Drawgoon 100 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 For some reason I like to revisit this one early autumn every year. (I revisit Howard's "The Village" in mid-late autumn every year too) Williams always nails it with his concert pieces, though this score is one of the few where the concert piece is the only major highlight for me. Still it is so amazing that I'd say it very much worth the price of the whole album alone on its own. I also always like to listen to "Ann and Gabriel" straight after the opening track, before moving to the rest of the album. That cue feels very much like it belonged to the concert piece - the winding down stage of the amazing journey, that is the opening track. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

Popular Post crumbs 14,319 Posted December 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2021 So I finally rewatched this film thanks to the 4K remaster, now I want an expansion more than ever! What a fantastic resource this thread is, with the cue list and OST breakdown. Of course the gorgeous wedding cues are unreleased... All the source music is fantastic too! Hopefully JW allows those on an expansion (these aren't a Superman situation where they're unrelated musical genres heard on a car radio; they're appropriate for the time period and blend with the score proper). It's interesting that he included lots of fragments of source music on his OST, but none of the source music he composed himself (only existing pieces he arranged). As @BrotherSound said, there's enough material to fill out a very healthy 2-CD expansion someday! Fingers crossed it's the next score on Intrada's list, I'd pick this up in a heartbeat.

Very little tracking that I noticed, and the music is prominent throughout. I'd never made this link before but Tavington's Ambush is like a proto-No Man's Land. Also loved how bassy it is, reverberating around the mix and punching through gunfire and cannons. The warmth of the cellos was particularly impressive, gave my subwoofer a workout. All JW scores deserve to be mixed this well! Makes a mockery of the Abrams scores, where Williams' music is treated more like another layer of SFX than a music track. Incredible how the more advancements we get in audio technology, the worse film music sounds. The extra audio channels have become little more than a vehicle for SFX artists to overwhelm audiences with noise.

Not just for the lower parts but for the more midrange frequencies like French Horns and Cellos. Atmos downmixes usually have bass only for the lowest parts + really dainty midrange & high range with very little inbetween (which makes a mix like The Patriot a pleasant surprise) The Mummy is similarly good mix.

crumbs 14,319 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yeah, most film score mixes nowadays sound thinned out (perhaps artificially) to reduce their impact in the mix. I'm sure Williams and Murphy have tried to counteract this through mixing, with the intent of 'cutting through' the SFX layers, but who knows what artificial manipulation the SFX team do to the music tracks these days. To my ears, most FYCs sound artificially thin and lack the punch of OST counterparts. Mike made an interesting observation in the F&A podcast, that Shawn is quite expert at "recording the reverberation through the floor" or something to that effect. The Patriot really shines here, as if the orchestra is literally playing around the characters. Contrast that with the newer Star Wars, where it sounds exactly like what it is: a hacked up music track, relegated with the lowest priority in an overly noisy sound mix.

The most notable tracking is the ‘Susan Speaks’ scene, tracked with ‘The North Star’, but surprisingly the entire ‘Susan Speaks’ cue is still heard in the film, just in the preceding scenes. More than tracking, there’s a fair amount of partially dropped cues: only the first 40 seconds of 8M3+4 The Death of Gabriel is used, but I’d estimate the complete cue at more than 4 minutes. 6M6 To Gullah Maroon was edited to remove the middle, shortening the cue from about 2 minutes to 1 minute. A bit more (but not all) of this cue is restored in the extended cut. Not Mr. Big, Edmilson and crumbs 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many composers have worked for Marvel, but I only remember the work of Doyle, Silvestri and Giacchino. Marvel's Music Department needs some direction.

igger6 894 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Just rewatched this solidly entertaining movie (man, what I'd give for a return to the early 2000s studio ecosystem...lots of DVD receipts funding big-budget takes on original scripts, and nearly zero thought given to whether and how a movie would please the Chinese Communist Party). But here's a question: what in the name of Rene Auberjonois is going on with the concert versions of this piece? I count 3.5—the OST opener (6:40, with piano and solo violin at the top), the OST closer (7:50, seemingly identical,with a low-key fife and drum coda), the Lockhart version (8:15, opening with woodwinds instead of solo violin, and incorporating a lot more flutes/fifes plus an epic finale), and then the Film Symphony Orchestra version (6:55, which opens with snares and the patriotic theme rather than solo violin or woodwinds and the lyrical one, and which has a slightly less epic, more traditionally Williams-branded finale with a couple of false finishes). Was this piece revised twice, and were these the debut recordings? How recently (if ever) has Williams himself conducted it live, and in which form? Has anyone attempted a catalogue of Williams' various tinkerings with the concert pieces from his scores? I'm endlessly fascinated by what motivates him to revisit certain pieces and tweak, invert, or blow them up. I'm also a little sorry that The Patriot wasn't represented in any of his work with Mutter recently. More for volume 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond the period sounding fife and drum stuff, there is some pretty subtle electronic work and some great, deep percussion stuff. The score also has a deeper emotional core than I noticed before.

GerateWohl 4,373 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 At last I purchased the OST and this is really a score to enjoy at times where there are not so many Williams scores to be expected every year. So far I just knew the suite from the Boston Pops recording, which covers the major themes properly. I am not necessarily a fan of Williams in patriotic mode with all his americana fanfares. Slightly I remember watching the movie on television thinking that Gibson more or less repeated his role from Braveheart, just in the united states civil war instead of Scottland. But I also remember finding the movie somewhat entertaining, as usual with Emmerich. At that time I had the impression, when there are special ground breaking action movies coming out then some time later there came out some shallow Emmerich version of that movie to the cinema. Anyway, I really enjoy listening to new old Williams music I am unfamiliar with. But as well I think, with its 73 minutes of runtime now I am not really aiming for an expansion of this score. I am quite confident, that this album covers the body of the score very well. But you never know. Williams is the only composer where I really found expansion of his scores an enrichment. But let us see. JTN and That_Bloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
