Henry B 50 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was listening to samples of Stanley and Iris on iTunes and caught a direct quote of "Luke and Leia," which is itself lifted from Bernstein's Candide.I guess this is a bad thing.

Henry B 50 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Assuming iTunes samples from the beginnings of tracks, it was 0:22 in "Putting It All Together." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dole 17 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 It's a similar passage.This happens in lots of Williams cuesNo, it doesn't.Yes it kind of does. For example, there's a nice rendition of Shmi's Theme in Minority Report and the father/son theme from The Last Crusade is quoted in Far and Away. But it's normal. A reporter once pointed out similarities in two of Bernard Herrmann's pieces and Herrmann responded in his normal subtle way by saying something like "Of course they sound similar. The same person wrote both of them you ****ing idiot!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshopk 8 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I gotta give this whole thread a big huge WTF? I listened to Stanley and Iris many times after becoming very intimate with the SW scores, and if there was a quote of a major Star Wars theme in there, it would be obvious. Intervals and note lengths are the composer's tools. Gotta use em for your intention without worrying whether you might make a short line similar to something else.

You could go full circle with this and say that Make Our Garden Grow from Candide is lifted or inspired by Beethoven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
