Popular Post artguy360 1,847 Posted February 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've never seen this video before, but here's an excellent tv segment on John Williams composing and recording the score for Return of the Jedi. It includes interviews with Lionel Newman and others. This is pretty great. There are some hilarious cuts between JW conducting and Luke swinging his lightsaber. It also includes footage from other films and scoring sessions. Has this been shared here before?

pete 910 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks. I've seen that but neglected to book mark it, which is unlike me. That's interesting the concert beginning of Parade of the Ewoks was recorded at those sessions. It didn't make it onto the CD/LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loert 2,529 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thank you for sharing! I've never seen this before as well. I particularly like the footage from about 11:00, with John Williams composing (or at least acting like he's composing ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression is that the "Parade of the Ewoks" footage is from a concert rehearsal (with the Boston Pops?) rather than the JEDI sessions seen a little later in the video. pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 910 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That makes sense, and actually the piece of music they play next isn't from Return of the Jedi, right? I couldn't quite identify it though. I'll give it another few listens. Mmm maybe it is..around 3:25 Found it, it's from Sail Barge Assault aka Return of the Jedi on the original release. And I assume that is from the Jedi sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerebral Cortex 3,358 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 There is just something immensely beautiful and satisfying about seeing John Williams running along to his Indiana Jones theme. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,267 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Actually Williams does not state that he is an atheist. Simply that he's not a particularly religious man. Which, especially in the US, doesn't have to mean atheist or agnostic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,267 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Exactly. Williams is probably more of a spiritual person rather then someone who follows any organised religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sail barge assault is Sessions, as they are in abbey road. the Parade of the ewoks bit is not the same room, and dark as it is, it seems a concert hall. (the ET segment if from the boston pops.

pete 910 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Actually the piece I couldn't identify was the Jaws Theme. I thought it might have been from Stanley and Iris, but then realized that was composed much later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,679 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've seen this before (in fact, I have it on a disc somewhere), but I can't remember if the footage is taken from other sources (the BBC documentary?) or if it was part of this video.

I initially had trouble identifying the segment from Sail Barge Assault because it wasn't from the beginning. I attended an open rehearsal for Williams 1998 London concert. It's really trippy hearing an orchestra start playing from the middle of a piece^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
