bollemanneke 3,334 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Omen, it's not funny. I was hoping to go to the UK during the summer holidays and the HP concert would make it even better. Also, there's really nothing American about HP. (I'm not saying you shouldn't have it in the USA, but it really should go to the UK soon.) Oh well, WB will be WB...

Omen II 1,235 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I meant New Britain in Papua New Guinea, not the one in Connecticut, by the way! I do concur with your wish, however, as England would be easier for me to get to because I am in it already. I am sure it is only a matter of time.

Jay 37,249 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Optional women's choir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Orchestras can opt to have it with or without choir. That's not unusual. Plenty of orchestra's don't have a choir available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I understand that but there is male choir used in the score too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Then perhaps they allow for regional orchestras without choir to carry the melodies of the choir on other instruments or synthesizers with cues on the sheet music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,334 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 But... You need real women for the Mirror of Erised. Anything else would totally botch the effect, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Logistics. If you can't get a choir, you can't get a choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well when I saw Star Trek Into Darkness Live to Projection in Philadelphia, they had no choir so for the Kilingon scenes, the Klingon chanting came from the speakers that were playing the rest of the film's audio. I assume that would be the same case here, but there are male and female voices in the score so it's curious they specify female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well the women's choir is optional. If half of the men's choir leans forward into a chair firmly enough, they can cover the women's parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure about that? Most of the choral writing in the first Potter score is indeed for women's choir. Maybe some of the Voldemort stuff in the last couple of reels is scored for mixed choir?

mrbellamy 6,270 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yeah it is, the ghosts just pass by in the background. You get about 5 seconds of the song, it'd be pointless to perform live. About the Voldemort cues possibly having male voices, "The Blue Forest" and "The Mirror Scene" both specify women's chorus in the sheets, so I actually think that it is pretty much just the gals in the first one. I know POA has mixed chorus for sure but I'm trying to remember if COS does at all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Countertenors are those gifted with a rare variation in male laryngeal anatomy. They don't "think they're women" any more than people who are double-jointed think they're octopuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,249 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 HPSS has male voices in 2m4 Diagon Alley (when they are in Gringotts bank)... I guess that's it? A lot of the other instances of choir are women's-only and I never realized it (ie 2m5 Harry Gets His Wand, 5m2 Fighting The Troll, Mirror of Erised stuff, etc) HPCOS absolutely has male choir: Think of when Harry goes into the diary and the male choir chants the Stone's theme.

mrbellamy 6,270 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yeah, that's true. Actually now that you mention it, isn't that just the same Gringotts cue from the first film adapted by William Ross? So that might be the only instance there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurkensalat 336 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I hope so. The boot is only ok as long as there is no commercial version available.

mstrox 6,637 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'd buy them all, as I have avoided bootlegs, sessions, and leaks. The attitude of "who would bother buying" is the exact reason why boots are harmful to everybody (from the studio to the label to the artist to the consumer).
