SF1_freeze 131 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I listened to the Cinematic Sound preview of Rise of the Guardians and what i hear is fantastic! Didn't know i would say that about Desplat .I say that as a very vocal critic of his Potter scores (mainly the subpar DH1). This is a whole other face and a fabulous work judging on those 20 minutes of previewed tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I don't understand all this "restricted" talk regarding this score.

But his Potter scores bored me to death and I thought it was apparent he was given a fairly strict framework from which to compose. I was merely stating how happy I am to hear this quality of music from him again. And I LOVE Golden Compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think it's a huge improvement over Potter but still weak thematically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The themes go a bit too much in tried-and-tested Silvestri-territory, but the orchestration is much more imaginative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 yes,I agree. The orchestrations are very nice which sets it apart from the likes of Debney,Powell...The delicate cues are the best. The action music still sounds very generic and unfortunately so do all the brass fanfares. With Williams scores ALL transitional brass fanfares are awesome in their own right or become holy grails of unreleased music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 At first Desplat's music sounds good, the more I listen to it, music reminds me of Blumenkohl's picture.Too much everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Which Desplat? Because ROTG is hardly representative. Most of the rest is very transparently orchestrated, hence it's lukewarm reception by fans of american film music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the rest is very transparently orchestrated, hence it's lukewarm reception by fans of american film music.Well I find that Desplat's music is oftentimes emotionally lukewarm but his orchestrations quite unique and strong. But Rise of the Guardians score has some wonderful emotional warmth to it in its best moments. As fun as the fanfaric bustle in the music is, the quieter material here has the strongest emotional resonance for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Because he mostly rewrites other people's music in the loud moments (Elfman, Silvestri, Debney etc.). It is good, but you still feel a bit underwhelmed by the sheer familiarity knowing how unique Desplat usually sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelm 2,913 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Conrad Pope should get the credit for the orchestration here. I saw some of desplat's sketches and though he clearly knows what he's doing and is a consumite pro, it is Conrad's orch that breathes life into it and really raises it up a notch. I wonder if the film was extensively temped with silvestri and Powell hence the similarities in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurkensalat 340 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Watches the movie some weeks ago and found it very entertaining, especially in 3D (excellent use of 3D!). And I liked the music, so I looked around and found a download of the complete version from the FYC site. Started listening, liking the music very much, but what it is with the horrible sound quality? Harsh and distorted in the woodwinds? After a few tracks I gave up. But since I wanted to have the music, I managed to find a reasonably priced used CD of the official soundtrack and bought it. Much better, excellent sound quality! I knew only the Potter scores from Desplat and found them not so good, so I am pleasantly surprised by this great score. Very colorful and full of surprises. Nice discovery for me. And I don't think I am missing to much from the complete soundtrack; the CD experience seems quite rounded. Footnote: I assume that the extreme similarity to the main theme from Bruckners 6th symphony is coincidental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OflReU5RlZM&t=1m11s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Very good score. Pope and his wife did a.great job orchestrating this . No expansion necessary. This is the only Desplat score I own! On 10/19/2012 at 3:11 AM, BloodBoal said: Only soundtrack collectors would buy a CD with such an awful cover. It makes me wish I wasn't one of them. Definitely needs a custom cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
