Brónach 1,301 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I hear a new theme!! in Sir Francis and Clash of the Cranes!!I love the tone of this score. And Haddock's theme. And the french-like moments combined with the mickey-mousing combined with the pirate music combined with the heroic moments combined with the jazzy moments etcDa-da, da da daaa is definitely Tintin's theme.And listen for the development in the Sir Frances sample of the Unicorn theme!!!

Incanus 5,713 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sounds excellent! And yes Jason as you said the choice of sample segments is much better. And there is definitely an element of fun in the music, a certain feel that makes you think the composer had fun while writing it. The orchestrations practically glow in this one.

Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 This is amazing! I definetly love what I'm hearing, and I imagine that Williams must have had so much fun doing this!Two minor things: First, now I get what FilmComposer911 meant with the Hook ripoff, although I don't see it so much as a rip-off and more as a sort of auto-parody.And second, The Adventures Continues!!!! It's amazing. I reminds me just a bit of the Force Theme, but on speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Where? I don't hear it.Captain Haddock Takes the Oars. It's very similar to Captain Hook's Theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 1,301 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The twist on that theme in Return to Marlinspike is great. Williams seems to be covering the different sides of Haddock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Where? I don't hear it.Captain Haddock Takes the Oars. It's very similar to Captain Hook's Theme.I can't hear a very direct melodic connection. Perhaps the Hook/Smee theme's awkward gait is similar to Haddock's inebriated music.

It's very similar to Captain Hook's Theme.It's funny - people think Haddock's Theme sounds like Hook in that sample, and like Home Alone in the "Capturing Mr. Silk" sampleI also like the rising statements of Tintin's theme in Escape from the Karaboudjan.Yea, reminds me of Indiana Jones.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Some nice timbral variety but fails to break any new ground. Sounding like another solid but unremarkable effort from Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 It was nice to hear the Williams does quote the main theme on the Adventures of Tintin track which is only logical but the previous sample ousted the rendition of the main theme completely.There is a definitely European vibe to the orchestration and instrumentation but it is very classic JW sound at the same time, the music brimming with dexterity, fun and heroics.

And please let's not go into it very deeply so as not to derail the discussion. I meant that it sounds mostly like the John Williams we know and love. In Tintin's case the music reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade a lot in its light hearted and adventurous tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
