DominicCobb 194 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Is this the Imperial theme? The brass in Spaceport at 1:04 Also, the list is great. One question, would it make sense to distinguish between Han Searching A and B section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,950 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Not in the leitmotivic sense, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make note of where the B-phrase is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leitmotivic sense is beside the point (I believe that was a discussion that's been had).

Popular Post Holko 9,530 Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 So what we learned from the new Star Wars Show: Powell is visibly confused/taken back when called legendary to his face If Williams wasn't involved, he wouldn't have taken the job because he would have been too nervous of messing it up Williams said something along the lines of "It's 2018, do whatever you want that works for the movie" "A bit more percussion" was a directorial note/idea SteveMc, greenturnedblue, Arpy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,950 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It’s a short motif - it doesn’t have a B-phrase. It has various accompaniments, which often extend over the statement of the motif, but not a B-phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BTR1701 59 Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 On 6/5/2018 at 10:24 AM, kaseykockroach said: All the sections are generally recorded separately. I indeed doubt Powell was the first to take that approach. Doing it the old-fashioned way just makes it more difficult to get everything to sound right and for the mix to be balanced. It's why the sound quality and mix in Powell scores has been consistently great, since he gives himself greater control over that aspect. I very much disagree. When music is recorded in separate chunks that way, it sounds 'wrong' to me. I can never put my finger on exactly what is off, but it doesn't sound like an orchestra should. It doesn't sound like a real performance by a full orchestra. Jurassic Shark, MikeH, Disco Stu and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just got back from seeing the film and was disappointed by the mix of the score in some major moments.

PrayodiBA 517 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 is it possible that the "secret/Crimson Dawn" motif, especially in this moment: (the bass/cello (?) to further accentuate it) ... is DELIBERATELY inspired by Duel Of The Fate?

Loert 2,515 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It's very Powell-esque. In PAN he starts the score with what sounds like a simple melody on the piano, and then in the final act he does this: And you realise just how a) versatile the original melody is and b) how good Powell is at fitting his themes into different contexts. Btw, anyone else found that The Asteroid Field just sounds wrong now? I keep expecting the music to break midway through that final trumpet segment!

Pellaeon 593 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 This score is really growing on me. I’ll listen to something else, then find myself humming something and think, what’s that? It’s Solo! I’m 100% convinced that “The Adventures of Han” should be listened to at the end. When I’m listening to Solo I always want to begin with “Meet Han.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 On the other hand, this way it functions as an overture, before the score proper begins. Or you can always set the album on loop, that way it doesn't really matter There are CDs where I get the impression that this is intentional - Jackman's Uncharted 4 is another example, ending on a swell that would lead perfectly into track 1 again.

Holko 9,530 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 A partial loop is the best, where you take the disc out after it played Adventures again. Therefore, it's both an overture and the credits the presentation sorely lacks - the finale is just a big punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
