A power anthem is like a rock ballad--it does not take an incredible amount of talent to accomplish (hence the ballad's of the 80s). That is not to say they lack enjoyability, but they are not necessarily a sign of singular talent. Williams has proved he does possess singular talent, so some may not want him to do what many, many other can do, but rather focus on what makes him unique (or at least in the upper-echelon of composers). I do think it is beneath Williams whose reputation is staked on writing complex music with sophisticated and artful construction. The thing is it very easy to come up with something like that just by doodling on the piano for sometime. Trust me you and I could too. It feels ordinary. When you hear a classic Williams melody you are surprised and struck by its freshness by its contours. Credit to JW it is still well orchestrated. But Williams is definitely above such themes.

Can't we have a thread for this discussion, it always pops up when someone thinks writing music is easy or that they could've done better, because 'it's a simple theme that anyone could write'. When you use that line of reasoning, the ground beneath your feet will crumble immediately. I get people are disappointed that the theme wasn't their cup of tea, believe me I've been there and shared that feeling multiple times, but the answer is not to spout nonsense about the compositional prowess of the composer and confuse your ideas of what makes a good theme with that of what the composer produced.

artguy360 1,843 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I wonder if what I perceive to be a thinner sound of Adventures of Han is intentional and meant to reflect some of the sound of ANH. The music itself is pretty standard modern JW both in terms of the theme and the rhythmic action stuff. The hero's theme has strong shades of Poe's Theme and the searching theme has the kind of constant forward progression of parts of Rey's theme. But the mix itself, or the orchestration, or both give me a hint of ANH. Will and Ricard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Here I was, listening to Williams' contribution to the album, thinking it's the exact same Williams post-Munich, autopiloted overcomplication of what could be a very enjoyable theme suite, and come to JWfan to read that people perceive this disjointed collection of motifs, ridden with pretentious and aimless trumpet riffs that already ruined much of The Last Jedi, as Williams succumbing to RCP music. And not tongue in cheek, either, but seriously. At this point, this place is a parody of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marcus 390 Posted May 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2018 I think The Adventures of Han is a delightfully fresh and fun piece that achieves quite a lot of different things at once, and in subtle ways. Connective tissue and seemingly throwaway moments actually hearken back (or is that forward?) to a lot of the action writing in the OT, but just in quick glimpses/foreshadowings. It's a sort of in medio res piece, and might seem less tightly constructed than it actually is, which is a rather apt way of having form serve as a kind of characterization. The piece is structurally who Han is as a character: Someone who suddenly finds himself in the middle of a (mis)adventure. On the surface, it's music of impulse, whim; it's designed to feel rhapsodic, even though, as has been pointed out, it's actually a kind of rondo. On the other hand, it's Williams also showcasing his less romantic, more modern style. The motivics are more concerned with rhythmic twists than long-lined lyricism. It's a less heroic, more haphazardous take on the elements that constitute Luke's theme. A sort of curveball Luke in minor mode. It's clever and catchy, and bridges the old and the new in a very elegant way. Loert, Balahkay, Falstaft and 11 others 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
