Greg1138 3 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Query - it is known that originally Lucas had already-existing Classical/Romantic music playing behind Star Wars, before JW got involved.....Is there any record of what pieces he was actually using?Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well, Holst's "Planets", mainly, and I think also some Stravinsky (Sacre) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 478 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 And we also know that Williams was heavily inspired by Korngold too! King's Row & The Sea Hawk in particular, if anyone is unfamiliar with the latter scores I urge you to check them out. - Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Clearly part of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Also there is some of Dvorak's 9th Symphony in it. And of course The Planets.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 The SE liner notes name "Holst, Dvorák, Walton, Miklos Rosza's score for Ben-Hur (1959), and others." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krosstj 0 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Mostly Planets I think, althought this has been stated several times. Does anyone remember the original teaser? I know its on the DVD, but I'm traveling at the moment and I can't look it up, was there any music playing in it? If so, what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benefactor 3 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I remember in some interview Anthony Daniels said there were "Bolero" by Ravel. I think for the Jawas scenes. May be some of Tchaikovski for Princess Leia.It could be interesting to re-create those temp tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klokwerk 0 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Well, if enough contributions are made here, that is, names of supposedly used scores, then I'm sure someone with enough enthusiasm and time could recreate the temp track (well, not recreate 100% - but close enough) .
