Will Tasker 21 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I think John is looking much better then he did a few months ago. It sounds like the score may be a very interesting one indeed.I agree with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrannon47 0 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Possible Music & Video from The Force Awakens (combined Comic-Con Reel & 60 Minutes Clip)I noticed something when listening to Abrams sing the melody to Williams. See the video I posted here: [removed]I wrote this out in the YouTube description, but pasted it below for discussion:CBS Evening News just uploaded a segment on Star Wars: The Force Awakens (https://youtu.be/lxzUEl0loU8?t=1m at about 1:00) in which a new transitional theme is played by the orchestra under the direction of John Williams. Later in that same video (at 1:35), J.J. Abrams makes a note about a cue he hums, which sounds very similar to the music we saw at 1:00. (Though he sings it in the same key, it seems Abrams leaves out two eighth notes). Abrams' notes on the cue seem to indicate the passage will be associated with "the interior of the transport." One possible shot that lines up with this has already been shared during Comic-Con, with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Comic-Con 2015 Reel (https://youtu.be/CTNJ51ghzdY?t=50s at :50). The chances of this lining up in the actual film are slim, but the style and the timing seem to line up. It's nearly impossible to tell, and it could be completely wrong, but it's fun to guess! Edit: Well, I received a takedown notice so the video is no longer available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,316 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Slim indeed, considering the shot looks like it was only for the Comic Con reel. It fits the tone of that scene though and is quite menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jim Shooter 5 Posted December 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2015 Star Wars is anything BUT modern cinema. It has its own cinematic and musical style. It can't be compared to anything, because it's one of a kind, therefore it can't be outdated. Star Wars IS John Williams, and take away his music, Star Wars becomes ridiculous. I'm very glad to see Williams healthy and conducting. His beard and hair looks whiter and nicer than ever. No matter how good or original his new score will be, we are very lucky to have a composer like him still working with full Force. Thank you very much, maestro Williams for giving us another masterpiece! Jay, crumbs, karelm and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I really like that second cue with the low strings, reminds me a lot of Vader's first theme from ANH and subsequent music from the Deathstar. Sounds very Empire and flavors of the OT.Can't not talk about the first (action?) cue though, really nice rendition of Luke's Theme/Main Star Wars Theme that even begins to sound a bit menacing at some point.Then the third cue, which could be a part of the second cue sounds a lot like JW's Harry Potter work which is fantastic, I like that magical sort of whimsical sound that it has. Could be a celeste playing, John Williams certainly loves those.The opening of the first cue reminds me of Hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinspace 8 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Couple of points:Be interesting to see if they add atrocious amounts of artificial reverb like in Tintin... why didn't he score it at Fox or some other stage with a more live sound?Even Fox is too dry I think ( avatar) but are I guess there are no other stages..I think it's unrealistic to expect a radical change of style but if it sounds anything like the ESB or ROTS it's going to be good.. dark and moody...And what was the eerie pulsing chord pattern just when the video cut to JJ Abrahms.. it sounds like they might be using a continuum fingerboard which was used in KOTS. https://www.ece.illinois.edu/newsroom/article/275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
