My opinion probably doesn't count for most of the forum, but it was quite a disappointing selection of music. However, as Jay said, it was also a choppy presentation with a lot of short 2-minute tracks and hopefully not representative of the score on album. The FYC does almost nothing of interest musically and is mostly meandering autopilot underscore connecting leitmotif over and over again, like TLJ.

mrbellamy 6,235 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I’ll counter saying that I came away with about 4 or 5 tracks that I have been particularly enjoying, and there are a handful of moments that surprised me as far as something a little different from TFA and TLJ, especially use of things like harp, piano, and voices (big and small). The music to me is an extra step up in energy and color from TFA and TLJ. But I think those who value the album experience and self-contained pieces of music above all seem to be the most disappointed. The FYC overall is choppy and lacks in obvious “grand finale of Star Wars” type moments except for one track which seems to be a hit with most JWFanners including myself.

bollemanneke 3,308 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 So, now that Star Wars 9 is out, I suddenly felt obliged to start listening to Wagner's Ring Cycle and two completely unrelated questions suddenly came to mind: 1. Do we know if Wagner wrote alternate versions for different pieces that are or are not recorded, or is Wagner's Ring one undebatable, definitive work? 2. Who wrote more music for their franchises, Shore or Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,044 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Shore wrote six scores that were 2 1/2 to 4 hours long each, I'd guess probably 18 hours total sounds about right? Williams wrote nine scores of varying lengths from 80 to 200 minutes, probably totaling 20-21 hours or so bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,266 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Giacchino wrote about 25 minutes of music for 120 episodes of Lost. So, 3000 minutes, which is about 50 hours of music. Gia wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it when I was younger. I only followed S1 regularly, but about halfway it was evident that higher powers (the money counters) had told the creators to milk their hit series as much as possible, stretching out the plot* for the remainder of the season. It just got painfully slow. *not that there were much of a plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know if Wagner wrote alternate versions for different pieces that are or are not recorded, or is Wagner's Ring one undebatable, definitive work? There's a difference of course between operas written over the course of several years, and film scores written over a few weeks/months and then partly rewritten due to edits or director input. If Wagner rejected some parts before the individual operas premiered, he probably never published them, and if at all performed them only in a chamber setting for a small group of people. That said, Wagner (like others) has frequently made changes to his operas after their original premiere, often for specific new performances. So for works like Der fliegende Holländer and Tannhäuser, there are different versions that are being performed today and have been recorded (I have 4 versions of the Holländer and as far as I recall, at least 3 of them are different to each other). I don't know if changes like this exist for the Ring operas. If not, perhaps because they were written later and not performed as often, especially once the cycle had been completed, during Wagner's lifetime. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was finished much later than his early operas (obviously). The complete cycle premiered at Bayreuth in 1876. According to Wikipedia, the first non-Bayreuth performance was in 1882, just a year before Wagner's death. Not many opportunities for on-the-spot alterations, especially ones made for difference venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some changes possibly were made before the premiere of the complete cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,308 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Yeah, I haven't heard this version either. It's just the opening fanfare and then it slows down rather awkwardly, there are no strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
