In Sabrina, no-one can hear you scream.

 

If no one can hear Sabrina scream, then Linus is doing his job wrong 

 

Oh gosh, this is the silliest expansion thread ever 

[QuartalHarmony 648]

The only thing necessary for silly threads to continue is for sensible people to do nothing, as Edmund Burke probably didn’t say.

[bespinGPT 8,680]

They announce an expansion of Sabrina and we don't have the track listing yet, of course it goes silly!

Honestly, I prefer this silly meme of potential Sabrina sequels than the utterly pointless and repetitive Star Wars discussions that happen on the Disenchantment thread.

[QuartalHarmony 648]

Maybe, but that’s a very low bar!

[Jurassic Shark 12,970]

Perhaps we can lure @Mattris to the Sabrina thread...

[QuartalHarmony 648]

We don’t need him here - surely we all know that Sabrina is an allegory for all of Star Wars. If you watch it in the right way. With the right books.

[Jurassic Shark 12,970]

And the sequel is already filmed.

Yea that combining of music from different parts of the film that isn't even in the same style together rarely works for me

Yeah. I’m lookin’ at YOU, “The Arrival at Tatooine and The Flag Parade”! I have to listen though all this boring Jar Jar Wanders Around music before my freakin’ FLAG PARADE???

yep, not for me. CD 2 will rarely be played, I fear, if I buy this. Perhaps in a few years there will be a reprint of CD 1 alone?

So you would omit the two Williams-composed songs for the film which are integral with the score? Or the fantastic Mike Lang improvisation on one of his main themes, which was played in the podcast?

Sabrina being an allegory for Star Wars was planned from the beginning: "Sabrina" is actually an anagram for "Lightsaber". You just have to duplicate and flip the r, extend the n, rotate the b, duplicate and cross the i, duplicate the s, and flip one a. These changed letters of course spell "brains", a reference to the immense intelligence you need to discover the truth

[Andy 5,110]

I hate myself for getting the Star Wars Disenchantment references.

Sabrina City: A Dame to Kill For

[rpvee 854]

I’ve admittedly never seen the film, but the theme has become one of my favorites through Williams’ concerts, where it’s been performed often over the years. It’s just so beautiful.

 

Does the whole score feature the theme rather prominently?

[Jay 39,241]

Yeah

Yes. i dont like songs in general, the tunes as themes used in the score are enough and the really interesting thing for me. The impro was nice, but inconsequential fluff. Of course I would have to listen to everything first, maybe there will be one or two pieces that will find the way into the playlist as bonus, we will see.

Might there be a middle ground where someone likes the score but isn't fussed about whatever else Williams came up with for the film overall?

 

Seems the same sort of thing as other expansions which contain source or other 'performance' music by the composer, but which differs in style from the score itself. A fan of one may not necessarily be a fan of the other.

[pete 950]

I was just thinking that I intensely dislike songs based on themes by Williams that I love. Here are a few that come immediately to mind, and I quite like Sting singing In The Moonlight.

 

For Always, If I Could Remember, If I Were in Love, and Nice to be Around.

I could also live with the Home Alone themes having no lyrics.

 

I like the Sting version of In the Moonlight, too.

I'll take this one quasi-seriously because I'm bored.

 

Transforming "Sabrina" into "Lightsaber" (the Mattris way, at least) would require, as you observed, lengthening the "n" to make it an "h", flipping one of the "a"s to make it an "e", and then finding a justification for adding the letters L, g, and t.

 

The altered letters (plus an additional "n" that I totally didn't add by mistake) give you "Length", obviously a reference to the long game Mattris is playing in the Star Wars Disenchantment thread.

Here it's 1st of May noon.

When are we expecting the track list?

[bespinGPT 8,680]

Repeat "Sabrina" three times in front on your bathroom mirror, and the track list will appear!

I did that and a demon appeared, did I do something wrong?

La-La Land always reveals their tracklists in the email that goes out the night before their new releases go on sale.  I believe that email goes out around midnight PST / 3am EST, something like that

 

Then you can order it at 12noon PST / 3pm EST on Tuesday May 2nd, which is the same time that samples go live.

A little off topic, but I'm particularly looking forward to more of the "If I Could Remember" melody. I can't stop humming it. Well I can, but I don't want to.

[Jay 39,241]

Do you mean "How Can I Remember?" 

[pete 950]

Oops.. Yep. The melody that the horrible song is based on.

@pete couldn't remember 

[GerateWohl 4,987]

"How Can I Remember?"  reminds me too much of "Reflections" from Mulan.

I know, "How Can I Remember" is older. But "Reflections" is better, I have to say.

Therefore, I am not a big fan of the song.

But as an instrumental theme it works perfectly.

[filmmusic 2,172]

Great tracklist, and despite some comments here about the songs, I believe the 2nd cd will get a lot of plays by me, since I love such music.

I wonder if the ost has unique album arrangements that aren't here.

For example, can anyone guess which track is the NANTUCKET VISIT that I really liked from the ost? 

[GerateWohl 4,987]

I am curious, if there is any difference between and

 

1. Theme From Sabrina (Extended Version) 5:19

 

and

 

35. Theme From Sabrina (Reprise) 5:21

 

The two tracks are suspiciously equal in length.

 

The only thing I miss is a piano solo arrangement of "Theme From Sabrina".

But ok. We have the Simone Pedroni recording in addition.

 

Looking forward to this.

[BB-8 3,898]

Wow!

Well the title track is about 2 minutes or more solo piano. So that is all we need no?

[crocodile 8,446]

That is a surprisingly long tracklist. I am now really interested to hear this.

[Nemesis 254]

Wow, that set is perfect! Complete score plus the party arrangements, which I always loved. The Party Sequence from the ost was a track I listened alot.

Yeah, but you’re probably gonna type again and that’s where we have the real problem. (jk!! We love ya)

 

That track list is something else, though. The entire second CD is ready-made for hosting your own cotillions or soirées. I can see how that reason alone could help sell units.
