Author	Topic: Battle Of The Heroes vs. Duel Of The Fates

	Anakin vs. Obi-Wan is one of the best tracks in the entire saga, IMO. BotH plus Clash of Lightsabers? Pure awesomeness. Yeah, that's really all I have to say. I still like DotF better than BotH. And putting together an Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, DotF, BotH sequence, so that it's more or less the way it is in the movie, is pretty cool, too. -----signature----- Knowledge is power; power corrupts.

	Can't really choose between the two, love them both. When I heard BotH start up during the duel in RotS, I got chills up my spine. But then I get that for DotF too. And putting together an Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, DotF, BotH sequence, so that it's more or less the way it is in the movie, is pretty cool, too. Yep, after seeing RotS, every time I listened to Anakin vs. Obi-Wan at the end of the track I kept expecting to hear DotF start and it made the end of the track really abrupt... so I've edited in DotF at the end now and it sounds awesome... -----signature----- jinke sar ho ishq ki chanh chale chaiyya chale chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya...

	I've said this before elsewhere, i really LOVE the way BOTH blends in from the music before it on the A new hope and End credits track. DOTF still my favorite... -----signature----- 2009 - Star Wars TV series! United till I Die

	Easily Battle of the Heroes and its counterpart "Anakin and Obi-Wan". The entire ROTS Soundtrack, for that matter, is arguably the most moving SW music Williams has ever created. That being said, I'm still a sucker for that simple Imperial March... ROTS + Empire: Best SW movies!! -----signature----- "Execute Order 66..." "Every single Jedi is now an enemy of the Republic..."

	DOTF for me. And it's 42-42! -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" Don't you know about the bird? Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

	not anymore! heh heh heh. I actually called my local classical music station the day DotF was released and asked them to play it. Surprisingly, they did! at the time, I was blown away by it and I still love its dramatic buildups and dropoffs, as well as the sanskrit chorus. But I now think BotH is even more exciting and artful than DotF. It has all the hallmarks of John Williams' music, which have all naturally become hallmarks of Star Wars music - a low, roiling texture of strings with long horn melodies and high brass punctuations. And of course the chorus is epic. All that is fairly common between duel of the fates and battle of the heroes, however. I chose battle of the heroes because I think the melody is better resolved and more fulfilling, while not sacrificing any of the epic or grandiose feel of the music. the melody of Duel of the fates definitely leaves listeners hanging - not much resolution melodically or harmonically. that is of course its purpose, but battle of the heroes is able to keep up your adrenaline while outperforming duel of the fates as a stand-alone piece. simply my opinion. buckAWWW! -----signature----- harrumph

	Well, I just came back from the Star Wars concert held here in Toronto, and after hearing both DOTF and BOTH live in concert, I must say that DOTF is a superior and much more riveting composition. BOTH lacks the epic feel of DOTF, and DOTF's quicker tempo helps heighten the tension the piece emulates. -----signature----- Wipe out the trolls. All of them. Official Fleet Junkie

	President_Sharky posted: BOTH lacks the epic feel of DOTF. Err... how so? If anything, IMO, BOTH conveys a more epic and grand feeling of adventure then DOTF does. I don't know, may be I need to listen to the two themes back-to-back more often?

	I'm going with Battle of the Heroes. I love Duel of the Fates, and it's a close call... but Battle of the Heroes wins out. -----signature----- I steal candy from babies to prevent childhood obesity.

	Battle of the Heroes, without a doubt. It's way more emotional for me, because of where it's used and how it's arranged. Something about it ties the whole Saga together. One of the best themes ever written! Well, then you are lost! /LM
