Popular Post crumbs 14,696 Posted September 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2019 Maybe we can crowdsource an answer to the question posited in the latest episode. Apparently, several members of the MSO strings section whispered Sibelius to one another after rehearsing the Arrival at Cloud City cue from ESB. Dan is a fan of Sibelius but couldn't draw a parallel. Anyone else drawing a link here? Side note: This podcast really reminded me how bloody good this score is. Williams firing on all cylinders, one incredibly potent idea after another. Recommended listening to anyone unfamiliar with the AOTS crew, they seriously know their shit.

Sure -- it's the second subject from the last movement of Sib's 2nd Symphony that appears to serve as a model for the "Luke in Exile" theme from TLJ. It's a wonderfully apt reference too. Sibelius's chilly, windswept music is so evocative, and Williams channels it to great effect, not just for Luke's morose character, but the physical location of Acht-To. Also, just within the Sib Violin Concerto first movement, there are two other rather *Star Warsy* musical ideas: This little transitional string figure resembles any number of galloping string ostinati from the series, the "I Can Fly Anything" motif most clearly to me... This ominous motif for brass has a strong Dark Side of the Force vibe to me... TownerFan, ricsim88, crumbs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the themes in the 4th movement, you can hear it here from 35:35 I think it's more of a passing reference than a direct quote, possibily a sort of reminiscence.

Definitely some voicing and harmony resemblances between Williams and Sibelius. There are most certainly worst composers to be influenced by out there.

igger6 945 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Just want to add my continued adulation for this podcast. You guys are one of the best. And it sounds like Ramin Djawadi has even more 'splaining to do at 6:01 in the Sibelius concerto. It's a dangerous business, writing franchise "themes" that are only five notes long. You never know where they might have turned up before... Falstaft and Tallguy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, it may have been Williams that Djwadi was cribbing from, not Sibelius! Westeros by way of Coruscant... (Totally kidding about this, btw.

crumbs 14,696 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Not a new Art of the Score episode but a Scoring Notes podcast featuring Nicholas Buc. Should be a great listen for anyone interested in music preparation and conducting. Buc has conducted most of the Williams LTP concerts. New podcast episode! @nycmusicservice and @davemacdo talk with @BucNicholas about the ways that music preparation and technology can provide the Midas touch in those high-stakes film scores. We also talk about @ArtoftheScore — of course!

igger6 945 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 And it's both fascinating and hilarious as usual. I don't usually find myself grinning ear to ear while driving alone, but it's guaranteed whenever these guys drop a new episode. I was glad to hear some well-earned praise for Giacchino's Marvel fanfare and some well-earned apathy for that anonymous hackwork that plays over the Disney+ Star Wars logo. Let's hope, as they suggest, that someone at Disney comes to their senses and commissions a proper fanfare in the coming years. Meanwhile, I have Johnny's next late-career reimagining project: Fantasy for Orchestra on the Amblin Logo! TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
