Giftheck 743 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'm not going to dig through the thread to see if this has been answered, but the post in the Restored Score thread by BrotherSound got me thinking: If Join Me on the album contains a part of a different cue (Psalm of the Sith according to BrotherSound), just how much of that is that cue, and where does it stop, I wonder? If it's not the ret of the track, what follows it? Also, that section is replaced with music that comes from Battle of the Resistance in the film/FYC but goes back to what's in the OST in the end (with a slightly longer trumpet staccato) And if Anthem of Evil does contain multiple cues, are any unique to it, ALA the opening of Theme for Jurassic Park, or is it made entirely of cues meant for the film? Just thinking out loud here. Not expecting any answers, beyond maybe 'who knows?/won't know for sure unless the sheet music leaks' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TSMefford 1,436 Posted December 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2021 Wasn't sure if this had been shared here before, but I was looking into the work of some session singers and found this little anecdote from Ayana Haviv about her experience working on Rise of Skywalker. Thought I'd share: Quote Listen for the choir in #RiseofSkywalker and you’ll hear me and all 99 of my colleagues in Los Angeles Master Chorale! We got to sing on a couple cues in The Last Jedi and that was utterly amazing, but this was a whole other level - we had an entire 8-hour day with John Williams, largely a cappella (meaning there was no orchestral accompaniment in our headphones), and you don’t get to work with one of the bona fide musical geniuses of our time every day. We made scary Sith noises, sang Luke’s theme (!!!), and watched the maestro defy his 87 (?!) years with incredible stamina and musicality. As previously, he worked almost completely without click, just watching the movie on the podium in front of him (we couldn’t see the screen because security was tighter than an Israeli airport!) and conducting straight to picture. We had time to rehearse and finesse, not a luxury that we normally get on film sessions, and then we’d do 2-3 takes and we’d be done. At one point we sang together with percussion - again with no click! - which amped up everyone’s excitement. At another point JJ Abrams himself gave us some awesome sound effects to do. He was obviously just as giddy as we were. I have to say that 100 singers - definitely the most I’ve ever experienced on a film call, and a luxury most films can’t afford - really helped make this an extraordinary musical experience. Our conductor Grant Gershon was at our side, re-arranging vocal parts when necessary, translating Williams’s requests into singer language, and otherwise performing his usual Grant magic. At the end of that day, the maestro sent us an *amazing* heartfelt thank-you letter that is definitely going on my studio wall. We got to come back and sing with the orchestra too, which was likely the most people there have ever been crammed into Sony’s scoring stage. On one of the sessions, I was right behind the brass when the singers took a break and the orchestra played the main theme. Tears quite literally came to my eyes and I got goosebumps! I didn’t grow up watching these films, but this music is absolutely iconic and it was truly a career highlight to get to hear it up close like that, with the plastic dividers between choir and orchestra literally shaking from the decibel level. At one point that day, the drama was accentuated by one of our singers fainting dead away right at the end of a cue - I won’t out her here! The room was so packed that maestro didn’t notice When she came to, she was so happy that she’d made it to the end of the cue and nothing had to be re-recorded “because I like living in LA and I wouldn’t want to have to leave” Source EDIT: Also a post about her experience singing on Last Jedi as well: Quote It was an incredible session. Everything about it was old school. The choir squeezed into 2 risers at the back of the Sony scoring stage behind a gigantic orchestra, without even any plexiglass dividers - usually these days, the choir is recorded separately so the engineers have better control over the balance between the choir and the orchestra. It was SO thrilling to hear THOSE themes played by THAT brass right in front of me, I get goosebumps just thinking about it! John Williams, who is 80something and looks rather frail off the podium, transformed into someone 30 years younger when he conducted. He was sharp as a tack, hearing tiny details all around the orchestra and beautifully finessing them as we went - obviously I know he was a genius, but it was amazing to watch him work. I would happily have stayed all day to watch him if I had been allowed. We had no headphones because there was no click track to sync the music to the picture - instead, maestro Williams had a screen on his podium and conducted to that. There was no screen behind our heads as usual - possibly to prevent spoilers getting out. We had soooo much luxurious time to rehearse each cue several times and really make it sing before recording. For some of my younger LAMC colleagues, this was their first film session ever!! We barely had time to whisper "that red light means we're recording" before getting started, and later explained how different this session was than the usual. What an amazing first session experience! “I’ve always admired the brilliant artistry of the LA Master Chorale, and I was delighted that they and Maestro Gershon were available to lend their voices to this new Star Wars score,” said Williams. “Los Angeles, and indeed the entire country, can be justifiably proud of this outstanding ensemble.” (faints dead away) This was truly one for the history books. I will never forget it. Source Smeltington, Taikomochi, Mattris and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 12,968 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Would the LA Master Chorale be covered by the same fees as the AFM? If so, those would be some awfully expensive cues to release... repaying the daily work rate to all 100 singers in addition to the entire orchestra, yikes! Lucky we got some of the great unreleased vocal cues on the FYC (which cost Disney nothing to include!) because I can't see even Disney forking out that kind of money to release this material.

Prequel experts: @Manakin Skywalker @Jay happen to know? I'm not sure we have an answer, but I always assumed it was also a case of scenes not being completed; both the beginning of the Obi/Grievous fight and the temple march sequences were almost completely CGI for example. I'm still curious about how much was finished and/or what the plan even was for the Drawing Swords & Good Guys Arrive sections, I would assume at least the second half was (mostly) completed. But then you have scenes like the one directly after (Mace: "A plot to destroy") which also has tracked music.

Manakin Skywalker 3,889 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I assume it does, since GEMA has titles for some of the other tracked sections. But there not being a recorded 4M2 is certainly interesting. EDIT: Another thing I thought of, that scene in the film was reshot. And as we know from the I Am The Senate debacle, John must've scored a cut of the film from before the reshoots had taken place. Originally there was a scene earlier in the film between Mace/Yoda/Obi-Wan where some of the dialogue was the same as the "council roundtable" scene. That still doesn't account for why John skipped over 4M2 though, so I'm not sure what's going on there. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, they did watch the march on the Jedi temple scene as part of the spotting, and it seems Williams was planning to write a cue for it at that point: Quote They then tackle a series of scenes that begins with Anakin leading hundreds of clone troopers into the Jedi Temple, then segues into the murder of various Jedi throughout the galaxy. Williams suggests marching sounds and music. Brando and Manakin Skywalker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have remembered the others, but I don't remember these! So there you have it, TROS has music from ALL NINE FILMS! Kind of impressive, in a way.

So there you have it, TROS has music from ALL NINE FILMS! Kind of impressive, in a way. The Clash of Lightsabers reference is buried under SFX and we don't have that section of music clean, so understandable it hasn't been widely noticed. It's more of an Easter egg than an outright reprise anyway. The Hyperspace reference is a bit easier to spot thanks to the FYC. But yeah, on one hand it's fun that all 8 previous scores were referenced... but on the other, I hate that it came at the expense of original music JW composed for the 9th film.

Smeltington 1,093 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Of course it would have been nicer if those references had been new arrangements. As it is, if we ever get the complete score I'll probably be editing out as much rehashed material as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it being specifically mentioned that many of the arena battle scenes were incomplete when Williams was scoring Episode II, so I assumed it was a similar situation for ROTS. Prequel experts: @Manakin Skywalker @Jay happen to know? I seem to recall that the tracking in ROTS, particularly The Arena and Duel of the Fates, was something that George requested specifically very early on. I remember Williams commenting in an interview something akin to: "I wanted to compose something new, but George wanted to use Duel of the Fates for the duel."

As you say, all the new scenes were shot before Williams spotted the film. But yeah, all the tracked music in the prequels was pre-planned and had cue numbers. Many of the scenes were still not completed, but it's hard to know the reasoning behind the tracking of 4m2 in ROTS, or Anakin's post-nightmare scene in AOTC. In any case, there was no music composed for those scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
