Jay 38,660 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 I just made a new discovery, more of a correction I guess: I missed before that "Polybius Cipher" appears before "Helena's Tutorial" in the GEMA list, so now I believe that "Polybius Cipher" is heard in the film from 1:29:30-1:33:31, and that Helena's Tutorial is an INSERT that was given a unique name, and appears from 1:30:42-1:31:23 within that. So for the OST track, he began it with the clean opening of the insert and then continued from its end into the rest of Polybius Cipher. Along these same lines, I think that "Indy Recognizes Professor Schmidt" is a new opening to "Doing Helena's Bidding" that got its own name, and same with "Rahim Arrives" being a new opening for "You Don't Need Me?" that got its own name. I think it's easy to tell where "Indy Recognizes Professor Schmidt" ends and "Doing Helena's Bidding" begins (in the film and OST track), but I had a very hard time deciding where I think "Rahim Arrives" ends and "You Don't Need Me?" begins. They play from 1:00:34-1:01:37 if anyone wants to weigh in with their thoughts (my best guess is that 1:01:02 is where the switchover happens) Brando and Manakin Skywalker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be well before Indy realizes Helena is on the plane though. I'm gonna let the scene play in the background while I work and maybe I'll catch it. edit: yeah i'm hearing nothing in the plane in ancient greece ONLY thing it could possibly be is 2:09:14-2:09:18 but it sounds so vague, to me at least, and if thats what you're talking about after a viewing in the theater....then you got some amazing ears, my friend!

I was watching the first four films when they turned up on Disney + but switched to my Crystal Skull Blu-ray because the flattened sound during the nuclear blast sequence was so bad. Seriously Disney, let users turn on dynamic range compression themselves without ruining it for everybody that still has a decent sound system!

The Battle of Syracuse reminds me very much of some action music from The Lost World, but I don't know if this is a quote. In general I am surprise of this many similarities to older, unrelated soundtracks. It would be interesting to know if they were a deliberate choice of Williams to incorporate them into his probably last score as a kind of summary of his life work or if it is just unconscious bubbling up of those ideas during the composing. Or even a sign of failing creativity although this would seem strange since he composed one of his best concert works just before this score.

I don't think the Syracuse music is that similar to The Lost World. Both employ a lot of percussion, but the Syracuse cue is more, say, ancient, as in Greco-Roman (filtered through classic Hollywood's lens) ancient. I feel this is Williams way of paying tribute to Rosza and the other ancient epic scores from the past. TLW's percussion, on the other hand, is more primal and wild, like evoking a time before human civilization where large, ferocious beasts ruled the Earth.

Damien F 1,761 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I get the impression it was business as usual for him while writing the action cues except for The Battle of Syracuse where he decided to lean into the golden age style of swords and sandals scores. It probably wasn't too difficult or even innovative for him but wasn't as by-the-numbers as the other action cues in the score. The Battle of Syracuse is an awesome track.

Popular Post crumbs 14,582 Posted September 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2023 Large chunks of the Prologue were almost certainly temp track re-records. A little disappointing, but I get it. The man was 90 and wanted to focus his priorities elsewhere, which yielded pieces like Helena's Theme. Considering the alternative was Chamber of Secrets 2.0 (a few new themes paired with mostly Ross adapted music) I'm perfectly happy with what we got.
