I'm still curious who composed the music for The BFG teaser. That Theme is much better than what we got in the movie.

Tom 4,651 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 It is clearly not pure Williams--maybe the little piano bit is based on/taken from the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallenger 483 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Hmmm I'd still take it as cautious confirmation. People who aren't into film scores often get... confused? Haha. To them things sound "the same" or "close enough" in their brains, often. Not saying he's wrong. Just that he may not be right.

If the beginning of the current Fabelmans trailer music (created by Cavalry Music?) is built upon a John Williams phrase then I am tempted to say that it reminds me of Bach/Gounod's Ave Maria and that, if composed by JW, he may have found inspiration when visiting Bach's grave in Leipzig (the nice photo).

Richard Penna 3,684 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 So, who liked that trailer music to start with, but now doesn't simply because you found out Williams didn't write it? The initial melody is pleasant - the middle goes off into generic territory a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so a conventional style, like a late 1980s teenager improvisation à la Richard Clayderman. I am still looking forward to the film, even though there is a risk that it will be corny and full of piano solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
