Mysterious songs from John Williams

[Sandor 459]

First; the end credits of Prisoner of Azkaban mentions "A Winter's Spell". What's the deal with this song? According to my recollection it doesn't appear in the film and it certainly doesn't feature on the OST. Anyone know?

Then: in the Anthology pianobook there is a song called "Hold You", presumably from The Fury. However; it's not on the soundtrack. Does it appear in the film? I've never heard it.

Thanks.

I am not 100% sure, but isn't it a song /source cue/ which is heard when Harry seaks to the town in the invisibility cloak?

Hmmmm... Need to watch POA again.... Thanks for the clue.

Ok, did some research.

Found this on a page you all know probably.

And this.

Still doesn't answer everything, but I know more than I did one hour ago.

Winter's Spell is indeed the song heard in Hogsmeade when Harry is sneaking through the wintery village under his invisibility cloak. There is a group of carolers on the corner singing that song.

Yes. There's a choir out in Hogsmeade singing the song. The song's pretty buried in the mix though. I missed it altogether on at least my first two viewings.

One nice trivia about "A Winter's Spell" is that the lyrics were co-written by Jamie Richardson, Williams' long-time agent.

[Henry B 49]

It's the same song as the one in "Christmas at Hogwarts" from the first film, isn't it?

No, it was composed for PoA. I have the sheet music for piano and it's a pretty nice song, in the same medieval/modal spirit of the Past theme.

Whenever this track mentioned, some invariably bring up Home Alone, but actually this has come to grow on me a lot. (Oddly enough, in the middle of the summer.)

It's catchy and bubbly and effervescent. (Is that spelled right?)

I haven't watched The Fury in a long time, but "Hold You", with lyrics by Williams younger son, Joseph, is a source song, probably heard coming from some stereo or something.
