robthehand 3 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I know they are available as re-recordings, but were the following concert arrangements recorded at the time the score was recorded (I know they've never been released):- The Little People- Here They Come! (Concert Version)- Throne Room and Finale (Concert Version)- Han Solo and the Princess (Concert Version)- The Asteroid Field (Concert Version)- Jabba the Hutt- The Flag Parade (Concert Version)And are/were there concert versions of anything like "Qui-Gon's Theme" or "The Emperor's Theme"?

Lurker 5 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Jabba the HuttYes. Half of it was released on the original Jedi album and on the anthology. The full recording is lost.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 49 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 And are/were there concert versions of anything like "Qui-Gon's Theme" or "The Emperor's Theme"?No. Here's the full list of concert suites for Star Wars (thanks Neil). I've attached some short descriptions.Star Wars - Main Title- Main Title + End Title, pretty much.Princess Leia's Theme- As heard on all the original Star Wars releases, and adapted for the Sith end credits.The Little People Work- Combination of "The Little People Work," "The Moisture Farm," and an extended ending.Cantina Band- An orchestral version.Here They Come!"Here They Come!" or "TIE Fighter Attack" with added flourishes at the beginning and end.The Final Battle- I'm not familiar with this one. Anybody?The Throne Room and End Title- The extended version of "The Throne Room" which we know from RotS. This includes the entire end credits segment, rather than just the end of it that RotS segued to with the timpani roll. This concert piece is the origin of the supposed RotJ end credits finale.The Imperial March- Self-explanatory.The Asteroid Field- An alteration of "The Asteroid Field" that removes the Imperial March and the love theme, with additional sections written to replace them.Yoda's Theme- As heard on the Empire albums.Han Solo and the Princess- A concert piece loosely based on the cue of the same name. Includes Leia's theme.Parade of the Ewoks- There is a version of this that differs from the original recording, in that there are some fanfares added to the beginning.Luke and Leia- On album.Jabba the Hutt- Recorded for RotJ, but never fully released.The Flag Parade- An expansion of the film's cue.Duel of the Fates- Not technically a concert piece, as it was written for the end credits of TPM, not as a standalone piece, but it has been treated as such. Also, there are two variations on this, a shorter version with alternate orchestration, and one without choir (simply the same piece without the choral recording overdubbed). The one with alternate orchestration is perhaps a cue intended for use in the film from which the "concert" piece was derived.Anakin's Theme- Also written for the end credits of TPM, but it's basically a concert piece.The Adventures of Jar Jar- Combination of "Return to Naboo," "Introducing Jar Jar," "Anakin's Home and the Introduction to Threepio," and "Kids at Play." A few changes in orchestration, but basically cut and paste.Across the Stars- On album.Battle of the Heroes- On album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 317 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I've been wondering with the Boston Pops releasing the Star Wars Saga CD next year, I wonder if it will have the instramental version for Duel Of The Fates, or if it might be with the choir too...?
