    3M1 Hagrid's Flashback is a cue from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone that was not on the OST album at all, but is present in the LLL box set as disc 1, track 9, Hagrid’s Flashback.
     
    In the final film, Christopher Columbus dialed a lot of the music out, letting the scene play with no score. You can see what Williams intended restored in this video

    The live to projection concerts for the Harry Potter series match all the edits and changes done for the final films, and do not restore any unused music.

    I've not heard Handel's GLORIA, but I've sung MESSIAH.
    @Jay is right: I do mean the GLORIA, from MONSIGNOR.
    Could anybody lend me $2000?

    Well there was a sessions leak a few years ago for this score so that was the source of the "unofficial" version. Now it is finally officially released on a commercial album.

    I'm not sure what you mean, by "official", JS, but since I've been using the PRE-CRIME COMMERCIAL as my ringtone, there hasn't been a single murder, in my house.

    It's an HP1 cue, but the beginning was cut from the movie. I don't understand why you can't play those cues in full in film concerts as the music clearly takes centre stage in such events.

    Don’t know what you mean by “on repeat” but I usually listen to music in shuffle mode and when “The Helicopter Sequence” from Superman comes on I have to listen that one twice in a row.

    Has he done any concert works that ARE based on his film scores???
     
    All I know is "Parade of the Athletes" from the (2012?) London Olympics.
    It can be found on a CD named "A Symphony of British Music".
    Not sure if that counts, but it seemed worth mentioning just in case.

    Psycho by Bernard Herrmann: Masterful terror and suspense from the master of suspense.
     
    Hellboy by Marco Beltrami: I think this is the composer's best score. Just terrific on all accounts.

    I watched it and wrote a few lines on it a couple of months back.  Pretty impressively done.  It is set up to look and feel like a news broadcast happening in real time.

    Naïve Old Fart got a reaction from Chen G. in Star Wars Disenchantment   
    I'll happily go on record, and say that I like this film. I've seen it a total of nine times, at the cinema, and countless times on video/DVD/Blu.
    It is only one of two films that had a truly breathtaking effect on the entire audience (coming out of the tunnel, and into the reactor generator).
    It's no secret - and I think it's no shame - to say that it's the weakest of the OT.
    That being said, it's a competently made, and entertaining film, with many good scenes.
    I've no wish to put the blame on Mr. Marquand, but he was a rather naïve director, at that time. He freely admitted that "Making ROTJ, with George, was like directing KING LEAR, with Shakespeare looking over your shoulder". Perhaps he never had the courage to "stand up" to Lucas, as it's evidenced that Kirshner had done, after all, it's his name on the "Directed By" credit.
    Replacing Kurtz with Kazanjian, was akin to replacing a solid producer (who will fight the director, if need be, for the betterment of the film), with a "yes" man. All this made for a film that gets the job done...but only just.
    On the plus side, the sound design, the cinematography, the effects, and the score, are all (mostly) fine.
    Maybe the restoration of some deleted scenes (Vader contacting Luke; Jerrejod's struggle) might add weight to the film, but I doubt it.
    In the end, it's the only ROTJ we've got.
    It could be a lot, lot worse.

    The Last Temptation of Christ (Passion) by Peter Gabriel. With all the flood of "world music" clichés flooding our cinema in the 00's, which of course quickly got old, I am surprised how well this album is holding up. 30 years later it still remains the finest example of this kind of a score. And a damn fine album too.
