I like the JP theme far better than the fanfare.

5 stars. Yes, that was very easy.
Incredible, and maybe the best Indy score.

Slave Children, easy.

Maybe someday I'll listen to a Harry Potter score...

If a score requires 5 full listens for you to "get" it, it's a failure.
So 'easy listening' is the only genre worth exploring?
Hmm, I am not sure I could disagree more.

Yes, I enjoyed them as well.

Merry Christmas!

That Jurassic Park teaser music isn't that good. It can stay unreleased. It sounds like someone trying to imitate JW and doing a poor job at it.
Actually, I thought it was pretty good.

So....... this trailer is still not on the interwebs anywhere?
Crazy, isn't it?

I just looked at the music and yes, it is 12/8, with only a couple time changes in it. This is the way Williams chose to facilitate the implied triplets Henry was talking about, and have it make sense structurally. Each little backing motif (at the beginning) is four triplets, three the same and then a fourth changed (played on the harp at first). So 12/8 works best to make the harmonic changes work well within measures.
Josh: Not exactly sure what aspect you are taking about at that moment, but what is going on orchestrationaly there is the four horns hold out the harmony, while the trombone, bass trombone and tuba play an eighth note with an accent, and the timpani plays a dotted quarter note with them. This is what lends weight to that moment. Williams uses a large part of the brass section (all in lower registers) as sort of a percussion instrument, helping the timpani. With the combination, you get the suddeness of the timpani, with the hit held out slightly longer by the brass. Really is a nice effect.

I absolutely love it. I love the contrast between the simplicity of the melody itself, against the shifting backgroud and 12/8 (I think) time. Also love the B theme, and the way it segues into the first melody.

I laughed, I cried...it moved me.

I'm sure Mr. Takis would be happy to refer you to his affectionately exhaustive analysis of the Hook score to clear up any confusion... <_<
Actually, I have been looking for this for a while. It doesn't seem to be on this site. Is there any way for non-FSM subscribers to get a hold of this?
Bump.

Oh, I must have missed it. Awesome! Thanks, red rabbit.

Not even if you could buy flacs?
Tempt me with SA-CD quality music, and I might concede. But for now, I love my physical media and filling up shelf space with lots of LPs, CDs, and SA-CDs.

You know Williams would just slap all the KM posts together for the "best listening experience".
If it were up to Williams, who knows but KM's periods might be attached to the end of the words!

Hmm, still don't have the Blue Box, though I certainly want it. So for me, I think it would have to be
Indiana Jones Box Set (first time on this music)
and then maybe tied:
KotCS

I edited my post to specify which "Jurassic Park" theme.

I've been wanting to subscribe for so long.....I might just do it this time.

The definition of 'classic': Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind
So it does have to be kind of old (over a period of time), but it also has to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind. This is just far to vague and opinionated a classification.
-
But I think that the terms should be firmer, and less prone to the listener's interpretations. The word 'classic' should be used for someone saying 'That song is classic *insert band name*', meaning it is from a time that they consider to be the best of that band, and is a good representation of that time. I don't think classic rock should be called that, because those who love 90's rock but not 80's would call the 90's the classic period.
Of course, modern was just plain a really bad idea for a term. So, where to now from post-modern?

I dismantled my box .I put the digipacks with the rest of my JW c.d.'s at their proper chronological spot , and put disk 5 in another jewel case using Lukes' custom cover.
You WHAT-ED your box?!?!?
But, but, but it is so nice looking...
A stroke of genius!
