Author	Topic: Which film has your favorite finale/end credits?

	jadailyTCU posted: Does the Gerhardt CD have the same arrangement as the Prague CD? I have the latter, and I love the arrangement on it. I especially love how Leia's Theme is quoted, seeming to come in out of nowhere (a frequent quality of that theme that I love; see how it just comes in out of nowhere in Yoda's Death and in the ROTS finale and end credits), then the key changes and you hear her theme again. I'm just wondering if the other CD has the same or a different arrangement. I'm not really qualified to answer this question since I have never heard the Prague CD (can anyone provide the full name and catalogue number of this item, please? ). Gerhardt's version of Han Solo and Princess starts the same way as the music used for the scene where Han and Leia share their first kiss. About 1:40 into the track the music plays the love theme in different ways which sounds similar to how the theme is used in several scenes. Then Leia's theme suddenly appears at 2:30 into the track. After that comes a fullblown statement of the love theme. The track ends with a softer statement of the love theme. -----signature----- When in doubt, go to the library.

	From the description, it sounds like it's the same. Tough to say, though. -----signature----- Knowledge is power; power corrupts. Therefore, knowledge corrupts. Ignorance is bliss.

	It's the same arrangement. Gerhardt blows any other recording out of the water though.... ttBk -----signature----- "Foreshadowing with a sledgehammer....."

	Empire for me, I would have to say. I love how the three themes were arranged at the end of the score. ROTS is a close second, with Leia and Luke's themes before the end credits.

	I was just thinking about this yesterday! Remarkably, I can't stop rewinding and replaying the finale of ESB credits that were used for the TPM trailers! I love that! BUM BAM! (pause/cymbol) BUM BAM!(pause/cymbol) BUM BAM!(pause/cymbol) BUM BUUUM!(pause/cymbol) BAAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PAUSE) BBAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM End.

	I just have to say AotC, if only for the last minute or so. The way the emotions are shown musically, absolutely perfect. It's foreshadowing Episode III, which is exactly what I wanted to hear. I tear up nearly every time. And while annoying if you're listening in a car or someplace noisy, I really do like how soft it is, how you sort of have to strain to hear it at the very end. -----signature----- CHEAP SLIT!!

	ESB is the tightest, but ROTS is a masterpiece. -----signature----- Obi-Wan never told you what happended to your father...

	But most of the RotS end credits were composed thirty years ago, and the LSO stumbles through an awkwardly down-tempo "iris out" and sleepwalks through the familiar "Throne Room" finale. Only Leia's theme do they play competently. There's a good transition between Leia's theme and Battle of the Heroes, but what else did Williams actually write?

	I realise that only 40% of ROTS finale and end credits is new, and even with the LSO not quite nailing Throne Room, it is the sentimental value that makes it number one. I was really happy that John decided to do a big ANH tribute, because it makes the most sense in the context of the entire musical saga. (Most people were expecitng DOTF or IM, but although they sound cool, they don't make musical sense there.) -----signature----- Obi-Wan never told you what happended to your father...

	Of course they do. RotS is the middle film, not the big finale film with a tribute to the "original," ANH. Right?

	I was actually expecting the ROTS end credits to feature new arrangements of the Imperial March, Emperor's Theme, DOTF, possibly the ANH Imperial Theme, and/or the new theme (BOTH). Or all of the above. Now that would have been awesome. I mean, the Sith won this one, didn't they?

	Well, it looks like Williams was thinking what would make sense in real world chronology, not GFFA chronology. It comes down to which one you think is more important. -----signature----- Obi-Wan never told you what happended to your father...
