bollemanneke 3,342 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 So how do we think MM has tackled all the short HP3 cues? Would JW have approved a chronological presentation? Might we get cross-faded long tracks? These are the things that keep me awake at night now. Once and Molly Weasley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones bothering me are the SIAE silvery stickers: only italian stores have them (SIAE is the italian society managing royalties and copyright), and they are almost impossible to peel off ‘cause they are heavily glued and they are already sliced in six or seven wavy pieces, as you can see in the picture I posted. Hate those things. I know these. They're on every second Morricone CD that I buy! I gave up trying to peel them off, after having tried it once. redishere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda like how the shortest cues from the leaked HP1&2 recording sessions have been merged together (I don't know who did it) to create a sort-of "deluxe" edition, but in HP3 a lot of cues are quite fragmented so I really don't know how MM will arrange them. I also wonder where some source music cues will be put (like the Leaky Cauldron music in HP1, or some alternates): will they be presented chronologically, or will they be put at the end of the tracklist? And more importantly, who cares? I do. 2 hours ago, Brundlefly said: I know these. They're on every second Morricone CD that I buy! I gave up trying to peel them off, after having tried it once.

Popular Post Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted November 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2018 So I've gone all this time without having a clue that there was an alternate ending to Azkaban leading into the end credits. I was looking at the score today and saw the cue "A New Broomstick" and decided to have a go at mocking it up together with the originally planned end credits going into Hedwig's Theme. I then found Datameister's great version but kept going anyway. Have a listen if you'd like: Anticipation levels at an all time high.

Popular Post Smeltington 1,438 Posted November 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2018 It was too good to be true, and still is! I was in a hotel, where a client had put me up for the week, with my DESKTOP computer that I brought with me because I didn't have a laptop at the time. I downloaded the HPSS sessions over the hotel wifi, and the first thing I listened to was Voldemort's Theme from the Children's Suite. When Chamber leaked, and I first listened to it, I was at home in Atlanta, and it was the day before John Williams conducted the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. At the concert, JW included Fawkes the Phoenix B-) Perfect synergy! Maybe he knew...... Taikomochi, bollemanneke and Once 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redishere 697 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I actually found out about the leaks just recently, and I freaked out because I remember when I first bought the HPSS soundtrack, in 2001, I was so disappointed a lot of cues were missing. On the other hand, I've been desperately searching for PoA since 2004 so I'm quite tense these days. Molly Weasley and bollemanneke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I found out about the HPSS leak probably around a year after it happened (maybe less, I'm not exactly sure when it leaked). COS on the other hand I was on the main page of that website that must not be named, and it was the first post. I flipped out a bit, then realized it was probably just yet another hoax. Then I downloaded it, and realized it was the real deal. First cues I listened to were the Quidditch cues, which I had been looking for forever. redishere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, funnily enough the COS interpretation of that music is much more athletic, intense and tight. Amazing the difference a conductor can make, because the musicians were probably almost exactly the same across scores. Worth noting that Williams was competing in a soundscape of loud engines and Coruscant noise, however, so he may have approached the AOTC cue differently (streamlining the musical approach to help punch through Burtt's stupendously obnoxious noise).
