John Powell's HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2010) - 2020 Varese 2CD Deluxe Edition

[Jay 37,346]

The sheet music book comes out Friday March 11th, which is very likely the date Back Lot is releasing the expansion digitally, or at least their original intention.

Maybe pressing plant delays have led to the CD edition not being ready by then, and they are delaying the digital release until it can arrive with the CD edition?  Or maybe the digital version will still come out that day and the CD edition will follow?  Who knows!

Reminds me - this is a wonderful take on some of the themes from the first two scores. I particularly like the fast-pace 'courting' theme at the end.

 

(anyone still peddling that ridiculous suggestion that Powell just does percussion loops I read in some other thread... I rest my case  )

Unfortunately I have tried many times to get into Gia music especially since his output is so numerous (Jupiter Ascending, Tomorrowland, John Carter). But I just dont like his themes, orchestrations and very dry sound mix.

Giacchino’s a hack, but he likes Muppets so he’s probably an okay guy.
