signs, Maleficent, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Fugitive) who previously scored all four original The Hunger Games movies. Also included are three newly reimagined piano suites based on Howard’s past themes from the franchise performed by featured soloist Yuja Wang who also performs the piano on the new score. The soundtrack is set to be released digitally and as a 2-CD set on November 17. Check back on this page for the purchase links. Geffen Records has previously released lead actress Rachel Zegler’s rendition of The Hanging Tree as a digital single last week and full separate album featuring the Dave Cobb-produced songs from the film is expected to be announced soon. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is directed by Francis Lawrence and also stars Tom Blyth, Peter Dinklage, Viola Davis, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera and Jason Schwartzman. The movie is based on Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel and follows a young Coriolanus who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family, and is reluctantly assigned to mentor a tribute from the impoverished District 12. The dystopian action adventure will be released in theaters nationwide on November 17 by Lionsgate.

Although I have attended a lot of concerts featuring John Williams' music for the Star Wars films over the years, this one had so much that I had not heard live in concert before.  You could tell the concert had been put together by genuine Williams fans, so well done to @mahler3 (whom I spotted waiting in the wings a few times!) and to @TownerFan who was evidently responsible for the informative and pleasingly accurate programme notes.
 
As well as the UK concert premiere of music from The Rise of Skywalker posted above by @Biodome, yesterday was the first time I had heard the revised version of Han Solo and the Princess in concert.  It might take a bit of getting used to, but having heard it live I think it's a grower.  I was happy that the full version of Luke and Leia (apparently conductor Stephen Bell's favourite piece of music from the saga) was played rather than the truncated version heard sometimes more recently.  The Lucasfilm Logo, The Adventures of Han Solo and The Rebellion is Reborn were also treats which I had not sampled live before.
 
I thought the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was excellent yesterday evening.  I did not notice any flubbed notes at all, the exposed horn solos in Princess Leia's Theme and Luke and Leia usually very unforgiving but both played perfectly.  I was in the choir seats immediately behind the xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, cowbells, etc. and I loved watching the percussionists dart about between the various instruments.  I had not noticed before that the opening of Rey's Theme was played on vibraphone, glockenspiel and marimba.  It was also nice that the conductor made the first violins stand after The Asteroid Field, as the other sections of the orchestra usually get the love.
 
Here are a few grainy photos taken from my vantage point.

There was a zoom with Chris Siddall, Dan Redfeld and Joe Johnson for the new rocketeer book. On the zoom Dan Redfeld said that he just finished proofreading the new Zorro book from Omni and that although there hasn’t been a complete score release yet, he’s been told one is coming.

I'm really hoping for a definitive release of Born On The Fourth Of July. 
 
It's one of Williams' most powerful and beautiful scores and it greatly deserves an expansion of some sort. 

Any idea what's going on with Helena's theme at around 9:22?
