Will they bring a men choir for that? (all 15 seconds in two instances)

Does anybody have a screenshot of the pre-2002 forum? It has dissapeared from my memory...

The 2000 Varese McNeely re-recording!

Two other phases to not forget : his gothical period (Fury, Dracula, TESB) and his post-modern sound (Always, Presumed Innocent, Boston Pops albums, Home Alone)

Sneakers is Horner at his early 90's best! It's an A-tier score by him. playtronics break-in is always in rotation for me, it was his period with a lot of John Adams and Philip Glass influences. I'm still surprised they decided to go with it, considering it leaked fully a couple of years ago.

Another year... another hopeless wish for : STAR WARS : The Complete Soundtracks - Volume 1 (The original saga)

Yeah the single thing most people said back then was that the original release was serviceable for the movie, but on the album it's just too long. I guess there are gems hidden in the expansion? (3CD, even with the original tracks, still means 30+ minutes of expanded score vs 66min of the original)

There is a tracked part from Remembering Petticoat Lane that could find it's way into this release (as an ALT). Perhaps the inclusion of percussion-only (or -less) tracks? Ripples and Corporate helicopters have sound-effects in them IIRC (like a single synth note).

I guess it can be done in 300pages, but I could easily see it brought up to 500/600 pages (editor might not like that LOL). It depends how far in time it will go.

My guess is that since Sneakers leaked pretty much entirely, I would rather have stuff that we haven't had the chance to listen completely (Zorro, etc...).

Let's not forget the Disney Star Wars intro, which is a tragegy by itself for not using John's thematic material and creating a Marvelisation of the SW universe :

Warner Brothers plasters his Harry Potter score pretty much anywhere they can (compared to any music by Doyle/Hooper/Desplat). So I guess he *is* open to the merchandising of his music.

He wasnt there obviously , but the Montreal Symphony Orchestra just had a beautiful JW concert the past two days, a top world orchestra playing seriously and not just for the pops : Korngold - The Sea Hawk theme Williams - Tuba Concerto Williams - E.T « Flying theme » Williams - Suite from Harry Potter (Hedwig’s Theme - The Sorcerer’s Stone - Fawkes the Phoenix - The Chamber of Secrets - Aunt Marge’s Waltz - The Knight Bus - Witches, Wands and Wizards - A Bridge to the Past - Harry’s Wondrous World) Williams - Suite from Star Wars (Main Title - Princess Leia’s Theme - Throne Room & End Title) Williams - The Empire Strikes Back « The Imperial March »

For the future of classical music, we've had our first baby steps in the past half decade with all those private companies (Cineconcerts, FilmConcertsLive, GMA, etc..) doing live-to-projection concerts. The audience has embrassed this. Now we even have the NY Philarmonic who is doing Herrmann's Vertigo next year. This is another baby step. In the future, perhaps the movie itself won't be necessary anymore, we could have a complete TESB score with only the music (no click-track situation) instead of only doing suites or smaller compositions like the Asteroid Chase. Anyway it will be tested one day, to consider some movie soundtracks as full symphonies.

On a similar note, I would really love to have a live concert experience where there are no movie sound dialogue/sfx, just a silent movie projected with subtitles and the orchestra playing. Just imagine going to the concert hall, watching TESB done that way!!!

Nice Goldsmith channeling a-la-Lionheart or Small Soldiers, but the orchestration feels also like his own Speed Racer, with the drum kit and bassline.

This is pretty much the nail in the coffin for Colin Trevorrow as a director in Hollywood, especially when you have a complete year to re-edit the movie again. Strike 3 for him!

There's a piano in the last portion doing ostinatos, but something else twingly too, no?

Only ANH and TESB could be a two-CD set, I can't see how you can fit all other movies under 3 discs, so it would be 25 discs

Even Auguste Rodin didn't do all his sculptures by himself, he had a team of craftsmen who did replicas in plaster or cray, and then from these, final stone/metal sculptures. That doesn't diminish his works. Giacchino is co-crediting these days, with Nami Melumad on some of his co-worked scores, like An American Pickle and Medal of Honor : Above and Beyond. Orchestrators is just not a defined job in terms of the limits of what they do, it's just very large depending on the budget of a score, the type of movie (MCU vs a small scale drama piece) and the type of score (Greenwood' almost Chamber music vs electronic of large orchestrated scores that require a lot of hands and time to tweak).

So if we have one of those "complete score" boot made from the FYC and the BR, do we need this? Is there more content and does it sound better?

Goldsmith had a nice impressionnism period in the early 80's, you can feel the french-sound influence of Debussy and Ravel, starting with Alien/Star Trek TMP, Legend, Omen Final Conflict, Poltergeist, Secret of NiMH, etc... Even something like Inchon or The Challenge has influences from them. The Forest music in Legend is basically L'enfant et les sortilèges.

I never liked the obvious Powaqqatsi Philip Glass ripoff from Horner during the end credits...

I hate tracks with " / " because that character isn't supported in the file system, so I have to always rename my MP3 files. I usually put " - " instead
