Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The part I heard had a similar motif to Amistad. Kind of sounded like 3:27 of Adams Takes the Case.Coincidentally, I just commented the other day that perhaps the only redeeming quality of my awful city is that the first scene with Anthony Hopkins in Amistad was shot at the state house here, and of course Williams composed music for it. See: the first half of this track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowUStheHOOK 8 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I looked at the official cover to the score album on amazon and noticed one thing that jumped out at me.It says Music by John Williams, as opposed to music composed and conducted by john williams.anyone know if this is just a mis print or if williams isn't conducting this one?

Erik Woods 555 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The Cinematic Sound preview shouldn't be too much longer, right? Now that Erik's already posted his Skyfall preview? I don't know how long he usually waits in between shows.I'm shooting for next week... probably mid week. It will be included in my 2012 round-up show since I really haven't played any of the new scores that have come out this year.BTW, I'm going to share with you some of my initial notes I typed out while listening to the score. I just got through my first listen and I'm just simply blown away by this score.- The first track melted me. It's so simple but really nothing is ever simple for Williams. There is just so much love and care for the music, the orchestration, the emotion. - Some might find this score to be Williams noodling around a la the Coplandesque moments in Saving Private Ryan but this music has direction, it's melodic, dramatic - at times playful - and very delicate.. The recording of each solo instrument is also lovely. - It's what I expected and so far I'm really getting into the score... savoring each and every detail, theme, and motif. A perfect score to keep me company while I work. And now I'm experiencing "'With Malice Toward None.' No one, and I mean no one in film music writes for strings the way Williams does- I want to personally thank John Williams (like he reads this) for "The Peterson House and Finale." An 11 minute tone poem (I hope I'm using those words correctly) that is simply one of the most stunning cues of Williams' career. - It's not difficult music but the performances have to be precise for it to work. I think it's lovely music and I assume Shawn Murphy recorded the score (I don't have the credits in front of me) which is perfectly captured. When those strings warm up it's delightful!So, on album the score is magnificent!-Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Per se, i have nothing against a well-rounded Williams americana score - i had it coming with Spielberg again playing nation's history teacher - i only hope it has more engaging thematic material than just tone-poemic SPR material, however well orchestrated.
