Incanus 5,722 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 16 hours ago, BloodBoal said: This! Anyway, I don't see much of a point of repeating material already found on an album elsewhere, just because it underscored an important scene in the film so "it should be there". Not only is it a waste of CD space, but the reasoning behind their inclusion just doesn't make much sense to me. Because it "fills narrative holes", so to speak? It's done in an artificial way. Not interested. Plus, I'm sure even if a composer participated himself in the selection of the tracked music, he would be against its inclusion on complete release (since, given the chance, I'm sure the composer would have preferred writing a new piece of music instead of simply reusing one). A cue is written specifically for a scene: the composer wrote it with that scene in mind, he wrote it in a such a way that it would match the emotion found within that scene, and that it would musically convey the narrative of that scene. Put that cue in another context, and you rob it of its meaning. All this to say: no, tracked music doesn't belong on complete releases! Quite. I agree. Verily I say. Indeed.

Holko 9,539 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 OK, I really understand all your points, but hear me out. This might just be personal opinion or empty reaching for justification, so feel free to call bullshit on all this. If we look at a complete film score presentation as a narrative experience in the context of its movie (which I don't see why we wouldn't for complete releases, why would we want them to be complete and chronological then?), I think Chamber really suffers from the exclusion of some of those cues. I'll first have a look at the complete score as actually recorded. Take the Three Note Loop. In this movie it has been demoted to a general mystery motif. It builds throughout the score, its final appearance is Hagrid being revealed as the culprit by Tom. This feels cheap, to have the major mystery theme build up to a fakeout and never be heard again when the mystery itself continues. The main revelation and turning point of the movie is Voldemort being revealed to have been behind everything. Therefore, we don't hear his theme for the majority of the score, and we don't hear it in this presentation at all. We lose a crucial plot point and link to the previous score and film. The final action setpiece in the movie has 3 climaxes: the henchman's death (ending of Dueling the Dragon), the villain's death (Riddle's Demise), and the triumphant escape/return (Fawkes heals Harry), so it's minor climax-major climax-minor climax. By excluding the middle one, we only get two minor climaxes back to back, making the first one seem more important than it was written to be, and thus weaker, and making the second one much less catharctic. Now, if we include the cues The Opening Sink, I Am Lord Voldemort, and Riddle's Demise, we get a much more satisfying experience. The Three Note Loop is present for the two major mystery payoffs of finding the Chamber and the main culprit. The latter of these also transforms into Voldy's motif, tying them together again, and of course finally presenting it in this score. Riddle's Demise includes it again, and restores the climax structure so it has an actual payoff which the third and minor climax can resolve. These are not even last-minute choices, since the cue list calls for them to be tracked. The only unclear thing is why these weren't rerecorded with minor adjustments, like so many other cues in this score. (Although the Opening SInk seems weird to me - it possibly includes a new overlay for the 3 Note Loop.) Any thoughts on it like this? I know some of you will say I take it too close with the movie, but with a complete presentation I really can't separate them, and I'm not even sure one should.

Jay 37,416 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 My thoughts are unchanged. There is no reason to include music tracked in from SS on a COS expanded score release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,654 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I agree with @Holko. I think the score should include tracked pieces from the film, if they help the album program flow in a pleasing way - if it's done at the composer's request or discretion.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Chamber is also a pretty unique case. I wouldn't mind it much with that specific score. But in general, I agree with BB's above post. Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoS will have a few narrative gaps, since the tracked music won't be included on the complete score. Unlike the JP Collection the left space is needed for alternates and source music.

bollemanneke 3,357 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I hope any expanded HP2 release contains tracked music. After all, wouldn't it slightly broaden the general public's interest in COS's case? If you remove tracked music, there really are big holes in the score, story-wise. Myrtle's Tale just doesn't work for me if it doesn't contain that three note loop material and Tom Riddle needs to die too. And as has been pointed out already, JW wanted that music to be tracked. PS: Lots of people seem to assume such expanded releases are coming in the very near future. Dare I hope too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
