Sigh....why cant we have this stuff in Holland!

[bollemanneke 4,191]

Or Belgium...? One day?

[Jay 44,379]

WOAH!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,402]

Just now, Jay said:

WOAH!

 

I hate you!

[Jay 44,379]

In 2009 Fellowship: Live to Projection was this unheard of, new idea for a niche audience

 

Now every blockbuster is doing it!

[Not Mr. Big 4,893]

I hope it comes to Texas...

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,402]

Fuck Texas! Come to Amsterdam!

Me too! Houston Symphony would do the score justice. 

[FBC Director 10,390]

Fuck, another one?

[Loert 3,079]

Soon there won't be any films left to project!

[artguy360 2,154]

Aw man this would be such a great score to hear live to film. 

[Tom 6,156]

the later Potter films would make for a painfully dull live orchestra experience.

Yeah, why would anybody want to hear Order of the Phoenix or The Half Blood Prince live?

[FBC Director 10,390]

Something Hollywood hasn't considered - dull and uninteresting scores can't be resold or repackaged as potential concert experiences.

[Incanus 5,883]

Excellent news! This live to projection trend is really growing by leaps and bounds. Something as music filled as HPPS is perfect for a live concert setting.

Ditto for Finland.

[Hlao-roo 390]

When will we get The China Syndrome live to projection?

Are you going to the Raiders one in July?

About the same time with the Angela's Ashes live to projection.

Now they're doing the Hooper Harry Potter scores in concert so...

[artguy360 2,154]

I've heard the HP1 score is notoriously difficult to play. I hope the orchestra is ready for the challenge of playing well and staying in sync with the film. 

[bollemanneke 4,191]

Well, you never know, maybe HP5 and 6 might sound a little more detailed in concert, but honestly, I couldn't be bothered to pay for it... not now at least. As for HP1 being difficult, HP2 and 3are just as difficult, I think.  If only they'd do it in London, I could probably go. Come to think of it, they can't not do Harry Potter in the UK!

Some questions:
- What do you think would happen to film version edits? For instane, 'The Gobletof Fire' has no trumpets in the film version.
- How on earth will they tackle all the microedits in JW's scores? Do they have to rewrite the sheet music?
- WHat about tracked/unused music?

 

[Not Mr. Big 4,893]

Will we get to hear the extended version of "The Goblet March" in film?

[bollemanneke 4,191]

Goblet March? Hogwarts March do you mean? Unlikely.

[Not Mr. Big 4,893]

Damn.  I largely prefer it to the string adagio that plays in the scene.  Perhaps somebody should make an edit...

[bollemanneke 4,191]

But the Hogwarts March is a concert arrangement, I don't think it would fit the scene well, not with Cedric's dad being tearful.

[Maurizio 6,561]

The good side effect is that expanded release of the scores might be around the corner as well.

[bollemanneke 4,191]

I was thinking that too!

[BloodBoal 7,545]

That doesn't mean a damn thing. Many scores got a Live To Projection concert without getting an expanded release in the months that followed!

*fan hears* Every Live To Projection score gets a complete and chronological release within a few months.

[SzPeti42 49]

Oh, this is really interesting. I really loved Indy’s first adventure live from his 2010 concert in Fort Worth, the only time I’ve been to the US, so I would give almost anything to have these kinds of concerts here in Eastern Europe.

We have an orchestra who over the years basically became our film music orchestra, and they are popular, almost always sold out (even rehearsals), and enthusiastic about John Williams, so I guess it’s something. I’ve seen them 3 or 4 times already, they do interesting things (like the 1812 Overture with an extra military brass ensemble), but they usually do the basic John Williams themes, Star Wars, Imperial March, HP, JP, ET, and so on (If somebody is in the area this April, there will be a fully John Williams themed concert by them here in Budapest. This will be the first time that they will play Catch Me If You Can, Hook and Memoirs of a Geisha).

If they follow this path, maybe in a few years we can enjoy these kinds of concerts without leaving the continent. Let’s hope

Wow! 100% confirmed by Alvar!

[BloodBoal 7,545]

Hehehe...

[bollemanneke 4,191]

Bloodboal, please don't destroy that tiny glimmer of hope. A complete Azkaban version (bootlegged or not) is the only thing that keeps me going these days.

[BloodBoal 7,545]

Don't worry: I'm sure it'll happen, most likely in less than 5 years from now.

 

I'm just saying the fact the Live To Projection is happening has no relation to a possible release of the complete HP scores.

[Jay 44,379]

I agree with this.

 

Warners is clearly not interested in doing expanded releases themselves, nor licensing it out to the specialty labels.  We're more likely to finally get that elusive sessions leak than official expanded releases soon, I think.

 

But I think official ones will happen eventually, some day!

[bollemanneke 4,191]

But wouldn't you say it's at least a sign that WB finally realised this music has potential?

[Jay 44,379]

Nah, just a sign they like to make money

 

They'll make much more money from these concerts than they would from expanded score releases

[bollemanneke 4,191]

Fingers crossed for a Europe tour then.

[Jay 44,379]

Yea, let's hope this is a success and they go worldwide!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,402]

I'd watch this over Home Alone any day!

[Jay 44,379]

The Home Alone concert was really fun; A lot of it was due to the fact that watching a (good) comedy with an audience is always a fun time, the laughter being so infectious.  Also, I totally love the score and it was admirably performed, which was great.

 

Harry Potter, I love the score too, and also like the film.  But the audience might be filled with more children than say the LOTR or STID concerts I've been to.  Hopefully they don't get restless and annoying!

But what about MVs "Potter is so close that I can smell it"??

[nightscape94 968]

"“The Harry Potter Film Concert Series” will premiere at Philadelphia’s Mann Center for the Performing Arts on June 23 with the Philadelphia Orchestra"

 

Yeah baby!

 

The list keeps growing for 2016!

A red herring from JKR's playbook.

That was like 4 years ago now.  I guess it didn't pan out

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,402]

A real pity. There's good stuff unreleased from the third score.

[bollemanneke 4,191]

I thought that quote was more recent. Oh well, there's certainly a great deal of great material missing. A Winter's Spell is my favourite unreleased cue.

[Jay 44,379]

I was wrong; It was said in December of 2013

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,402]

Was that the last word on it from him?

 

The legal paperwork for these kind of things can really drag out the process, so who knows?
