Henry Jackman's Falcon and the Winter Soldier

[May the Force be with You 1964]

A first title of the soundtrack has been released in New Zealand.

Don't know if there will be only one title or more to comes like on WandaVision but I do hope so

[Jay 30969]

Looks like just a single track is all that's on iTunes, yep

So, we won't get one album per episode like Mandalorian S1 and WandaVision, right? Like Mandalorian 2, we will instead get one or two albums of highlights, right?

[May the Force be with You 1964]

That's so sad...

Really liked the weekly release of WandaVision scores

I don't think anybody on this forum knows the answer to that question

[May the Force be with You 1964]

I suggest an #releaseHenryJackmanFalconandtheWinterSoldier !

After all it did work with the Snyder Cut

[Edmilson 4497]

It's a shame, I liked the score of the first episode, mostly because it brings back some themes of Jackman's own Winter Soldier score. But I believe at the very least we'll get an album (or two) of highlights

[mstrox 5673]

Kinda a bummer that there was no score today.  I was willing to pay $10 for individual 9-minute releases of Wandavision! Take my money!

[Disco Stu 15468]

Yeah that is a bummer

[JNHFan2000 1365]

I was really looking forward to weekly releases after WandaVision. Very dissappointed😔

[JNHFan2000 1365]

 

[May the Force be with You 1964]

That's sucks!

[MedigoScan 271]

Well at least its 3 episodes and not 4.

[May the Force be with You 1964]

True, I hope it will be long enough to cover properly the three first episode. Really liked Jackman's work on the two first.

[MedigoScan 271]

Why couldnt Mandalorian get this treatment again?

 

Listening to it, it seems like it covers most of the episodes' music, though some of the longer tracks are microedited here and there.

Its also missing the music for when Sam visits his family oddly enough. (and the spoiler character scene from the end of episode 3)

 

[Jay 30969]

I would suspect that the decisions about which Disney+ TV series get weekly episodic scores vs assembled highlight albums are more the composer's decision than the music label's decision

 

I would guess that for Season 1 Goransson was happy to release 8 minialbums every week, as he got to write full scores with new themes for all of them

 

For Season 2 probably because of the covid restrictions of having to do a blend of limited orchestral recordings w/ a lot of tracked music until the finally full orchestra finale, maybe he felt edited highlights best showcased his new work

 

For WandaVision maybe Beck was on board will the mini album idea, and with Falcon maybe Jackman liked this method more

[A Farewell to Kings 3551]

Perhaps the slightly episodic nature of WV plus the Lopez songs influenced the decision

[MedigoScan 271]

That does make sense. Considering the length and feel of this show, it comes across more of a movie OST release.

The score is also entirely chronological this time.. except the endcredits theme is the first track, and the starter music for episode 2 (for the new cap) is used as the last track.

[Jules 59]

The Marching Band Cap Theme slaps. 

 

[JNHFan2000 1365]

I love that they used the Star Spangled Man song by Alan Menken. That big brass band version is soo good!!

[Jules 59]

Was about to correct you on Alan Menken, didn't realise he wrote that! 

Also, after a full listen-through of the score, I'm mostly disappointed. I liked both TWS and Civil Wars' scores, but this doesn't tread a lot of new ground and I can't even pick a standout track at the moment. 

[MedigoScan 271]

I kinda like the theme for the Flagsmashers, but thats mostly because it gets some nice development in the 4th episode.

On this album it only really plays in 'Take one for the team' while the rest of their music uses that threatening instrument I cant really place.

New interview with Henry Jackman about the score

[Edmilson 4497]

The final episode of Falcon and Winter Soldier was, well, pretty bad, but Jackman's score was great. Falcon's theme has some great performances. 

 

I wonder if and when they'll release the vol. 2 of the score.

[gkgyver 1643]

Isn't Henry Jackman the guy who wrote the one bad X-Men score?

Impossible, Hans Zimmer wrote one.

[gkgyver 1643]

Dark Phoenix is okay if you don't consider it, well ... music.

It should be April 30.

I found the both just good. Not extraordinary but quite enjoyable.

The only disappointment for me in that show is that the best scene is the beginning of episode 1 and they never succeed to make something as good as that even though episode 5 was the best IMO.

[Disco Stu 15468]

Ultimately, I'm happy and intrigued with how the characters and larger narrative are left standing at the end and really enjoyed getting to dig a little deeper into both Sam and Bucky as characters.

[Yavar Moradi 1689]

Episodes 4 & 5 (especially 5) were by far my favorites. The finale was a *bit* of a let-down, but I appreciated more of the character stuff in the second half. Jackman's score was consistently enjoyable and I'm glad he brought back material from Winter Soldier.

 

Yavar

[May the Force be with You 1964]

I think episode 5 had exactly everything I loved about The Winter Soldier

But yeah I think the episode 6 would have benefit a more epic end specially after what we see in episode 1. [spoiler ahead]

Spoiler

the final chase in the city is really not the best way to show Sam in his best days (espacially as the oponents can't fly) and there wasn't a real chimical with Bucky to compensate that (like in episode 5) as the two are almost splited up the whole episode (from what I recall)

Anyway it felt good to see back this great duo, really one of my favourite of the MCU (after Tony/Cap and Luis/Ant-Man)

This article pretty much sums up my thoughts about the show:

[JNHFan2000 1365]

The second album is released this friday. 26 tracks and 1 hour and 33 seconds long.

That's a good review. I agree with much of it and can appreciate the validity of the rest. I'm not a huge Marvel enthusiast, so my perspective is different from many viewers', but I thought the show overall had interesting ideas that it didn't always execute very well. I particularly hated how uncomfortable I was with Sam's big speech - the filmmaking itself was just distractingly awkward for me, even though I loved the writing and the message. (And Mackie was killing it, per usual.)

[Edmilson 4497]

Lol

 

 

[MedigoScan 271]

I feel like everything to do with Karli was the biggest victim of Covid.

Though if the original plotline remained intact, I wonder if they would still have tried to keep her sympathetic.

Where do you see this?

[Jay 30969]

Lots of people have been posting good news information lately without providing a link to the source where they saw it, it's very annoying

[MedigoScan 271]

Yeah looks like thats about a half hour shorter than 90 mins..

 

Episode 04 is also absolutely guttered in terms of coverage, which is a shame.

[Jay 30969]

Yes this is why we request links to be provided with "news" like that.  People get disappointed by rumors and made up stuff that gets presented as real information.

[Disco Stu 15468]

Party foul, JNHfan

[May the Force be with You 1964]

I don't know if it has been edited but JNHfan2000 said it would last 1:00:33 so he was correct (well with few seconds less... )

 

Anyway after the great presentations of Beck on WV, it is really disappointing to have so few music and like @MedigoScansaid it's really a shame specially for episode 4. I really think that episode 4 and 5 should have deserved a complete presentation. Maybe later...

 

[MedigoScan 271]

Episode 6 didn't get off unscathed either. The first 3 big actionpieces being reduced to 3minute suites.

 

I am pretty sure that post also originally said 33 minutes, lol.

Then again I dont blame him, but whatever source he used, since he did get the 26 tracks correct.

He edited it.  Look a few posts later to see MedigoScan's quote of the original version

[MedigoScan 271]

The chronological order is also looks more chaotic this time around.

[May the Force be with You 1964]

Okay then:

[JNHFan2000 1365]

Yeah, sorry my bad. I said minutes instead of seconds. Mixup on my part. Sorry. I will in the future share some links if I have anything new to announce.

 

And yeah, album's a bit of letdown. There are moments edited together in tracks. Not chronologic and some great music missing.

Especially episode 4. Some of the tracks from the beginning and the middle.

 

That said, I am glad the fight between Sam, Bucky & Walker + the Dora fight are in here.
