Luke Skywalker 1,941 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yay!Williams will write a great new cue that we wont have for years... or never if the sound mixing-synth augmenting people destroy it by error.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,424 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If John Williams dies before he gets a chance tos tart scoring SW7, atleast Gia can use this trailer cue as a basis for his score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,282 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 In all fairness, the HP:SS OST includes a decent amount of music written for things other than the film itself. There's an original cue he wrote for a TV commercial ("Hedwig Tries a Coke") and 3.5 pieces from the Children's Suite ("Hedwig's Theme"/"Prologue", "Fluffy and His Harp", "Hogwarts Forever", and half of "Diagon Alley").Then there's Hook, which starts the OST right off with the trailer music...So who knows!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,424 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 We should be a betting poll. How much new and original music will be midding from the OST.I put 20 euro's on 35-40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,931 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There will be no missing music. The album will be a robust 36 minutes, which is all the music that will be recorded.

King Mark 3,729 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think JW writes themes all the time in his head and jolts them down when he comes back from his walks.He has several drawers for future use:-Star Wars-Indiana Jones-Random fantasy/sci-fi movie-Random Spielberg historical dramasThat's why he never runs out of themes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,583 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Regardless of whether that was the only copy, they obviously were able to get the music into the teaser. So it must exist as a digital file. We just have to hope that tracking it down is a priority for whoever puts together the eventual expanded release, since it would be an easy thing to overlook.

Balahkay 629 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 If this is really specifically for a teaser, I'm very curious to find out what Williams plans to do. Surely, we'll hear a rendition of force theme. Overall, I'm guessing the music will sound more like the PT than the OT. I'm sure I'll love it regardless.

I think this whole film will have a throw back feel, including the score. Later episodes might be get further away from the OT sound, but this will be the closest.

I think this whole film will have a throw back feel, including the score. Later episodes might be get further away from the OT sound, but this will be the closest.It will be a tough job to capture the OT feel in the music as it was something most fans expected already from the Prequels and Williams succeeded with varying results on that regard. I would be surprised (happily) if JW can truly channel that spirit and style into the new score and re-capture that elusive creative lightning. Then again I am always happy when he explores new territory so it is a win-win situation for me. Meaning I'll keep my expectations in check and not try to formulate in my mind some kind of impossible standard to which JW would have to aspire with this new music.

Balahkay 629 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Based on the concept art, it seems like they're going for a balance between the PT and OT... visually, I mean. I'm guessing the film will be temped with music from both the OT and PT. At the very least, I just hope Williams will have the opportunity to score moments like this, which, sadly, weren't present in the PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 10,458 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Sorry, everyone, but...so what? I've long gone past the stage when I cream my jeans over a new score, even one by JW. I'll buy it next December, and decide then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there is one composer who still can do the old "hummable themes and variations" then it is surely John Williams the "Mr. Leitmotif" himself!

King Mark 3,729 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 No, Tintin is not a good example and I hope Ep7 doesn't sound like that.. It's one of the few Williams adventure scores that lacks developed themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 629 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 You're right, but I meant in regards to "hummable and memorable themes" when compared to his golden era work. Tintin arguably lacks those kinds of themes, save one or two. In any case, Tintin is my favorite of Williams' 2010 output regardless of its hummabilty.

Incanus 5,816 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 At least we'll get the Force Theme again and Luke's theme as well. Perhaps Han Solo and the Princess too, which of course is DEFINITELY not a love theme or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 5,142 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I wonder how Williams will approach the trailer. if he has not spotted the film in any way, it would be doubtful that he has new themes sketched. But obviously, to use just the old themes would seemingly be unnecessary, as they could have just tracked such music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,593 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Can't wait to see the trailer, and hear the music in it!LucasFilm should do the right thing and make the trailer cue available as a free legal download on StarWars.com. Or sell it on iTunes for $1.29 or whatever. Either would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
