If anything, that indicates this new photo was taken quite recently. Yea, I definitely spoke too soon, what you say here is more logical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Mr. Smarty Pants, I don't think anyone's arguing it was a 'faked' recording session, just that we can't determine if this was taken at a TROS recording session or during something else. Clearly the photograph itself was staged (note the laughing musician in the background and the dimmed lighting) but it could have been taken during last month's ASM recording sessions. In case you didn't know, her album includes an arrangement of Leia's Theme, hence the sheet music that appears to say -- you guessed it -- Leia's Theme. The photo of Leia is undoubtedly an unreleased photo from TROS but could a) be Photoshopped in or, b) projected just for the sake of the staged photograph. Note the lack of Lucasfilm watermark, markings, cue title or timestamps on the vision -- highly irregular for a score recording.

The caption doesn't say it was a Rise of Skywalker Recording session, though. And yeah, people were arguing that it was faked. It's on the last page. You're just now saying it was "staged" which... You guys are trying to answer a question that isn't even a question, is all. Think about it - this article had to be prepped and put to bed how long ago? Which means the photos themselves were likely taken all at the same general time period in order to be put through the same production pipeline at the magazine so that they could hit the same deadline. If you can determine when that rough time period is (and you can) then... there you go. You already know he's written 25 minutes of music. You know he's recording some of it very soon. You know he's recorded music for Star Wars in the very recent past, too. You know all this stuff! It's a cool picture of a great composer. That's really all it is.

Popular Post BrotherSound 2,246 Posted May 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2019 My best guess is this is from the Ann-Sophie Mutter session. As @Falstaft pointed out, this is definitely Leia's Theme, and we know there's a new Leia's Theme arrangement that's part of that project. The cello part appears to start out just like the concert version of Leia's theme, but this is longer than that. Note the 16th notes at measure 44: this section only happens once in this arrangement, but something similar appears again in the arrangement on the stand. And from what I've heard, it's JW's usual practice to just use the Hal Leonard versions if he's re-recording something that's already been published (Star Wars main title, Harry's Wondrous World, etc.) Published cello part for reference: Will, Falstaft, _deleted_ and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Of course, they easily could have piggybacked some Star Wars project (like my tribute video theory) on to the Mutter sessions. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
