[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Disney Records Original Soundtrack Album) - NO FILM SPOILERS!]

I recently stumbled on this and found it delightful !

Title says "Raiders March" but it's much more than that 😉

I just had to transcribe and record this one !

 

 

[Best John Williams Love Theme/Motif]

I was actually thinking about JW love themes today and...there is just something about The Terminal's that feels timeless, pure and extremely emotional to me.
"The Fountain Scene" is one of my all-time favorite cues, and I think this melody and those chords are just a perfect exemple of what a love theme should be :


 

 

 

[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Score in the film) - SPOILERS ALLOWED!]

Finally saw the movie a few days ago and I have to say hearing a brand new JW score for the first time in the theater is still a one-of-a-kind experience !
I always find myself fascinated by it all, down to the very last note of the end credits (at which point I pretty much always find myself alone in the theater since, well...practically everybody walks out before the very end, which I never do and which IMO is even more sacrilegious when it is JW music !!)
But yeah, thank you Maestro for still gifting us with these wonders 🙏

[Ultimate Helena’s Theme Poll]

I absolutely adore Willie's Theme !
That horn counterpoint at 4'09 of the End Credits 

 

[Video Game Music]

Here's a 26min piece I've arranged and produced based on the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack !

More than 30 musicians from all over the world are playing on it, there's also a big choir, and it has all the twists and turns you'd expect from a progressive rock epic 

 

[The Empire Strikes Back]

This cue

I've always loved this moment from SPR

 

 

 

That's the one that instantly comes to my mind ! Sheer beauty.

[Danny Elfman's "Batman" (1989) influenced by Gottfried Huppertz's "Die Nibelungen" (1924)?]

Interesting subject, I wasn't aware of these similitudes !
Still one pretty amazing theme, especially horn and trumpet-wise 
 

 

[Video Game Music]

I've been working on a little something for the past few months 😃

[18M1] THE RETURNING WOMEN

Fun action cue !!

Anyone else think Princess Leia's theme has never sounded better than it does in that cue?

My thoughts too !

I tend to compare it with The Asteroid Field, but really TAF doesn't quite equal it.

I've also done a full cover of it ! Entirely played on the french horn 
 

 

[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]

Had to do this one 
 

 

[James Horner's TITANIC (2017 4CD expanded edition from La-La Land Records)]

Definitely one of the most intense cues in film music history !
 

 

[Silverado]

 

[Bear McCreary's The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)]

One of the most breathtaking pieces of music I've ever heard in a TV show.

 Awesome stuff. The background video…looks like the one I did years ago of the entire “War” sequence featuring the intended score (without sound effects or dialogue) that was always tricky to upload to YouTube because of copyright flags. I called it “War: The Battle for Pandora”. If so, great use of it as a guide/ sync!

Thank you !
I actually edited the movie sequence myself, is your video still on Youtube ?
By the way, too bad most of this cue was actually replaced in the movie...there isn't one second from it that I would cut, absolutely brilliant scoring by Mr Horner !
