Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 The musicians playing these scores are instructed not to talk about this kind of stuff with anyone. They risk losing their jobs by sharing this stuff. Which is more reason for me to not believe it.Was Jim Self under contract when he gave us details on the War Horse score? The same for the other leaker who gave us an idea of how Tintin and War Horse sounded. Wasn't there also one for Lincoln too?The musicians were comfortable enough to take pictures of the sessions too. In fact, that's probably more dangerous than them giving details of the score. At least with that they have anonymity.It's not that far fetched that they would give away small details from the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,018 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Attack music from the OT!Maybe they meant Rebel fanfare?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_K 6 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That's what I think. Some are jumping to conclusions that this is just a lift of "TIE Fighter Attack"- I'm crossing my fingers for a wonderful arrangement with the Rebel Fanfare at the fore, like the Sail Barge Assault cue. One could call that "attack music from the OT" but it was by no means a direct lift. It was a sensational action cue using elements from previous material. I'm hoping for something like that to appear in TFA. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I feel the same way. It would be cool to hear a new rendition in the film, perhaps acting as counterpoint to new material (such as the fanfaric rendition of Anakin's theme in "Panaka and the Queen's Protectors" that features short fragments of the main theme) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pete 907 Posted August 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2015 News!!!!!!Andrew Bain has served as the principal horn for the L.A. Philharmonic for the past four years, and even he continues to do studio work. He is currently working on "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which will be released in December and features a score by John Williams."It's one of the absolute highlights of my career," the horn player said, adding that the soundtrack is being recorded in L.A. over a number of weeks. "It's amazing how new and fresh John's music is, but it's also distinctively 'Star Wars.'" Not Mr. Big, Cerebral Cortex and Muad'Dib 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,318 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It's obvious that any "new and fresh" sounding music in these sessions must have been written by Ross and orchestrated by Pope.After the blatant self-plagiarism Williams did with Chamber of Secrets, I wouldn't trust him with such a high-profile sequel. Star Wars music is distinctly Star Wars though. Apart from to those people who say it sounds like Superman, I mean. Don't you mean Back To The Future? He wrote that score too, you know.

The Comic-Con reel was actually for the shooting wrap up party (before any of the music was recorded) so if they're to show anything at D23 I'm willing to bet multiple dollars that it'll have some new score in it.
