gkgyver 1,647 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Just listened to this. "Yorktown Theme", though underused in the film, is the best theme this year, or even these two past years. And it's not even a competition. That theme is simply sublime, and shows what an awesome theme writer Giacchino really is. leeallen01 and KittBash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Giacchino cameos in Tomorrowland, and the music continues through his appearance, so he had to score the scene with himself in it. I wonder who else has. This might help!

Amer 2,208 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I was just thinking today for the 5 note conversation sequence in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, wouldn't it have been appropriate if John Williams himself would have been the guy supervising the notes in the film sequence. I think its the biggest omission from Spielberg to date. Having so much reverence for Williams it would have been ultra cool to see Williams doing something music in a film sequence albeit briefly. At lease Hitchcock used Bernard Herrmann in one of his films,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,501 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 This deluxe edition has really cemented Star Trek Beyond's place among my favorite "traditional, orchestral" scores of this year. The BFG, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Fantastic Beasts, Star Trek Beyond are probably my four favorites. Trent B and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 340 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I've listened to the Deluxe Edition quite a few times all ready....although don't have my physical copy YET hopefully sometime first part of January when I can pay for it. Anyways after listening to it this few times it's definitely become my favorite of the three Giacchino scores and a huge step up from Into Darkness.

Luke Skywalker 1,929 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Yeah, the evolution in the trilogy is rather great. There is alot of very well written passages in this last score that have nothing to envy from some of the masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,647 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Giacchino's heart may lie with Star Wars, but he clearly did his best fantasy music for Star Trek. The trio of themes "Enterprising Young Men", "Ode To Vengeance" and "Yorktown Theme" are, to me, modern classics. Arpy and leeallen01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 38,933 Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I guess when I think about it, its like Giacchino has enough good ideas every year for about 2 solid scores, but since he's being hired to do 4 a year, the scores are starting to suffer. Hopefully he has some time off coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,159 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Listening to Krall Things Being Equal, one of the more forceful statements of Krall's theme sounds like it could sound at home in Star Wars, a less bash-you-over-the-head imperial theme perhaps? Jaylah's Theme and the Yorktown Theme are my absolute favourite tracks on this release. Jaylah's Theme would've made a good theme for Jyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol I don't know where you are exactly, but here in the UK, it turns out anything over £15 is subject to VAT on import. Now, I don't object paying VAT on a product, but I find it baffling that our Royal Mail whops an additional £8 "handling fee" on top. They let it sit in the sorting office - I don't have any personal interaction with HM Revenue & Customs to retrieve it. They do NOT charge this "handling fee" for any other type of item they hold, so I think it's more a "how dare you" charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is featured verbatim in the film almost. It even has sections of Spock's theme. Do you mean the Star Trek Main Theme because that is prominently showcased in that track.

gkgyver 1,647 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I don't think those few seconds of Spock's theme change the track much, to me it's an arrangement of his main theme. TheUlyssesian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,159 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Some highlights for me are: - 2:56-3:22 of "Krall Things Being Equal" is amazing with the choir, it was my favourite part of "Cater-Krall in Zero G" so to get a different arrangement of it is great. - "Bright Lights Big Velocity (Part 1)" - "Spock Speaks Hive". - "Space, the Final Frontier" because we now have the end credits opening with more percussion than the last two films. - 0:49 - 0:58 of "Jaylah's Theme" it's so warm and magical! 1:46 in the same track for the horn coming in under the statement is great too. - The opening of "Transporting Good Time" is enigmatic with the dark clarinets. - A nice statement of Spock's Theme opens "To Thine Own Death Be True". There's more but I think all the tracks have something good to take away from them! Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyncMan 326 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Experts on this score: help me out on this. Here’s a rehearsal video of the ‘Star Trek Beyond’ World Premiere live-to-projection concert by the San Diego Symphony Orchestra from MG’s Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/BIDVtsrgGuv/?hl=en The scene from the music that uses this music-cue, does it have any talking and sound effects on it? I tried asking this in the STB-L2P concert thread. No response, so I thought I would try here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 38,933 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 I don't understand the question. Are you asking if in the normal movie, there is other sound besides music during this portion of the cue? Hear for yourself But this is obviously from a rehearsal where they were performing without the other sounds playing while this was shot SyncMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not familiar with this score so you have saved me the trouble of researching. Thanks for answering. Most orchestras that do these concerts get no more than 2 rehearsals. The last rehearsal before the show —the dress rehearsal—has the film’s audio track (the dialogue and sound effects track) turned on in the hall while the musicians play. They do that because the audio engineers need to get the balances between signals from the audio track and the orchestra for the hall's speakers. That leaves the one rehearsal before the dress rehearsal. It can go either way—whether to rehearse with the film’s audio track or not. I know that orchestras invite their donors to ‘open rehearsal' for concerts. I’ve never seen one for a L2P concert. It would be cool if, at least, one L2P concert rehearsal was done without the film's audio track and you just hear the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 38,933 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 I attended the rehearsals for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban LTP in London ad Royal Albert Hall. They basically went cue by cue and played them through, usually with the flim sound playing. After the cue, Freer would give them notes, and they they'd either replay certain sections with those changes, or just move on, and often they didn't re-run the video screen or film audio for those re-dos. And they didn't do the entire film in order either. But I'm sure every case is different TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
