The Incredible Film Music Box?

Recommended Posts

I haven't had any luck on the Trading Board, so I figured I'd try here. I'm looking for anyone who has Silva's recent collection, The Incredible Film Music Box. I'm really just interested in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban suite, so if anyone has it and would like to trade online, that'd be great! Let me know and I can send you my collection list.

Thanks,

Ray Barnsbury

Hey Ray, do you have this box? What does the suite contain? And is the same rerecording on the recent Harry Potter compilation from Silva or is it a different rerecording?

I found the suite on iTunes. I'm gonna take a bullet for you people and buy it. Does anyone object?

EDIT: It's also 5 minutes shorter than the OST's Mischeif Managed.

OMG, something is messed up, someone else tell me if the Pirates of the Carribean sound clip preview thing actually sounds really calm and soothing, and actually beautiful when they play it.

I must say, it does sound rather decent on the 'Epics' compilation of there's (I assume it's the same clip). The clip certainly gives the impression of a score far better than the one we've got. Aside from the action music, which sounds just as bad here as it does in the film (although it did sound quite good in Black Hawk Down). And is it just me, or does some of MI:3 bare a resemblance to the main action motif from this film (the one copied from Black Hawk Down, aslo used in Command and Conquer: Generals)? (the brief motif presented, among other places, at around 2:52 into "Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall" on piano. The first six notes identical....temp score-itis?).

The box set was first. The Silva Potter album was only released recently - and my question was if the recording from the box appears on the Silva album too, or does it contain only different recordings...

They got the 2 samples mixed up. You want the one right below it.

Well... I thought that the sample from 'Girl with a pearl earring' sounded a lot like Pirates...

I think its the same recording.

I finally heard the suite when I bought the aforementioned HP Album by Silva. It's an all-right arrangement, and their performance of Buckbeak provides an interesting alternative to the original (it's more legato, making it sound a tad more dramatic and rich). What I'd really love to have now is the enigmatic PoA version of Harry's Wondrous World.

It was never even recorded, was it? I thought it existed on paper, but in the end they decided they didn't need the Harry's Wondrous World cue for PoA, and the cut and paste job, that is currently in the movie and album, is the replacement.

But wouldn't it essentially be rehash anyway, because it's Harry's Wondrous world? At least Michief Managed is recycled from the same album, not the previous two movies.

Added to that, considering none of the themes from that suite make an appearence in PoA, it would seem a little jarring to hear them blended with the new ones on the end credits (even if it was nice continuity).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was played at a concert, but never recorded. I believe Wael/ocelot told us that it was originally intended for the end credits of PoA, but was eventually scrapped. Shame.

The PoA version of Harry's Wondrous world was played at a Hollywood Bowl concert in 2004,but that night no one recorded it.The next day Williams played the regular HWW.I'd like to hear a better description of it if anyone who was at the concert remembers it.Was the melody changed?,or was it just an insert of Double Troube or some other PoA theme somewhere in the piece?

 I believe Wael/ocelot told us that it was originally intended for the end credits of PoA, but was eventually scrapped.

At the time,that kind of statement made me believe ocelot/wael heard the complete recording sessions of PoA ...

But who says that the PoA version of HWW couldn't start out with the opening section of the Double Trouble theme from the end credits? I figured that the new HWW wouldn't contain any of the old themes, but be a similar suite, in structure, as the old one. Again, only in structure, but would have all the new themes.

To me, the phrase "Harry's Wondrous World" is just a summation of all the themes in, well....Harry's world, and is only specific to that film, and to those particular themes used in that film. It would be something that changes with each passing phase.

I could see your point if the suite in CoS was different, but as it was...

(I know that the circumstances surrounding that score and Williams are vague at best, but you get the point)
