Jay 37,336 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice review Koray. I think it is easily the best score of the year. It's like everything Williams is best at all combined into one score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice review Koray. I think it is easily the best score of the year. It's like everything Williams is best at all combined into one score.Yes. Even those 3 preview tracks heard on the radio show confirmed that.

Jay 37,336 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 But it's like that throughout. It's a JOHN WILLIAMS SCORE through and through - every note is just so Williams. But it never sounds like any specific existing score... its so fresh. It's somehow the best of Williams while being fresh at the same time... a remarkable achievement.

Thanks Koray!Please tell me: the theme heard at 6:18 of The Homecoming, does it appear at other instances on the soundtrack? Is it a recurring theme of the score? Thanks so much for letting me know!

Jay 37,336 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I couldn't even tell you which track is my favorite, because the entire CD is terrific from the first note to the last. I couldn't even tell you which theme is my favorite, because they are all terrific. Even the times a recurring theme is not playing, it seems like each track has its own melodies that are good enough to be themes on their own... only they don't appear again. The score is just pure bliss from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 797 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Does it have any Boom Tzzzz?No, it arguably has the greatest theme Williams wrote since Schindler's List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1_freeze 131 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 The greatest theme JW wrote since Schindler's has to be Hedwig's Theme, very hard to top that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Does it sound James Horner-like? Broad, longlined themes that get a lot a variation throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitam 364 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 hmmm... comparing this new score to Munich is not the best way to get me excited... but nevertheless, I am excited ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlao-roo 389 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 2001 saw Williams scoring some magnificent melodic homeruns for both Harry Potter (Hedwig's Theme) and A.I. (Monica's Theme and The Blue Fairy Theme). I don't think he's written anything else since that can really compete with the sort of themes he used to spin off so effortlessly up through the early '90s.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Probably one of those scores that makes you regret you'll have to die someday and won't be able to hear them anymore.As far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,630 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 That "theme" at 6.18 in The Homecoming is the same as in the Trailer 2 (the loud ending section that's looped). The melody is the same but it has an "inverted" note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The melody is the same but it has an "inverted" noteNo, that theme is the Celtic theme (heard in full in The Homecoming). It is melodically and structurally very different from the theme at 6:16.It does continue after it, but I don't recall hearing it anywhere else on the album.The theme heard at 6:16 of The Homecoming appears during track 15 played on piano (as heard in one of the samples).

Joe Brausam 214 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I can't wait to hear this, you're all making it sound wonderful!The three full tracks that we're made available really speak volumes for it already, it's gorgeous. It's sounding like its going to be the kind of score I've been hoping to hear for a long time, an honest to goodness breath of fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a recurring theme of the score? Thanks so much for letting me know!I was asking myself the same question when I heard that theme ... I want a full concert version of it! I was afraid it was the only time it appeared, but it appears twice more on the preceding two tracks--one is a piano rendition, and another is a full orchestral reference. I guess it's like how Williams had that cool theme in the Reunion in Sleepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
