MSM 126 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 My friend, I thank you a thousand times! You have convinced me big time! A few questions:1) Please could you post a complete list of works which you have used here? (and which cues are the JW cues you link them to, I don't recognize all the 'bootleg' tracks names)2) Could you give me the exact recording information for the Walton tracks? Orchestra's, performers, labels, catalog no.s)3) How do you make such a really nice vids? Maybe I could give it a try for Prokofiev or Korngold Would be a nice idea to make these underscoring the original movie scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I can only see the connection in that both composers write (wrote) great music.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 This video totally failed in it's mission. The only comparison I can find is a similar (but not the same) style of orchestration between the two composers. Other than that there's absolutely nothing to suggest an influence.

Eric_JWFAN 11 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 My friend, I thank you a thousand times! You have convinced me big time! A few questions:1) Please could you post a complete list of works which you have used here? (and which cues are the JW cues you link them to, I don't recognize all the 'bootleg' tracks names)I found every excerpt from these five pieces: Partita for Orchestra, Crown Imperial March, Symphony #2, Anniversary March, and his ballet The Quest. The cue names I did myself because I wanted to give a visual of the movie it most sounds like or at least some kind of visual reference if I didn't think it sounded like a particular movie..2) Could you give me the exact recording information for the Walton tracks? Orchestra's, performers, labels, catalog no.s)I got everything from 3 collections:Sir William Walton, The Complete Works (Chandos)Ashkenazy in Moscow 2: The English Works, Vladimir Askenazy conducting London Philharmonic (MCA)Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, Leonard Bernstein conducting London Philaharmonic (RCA Victor)*edit: Oh yeah the very first thing you hear is Hook: The Arrival of Tink. I used that because it ihas the most colorful and vibrant orchestrations and there were more Hook references than anything.3) How do you make such a really nice vids? Maybe I could give it a try for Prokofiev or Korngold Would be a nice idea to make these underscoring the original movie scenes I just did it on Apple Final Cut with LiveType. I thought about incorporating the video as well, but it wouldn't allow me to rip most of the DVDs as they are copy protected.Thanks for the compliments.This video totally failed in it's mission. The only comparison I can find is a similar (but not the same) style of orchestration between the two composers. Other than that there's absolutely nothing to suggest an influence.Did you read the title at the beginning? Orchestration was the focus of the comparison.

pi 0 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Yes JW copies also.Eric I was wondering why you didn't play the Firebird after the opening Hook Music. perhaps that is for the Stravinsky copying video?I only have a few Walton Scores, where do you get those?

Orchestration was the focus of the comparison.The Arrival of Tink I surely recognized You did a great job in titling the excerpts. The other replyers clearly haven't understood the purpose of your vid. Orchestrationwise Walton is extremely Williams alike, judging from these excerpts. I must admit I was only familiar with some of Walton's works, which actually didn't compare that much to Williams' work.Is it possible for you to post or pm me per track from which work the tracks have been taken?Could you comment on Walton's Symphony no.1? Is it in the same style as the 2nd or different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 When I first got the score The Battle Of Britain that features Walton's rejected score I noticed his influence over Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_JWFAN 11 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well I learned a lesson. Never post anything on Vimeo that you spent a lot of time on.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 How DARE you suggest that Williams was inspired by anyone! Williams grew up in a bubble of creativity. He has never heard music by anyone else! Everything he writes is PURE WILLIAMS!!! _deleted_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

222max 1 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Heretic! Take him to the Town Square. The stoning will begin in 1 half hour. But seriously. Great work. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. There are clear similarities. Whether Williams consciously took this as influence remains to be seen but I can easily confuse a lot of Walton's music for Williams. No one, no matter who they are, can claim to be without influence. Williams is no exception. I'm sure that he has and will freely state them himself. He's a man of integrity. I just wish more people (his fans) were open to the idea that he has been influenced by others and that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
