Harry's Wondrous World, the one obviously intended as a post-score wrapup, that clearly takes the family and friends theme in new directions, not establishes them... yeah, track 2, great. I also hate when he does it in SW, he includes the post-titles opening cue, maybe sticks something unrelated onto it but it sure is a film cue, you're eased into his quick live writing he does, you think it's properly starting, and yanks you out to take a step back to play concert pieces that are a completely different kind of writing and scream "I'm not advancing the storytelling, especially here!". I think TFA/TLJ do a lot better at integrating them than the prequels or ESB or TROS. At least somethink like Crystal Skull is all concert pieces or concertlike edits for a while, it's a proper long overture instead of starting proper then stepping back. And when you yank out a proper score cue highlight... chances are, more often than not it's truly a highlight because it's a climactic payoff to a buildup, not only because it's well done. But now that you yanked it out, it's not a payoff, and the buildup won't work without it, so you now kind of have to mess all that up too. No matter, the normies who just wanna hear da cool song from da moovi can just listen to the first 2 tracks and stop (maybe if those were sprinkled throughout they'd have more incentive to listen and grow to appreciate the rest of it too?) and the semi-normies who are too lazy to live with something, do a deep dive, get into it, discover things, appreciate structure and arcs and setup and payoff and thematic development and musical storytelling, and just want alternating high and low energy tracks so they won't get bored, will say it's a GrEaT lIsTeNiNg ExPeRiEnCe anyway.

Popular Post Chewy 2,379 Posted August 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2020 No idea if anyone has done it already but I thought it would be great to see how the alternate of The Plane would fit with the picture. Now, after watching it several times, I have to say that I'm starting to prefer it over the version chosen for the movie. I especially love the fact that here, the choir starts as soon as Jim touches the plane. It just works perfectly. I will always remember the first time I saw this scene, after almost 30 minutes without music, this is the real turning point of the movie. And by the way, if some of you still don't have this 2 CD set, I highly recommend you to get it before it goes out of print, it's easily one my favorite score (and film) discoveries of the last few years.

ragoz350 450 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 While there is WotW hype on jwfan, I suddenly decided to make EOTS mockup. This is a cue 2M1 "Journey in Costumes" - old alternative to Trip Through the Crowd. In fact, this cue turned out to be even more interesting than I expected. I haven't tried matching the mockup to the movie yet, but it looks like it should match for final editing. My little cringe description: The beginning of the cue is very similar to the beginning of the final version (the "screamer" in the old version sounds more simple). The chorus enters at the same moment as in the final version, but sounds darker and more dissonant (the repeating chords of the electronic piano are a little like the ending of The Streets of Shanghai). Further, a completely different material begins. The piano solo plays a repetitive short motive. Gradually, other instruments are added, the tremolo of strings ceases to sound, and a sudden dramatic climax appears (apparently, this is how Williams wanted to demonstrate that Jim perceives the world differently from this moment on). And the cue ends on a dissonant chord. fommes and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This version of the cue is not bad in its idea, but in the film it certainly does not sound entirely appropriate (especially this piano solo). As for me, the situation is similar with The Return to the City - I really love the old version (I even think it could have been included in OST album instead of the final one), but in the film it would have sounded strange.

Though overall, I think the choice to use Liberation/Exultate Justi instead of this was the right one. ragoz350 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ragoz350 450 Posted December 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2020 So here's a video with a synced mockup. It looks like the cue was supposed to start approx the moment Basie tosses the chocolate to Jim. And then with the quiet sound of tam-tam, we move on to the next scene. I had to slow down the establishing shots a little (~3/4 speed), since I apparently took a slow speed of mockup. And the march itself is synchronized perfectly, nothing had to be edited. All sync points are in place. I don't like the transition to the next scene with the final chord, but it seems that this was originally intended.

ragoz350 450 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Btw can anyone understand what is written here? (It's the same cue 15M2). Quality of leaked score is not very good. This is a piatti line, but in one place something else should sound - "??? sound". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragoz350 450 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The first word is 100% "piatti", this is clear from the rest of the score. But what sound, I could not understand before. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Wow, that was also fantastic to finally hear after all this time. I have a feeling if it had been recorded, I would prefer it in my main program over the shortened reprise (pre-prise?) of Exsultate Justi . Very cool! fommes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,337 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Read the liner notes and loved them. MM is such a great writer. Now started the audio interview. Why is it a WAV file? Tim Burden sounds really different here. Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I love liner notes, I read them when I have trouble sleeping! Quote Rising sixth appears twice in the theme: in the antecedent mm. 1-2 it is a major sixth, and in the consequent mm. 3-4 it is a minor sixth. This minor Urmotiv adds a sense constraint to the consequent phrase. Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
