Mari 279 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 For JWFans who want to see The Book Thief before it opens nationwide on November 15, it is hitting the film festival circuit over the next few weeks: Mill Valley Film Festival: October 3 - info here Chicago International Film Festival: October 22 - info here Heartland Film Festival: October 26 - info here Savannah Film Festival: October 29 - info here Lone Star Film Festival: 9 - info here Some of the festivals have been previously mentioned, but I thought it would be helpful to list them all in one post.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 A comment regarding the score from someone who saw an advanced screening from IMDb:Not to disappoint you, but I don't feel it was his strongest score. Fairly generic. The accordion played by Hans is much more integral to the tone then William's contributions. It may even be that the accordion elements are so strong, they overpower any work the score does. I always pay close attention to film scores - Jon Brion is one of my favorite musicians!http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816442/board/thread/220488568I feel a lot of people will start panicking from this - I'm not familiar with Brion's scores though, so I don't know what this guy means by "generic" (this word has become more annoying than "epic")But still, makes me wonder: Was the accordion stuff composed by Williams too? Maybe that's why he signed so early to the picture, they needed some diegetic music composed before the actual shooting took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I doubt the accordion music was composed by Williams, but who knows. It's possible the film won't have much score, but he will record extended pieces for the album, like Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 so the accordion pieces will get more attention than williams work. great.but heck, williams has written great music for accordion...so maybe it is his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 In the book, the character of Hans Hubermann plays classical and folk dance pieces on the accordion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieC 13 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I agree, Michael: the use of the word 'generic' may not quite be the most useful term.Generic is fine I would say...the issue is perhaps more about 'invention' within an established mode (genre). The Star Wars scores are generic (as adventure scores) but work with such invention that they move 'beyond' only what is expected. Not sure if I've explained my line of thought clearly enough. Hmmm...Ahhh... the unending tangle of enjoyment that is 'trying to talk about music'. JCPS: Scorsese movies are generic, for example, as are Spielberg movies...they start at generic and then move 'beyond' that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post karelm 2,912 Posted October 4, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2013 Some details about the music:* 5 day scoring session* Score was for strings, piano, woodwind octet and for 2 days they added four French horns and two percussionists.* Not much timpani - mostly motorized marimba parts and vibraphone (patterns based on the strings movement) - played softly under strings.* Recorded without click. Musicians didn't need to wear headphones since there was no click. This is unusual in that they could hear each other better and balance more musically.

That's all Williams knows how to write. What's disappointing is that early in his career, there were signs that Williams was capable of more -- or less, as it were. But, sadly, the man never developed a voice for the subpar, settling instead for bland, stultifying brilliance. Any composer not audacious enough to flirt with mediocrity is not a true artist.

Sounds like it is going to be a quite intimate score. And no click track, which always promises to be good for the performance. And we should not jump to conclusions on the score based on that single comment.Of course, you wouldn't have said that if the guy had written that the score was awesome.Of course I am positive about a new Williams score. But in case you didn't notice, I did not jump through the roof after the first positive review that mentioned that Williams score was great. I am waiting for information to come in before starting all out jubilations BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 so the accordion pieces will get more attention than williams work. great.Maybe voters will confuse things and Williams will win the Oscar because of the accordion bits . Just like Santaollala won for pieces he didn't compose for the film or other film score win because of the associated songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Is the click track used for tempo and syncing music to the action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
