A simple and exposed but extremely effective mini-melody for low brass. Ha, I thought of that one. That was always one of my favorite moments, very meaty and gutsy. Seeing it happen in real-time in the documentary sealed a special connection I have with that whole cue. Arpy and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingeMoisi 4 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I agree one of the ""manliest'" scores from Williams has got to be the entirety of TLW (which is why I admit TLW is one of my favorite scores from our maestro). What do you think of this one? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of low brass and pounding percussion. There's also a brief moment as the Falcon is about to escape from the space worm in Empire. A simple and exposed but extremely effective mini-melody for low brass. is it his moment?

SteveMc 2,674 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just came to me, but is it just me, or is there something rather staunchly masculine about the opening of The 1960s: The Turbulent Years? The hairy-chested bravado seems enhanced, even, by the softer, more vulnerable material that immediately follows. And then there is the electrically set off fanfare that anticipates both Duel of the Fates and March of the Resistance. Some juicy stuff here, to be sure.

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 We have a winner! I am calling this The Arena March per @Incanus. This is a fantastically swaggering and badass March and the driving rhythm gives it a sense of guts. Is this theme underrated in Williams' SW ouvre?

Popular Post Larry O 115 Posted May 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'd submit The Spark from Last Jedi. that might be helped by the fact the hellacious build that just keeps adding instruments and getting louder and louder is preceded by such a gentle rendition of "Luke and Leia" Keeping with The Last Jedi, I'd also say Chrome Dome is pretty "masculine" in that it's basically just low strings, drums, and horns almost punching each other out. The Last Jedi gets pretty "muscular" in quite a few spots. The score got knocked when it first came out for not really containing any new "hits" as it were, but it's a really good entry in the Star Wars canon overall.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The Lost World is definitely Williams manliest most testosterone-fueled score. It makes me want to go out in the forest with a gun and hunt dinosaurs while smoking a cigarette and turn to my fellow hunters and say, "Alright, guys. Let get the hell outta here."

Arpy 4,145 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I find myself returning to The Lost World where there's a force there that is constantly driving the action, and the rhythm of the percussion adds to that even in the quieter scenes. It was Williams saying, 'fuck the resplendent fanfares, this ain't no theme park!' I just wish we can get another chance for him to jump back into that dark territory and bring out those juicy textures like in TLW.

It's really a pretty unique Williams score, stylistically speaking, even though there are a lot of very obvious manifestations of tried-and-true JW compositional techniques. I loooove all the percussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
