Popular Post Ludwig 1,120 Posted June 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 8 hours ago, Falstaft said: The overture seems more developmental and motivically disciplined than usual, though curiously at the expense of a big, extended hummable tune. @Ludwig, correct me if I'm wrong, but is there what you'd describe as a traditional "grammatical theme" at all in this piece? Makes it tricky to know what to transcribe. Yes, I think you're right. I don't hear any full-fledged 8-bar theme anywhere here. Several times there are 4-bar phrases that are restated at a new transposition then they develop in a different direction. So it kind of suggests it might go the full 8 bars but never seems to. What would be really helpful is a thematic map of the piece like we've seen with those colored bars representing different themes or otherwise consistent material. It's funny that despite it being a fun piece, it's surprisingly hard to get a grasp of its structure. Every time I hear it (and it's been 3 now), I hear the sections coming back more clearly, but I don't get a big-picture structure of the piece as I listen to it. Would be great to see how it's put together, though! Falstaft, Cerebral Cortex, Tom and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,633 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The more I listen to this, I think the melodic aspects, while listenable and celebratory on their own, are meant to crystalize in the final and full statement of the Horray for Hollywood theme. it is like a catharitic and perfect celebratory moment. I love this piece. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis 244 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The Hector video is edited! The Hooray motif also appears at about 2:53 into the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi 404 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I love this piece. There is a part small part reminds me Jerry Goldsmith's The Great Train Robbery. Really enjoyable. I wait a real recording now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that t influenced him. How could it, he said he barely remembered it. So anyways Jaws 2 everyone interpolated.at the Hollywood Bowl.

Tom 4,633 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Yes, that fun, late 70s/early 80s vibe is clearly present--I went to the Esplanade overture, but I can definitely see Jaws 2. JoeinAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It's Thomas Wilkins conducting. Nice, it sounds better than the previous captures, imho. I caught a lot more details. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
