Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Williams always uses the whole orchestra, Steef. Like Hedwig's theme, its like chamber music, all the time happening something. They dont have play simultaniously fortissimo together from start to finish!! bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 But thats not what Harry's Wondrous World does. If anything it builds to that loud finale. You and @Quintus are looney! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 There's a certain side to Williams' style and approach which I've never been able to get into to. Harry's Wondrous World qualifies. Hedwig's theme is good though. Joni Wiljami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hook evokes swashbuckling pirates though, so I enjoy it. But yeah, they're not actually dissimilar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 People complained in 2001 that Potter sounded too Hook-like. Its how Williams likes to score English fantasy stuff i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I'm sometimes very ambivalent about some of Williams'(or any others') piece, is it brilliant or almost terrible. HWW is maybe little bit on a smaltz side... It's difficult to explain in english, there must be some idiom but I can't find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
