They should have played the music only and just make the actor stare and not say anything this stands to this day as my most ruined JW moment I think the cue is one of the very few instances where Williams didn't write the cue "around" the dialogue, but let the music score the feeling of the scene in a sort of Morricone-like approach, something he did very rarely. By consequence, you can sense a bit more the mixing console faders going up and down when dialogue comes in, so to speak. greenturnedblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Williams was probably in error there. They had little choice but to turn down the volume of his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen II 1,235 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The world premiere will be at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 4th November this year, with two performances the following day. Ludwig Wicki conducts the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Tickets go on sale in, ooh, about three minutes' time. I wonder if they'll have that on the tour? Clever girl... Still no word on the dates for Raymond Gubbay presents: The Poseidon Adventure Live In Concert, in period costume and with a fantastic firework finale, so I suppose Jurassic Park will have to do while the interminable wait continues.

leeallen01 2,136 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I really want them to play it too. It would be welcomed so much and so much fun for the audience, so not doing it and just having the Orchestra stand there would be disappointing. I also hope they don't pull a huge no no and not have a choir! I only saw an Orchestra listed so they better not just have an Orchestra. That would be ridiculous. Of course I'm so looking forward to hearing the major moments that the average audience member will crave, but I think I might just cry hearing 'My Friend The Brachiosaurus,' 'A Tree For My Bed,' and 'Remembering Petticoat Lane' echoing through the Hall.

Jay 37,363 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 There isn't much choir throughout the score though. I could see them doing it without a live choir. When I saw STID live in Philadelphia, the choir for the Klingon cue came from the same speakers broadcasting the film audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 There was a choir when I saw both Trek Live to Projections. And they were at the Albert Hall too, so I hope they continue the trend no matter how big or small the choirs involvement in the score is. Same with Independence Day. That better have a choir too. I say do it properly or not at all. Nothing is more disappointing than a half arsed attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,363 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Oh right! So if they do pay for a choir, they'd have to stand there the entire movie then.

New York is far too big, LA is completely fake and there's no point going there is you can't drive a car.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Williams is one of these composers who can get the max out of a smaller ensemble. Where it does indeed not really matter all that much. Herrmann was another. On the other hand, there are plenty of scores that employ a huge orchestra where it ends up sounding quite small (BTTF for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which actually uses 35 extra players on top of what Yared used. Yeah, that is what I mean. If you're a skilled composer you can achieve an epic sound with smaller ensemble. Plus an 80-piece orchestra is hardly small. In fact in concert world that would be massive. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
