Loert 2,515 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 A bit of a noobish question, but who does the arrangements for the pieces played by the Boston Pops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,373 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 "the pieces"?What does that mean?The Boston Pops has played hundreds of pieces over decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loert 2,515 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'll be more specific. For example, who arranged "Sleigh Ride" from 'Special Days: A Christmas Festival' or "In the Mood" from 'Swing Swing Swing'? Who actually put those score together?I guess the real question is, where can I find more information about who arranged which pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It would depend on the "pieces".If you are referring to arrangements of John Williams cues then in most or possibly all cases the arrangement was done by the composer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,515 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I buy albums digitally or I stream on Qobuz. And none of those options give a straightforward description of who arranged which piece.Thankfully though I've just discovered that jw-collection.de have a listing of many of John's Boston Pops albums which include details of the arranger for each track.And I've just discovered that Sleigh Ride is in fact an original composition by Leroy Anderson. I thought it was an arrangement of the vocal version, which I thought came first. As I said, noobish question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karelm 2,914 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 If I listen to an uncompressed audio file with headphones on my mac and then the exact same file on an iphone with the same headphones, technically, should it sound exactly the same? Or does the quality change simply because the electronics of the two devices are not exactly the same? This is very picky stuff because I am mastering and I am trying to determine if an offensive frequency while listening is more of a placebo because they actually are identical.

Jay 37,373 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Maintaining things in lossless or uncompressed only keeps the original digital file from being altered. Once you "switch" from digital to analog - IE, play through speakers or headphones, every single device on the planet will sound different from one another. That's just the way it is.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I recently watched one of my favorite movies, Fire in the Sky. The end titles credit one piece of music to Franz Waxman, "A Message of Murder". Google search doesn't turn up anything. Does anyone know what this is from?

nightscape94 965 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah, that's a bit strange. I'm not familiar with Fire in the Sky that much (saw it when I was a young teen), but I wonder if that's a titling mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 What is the sound at the end of this clip when Yoda and Samuel L. Jackson look at each other? Is that a part of the score or a sound effect? I don't hear it on the OST. It almost sounds like some kind of flute or maybe a synthesizer or something? Am I full of shit?(on a side note, the CGI Yoda looks horribly out of place and Frank Oz voiced him like Grover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 What's the difference between the two versions of Diagon Alley (not Children's Suite, film version)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,373 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 There's only one version.I mean, there's the children's suite version (which was used on the OST), and then the film version (which we finally got in the sessions leak).Of course, in the actual film, the cue was replaced by the great hall entry music instead of using the intended film version.

Jilal 569 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hmm, I'm not quite sure - the recording sessions leak has both the original cue and a revised one, along with a couple of takes of an insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah, that's what I'm referring to, the sessions alternate. I can't really hear a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yes! Great little cue. I'd say it's probably written by Haab. Sounds like an older recording than the rest of the score, though - wasn't there quite a bit of music recycled from some sort of fanfic short film?
