Jay 35,272 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 From an email that just went out by Omni letting people know Elfman's Batman is back in stock:Many of you know by now that film composer James Horner passed away in a tragic accident on June 22nd. Musicians everywhere have been saddened by this news, your editor included. Sadly, this happened at a time when the next book to be released is WILLOW. James knew this was forthcoming, he even allowed me to look over his personal copy. Hopefully, this news can shed even a small amount of light in such a dark time.

bruckhorn 103 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Does Willow have music that didn't make it to soundtrack? If so, how much?So much for being first to post this. Saw the e-mail, came here to post, and then got distracted by having to go eat cake. It was good cake. Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Willow follows suit, that's ~30 minutes of music not currently commercially available for unencumbered listening. Specialty labels better get on an expanded release...

Jay 35,272 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yea all the other omni releases are the complete score. Batman and BTTF have their complete scores on CD, but Edward Scissorhands, The Matrix, and now Willow do not. I have no clue about Silverado.

RedBard 71 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So am I.I always love unreleased cues. It gives me something to digitally render. ^_^In the meantime, I have to wonder:If it was up to you, what film score (beside Willow) would've been a better epitaph for Horner? This isn't to say that the music of Willow is inferior in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Score 743 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 What are the other two?Titanic and Braveheart. These and Willow are my favourite among Horner's scores. What I particularly like in Willow is that the cues are rather long (according to the standards of film music) and so they allowed more musical development than usual.

bruckhorn 103 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah, the big band charts would be fun to explore. When I contemplated if Omni were to do a Horner score, which would be first, I came up with Cocoon. The complete score has been released (thank you, Intrada), it's not Star Trek, and it's not Lucas related; I figured it was the easiest to do with the most interest.

Popular Post filmusicfan 24 Posted July 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi All,Omni Music owner/editor here. Just released the third print run for Batman, and felt it wise to include in the announcement that Willow is in the works. Felt people could use some good news about Horner. It's sad he won't be able to see the finished product. All the other releases were given to the composers, sometimes personally.It seems by the posts that some of you are curious about the music, since this will be the first Omni release that doesn't have a complete soundtrack. Here's a list of the music you can expect to be included. Keep in mind that Horner never titled his compositions. In fact, only one had an official title, so I had to make them up based on the scene:1m1 Elora's Birth / Titles (CD Elora Danan)-missing village festival source--missing High Aldwin fanfare-2m5 Village Attack (Not on CD)3m1 Saying Goodbye (Not on CD)3m2 Bavmorda & Kael (Not on CD)3m3 Search / Travel Montage (some material contained in Willow's Journey Begins)4m2 Crossroads (some material contained in Willow's Journey Begins)4m3 The Brownies (Not on CD)-missing tavern source--dust of broken heart tracked in from 7m2-3 / 8m1-5m2 Escape From The Tavern (same as CD)6m0 Bavmorda Slaps Kael (Not on CD)-missing Willow's first use of the wand (improv shakuhachi)--missing arrival at the island--missing meeting Fin Razel (Fairlight pad and pan flute)-7m0 Sorsha Arrives (Not on CD)7m1 The Trek (Not on CD)7m2-3 / 8m1 Snowy Escape (Not on CD)8m2 Canyon Of Mazes (same as CD)9m1 Tir Asleen Battle Pt. 19m2 Tir Asleen Battle Pt. 2 (combined for the CD as Tir Asleen)10m1 Spell / Razel Transforms (first half of Bavmorda's Spell Is Cast)11m1 / 2 Nockmaar Battle Pt. 1 (second half of Bavmorda's Spell Is Cast)(NOTE: Bavmorda's Spell Is Cast is broken in two at the 09:13 mark)12m1 / 2 Nockmaar Battle Pt.212m4 End Credits12m1-2-4 are Willow The Sorcerer on the CD. The tune lead-in to the end credits has no written music, improvised based on charts, however the orchestra starts with pizz. before the statement of the adventure theme starting at 07:33. Some of this may require takedowns, which is nothing new. I had to transcribe the cue from Edward "Picking The Lock." Same with "Picture Fades" from BTTF.Based on time stamps of the files, I've been working since March 28th. There are 3 more left to engrave, then it's a matter of proofing to the recording, and printing. This one should be ready in a month, early August is realistic.

filmusicfan 24 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Willow is an international release. I haven't sought after rights for the poster artwork yet, but if it's possible, then I'll use whatever Sony provides. Cover artwork is the furthest thing from my mind. I'm more focused on getting the music inputted. Thanks for the enthusiasm. RedBard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score 743 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 No, seriously, I cannot imagine a single good reason why it will be available everywhere in the world EXCEPT in Europe. What kind of crazy copyright requirement would exclude a continent? I mean, I can accept (although not understand) that some titles are available only in the U.S.A., but if the release is "worldwide", it should be really worldwide.I hope we will know the reason soon!
