Datameister 2,043 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 The opening in the commercially available version is the alternate opening; the original just goes straight from the opening crescendo to the sparkling strings. You can hear that original beginning in the very first video featuring the piece. The material in the Rise video is different - I think it's part of Bill Ross's adaptations for the ride, like the rest of the music in the video. Either that or it's from Savi's. I'd have to do some YouTube comparisons to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there's this Sim-ified disco version of Rey's Theme in the trailer, but no idea if this is Haab's arrangement or just trailer music: There's a March of the Resistance remix later in the gameplay trailer too.

Datameister 2,043 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Yep. You get orchestral scoring in the two rides and in the lightsaber building experience. All three of those include material adapted from the suite. But the orchestra isn't heard elsewhere in the land - the cantina features the Star Wars equivalent of club music, and you hear bits of alien folk music in a few spots outside, and the entrances/exits to the land use Kerber's arrangement for transitional ambiance. I like the decision to save orchestral scoring for actual story moments. I do wish there were more pervasive area BGM (still in the same indigenous-sounding vein), and I wouldn't have minded if the orchestral BGM started sneaking in during the ride queues. SWGE's music sounds good when you do hear it, but I think hearing it more often would help. I also still wish they had put together a small ensemble to play live music here and there. It would have been challenging but so worth it. blondheim and thx99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I haven't done a direct comparison with a live audio recording yet, but I confess that on one occasion I stood in the entrance for a while just to get a sense for how long the loop is and what's in it. The more rhythmic elements aren't there in the park mix at all. I think they may have shortened it, too. I'll compare them and let you know what I find. EDIT: I was wrong about the shortening - they used the whole track. It loops at about 4:54, overlapping the beginning on the ending. But yeah, the rhythmic panpipe breaths (starting around 1:12) and the drums (starting around 1:22) are completely missing from the park mix. thx99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am not as calm as I thought. I just think you ought to withhold judgment till you've visited in person. Films and theme parks have different musical needs. (Also, Williams's Star Wars source music can be quite "off" - consider the three Tatooine source cues from TPM. Odd recorder harmonies, non-Western percussion, weird vocals, etc.) For me, the only problem with this cue in situ is that the melody is hard to pick out. It sets the tone really well, but it's only recognizable if you know the suite well and you listen closely. Part of that is the slow tempo, part of it is park acoustics, and part of it is the blurry synth pads beneath the flute-like melody. The end result is that the reference to Williams's theme feels almost like an Easter egg. I think I would have preferred a version that more clearly established the theme, setting up its orchestral statements in the attractions. That's just me, though. Still happy to be able to listen to this track on its own! thx99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post igger6 894 Posted September 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2021 I’ve visited in person, and Tom is dead-on. The lack of orchestral music in the Star Wars idiom is a glaring flaw in the land’s otherwise excellent design, one that has been commented on by several theme park blogs in reviewing the land as a whole. It’s eerily quiet in most of the land in a way that blatantly fails to remind you of scenes from the films, which nearly always have a Western orchestra playing neo-Romantic music under them. It’s inexplicable that Disney would voluntarily forget the playbook they’ve been using for 65 years to create immersive environments and arbitrarily tie one hand behind their backs in terms of sensory immersion in the theme. Literally every other land they’ve ever created uses music as part of the immersion. This one arrogantly attempts to reinvent the wheel and kneecaps itself in the process. I am not calm either. 😎 Yavar Moradi, SilverTrumpet and Cerebral Cortex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,043 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I was chatting with someone elsewhere and managed to change my own mind on that. I still think a "greatest hits" style of BGM would be disastrous, but it actually could be possible to create appropriate orchestral loops for different areas of the land. I started thinking of examples and realized that I could get onboard with the use of atmospheric cues that aren't too thematic or mickey mousey (ironically). The Resistance forest, the market, the First Order area, and the Falcon area could each get their own distinct loop. The hard part would be finding enough material to avoid having super short loops like Universal's. igger6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stravinsky 206 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I had forgotten all about this short GE suite until now whilst trying to assemble a playlist of Williams' entire concert versions of his glorious Star Wars music. The Star Wars religion is surely today's cultural equivalent of Wagner's Ring cycle. Have I missed anything in the playlist? Please advise me. This Theme Park Overture has remained mostly under my radar since it was released 2 and half years ago. Time flies! I listened to this music a couple of times in 2019 but thought little of it. To me it sounded like a hash job from Williams. Not his best and maybe something he had to write in a real hurry. The thing I didn't consider however until hearing it again today is that this is music ostensibly for the outdoors and Williams in his genius has somehow written his own version of an "Outdoor Overture"...a la Star Wars! What is striking about this Star Wars music is how wide open and utterly expansive the whole thing is. The more I listen to it now (after forgetting it for 30 months) the more it grows on me. Maestro Williams continues to beguile! On hearing this work again today my ears told me something that I hadn't picked up on in 2019. Listen to the gigantic chords at 2:41 which are immediately followed by a flourish on trumpet with the same massive chords repeated a some bars later. Could Williams have utilised a magnificent passage that was replaced ultimately by a rather obvious statement of the Imperial March? Fabulous measures that ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. I speak of the Finale of AOTC. I last heard those colossal chords (in the exact same modality) when I was standing in front of Mr Williams at Abbey Road nearly 20 years ago whilst singing the score with London Voices. I was blown away. To me it was definitely the finest moment in the score. I've listened to the mock up recording I have of this passage from AOTC and both grandiose sequences sound very very similar to me. Whilst not "adaption" per se I would proffer that pressed for time perhaps Williams plundered an unused section from an earlier score and fashioned it to suit. In a way this brings to mind Ken Thorne's judicious use of a completely unused idea written for Superman the Movie which the Englishman then utilised for his arrangements for Superman II... I view this fascinating spin-off Overture as a perfect pedant to Williams' music for Solo. Both lesser efforts perhaps but still worth the replay mileage.
