The Music Tavern

I love the Imperial March JW recorded with the Vienna Philharmonic a few years ago. He said that he originally did not include it in the program, but the folks (in the brass section IIRC) in Vienna asked if they could please play it.

Also, I am too lazy to embed a link here.

 

I completely spaced replying to these posts!

 

*knock knock*

Anyone in the Tavern lately?


// listening to Pearl Jam "Running" //

 

I am here now. How are you?

 

Gonna have to play some Rogue One music as the peak eclipse is approaching here in about half an hour. It's only going to be about 85% of totality though.

 

This guy's music needs to be worked into Star Wars projects somehow.
Help us, Ludwig, you're our only hope to recruit and collaborate with Eddie.
I can imagine an entire album with Luleo Primoc.


I like the comment section for this one:

I’m here too. What shall we discuss?

does the music in Olga’s cantina count for Star Wars music in depth?

I can’t play a musical instrument…but! I own a nice keyboard and can play the theme to jaws. The shark theme and the end credits.

I’m better at the end credits.

 

Well actually, you could stop by and see if @Dandelo would interview ya. It is a neat experience.

My town is an infrequent parade town, and they all go right past my building. A couple hours ago, I could hear them approaching in the distance, but the instant I could make out what tune they were playing, they struck up the Star Wars main theme, followed by the Imperial March, which faded just as they went out of earshot.

 

You should've chased after them

 

Knowing my luck, they'd have segued to a theme from a franchise I hate by the time I'd gotten my boots on.

Happy Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary to all celebrating!

 

I don't think I'd want that WITHOUT the choir. Kinda makes the piece so special!

 

I've been revisiting the Harry Potter world films recently. And my goodness, did I underestimate the Maestro. There are so many gems in these scores that I just never noticed. His motifs are so good, in fact, that even when another composer quotes them, the scene is magnified just that much.

"The Quidditch Match" is probably my favorite piece of JW from the series.

 

Yeah the HP scores are gold. Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite.

 

The JW soundtracks are memorable but OOTP is my favorite

 

I’m cheating on John Williams with Jerry Goldsmith. Sshhhhh. Don’t tell him.

James Earl Jones, 1931 - 2024

 

One of my favorite pieces of JW



It would be blasphemous to say it literally represents the power of God, but boy is it the closest human illustration of the concept I've seen.
