Alan 689 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It feels like something that makes a lot of sense tbh. John Powell seems to be on a bit of a roll with special releases at the moment so I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is a Solo release coming from Omni. I just wish I could read music well enough to get something out of the printed scores! I guess we don't know the release date for the Solo DE because it hasn't really been "officially" announced yet, has it? I mean in terms of the actual record label announcing it. John's teases have been more like someone that is on the same wavelength as the fans giving them something to get excited about. ricsim88 and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,306 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yeah it's curious that Disney haven't officially announced anything, it's all been Powell on social media (and they've only retweeted him). Not even an article on the Star Wars website. It's a bit strange. Maybe they're waiting for a locked release date, and it's TBD because Powell only recently finished mastering the release? On the Omni Solo possibility, wonder if JW's cues would be included, if they're not allowed to release the recordings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the restrictions on the Williams cues only extended to the use of the LA recordings? They are (what ever they actually are), included on the DE in any case since we know that everything from the film and more is going to be included. They'll just be the versions recorded in London. All very confusing. If Powell had to take the Williams material and re-work it from the demo stage up to recording to integrate it in to the score I don't see why those cues wouldn't be part of a printed score release. I have no indepth knowledge of the complexities of how all this works though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 689 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Sorry guys, I didn't ask any questions - most of the people there were film and composition students so the questions were quite rightly focused on the career path and techniques. A really great event though with some great stories (John Powell at John Williams' house playing ideas for Solo and being embarrassed by sketches with names like "Fuck Chewie").

Jay 37,352 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I was looking at the track list for some concert last night, and saw an orchestra performed Williams' Han Solo theme from this film. That made me think.. you know what? Instead of just performing his theme arrangement at concerts, it'd be really awesome of orchestras started playing selections from Powell's score, too! What cues do you guys think would make the best concert pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounty95 558 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The OST is so entertaining from start to finish that it's hard to pick one. That's why I narrow it down to three: Corellia Chase, Flying with Chewie and Lando's Closet. BTW: It's become very quiet around the Deluxe Edition. Do we have other information than the release being at some point in November? A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choice... any of those suggested make pretty good concert pieces, with not too much amendment. As I commented in respect of HTTYD, Powell is pretty great at writing self contained cues, which make musical, dramatic and narrative sense, and cues from Solo similarly lend themselves to concert arrangements that work well in isolation. I'm sure I saw a compilation already out there that had a track from Solo that was from Powell's score, although I can't for the life of me remember what the compilation was. Possibly a live concert recording, but was surprised (and kinda gratified) that it wasn't The Adventures of Han! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
