Harry Potter 7CD Collection - SAMPLES and clips discussion

[Gurkensalat 339]

As I wrote in the Interview thread, It would have been nice to get the music in high resolution 5.1, too, since it is already prepared as such. LOTR did it by including a DVD audio/BLu-ray Audio. Even as a download option it would have been nice for multichannel fans like me.

[Holko 9,499]

From the interview, the transition to the HWW alternate finale is still kind of jarring, there's a weird stereo imbalance going on with it being hard right for a few notes, but it's at least not a jump down in quality, I remember it being more muffled on the CoS OST.

[redishere 697]

On a side note, anyone else downloaded all the samples and made a playlist?
Am I mentally challenged?
I know it's just snippets but… it's like 50 minutes of music and the wait is soooo long

Why download these? I have always access to the Internet.

To make a playlist on my phone and play them all in a row,

not having to select every single one,

open a new tab and wait for them to load one by one  
All of this while I'm doing dishes. 

[Holko 9,499]

I'm not sure if it's the samples being better mastered than the leaks, or just me having never actually listened to them with as good headphones as I am now or both, but I'm hearing a ton of richness and subtleties in PS that seem completely new to me even for leaked tracks I've known for years!

Hearing the Troll cue again (from the interview) was a whole new experience for me. 

[Alex 2,833]

That COS trailer music that plays during the interview would have been great as part of an end credits suite.

[Bounty95 558]

I don't know if that has been asked before, but does anyone know if that cue is included? 

 

 

I'm a bit confused about the runtime of this and the one of "The Chamber Opens and The Search for Ginny" (3:29) which don't add up really. Or am I missing something?

I think this is mislabeled: could be the cue "Three Note Loop" from HP1, probably the one titled "The Stone" in the LLL Boxset.

Right, I meant it's tracked from an HP1 cue, that's why the runtime didn't match.

[Holko 9,499]

Nope, the film has a newly written version with a new swirling string line and woodwinds. It just wasn't in the session leak but it's on the set. It was planned to be tracked so the cue sheet we have says it was.

What track on the album do you think that is?

[Holko 9,499]

The Chamber Opens and The Search for Ginny, shockingly enough. Jay already confirmed it's in it.

Sorry about that, I still have to orientate myself into this HP cue list maze  
Can't wait for the boxset to cross the ocean and fall into my lap.

Right. That's what I meant. Should've clarified more. Sorry @redishere

I think I explained it properly already.  I can't think of a different way to explain it again

Sometimes it's hard to grasp for those without experience working in audio. I can't think of any better way to explain it either. But it will undoubtedly be clearer and more detailed. I can hear it already from the clips in the interview.

did Williams add that himself? that would confirm Ross didn't change any orchestrations whatsoever in the re-recorded cues or "re-composed" anything

[Holko 9,499]

Yes, Jay said Williams wrote that new stringline after they already decided to just track it, so it was recorded newly.

I don't have time to watch your video, but every cue recorded for COS is in the new set.

 

None of the "cues" in which the music editors stitched together HP1 recordings are included.

[Chewy 2,382]

I think we should stop worrying about missing things, this set is perfection, there is no doubt anymore.

God it’s ugly 

[Brundlefly 2,385]

The next person who questions that Williams composed The Chamber of Secrets all by himself is gonna die.

 

EDIT:

No, worse - his soul is gonna be sucked out.

[bollemanneke 3,338]

I would still like official confirmation that every POA recording is on this set, though. (I can live without the shawm and flute solo, but was hoping to see more alternates.)

I thought he only adapted and conducted Ross' original material...

@Jay I made this for you so you can save the typing time.

Can you make another one stating that Ross merely adapted Williams' stuff?

Sure. It was actually pretty easy.

 

 

 

EDIT: And here's an alternate for those of you who would like it.

[Chewy 2,382]

I'm dead this is hilarious!

[Bilbo 3,709]

Can we get a Chamber if Secrets that just says “Composed and Conducted by William Ross”?

I can do all the other CoS alternate covers if it'll help. 😂

Oh yeah sure @Bilbo.

[Faleel 5,340]

Do one with John Williams Ross or just Williams Ross.

Are there different versions of Quidditch, Third year?

Last one for good measure.

[Bilbo 3,709]

I think this is the one I will use for the whole collection.

It would be hard to answer questions about the samples without hearing the samples myself

No, just the film used the new "Page 394" cue in place of the original opening (that's heard on the album)

 

There's some sort of unused choral overlays in the sheet music but who knows if it was recorded or not

[Holko 9,499]

The samples are selected very carefully! Giving the ones who only heard the OSTs justa bit of a taste of new material, and giving us a tiny sample of the alternates and trailer, just enough to make everyone want to hear more.

[scallenger 483]

For Azkaban, I know "Teaser" must be the original teaser music with the (imo superior) first version of "Double Trouble" with the bigger choir and instrumentation, but I do wonder for which trailer the track after that "Trailer" comes from? There were several Azkaban trailers that followed that never sounded like Williams to me, so this has also piqued my interest regarding which one also used original material from him, and which were "library music"? Or maybe that "Trailer" music was never used?

They did feature Williams at the end of one of the theatrical trailers. It sounded like it was just "Reunion of Friends" but maybe they recorded it anew? At 1:20

 

In regards to what was library music, I do know a lot of what pieces of library music were used in the trailers for the first six films to help eliminate possibilities. I could lay it out more specifically later tonight.

 

EDIT: I would guess it's either a new recording featuring some of this Reunion of Friends excerpt or it was entirely unused.
