Popular Post Henry Sítrónu 494 Posted December 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'm on vacation and i forgot to switch the license for my notation software from my iMac to my macbook so I can't save or export files.... so I had to screenshot this, my piano version of "A New Home". For all who can read and play, have fun! But I see it as a really quick and dirty one, so no harsh critics, please. My approach is usually a compromise between playability and authenticity regarding voicing.

1977 1,743 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Solium at FSM had this to say: Quote It sounds “small” like a television score or lower budget film score. The over all soundscape is rather depressing and angst ridden. Reminds me of a horror score like Williams Dracula. I didn’t hear anything new that really grabs me. Some unimpressive references of previous themes and continued borrowing from The Rite of Spring. The samples overall meander and drift about. Maybe longer cues if they exist will be more gripping. I didn’t hear anything bad, just nothing really stood out. https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=136440&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=7&r=139#bottom ???

MedigoScan 324 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It would not surprise me at all if Disney just sent in an edited down OST to the oscars this year, after TLJ so brazenly released its entire soundtrack on the DVD. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,319 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Listening to this album again on my commutes last night and this morning, I have some random thoughts -The action music is really strong -This "album" feels more like a small assortment of cues (or portions of cues) than a "proper" album, even more so than the TFA and TLJ FYC albums, which at least had a beginning, middle, and end to them. This feels like they had to bob and weave between cues that either featured old arrangements of themes or ended up getting heavily edited in the final cut. Many of the tracks end in a way that is blatantly clear in the film itself they will instead immediately continue into more music, and the way some of these tracks start is clear they are separated from something that led directly into this "beginning" -While there are certainly 4 or 5 or 6 new themes/motifs at play, I kinda feel like the big triumphant theme from Approaching The Throne, Rescue, and Farewell is the only one that will actually get a concert arrangement -The end credits not appearing here at all make me think the actual end credits in the film will be entirely old arrangements re-recorded; Here's hoping before that decision was made, he wrote and recorded a new unique end credits arrangement and we'll get that on the OST Am I correct in saying these are the old themes that appear on this album? From Star Wars: Luke, Leia, Force, Rebel From Empire Strikes Back: Vader From Return of the Jedi: Emperor From The Phantom Menace: none From Attack of the Clones : none From Revenge of the Sith: none From The Force Awakens: Rey, Kylo, Poe, Resistance From The Last Jedi: none Ricard and crlbrg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc 2,674 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Approaching The Throne is a stunning cue. Strong, driving, going through different themes in a way that makes it like we are definitely approaching something both internally and externally. Fantastic. And Parents makes me weep yet again that John has never written an opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Know 326 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Well, its a bit disjointed and choppy, but that's to be expected for an FYC. And I can't imagine that for the final end titles of the final SW film scored by Williams, there wouldn't be something really special involving many of the classic themes. Time will tel.

Damien F 1,742 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The best thing for Disney to do now is to just release the OST on streaming platforms but there is probably some stupid legal reason why they can't do that early.

Popular Post MrJosh 892 Posted December 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2019 3 times we hear the Force Theme played all the way through, and not just the first phrase like most of its' appearance in TLJ! I really like the version in Track 3. I really love the warmth of the new theme that is reminiscent of Anakin's Theme. Overall, I do notice more dissonance in this music and it makes it feel related to ROTS a little bit. He gave some nice big parts to Don Williams timpani, very loud. Track 9: Love the Emperor's Theme on low flute (alto flute or bass flute?) I'm also liking that there is some variation in the presentation of the themes. The Imperial March statement is not just a copy-paste from a concert version, etc. The Leia's theme statement is unique. Track 21 contains my new favorite 'rebel fanfare' statement of the Sequel Trilogy. This makes me even more excited to hear the OST on Dec 20! I really like what I'm hearing. 4 hours ago, Jay said: From The Phantom Menace: none Ah, but in Track 2! It's a minor-key version of Augie's Great Municipal Band! The genius of Williams!
