Trent Hoyt 13 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 On the main page:According to the Boston Symphony Hall, via one of our forum members, John Williams plans to include music from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as part of the 'Film Night' concerts in Boston (May 20-24, 2008). The program also features music from Jaws, Star Wars and the 'Harry Potter Grande Suite' narrated by Lynn Redgrave.
indy4 159 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Man, this is awesome (if I were going)! Nice idea, odnurega1! I think I'll try to avoid any samples, however, until after I'm familiarized with the OST.
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 That's great for those attending! I'm still hoping he surprises us with it in Detroit though.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,079 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, they are performing Jaws!
King Mark 3,848 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Well,by May 20 the soundtrack will have been released,so we won't be scrambling for a bootleg recording...unless he wrote special not on the OST concert versions
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,079 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 There will probably be a big orchestral finish not included on the OST.
Ollie 1,307 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I remember when he premiered Yoda's Theme and The Imperial March with the Boston Pops in 1980. It was shown on PBS, I couldn't wait for that day and TV show to begin.
tpigeon 3 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 This is encouraging. That means that there's at least one theme from the movie that will have a concert suite that's not the Raiders March. Hopefully the score will boast many themes, but having at least one concert piece means that Williams may be back in thematic mode for this film. The Star Wars prequels showed that he was gradually moving away from character themes and motifs, as he opted to write more themes for set pieces and motifs based on locations rather than objects or characters. Hopefully Indy 4 will be a return to his 70's and 80's thematic style.Ted
oierem 207 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith each had at least one big concert suite.
tpigeon 3 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Yes I know. But I suppose my thinking here is that the kind of themes that Indiana Jones demands are somewhat different. Williams went for one big epic theme for each prequel rather than an assortment of character themes and setting motifs. I'm hoping he's not following his prequel pattern with this film and will be debuting a theme or two of a different variety.Ted
Ollie 1,307 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 TPM was closest to the original trilogy, it was much more thematic and had a few motifs. grnated half of the themes were from the original trilogy but it actually sounded like a Star Wars score.
King Mark 3,848 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 This is encouraging. That means that there's at least one theme from the movie that will have a concert suite that's not the Raiders March. Hopefully the score will boast many themesoh no,now I am sure there will be 10 wasted minutes on the albums by rerecordings of the Raiders march
King Mark 3,848 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Because i already have 50 versions of the Raiders march
Ollie 1,307 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 That's what you get for buying all those concert albums.
vmw331 2 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 That's great for those attending! I'm still hoping he surprises us with it in Detroit though.True that, my fellow Michigander!!
Trent Hoyt 13 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 I am seeing him the two days before the movie comes out. Whose jealous?
John Crichton 4 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I am seeing him the two days before the movie comes out. Whose jealous?Well the CD should be out by then, so that's not so bad.
Morlock 11 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Because i already have 50 versions of the Raiders march My question was...why do you think there's be 10 minutes of The Raiders march on the album?
MrScratch 296 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I remember when he premiered Yoda's Theme and The Imperial March with the Boston Pops in 1980. It was shown on PBS, I couldn't wait for that day and TV show to begin.So he'd forgotten about "Han Solo and the Princess" even then, right after the movie came out.
Hlao-roo 390 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I remember when he premiered Yoda's Theme and The Imperial March with the Boston Pops in 1980. It was shown on PBS, I couldn't wait for that day and TV show to begin.So he'd forgotten about "Han Solo and the Princess" even then, right after the movie came out.Yes, at that point the cover-up had already begun. Word is that aides as high up as Wannberg and Spencer were implicated. The question is: what did the composer know and when did he forget it?
Luke Skywalker 2,223 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Because i already have 50 versions of the Raiders march My question was...why do you think there's be 10 minutes of The Raiders march on the album?Listen to the other 3 OSTsRaiders march end credits is already about 6 minutes in each.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,079 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I wonder if Han Solo and The Princess was even completely finished during the films scoring or that it was done after the fact.

Desplat13 1 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I might be going to the Boston concert, but I am not sure. I might not be sure for a while. Does anyone know how fast these tickets go? How long do I have before I have to buy? I know the sooner the better, but I really con't commit yet. So, any help on how long before these things usually sell out?And I am beside myself at the idea of being there for the Indy 4 premiere.Colin Thomson
Foxfan 210 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Just to let you guys know the BSO has released some extra tickets for the Pops concerts. The ORCH Row A ($40 comparred to $87 for rows B and back) is now available on some of the Film Nights. You can be only inches away from Williams as I was last year!Choose ORCH 40.00 and you should see them if they are available. If not that section begins at row T.
Josh500 1,620 Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I might go too, but I don't know yet.Raiders March taking up 10 minutes is unlikely . . . it'd be more like 6 or 7 minutes! Although if the entire album has over 77 minutes, I wouldn't terribly mind! This new "Raiders March" recording seems to sound a little different, a little more fun . . .
odnurega1 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 So..now that we've been able to listen to the new score, which of the concert pieces from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (thats a long one to type!) do you think Williams will perform in Boston? I'm hoping for "The Adventures of Mutt" and "Call of the Crystal", although I do not think they will bring a continuum fingerboard into Symphony Hall.I might go too, but I don't know yet.You ever get tickets, Josh?
Josh500 1,620 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Nope, I'm not going. But I will watch it in theaters on May 22!
King Mark 3,848 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 So..now that we've been able to listen to the new score, which of the concert pieces from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (thats a long one to type!) do you think Williams will perform in Boston?

FattyMcButterpants 1 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Would it be inpolite to boo after the Indy 4 material? Just kidding, given there's some dissapointment.
Treatyman 0 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 im pretty sure tickets are completely sold out. im sad now i really wanted to go=(. and theres a concert at tanglewood on the 26 and all the decent seats are sold out.
odnurega1 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Anyone else getting excited? I am! Sadly, I have a sinus infection, but hopefully it'll get better soon. Ugh. I haven't gotten sick in so long and now that I am flying to Boston tomorrow, I get sick. No matter, I am seeing JW perform!
Desplat13 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I won't be able to make it. So very sad. Oh well...Sometime else, I guess.
odnurega1 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Yes... First time I'll see Williams in person!What night will you be going?
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I'm tellin' ya, I suck at staying away this time. Must... dodge... Indy threads...But I had to check in here, because I'm gonna be going to Boston for one of the concerts this week. Watching KOTCS here at midnight Wednesday/Thursday, then hop on a plane a few hours later, get there Thursday afternoon, go to the concert Friday night, then outta there the next day. This too will be my first time seeing Williams, so I'm really excited!Any other Friday goers?
Henry B 51 Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Yes... First time I'll see Williams in person!What night will you be going? Thursday.
