rough cut 1,714 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It was about two years ago that Lights, Camera... Music! was released. Looking back it's the kind of release that is very unusual since it cuts deeper than most JW re-recordings released. I thought it'd be fun to sum up the new arrangements we know exist, and that we'd love to get professional recordings of. This is what I'd wish for if there ever was a vol. 2 released. Thoughts? The new arrangements of: Han Solo And The Princess (New arrangement) The Book Thief (Oscar arrangement) The Face of Pan from Hook (revised) Leaving Home from Superman (Oscar arrangement) Diagon Alley & Gringot’s Vault from Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (revised) Lost World Main Theme (revised) Esplanade Overture from Monsignor (”Meeting In Sicily” concert arrangement) Irina’s Theme from Indiana Jones And The Crystal Skull (revised) I wouldn't mind some re-recordings of some deep cut cues as well... New recordings wish list: Reuniun In Italy from Monsignor Yes, Giorgio! Botanicus Training With George from Eiger Sanction. Preparations from Black Sunday Love Theme from Heidi Double Trouble from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Soundtrack (no-choir arrangement) A Window To The Past from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Soundtrack (re-arranged) Across The Stars from Star Wars Episode II Attack Of The Clones The Trip To Earth, Love Theme and The March Of The Villains from Superman And since this post is about wishing, I'd love to hear new and expanded concerts arrangements of: Polyjuice Potion from Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets Qui-gon Jinn’s Theme from The Phantom Menace Wet Bandits' Theme from Home Alone Thompsons' Theme from Tintin Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 All good choices ^ I'd add The Accidental Tourist concert arrangement (the one that's on the Hayman comp), Blood Moon from Images, Nixon and anything from the 60's including Fitzwilly, The Rare Breed, The Plainsman and How to Steal a Million.

Dream on Yes, I want an all 50s and 60s compilation, preferably with selections from titles that have no release whatsover -- so THE PLAINSMAN counts, but not the others among your selections. OK, maybe THE RARE BREED even if it has a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Matt S. 493 Posted August 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2019 How about a new recording (possibly an expanded concert arrangement) of End Title, End Cast from Jaws 2? Poor Jaws 2 is completely overshadowed (or should I say "swallowed?") by its predecessor, despite being a fantastic score in its own right. In fact, has ANY orchestra ever recorded anything from it? The City of Prague Philharmonic records EVERYTHING, and I don't think they've even touched it.

There was a ProArte John Williams compilation CD I saw in a record store (remember those?) in the late 80s / early 90s that had something on from Jaws 2. It was some oddball orchestra like Beverly Hills Pops or Sunset Pops, could very well have been synth too. Could never find it again after that.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 It looks like JW is a little bit more comfortable these days revisiting older, more obscure pieces from his repertoire. That being said, we don’t know which of those he would approve to be performed/recorded anew—from what it seems, he wouldn’t approve much of his really early stuff, while he seems okay with things from early 70s onwards, even though it’s a case-by-case basis. Lockhart however seems to know how to get things from him—during this year’s Pops season he performed “The Turbulent Years” from Nixon several times. So, considering what’s already available as published suites, what could be dusted off from JKMS and the BSO library and what realistically JW would allow, here’s my wish list for a Vol.2: Esplanade Overture End Title from The Poseidon Adventure Blood Moon from Images Overture from Tom Sawyer End Title (or Ballet from Divers) from Jaws 2 The Ancestral Home from The River Theme from The Accidental Tourist Theme from The Lost World Theme from Seven Years in Tibet Epilogue from War of the Worlds Suite from the Book Thief The Presidents Suite: Prologue from JFK The Turbulent Years from Nixon The People’s House from Lincoln Three Pieces from the Star Wars saga: Han Solo and the Princess from TESB The Rebellion is Reborn from The Last Jedi Concert Piece from The Rise of Skywalker Jurassic Shark and rough cut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Instead of a new compilation, I'd much rather that the LSO/Boston Pops started putting out CDs with entire recordings of suites, like the three HP ones, all the Star Wars arrangements etc. This would give the music a more serious nature, in my humble opinion: they should stop randomly recording whatever they please, so no Harry's Wondrous World but the whole suite.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yes, I mean that we need to abandon the 'greatest hits' mindset and encourage recordings of the whole suites to make people aware of the fact that it's more than 'yeah, Star Wars!!!', that he's the Bach of our days whose Harry Potter's Children's Suite is right up there with the Goldberg Variations.

rough cut 1,714 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 I hear you, and I’m all for spreading the gospel! But right now there just seems so many arrangements out there without a proper recording or where the latest recording is really old. I am all for what you are proposing but I really hope the future holds place for both kinds of releases. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
