Eric_JWFAN 11 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 If you had to guess, what post-1975 score do you think took the least amount of time for Williams to write?

Henry B 50 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The Accidental Tourist or Presumed Innocent. They're good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 These were unusual sounding for Williams at the time. Not sure he composed that very fast.But the Terminal sounds like Williams writing melodies and cues as fast as he can without looking back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I'm going to go ahead and include the inevitable AOTC comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I would think The Patriot, seeing as how it's a replacement score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Anything from 2002--especially CoS. And The Patriot. And maybe SPR, just because it's so short. And HA2, because so much of it is recycled from the first film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 And HA2, because so much of it is recycled from the first film.Yes, quite possible, though he obviously had some work with the new orchestrations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Williams actually did not do very much on that score, most of it was adapted by William Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salacius 7 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 War of the Worlds - and I feel it's a poor score too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I think the answers people are coming up with have more to do with scores people don't like much than scores they think he wrote quickest. I mean, AOTC??? Come on! It may be a poor score by Williams standards, but that much orchestral music takes many many months to write, no matter what the quality. Trust me on this! The answer is still quite clearly The accidental Tourist. It's piano-led, has an almost improvisatory feel to it, and each track is an almost identical variation on the main theme. I know it has many fans, but this score could have been written in three days. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Williams actually did not do very much on that score, most of it was adapted by William Ross.Do you mean HA2 or CoS? 'Cause I don't remember William Ross ever being mentioned as JW's collaborator on HA2 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,683 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I think that was a joke...Re. The Patriot, I don't believe this was a rejected score. I read that Arnold did some demos for the producers and that they didn't think he was right for the movie, and JW happened to be available. Do correct me if this is wrong I don't think The Terminal can be the shortest, because wasn't the premiere of the movie delayed to give Williams more time after being exhausted with PoA?

Jeshopk 8 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Rosewood was a replacement score though. I am pretty sure Williams writes 1 minute 30 seconds on average per day no matter what he is writing. There is a lot that goes in to each score, as in the timings, geting the right mood, etc. I am sure for monothematic scores like Accidental Tourist, Williams spends a great deal of time getting the right thing since it will be repeated so much.

Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 On the other hand Rosewood is so unique or at least "unusual" for Williams and filled with wild guitar stuff and "authentic" gospel writing. I'd imagine he'd spend some time working those things out; it's not like Goldsmith's AFO, which is very good and features some nicely complex action writing, but at the same time typical enough in style that I can easily imagine Goldsmith writing it in a rush - but then, I didn't know the Rosewood schedule.What about Stepmom, how much time did he have for that?

odnurega1 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I am going to say Attack of the Clones, although I was unaware that he wrote The Terminal in a short period of time. Its such a great score...I would've thought he spent a lot of time writing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The Patriot sounds likely. But HPII certainly feels like it was written rather haphazardly, in a good way. I think has more new melodies to it than if JW had had more time on it. And that's part of it's charm, to me. It feels like JW just throwing the first idea he got onto the screen.

Luke Skywalker 1,794 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Didnt Williams 'struggled' with WOTW?He had just finished ROTS in feb and had to finish WOTW before june... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Stepmom. I don't know why, I just think that's the one he wrote the quickest. Intuition goes a long way AI. Yes Sir it does.Sir? I call you Sirok, try again...Intuition goes a long way AI, Sir.Good Cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
