Melange 446 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 That part from Phantom Menace, is pretty good. "Flag Parade" i think it was called. Before the speeder race. What else? Um..well there is Jerry's "The Hunt" from The Final Conflict (although i dont agree with such a 'sport'). Um, i'll have to think a little and put some more later.

JWFAN4LIFE 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 While I voted for Quidditch the third year, it is really a tie btw the soccer game, the quidditch match, and quidditch the third year to me. I just can't get enough of all three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Quidditch, Third Year I believe. The best fugato writing I've heard in a film score in a long time. Also Rudy...and of course The Hunt, as mentioned by Melange - one of the most amazing film score cues of all time to me.Marian - 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Coscina 3 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I love The Football Game from SLEEPERS. So different from the usual (but brilliant) Williams style. It's also in 9/4 meter which is kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Quidditch Third Year is great, the best action cue in PoA. But The Quidditch Match is such a perfect blend of Williams' old and new action cue styles. It's possibly the best action cue Williams has written in years, with only a couple from TPM that I think can challenge it from the late 90s on.

Ricardo224 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 What? No mention of "The Tennis Game" from Witches of Eastwick? 8O That's one of the better sports action cues from Mr. Williams in my opinion. Ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Ack! Now the word "Quidditch" looks incredibly weird when I look at it because it was mentioned so many times.I voted for The Quidditch Match, as John mentioned for its thematic qualities. Qudditch, Third Year is also brilliant, but I'm a sucker for themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 In the absence of The Tennis Game (I assume you just forgot to put this on...) I went with Banning Back Home. It's a fantastic little bit of light fusion jazz. The pianist shines too! The various Olympic Fanfares are the Williams pieces that really make me think of sports though.

Melange 446 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Rocky.NeilGood choice . Aswell as the early scores, there has been some great music and songs written for the Rocky movies altogether. Rocky IV (not Rambo IV) has had a slot in my collection for years. 8O "Heart On Fire" (Rocky IV) My brother has been a boxer in the Air Force and often used Rocky music for training. How many times he must have ran up steps on cold mornings and danced around with his hands in the air, i have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I voted for "The Quidditch Match" - it's vintage Williams. "Quidditch, Third Year" is incredibly complex though, and a joy to listen to.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 One question I have about Quidditch, Third Year: When it's mentioned some of our music-wise members always say that it's a great fugato, or has a great fugato, or something. As someone who has zero music knowledge I'd like to know: What is that? Is it the whole cue, or just part of it (please specify track time)? Thanks.

Josh500 1,615 Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Yeah, I knew there ARE other sports music that I forgot (The Tennis Match). That's why I put in the OTHER option. I have to say, though, I'm surprised no one chose The Early Years from Born on the Fourth of July. While not completely a sports cue, I think this is one of the best John Williams cues heard in ANY film. I love the way it starts sadly (while Ron Kovic watches the Fourth of July parade), then more optimistically (during the fireworks and the first kiss), and then really swells to a magnificent and emotionally charged piece performed surperbly by strings (during the baseball game). The Tim Morrison trumpet solo as the camera pans slowly through the suburban street at sunset is also nostalgic and heart-warming.So, if it weren't for The Quidditch Match, that would have been my first choice. Anyone with me??? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
