Josh500 1,615 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 In recent years, what was your most anticpated score?Mine was definitely PoA. Last year, I just couldnt wait for it to come out. I have never -- and I repeat, NEVER -- looked more forward to getting hold of a soundtrack (or any CD, for that matter) in my life. I guess that was because I have listened to the previous two so many times (I think more than the Star Wars scores) and just couldnt wait to listen to his new ideas in the new HP adventure. Of course, right now, I cant wait for the RotS score, but still PoA will always top MY list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeshopk 8 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 It was the Phantom Menace. We've all been spoiled ever since he returned to grand scoring with that assignment, and we're nitpickers for every amazing score that's followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpeteer 302 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 It was "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." After hearing the music in the trailer, I couldn't wait! It's the one score in recent memory that has lived to, nay, surpassed, expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Composer_Fan 2 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I wasn't a diehard JW fan before Sorcerer's Stone. That was actually my first JW score I bought, but then I kept buying more, and now I'm looking forward to ROTS.~Tyler, who is waiting to listen to it when he buys the CD.

bondo 33 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 ROTS by a landslide. TMP and AOTC were just a tease at the important events that would occur in ROTS. Whether it meets or exceeds expectations... jury is still out until the movie comes out, along with the complete, unedited score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus 0 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I'm gonna have to go with TPM as well, it was such a build up for it, it outruns RotS by a mile, but also because I have more to think of right now then I had 6 years back... I guess mind occupation collides with JW music anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QMM 4 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 RotS wasnt as big as most people here for me even though I did pretty much become a serious JW fan when Ep 1 came out. Right now I'm looking towards WotW, Batman, Kingdom of Heaven, and King Kongwith WotW coming out on top with Batman coming in second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The most excited I've ever been over a Williams score was the release of the Rhino 2-disc edition of Superman - The Movie.

ST-321 4 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 TPM. How could it possibly have lived up to all that hype and 16 years without a new SW score? Still my anticipation for Return of the King was very high and for ROTS even higher. Thankfully ROTS has so far fully lived up to my expectations.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 PoA for me, by far. I was much more a JWFan for that release than I was when SS came out (I was still a fledgeling back then!), and I fondly remember the feverish anticipation of this time last year. Waiting for each new trailer, hoping for any bit of new music, finally downloading the score from AOL....ah, good times indeed.

That seems to be similar to saying that Vader's theme is used too much in "The Empire Strikes Back." The ostinato is the movie's main theme. Of course it's going to be used a lot.

krosstj 0 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Indiana Jones 4, if they ever make the damn thing. Actually those are some of my fav JW scores. GOD, The last crusade is very under-rated as a score I think. Since its alway Raiders this and that, but don't you think that there are even some better pieces then the ear pleasing Raiders march in the movies? I DO!

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 The Lord of The Ring: The Two Towers.The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. I can't imagine anyone actually anticipating more of Howard Shore's long held notes and root position triads. Mind you, I like Tangerine Dream and Vangelis so I guess we all have our illogical passions.The Phantom Menace was easily the most anticipated score (and film!) in recent times for me. The first new Star Wars score since Return of the Jedi??? Are you kidding? I was jumping up and down in anticipation of this! In the end I was a little disappointed by the score, especially by Duel of the Fates which I confess I find extremely boring. The tune is bland, the ostinato is cool but hardly enough to support an entire piece, the choral chords are, well, chords. The rest of the score is very colourful and inventive, but hardly on a par with SW or TESB. Of course the movie itself disappointed me far more than the score did. Attack of the Clones hardly feels like a SW score at all to me. It could have been anyone stepping into JW's shoes and writing exciting "filler" music for the film. I find the score to AOTC to be as hollow as the film itself. I haven't heard any of the music from ROTS yet so I'm reserving judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
