Demondm810 399 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 That's fine, if nothing else it goes with my other Williams FYC promos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,707 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I think the fact that Williams' FYC promos have the same content as OSTs highlights that all he's worried about is how his music will be seen critically, away from the film, whether it be fans or award consideration.I wonder if this is symptomatic of Wiliams being very much a concert composer nowadays, and therefore only writing some parts of a score for dramatic sake, and not intending for them to be heard as music.

gkgyver 1,646 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 8 flutes? Sounds excessive.Or does that include Piccolo, C Flute, and any alto flutes or whistles (even though I don't remember some in there)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That would include the entire flute family, yes. Still a hell of a lot. And six percussionists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,646 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I like it when I read this. More flutes than french horns.That makes me hope that maybe, just maybe, Zimmer has not yet eaten all the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,049 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Since when is a low ratio of flutes to horns indicative of Zimmerlike music? Williams' music typically features six or even eight horns, and rarely more than three flutes/piccolos/alto flutes/recorders simultaneously.

Jay 37,416 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that the Chamber of Secrets sessions would be out there. There has been a video on youtube since 2009 that plays selections from them and shows the whole track list.

AIFan 16 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm sure it's probably already been stated somewhere in this topic, but it's a shame that the Williams' scores to the Harry Potter movies have not received better treatment (a la the box set presentation that the later Desplat scores received). They definitely deserve it, and Warner missed their chance to do so in the multiple times they've released the movies (as individual films, box set DVDs, and box set Blu Rays). The first two scores, at least, have certainly become more culturally iconic than any of the other films, and so I'm hoping one day they'll get the expanded treatment they deserve.AIFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,441 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Comparing the OST material to the sessions, I noticed the opening of Prologue: Book II doesn't match. It sounds like the celeste at the very beginning could be a different take, as it's slightly faster on the OST. Then, when the orchestra comes in, it's different again - or at least edited differently. From there, the material seems to overlap as expected. Anyone else notice this?

crocodile 8,027 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 So, once again, in William Ross' own words: Quote I was involved because of a conflict in John’s schedule. As he explained it to me, he was unable to devote the time to the score for the second Harry Potter film that he felt it deserved. I believe he worked out a solution that was satisfactory to the parties involved. Basically I was there to adapt the music from the first Harry Potter film into the score for the second film, “The Chamber of Secrets”.In addition, John would write the new material that would be necessary. I would use material from the first score and the new material he would write to create the score for the second film. Quote At that meeting he told me how much he enjoyed the Harry Potter films and how much he wished he could devote the time to the second film. He had apparently worked out an option with Warner Bros. and the filmmakers where he would write new material for the second film, and oversee the adaptation of music from the first film into the score for the second film. Somehow he had come up with my name and asked me if I would be interested. Karol - who stole SF1_freeze's link from the other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,441 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It's amazing we have multiple interviews with Ross discussing this, and none with Williams. So far I haven't found a single interview where he discusses Chamber of Secrets at all, except for a very brief couple of comments on the DVD special features.

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 John Williams did write ALL of the music for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. As supported by William Ross, John Williams could not come to conduct the music and be as involved as he wanted to because of scheduling conflicts. So, John Williams asked William Ross to adapt some of the music from the first film into the second film. John Williams oversaw the adapting process, as well as composed new themes and cues. William Ross, having gotten this information and material, conducted the music. William Ross DID NOT compose any additional material for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. All of the music was by John Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,441 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Listening to the complete score, it's usually pretty clear which material is new and which is from the first film, and that is probably the dividing line between the work of Ross and Williams. The only thing that makes them harder to distinguish is when a cue is made up of some new and some old material.I would have liked to make an edit without any of the recycled stuff, but cues like that make it difficult. Plus some of the new material still rehashes, say, the Stone motif, which I would otherwise have liked to just edit out and pretend it wasn't used.
