Popular Post The Dark Trilogy 39 Posted March 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2014 Just great!Watch the whole clip. Especially at 3:24, where The Imperial March starts. Never seen The Empire Strikes Back recording sessions? Seems Anvil Studios to me.And on 4:24 there is Saving Private Ryan. Omen II, crocodile, Muad'Dib and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Never seen The Empire Strikes Back recording sessions?A documentary released (I believe in the UK) in 1980 called "Star Wars: Music by John Williams" features some recording session footage from the The Empire Strikes Back. The whole documentary is on YouTube. Part 2 has some nice goodies.Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGsbKZnaT8E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has one of the proper glimpses at the whole scoring process Williams goes through with a film from spotting sessions to working with the music editor to time the scenes and then composing, orchestrating (the great moment with Herb Spencer in there) and recording.It is a shame no longer sections of the recording sessions have not been released in a docu form but I think the marketability to casual fan is close to zero."Watch the composer and orchestra fitting a cue to the scene! Hear Williams giving players instructions on bar 27 of Battle in the Snow! Watch Ken Wannberg in the recording booth with Eric Tomlinson! See Lionel Newman! Experience the power of doing 5 takes of the Asteroid Field and the composer stopping the performance mid-bar in 3 of them to improve the dynamics! All this and more on ESB recording sessions!"

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 He's not too happy though in the session. I can't find that.I know this documentary very well, but the recording of The Imperial March showcasing in the interview is not on the documentary.And it's also good to see some of that footage with a better quality.
