[Obi 409]

OOHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Bellosh 4,465]

Spoilers and no spoilers threads.  Always two there are, no more, no less.

[Jay 44,694]

Fanfare and Prologue opens with the traditional main title (sounds newly recorded to me), then some unreleased music, then what we heard in the FYC "Prologue" track, and THEN a bunch of AWESOME new music, including SWEET renditions of Emperor's Theme!!!

[Disco Stu 15,517]

Oh shit oh shit.  The title track is a concert arrangement!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tydirium 1,556]

New recording of the Main Title!

[Jay 44,694]

Journey to Exegol is an interesting track, with a bunch of cool percussion, and then some Kylo Ren's theme that is used in the FYC track Prologue, I believe.  Ends with a WICKED rendition of the Imperial March!  Then the Rising and Falling motif from FYC Prologue is heard

 

Nothing from Falcon Flight is in this track.

[aj_vader 712]

Journey to Exegol 1.56 IMPERIAL MARCH! 

[SilverTrumpet 652]

MAIN TITLE IS BACK! 

[Obi 409]

And Harry Potter theme

[Jay 44,694]

Rise of Skywalker is a very nice concert arrangement... I think this will be a concert staple for a while.

 

Towards the ending of the concert arrangement is very similar passage to the ending of FYC Farewell, which is followed by a super fun concert-y ending.

This track is GREAT!!!  I like it much more than the concert arrangements of Luke and Leia or Across the Stars

[Disco Stu 15,517]

I'm so happy!

[Romão 2,447]

In the opening track there's a string motif from Revenge of the Sith, no?

[SteveMc 2,682]

The Main Title does sound new.  Sounds brighter and a tad faster (but that might just be my excitement!).

Prologue is nice and moody/suspenseful.

[Tydirium 1,556]

Oh MAN, the opening of "Journey to Exegol" is amazing!

[dylanskie 122]

I just listened to the first few seconds of the Main Title and it sounds noticeably different, but also better!

[aescalle 123]

Listening the Finale!

[eitam 404]

While i'm stuck at work and can't track down the music, this thread is the next best thing !! 

[Tydirium 1,556]

"The Rise of Skywalker" is everything I wanted it to be. This one will be a classic.

[Jay 44,694]

The Old Death Star is basically FYC The Old Death Star, which it's cool Imperial March and stuff, and FYC Off The Waterfront.  Interesting little track

[aescalle 123]

The Finale is incredible !!!!!!

YES!

[Disco Stu 15,517]

"Speeder Chase" is so much fun.  I think it has a sequence specific motif, which is great.

[Jay 44,694]

The Speeder Chase oh boy, this is a great action track!!  Oh wow, features a REALLY COOL and very lengthy trumpet fanfare that was not heard in the clip posted!  Oh, the fanfare returns!  This track is great!

 

Jeez, this might be my favorite action track of the sequel trilogy!

 

Ha!  It even has an almost concert-like ending bit!  I wonder if that appears in the film that way or if Williams recorded it just for the album

 

This album is paced incredibly well so far.  Nice balance between fast and slow, exciting and scene-setting, etc.

[Amer 2,685]

I suppose The Finale  is special re arrangement for the album and the film End Titles will be shorter? 

[Giftheck 1,167]

He recorded a new main title and it was used instead of the TFA one.

Yes. So beautiful. Amazing.

[Pellaeon 597]

Anthem of Evil - concert suite of the Emperor’s Theme!!

Yes, seems a new recording !

[Jay 44,694]

Jeez, you guys bouncing around disappoint me.  I can't imagine not taking his presentation in full, in order the first time.

[Dr. Know 469]

"Rise of Skywalker".... WOW

[Disco Stu 15,517]

Spoiler

Yoda's Theme at the end of Destiny of a Jedi!

 

[Pellaeon 597]

Well, I’m at work, not really able to “take it in” properly anyway.

[SteveMc 2,682]

Rise of Skywalker is delicious stuff.

 

But Speeder Chase is really where it's at.  Top tier action piece.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

Oh my gosh.  Just the opening of "Anthem of Evil."  Goosebumps!

There’s an unconfirmed report the film end credits are about 10 minutes long (beginning at minute 132 of 142), so maybe not…

I listen in the order, one by one, I'm on "The Speeder Chase" Jaws 2 style track.

I already want to say it's my favorite Postlogie score ^^

[aj_vader 712]

FINALE!!!!!! IMPERIAL MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Jay 44,694]

Destiny of a Jedi definitely does not sound like a concert arrangement, it's film cues.  Some nice dark broody stuff here.  Oh!  Leia's Theme!  Luke's Theme!  The Trio Theme!  Yoda's Theme!  Holy cow this track is nuts with themes!  Ah yes, this rendition of Yoda's Theme is now basically taken directly from the "Yoda and the Force" track from TESB.

 

Wow, another knockout

[SteveMc 2,682]

Destiny of a Jedi is an excellent, old school Williams cue.

[Jay 44,694]

Anthem of Evil - HOLY COW, that opening!  It opens with a spooky whispered version of The Emperor's Theme.  Wow!  As this track goes on, it keeps the quiet and subdued air to it...... this is really really cool.  Now there's a new theme playing, I think the theme from FYC Prologue and FYC Join Me?  The intensity is really picking up now, and now a nice grand finale.

 

That was a cool arrangement, but The Rise of Skywalker is the clear standout concert arrangement of this score

[Dr. Know 469]

No question, Johnny is still at the top of his game.  Just incredible.

[SteveMc 2,682]

Anthem of Evil is rather stunning.  

[Jay 44,694]

Fleeing from Kijimi, basically an extended version of the FYC track.  There's a cool passage starting where the FYC track ends that was pretty fun, then more Kylo Ren's theme.  Oooh, then a nice, but brief rendition of Luke's theme!

[aj_vader 712]

I'm full on crying listening to this, it's beautiful 

[Tydirium 1,556]

Isn't "Anthem of Evil" a new theme? It's not the classic Emperor theme.

[Romão 2,447]

Anthem of Evil is a concert arrangement, no?

The whole thing is the new theme, even from the beginning; where are you hearing the classic Emperor's theme?

Yes, it is a concert arrangement

The beginning of the track reminded me of the Emperor's Theme *shrug*

[Tydirium 1,556]

Ah. But it's actually the same melody as throughout the whole thing: the new "evil" melody of this score. I actually couldn't hear a single instance of the classic theme in there.
