After Minority Report, here is the isolated score for War of the Worlds, presenting the picture as JW scored it, by restoring unused and replaced music. Like my previous videos, I decided to use the tracks from the Intrada release without editing anything, except for cues that segue into each other and special cases like the removed silences in The Aliens. This took time to do, but I'm happy to finally be able to show it to all of you. Hope you enjoy it all! Special thanks to @Holko and @crumbs for the feedback and the awesome little sync ideas they gave me! Prologue And Opening Montage This cue fits well. There's some good stuff to catch like the underscore of the pigeons flying (around 2:00), something I personally hadn't noticed when watching the movie. Film version Alternate version The alternate version, included on Disc 2 on the Intrada set is more orchestral and works really well too. It is a bit shorter than the version chosen for the movie so I had to slightly adapt the picture to it. Is It Over? The first minute of this cue was not used in the final movie. The music is supposed to start when Rachel says "Is It Over?" after the last lightning strike. The piano that plays here makes the whole scene very dark and scary, I wish it wasn't dropped! The Intersection Scene / What Happened? / Driving Away From Trouble Three cues that segue into each other to build a 11-minute moment of pure tension. I spent quite a lot of time to figure out how I could restore the sync points for The Intersection Scene since that particular cue was heavily edited for the final film version. The first 40 seconds were not used, the music appears in the movie on the wide tripod shot, after people starting running away from it. For the whole cue I decided not to stick to how the movie used it. Instead, I really tried to find some sync points, to the point now that we have the brass syncing with the heat rays coming from the tripods (around 2:25). No idea if this a pure coincidence, but it looks and sounds awesome! What Happened? fits pretty well. Driving Away From Trouble was artificially stretched in the movie, the final scene is most likely shorter than what JW scored. Since it's one single long shot, I decided to speed up just a bit the picture instead of cutting it randomly so it can still sync properly. Surveing Wreckage The movie only uses the first 30 seconds of that cue before tracking Epilogue for the rest of the scene. Here we can see Williams' original intentions. Watch The Lightning Fits perfectly. Bodies In The Water Fits perfectly too! Ray And Rachel Almost fits perfectly except that the scene in the final movie lasts longer than the cue, causing the music to be artificially stretched in the final edit. I had to adapt the picture to make it fit properly. Attacking The Car Totally unused cue! I had some trouble finding the sync points at first, but I think I figured it out after adding some black screens. A revelation to finally see how the cue I've been listening for years fits with the picture! In The Cafe The whole cue was artificially stretched in the movie, so I decided to not try adapting my sync points to the final music edit of the movie, and it works pretty well. The Ferry Scene This one is a great cue, and was also quite heavily edited in the movie: segments that use tracked music: one from 0:42 to 0:45, another from 1:55 to 2:10 and a huge one from 4:16 to 4:40. In the final edit, this particular segment uses snippets from The Basket and an additional low male creepy choir (we still don't know the source of this right?). The ending of the cue was tricky to restore as well, with some sections of the music stretched, I had to rearrange the picture to get something fitting the original cue. Woods Walk This cue was supposed to play as a transition between the Ferry scene and the Camelot scene that was deleted. They kept it as a transition to the battle scene for the final movie edit. Refugee Status This one was supposed to play right after the Camelot scene, as the battle sequence starts...and this is working perfectly well! I believe this is the intended scene for that cue and I honestly prefer it over Woods Walk. Robbie Joins The Fight Pretty much fits, small adjustments done to the picture to restore some sync points. The Basement The whole beginning of the cue isn't used in the movie. Instead of letting 30 seconds of black image, I decided to use the footage that plays right before, when Ray and Rachel arrive in the basement. Robbie Joins The Fight should play during this moment but it kind of fits the scene anyway. Harlan Ogilvy The cue is shorter in the movie, with some crossfade applied to remove a section in the middle. I made it start earlier so the ending section syncs and I think that's how it is supposed to play. Probing The Basement Here again, I decided not to follow how the music plays in the movie for some parts, especially in the beginning. Overall it fits pretty much, even though the scene got most likely edited after JW scored it. The Aliens Fits except for some little parts where I had to stretch some footage. I also had to re-create the silences that Mike removed when he made the track for the Intrada presentation. Ogilvy's End That cue was artificially stretched for the movie so I had to edit the picture to make it work. Red Planet / The Basket I had to adapt the picture at several points to make Red Planet work. In the movie, this cue was quite heavily microedited and sometimes replaced by tracked music. The Basket fits a bit better, even though the final movie edits also edited some parts of the original cue. The Entrance To Boston Some slight edits to the picture were done to make those two versions fit. What a brillant cue, and it's so good to finally be able to hear that insert at 1:17 in clean form. Film version Alternate version Defeat And Reunion Since the Reunion cue has 5 different versions recorded, I wanted to present them all, in order of composition. Note that the movie uses parts of both 4th and 5th version. 1st version (The Separation Of The Family) This is the version that is presented on the OST program. Fits pretty well! 2nd version (Boston Street Finale - Alternate No. 1) I love this one, it feels definitely more emotional and direct than all the others, which definitely changes the atmosphere of the scene. 3rd version (Boston Street Finale - Alternate No. 2) Going back closer to the first version but this time with violins, and this one fits too. 4th version (Boston Street Finale) Very similar to the 3rd version, except that it unfortunately lasts a bit longer than the final scene. 5th version (Defeat And Reunion) This one is pretty much the same as the first version but composed in another key. Fits properly too. Closing Montage There are two versions of that cue. In the movie, the Prologue And Opening Montage is tracked here to make it fit the longer scene before using the second version. So I had to shorten the picture to make those original cues, without tracking, fit. First version Second version

Hey ya'll, So far, I've put the following full score performances on YouTube (using MuseScore, lol). Reaching the Country (4m5: "Robbie Joins the Fight") Escape from the Basket (6m1: "The Basket Scene")--includes some bars cut from the OST The Return to Boston (6m2: "Entrance to Boston")--includes some bars cut from the OST Watch the Lightning (not on the OST. Performed by me. I didn't bother typing this one up since it's very legible). Surveying the Wreckage (not on the OST but in the movie) The Cafe Scene (not on the OST. Performed by me) Boston Street (neither in the movie nor on the OST...something JW wrote for fun, I guess, and never ended up using it for anything, Performed by me) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN6on8a9f8CWhvtxBUCA9rg <--my channel The following scores are available for your reading pleasure from my MuseScore page (MuseScore is awfully glitchy with typeset notation...excuse the silly redundant dynamic markings) Reaching the Country The Return to Boston The Cafe Scene Boston Street The Basket Scene https://musescore.com/user/18946111 <--my musescore page Enjoy! All of these are essentially copy-and-paste from John Williams' hand-written sketch scores. NOTE: Let me know if any of you guys have any studio scores/sketch scores to any of these: The Ferry Scene, The Attack on the Car, The Intersection Scene, or Escape from the City, or the "Epilogue." I don't have these and I want to type them up!
