Popular Post Remco 685 Posted June 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2019 I think we can now safely assume that the TROS recording sessions have started - because that is very clearly the March of the Resistance theme! 😁 I’m so happy that this is really happening, 9 John Williams Star Wars scores.

crumbs 14,304 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I didn't think Williams was composing anything for that ride? But if he was, it makes sense to bundle the recording into the TROS sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It is indeed possible that this is from TROS but is not from a recording session. Remember that JKMS is who creates the parts from JW's sketches, so they start to be involved earlier in the process than the sessions. (That's not to say this can't be from the sessions, just that that's not the only possibility.) crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a really awful mock-up I just made: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c17ivqdrlo0uwix/Star Wars.m4a?dl=0 Just guessing on the tempo, but I can’t recall any where in episodes 7 or 8 where this theme has this syncopated bass part, or is played by muted trumpets (and possibly muted horns?).

Remco 685 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 I never made this thread though, I wrote the post in another thread and suddenly it became it’s own! My thoughts are that the version in the sheet music is unlike anything in Ep 7 and 8 and since it has been stated that TROS will start recording in june, I thought it was safe to assume they did in fact start recording. If not, they’re very very close to it. Fabulin and Will 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I think @King Mark may be referring to the hopefulness that John Williams is 87 years old and is still writing some darn fine kickass music. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crumbs 14,304 Posted June 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2019 He was writing kickass music at 83, then again at 85, then again at 86, so I'm not concerned. It will be sufficiently kickass. And when you consider the musical palette of IX will sufficiently ramp up the dramatic/emotional tone of the action scoring, it's a very enticing prospect indeed. Williams always saves the most goosebump-inducing cues for the third score in his trilogies. MikeH, Once, Remco and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rian Johnson or the GOT guys could theoretically get a theme or something out of him and there's always Galaxy's Edge.

Given the way Yates and Rowling went about things after PoA, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to wash his hands of that franchise. In any case, he’d already delivered the musical goods; three separate composers after him couldn’t dislodge JW as the musical face of HP. (And he got himself the ultimate deluxe score treatment, which is a privilege I don’t see being repeated for Hooper, Doyle, or Desplat any time soon.)

Popular Post mrbellamy 6,272 Posted June 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2019 He said he would have been happy to come back at any time and I believe him. Yates said there was a scheduling conflict preventing him from doing the last one and I believe that too, but also he clearly wasn’t going out of his way to wrangle in Williams. And he wasn’t obligated to prioritize that either but it didn’t make it less disappointing. In the end Williams dropped the mic with one of his best scores ever and he dominates the franchise. The new Star Wars plus BFG have enough great new stuff with rehashing of old ground to make me feel like I’ve pretty much got whatever I missed out on and the HP box set provided all the closure I needed. I grin evilly every time a SW fan gripes that the new music sounds like Harry Potter and even Episode IX feels like karmic payback I really shouldn’t be getting from all the years of hoping he’d do Deathly Hallows.
