Farewell also has that wonderful transfiguration of Kylo Ren's theme. I hope JW has extended that, and also the interplay between Rey and Ben material. crumbs and BrotherSound 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I've seen just enough of the sheet music now to see that it appears 'Rey and Ben' is identical to 'Farewell' as heard from 0:00-3:55, but then goes off in a different direction at that point. That makes sense given the ending material of 'Farewell' was just heard in the previous movement ('The Rise of Skywalker'). All I know is there's a rallentando marked there, so it's definitely not the jaunty fanfare material. blondheim and Falstaft 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,113 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Looks like Mr.Williams has been very productive in the Lockdown period. This one is certainly a welcome surprise. I hope he will get a chance to perform this suite for a concert if not a studio recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,372 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I hope he does the TROS suite at the Hollywood Bowl! I imagine he would have done it this weekend at Tanglewood if they were still doing normal length concerts instead of covid-shortened ones. if not, it'll get recorded and released somewhere, for sure.

The Rise of Skywalker, The Speeder Chase and Farewell are already 3 of the best tracks on that soundtrack. Add to that a suite of 'villain' music that combines the big Anthem of Evil moment from Join Me, alongside some of Kylo's material (we know his B Theme is quoted) and hopefully some excerpts from the end credits, and he's really curated the score's major highlights in four acts.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yeah, the Join Me statement of the Psalm of the Sith (I'm calling it that forever, sorry) is really haunting stuff. BrotherSound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'd have preferred Falcon Flight over Speeder Chase for concert performances tbh Bofur01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverTrumpet 638 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Speeder Chase is too slow to be exciting. Its tone doesn't really fit the scene at all. I wonder if Falcon Flight has something funny up with it. Isn't that one of the tracks that too closely matches stuff from Gordy's Battlefront?

crumbs 14,318 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I definitely enjoy Falcon Flight more than Speeder Chase, but I can understand why JW chose the latter for this suite. It's a uniquely standalone action cue with no pre-existing material, whereas Falcon Flight features constant references to themes and motifs from prior scores.

artguy360 1,844 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I imagine each of these pieces, aside from The Rise of Skywalker, are fairly revised, no? Otherwise, they have edits and oddities that scream film cue and not concert piece. The speeder chase on the OST has lots of edits that make it sound a bit choppy and we seem to know Psalm of the Sith is quite different than Anthem of Evil or any other individual track.

Tom 4,670 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I listened again to the soundtrack (OST) in light of the suite. I am happy with the four selections. I forgot how much I love A New Home. I wish that had been included as a fifth piece, but such is life. Smeltington and crumbs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping one day we get the alternate version of that cue, and it pairs nicely with the film version as its own mini-suite. But yeah, I really wish we'd gotten that cue as the fifth and final act of this suite. It's the perfect closing cue for the trilogy, maybe even the whole saga. I'd love to hear Williams flesh it out into something more developed (an opportunity Abrams so rarely afforded him).

Popular Post crumbs 14,318 Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2021 Well JW did revisit TFA a few years later to write the Adagio, so... who knows! I'd probably rather he fleshed out TLJ first though. Concert arrangements of The Spark and The Fathiers would be incredible.
