bollemanneke 3,348 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm surprised they don't play Jane Eyre in the published order. I'd have thought Williams might be attached to the suite's structure. SteveMc and MikeH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 My longshot wishes last year were Adventures of Han and Luke and Leia. Then earlier today I literally were thinking about how much I adored the opening to ET. Very excited for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt S. 493 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Looks like a great program. I really wish I could be there, but unfortunately the Film Night concerts at Tanglewood always seen to fall in late August, and that's our busiest time at my work and there's no way to get any time off. I usually go to the shows at Symphony Hall in May every year but there's something special about the concerts at Tanglewood that doesn't exist in Boston... I'm not sure what, maybe it's the fresh night air in the Berkshires, but there's a wonderful energy to these concerts. I remember the last one I saw, maybe 7-8 years ago, had Morgan Freeman narrating the Suite from The Reivers...that was extraordinary, if only these were recorded and available for download! I hope it's a great show (I'm sure it will be) and everyone going has an amazing time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,314 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Wonder if Luke and Leia returns in TROS? I always thought the sudden resurgence of that concert suite at Film Night a few years ago (around the time Williams was finishing TLJ) was a hint the theme was fresh in his mind for a reason. rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverTrumpet 638 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I don't see Luke and Leia interacting in the last movie. With limited flexibility with Leia and Luke being a ghost, there's not much interacting they CAN do for the theme to pop up again. When I heard it a couple years ago I assumed, and correctly, that it would be because of The Last Jedi. It really made the scene too. It's one of my favorites in all of Star Wars (the theme, not the movie). rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted August 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2019 Luke and Leia don't necessarily need to be together in order for the theme to show up. Luke mentions Leia to Rey in TLJ and we briefly get a fragment of it, but I agree that instances in which the theme are allowed to appear are indeed limited.

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 One more question for those with Tanglewood experience: How strict is security? Will I be allowed to take my backpack in, or do I have to drop it off at the entrance? Will they object if it contains my DSLR camera? If during an ovation (not during the actual musical performance, I hate people who do that) I take out the camera and snap a picture or two of Williams, will I be rushed by security guards and waterboarded until I hand over the camera?

Excellent catch, never noticed that fragment either! Also worth mentioning that Han Solo never appears in TLJ but we hear HS&TP at least twice in the film, when characters reminisce about him (even though most of us predicted that theme wouldn't be heard again after that final statement in TFA). So there's plenty of precedent for Williams to use character themes even without characters being physically present (Yoda in Cloud City another example). I could easily see JW using L&L or HS&TP for the scene where Leia ruminates with Han/Luke's medal from the end of ANH. I reckon there's zero chance JJ didn't find a way to reunite Luke and Leia in some form by the end of TROS anyway. He and JW are gonna make us cry.

I don't think you should have any trouble with security. I took a back pack with me and was no problem. Also tried to get some pictures but my camera wasn't that great to get anything right. Still, no one addressed me because of trying to get some pictures during the ovations. Marian Schedenig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went in July, we were told repeatedly "Hey, no photos during the performance." As soon as Williams came out, nearly everyone in the audience had their phones out and were taking pictures and videos. Once the concert began, people taking pictures were quickly admonished. So, to answer your question, you're good to bring in your backpack and take pictures, absolutely. You just can't during the performance (but some people did anyways).

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 So, how about a meet up tomorrow before/during/after the concert? Any suggestions for where and when? We'll probably be roaming the Tanglewood grounds a bit in the afternoon, trying to spot Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rpvee 805 Posted August 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2019 Another incredible, emotional, heartwarming, and chilling evening seeing living legend John Williams. He even looked and smiled at me a lot from the podium! There was one particular moment when he saw me after I was one of the first to stand for an ovation, and he did this kind of “huzzah!” moment with both arms raised and a big smile right at me. Chills to have so much interaction with the maestro himself from the podium! During the Star Wars portion of the evening, he shared that he had written 100 minutes of music for “The Rise of Skywalker” so far, but that it was a bit difficult since Abrams changes scenes a lot. He then said he’ll be returning to LA tomorrow (Sunday, August 25) to write the remaining 40 minutes of music required! He also called TROS “wonderful”, commented on the “comedy” between Rey and Kylo in TFA that continues in the new film, and that Ridley and Driver are wonderful as well. I thought “comedy” was a very strange word choice - make of it what you will. Such an incredible night. Fingers crossed for Boston next Spring!
