Director 1 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Do you think Johnny will reuse lots of themes à la the original Star Wars Trilogy and Home Alone 2 or will he dazzle us with newly created themes with hints of older themes? (à la Episode I and Episode II)Dan - finding a similarity between Bernstein's The Age Of Innocence and Rota's The Godfather in this cue... "Ellen Leaves" from The Age Of Innocence (E. Bernstein)Dan2 -- anxiously awaiting the next Scorcese-Bernstein opus, Gangs Of New York. (If it's good, Elmer might get an Oscar this year.....)

Ren 75 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 What themes do you think he should incorporate? I mean what aspects of book two would you like to see him compose for?I think I'd like to see a parseltoungue theme, aragog too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Probably he wont make a whole theme just for Aragog. Possibly a "Spider Motif"I think that Williams will keep his theme for Harry, Hedwig, Hogwarts, Voldemort, and the Quiditch theme in there. I'd be very suprised if he took them out.Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I would love to hear a musical referance a la Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Like, when the kids talk about what happened to Harry last year, we hear the Stone motif. That would be cool.Marc, who thinks the Ark motif in Last Crusade is brilliant.

Director 1 Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 A theme for Ron's family. Lucius and Draco need a theme, as does Dobby. The flying car scene should be fun for him to do -- same goes for the Womping Willow. The parseltongue motif should be brooding and reminiscent of "the Sorceror's Stone" motif...same goes for Tom Riddle (or whoever he is).Moaning Myrtle, Nearly Headless Nick, and, of course, Gilderoy Lockhart need leitmotifs. Lockhart's should be funny.Dan - really looking forward to this score now "1900's Madness #1" from The Legend Of 1900 (Morricone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,178 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I guess both of Harry's themes (the family theme and the hero theme, if you will) will return, as will the Voldemort theme and the theme for Gryffindor. I can't possibly imagine him not reprising the main theme (the so-called Hedwig's Theme), for sheer commercial reasons.A theme for Lockhart would be fine, but I somehow doubt we'll get one (I'm hugely looking forward to Branagh's Lockhart, by the way). Dobby will probably get some jumpy, Jar-Jar like music.Marian - who got and watched the DVD today (somebody give the Hermione actress an Oscar!)

Director 1 Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 Yes, but Johnny's scoring ...and the Chamber of Secrets in late July/early August, recording in early October and then starting on Catch Me If You Can right away. He'll have a couple months for both scores....he should be able to pull off magic again.And don't forget it's a Spielberg film -- those are the ones that speak the loudest to his inspriation and genius.Dan - knowing his stuff.

IrishCal24 0 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Actually it's not that big of a spoiler, but if I were to explain why I would have to get into serious spoiler territory. But I do suppose those of us who've read the books should consider those who haven't and give spoiler warnings. We just tend to forget sometimes because we've been able to discuss CoS for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Director 1 Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 I don't think it's too much of a spoiler, but I could see why it might be. (Did that make sense?)I will keep this in mind, though.

Harry Potter 0 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 That's right!Dan - fearing he may not go. "The Ranch" from The CowboysSorry to hear that. And, in my local newspaper, the made a calendar with all the concerts this summer, and both of JW's are listed, and the concert know as "A Salute to Hollywood" is listed as "John Williams Conducts His Movie Scores".

Harry Potter 0 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Thanks! I hope he doesn't forget to set up a meeting place.

Harry Potter 0 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Well that is why I need my teacher to set up a place so I can see him by myself.What am I taking?

Director 1 Posted May 25, 2002 Author Share Posted May 25, 2002 Well, if you have any orchestral scores (as in, paper), take those. He likes those. Take his Oscar-winning CD covers. Your program/ticket and your favorite non-winning score. Also, take Episode II and Minority Report and have him sign those too. Who knows? They might be nominated and even win.Posters, pictures of Johnny, and your (composed) music are things that annoy him. If there aren't too many people or if you're alone with him, he'll even ask you where you want him to sign it. He's so awesome.Dan - who should discuss more with Harry in the futureGood night, Harry.

Marian Schedenig 8,178 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 My fav is number 3#3 is the best. Absolutely breathtaking. I read them all very fast (and I'm a slow reader), but with #3, I realized that after the Quidditch match in the middle, I just couldn't put it down. I started at 3:00pm and couldn't stop reading until I had finished the book at 7:00 in the morning.Of course, the finale of #4 beats everything that came before it. But as a whole book, #3 is the best so far.Marian - who CANNOT wait for the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
