link?

www.starwars.com. The music that plays before the livestream. Of course much of it is old, but some of it could be new, listening now.

Thanks for noticing that! That music at the beginning of the live stream certainly sounds new. It sounds Williams-esque, and I have to admit I really like it. Whoever it's by, it is a stunningly beautiful melody. (Could plausibly be the end of the end credits.) But is it actually Williams?

[King Mark 3,225]

at the 1.01 there is a NEW version of the Imperial March

Not sure how I feel about that festive "major key" Imperial March...hope that's not from the score...

Starting at the very beginning, the first couple minutes.

[King Mark 3,225]

Problem with the music is mixed by those shit Trailer versions, so it's hard to tell what's really new Williams

I thought there was a new cool bombastic version of Leia's theme at the beginning but it goes into that choral version of Han and Leia from the trailer

[Balahkay 626]

I'm just hearing Luke's and Leia theme and the ROTJ end credits.

[Will 2,131]

That first music I thought was Williams, but now the rest just seems to be odd medleys. I mean, Ewok theme mixed with with Vader's theme? Seriously? Could that actually be something Williams wrote for TFA?

[mrbellamy 5,718]

Same, I'm just getting Luke/Leia's theme at the beginning.

[Will 2,131]

Whoops. My bad, that's definitely Luke and Leia's theme, not new music. Don't know what I was thinking. Probably got lots of people's hopes up. Sorry.

[Jay 32,101]

I dunno, I'm not convinced the runners of this stream would have been given the TFA OST to use as a music bed when there's already 12 hours of Star Wars music to choose from

[Lewya 360]

Much of it is old but some stuff sounded new, but I haven't gone through most of it. That version of the Imperial March is new for instance, I haven't heard it at least but might be something else from The Rebels by Kiner or something i'm not familar with. Need to give it another listen, I didn't recognize it at least.

[Balahkay 626]

After the credits, it's nothing but silence on my end. At around the 10 minute mark, some Emperor music from ROTJ plays.

[King Mark 3,225]

Well, that Imperial March new version is very elaborate. I think it's Williams

[Balahkay 626]

Did anyone record it?

[A Farewell to Kings 3,795]

The Battle of the Five Armies Stream had music from the BOTFA OST...

[Jay 32,101]

I know it did.

[MissPadmé 17]

That major variation of the Imperial March was a cheaply made mock-up version and sounded like spoof/ridiculous... no way that's something written by Williams - you guys are funny..

[Lewya 360]

Did anyone record it?

You can scroll back in the stream and listen to the earlier stuff. You can hear it at 1 hour 1 minute 20 seconds in or something like that.

Yeah, it sounds like something from The Rebells by Kiner.

[Jay 32,101]

Esther, you're back! Welcome back!

That Imperial March variation does not sound like a Williams arrangement and certainly doesn't sound like what I expect the TFA score to sound like

[King Mark 3,225]

The new Star Wars score:

Over 100 minutes of ureleased Music by John Williams

Over 100 minutes of unreleased music by random trailer guys

Over 12 minutes of the album conducted by some other guy

Cellar Song by jjabrams and whatever

There's interviews going on at the hour mark on my side. No worries... I'll hear the real music in 4 or less days anyway. I've waited over two years for this so I can wait a few more days.

[Romão 2,184]

That version of the Imperial March is from Rebels, episode "Empire Day"

You can hear it here (track Glory of the Empire):

[Jay 32,101]

Great, thanks Romão!

And I can't believe that fooled King Mark!

[Not Mr. Big 4,244]

You can't?

[A Farewell to Kings 3,795]

I thought there was a new cool bombastic version of Leia's theme at the beginning but it goes into that choral version of Han and Leia from the trailer

Looks like that was the part replaced by Confidential Musics Piano bit.

[King Mark 3,225]

ok, so none of the music is new Williams

it makes no sense, if it was that good they'd be showing it off ,no? why use old stuff and other composers?

I'm a bit worried about the new themes

[KK 3,254]

Most of the JWFan old-timers can't seem to recognize his music much anymore these days. No big surprise...

[Jay 32,101]

Well I skipped through the stream and heard nothing that sounds like it would be the TFA OST.

So we got a false alarm here, nothing to see - music wise, I mean! It's still cool that something like this is streamed in general

[King Mark 3,225]

What bothers me is that NO new Williams music was used to promote the film AT ALL

[Lewya 360]

Doesn't seem much new but not gone through most of it as I said... and the stuff I don't recognize is most likely not Williams.

[Dixon Hill 4,232]

[Not Mr. Big 4,244]

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,479]

All I'm hearing is Augie's parade.

I just saw Spielberg and Willie Scott wearing a ridiculous outfit.

[Manakin Skywalker 3,891]

You know I finally figured out why it's called "Augie's Great Municipal Band"

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Augara_Jowil

​

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,479]

But who came up with the name Augie?

[Incanus 5,589]

But who came up with the name Augie?

That is a mystery we will probably never find out.

The music for Teaser 2 was also in the premiere video

[King Mark 3,225]

I'd like someone to rip the " Princess Leia's Theme/Han Solo and the Princess" from the beginning of the red carpet premiere
