Adore this suite. I love the orchestration, especially the change at 02:04 and after, where you get a varied version of the theme distantly, as a kind of phantom. Then the French Horns come in, with the original idea occurring in the background, bubbling around the edges. *kisses fingers like a chef*
"The Chamber of Secrets" is one of the most colorful of his concert arrangements in my opinion. You get a lot of classic Williams'-isms in one piece. 9:48 His eerie sliding harmonic gliss textures for villains and tense scenes (Home Alone) 10:10 The classic, insistent, twisting and turning legato string lines played across all octaves (Star Wars Prequals) 11:25 Fast-paced brass rhythms under high, sustained string melodic figures (The NBC "Mission" Theme)
The orchestration shown above is not quite the same as the recording you hear, there are various synth harps and other synths layered. Also the celeste is a synth celeste.
@@thegoodgeneral no, this is a score for live performances where synthesizers are not used. Instead one uses a real celeste, a real piano, and a real harp. Sometimes, orchestras also use 2 harps
@@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm9890 orchestras don’t always have working celestes, or halls they tour to don’t, so they sometimes sub in synth celestes and also synths for pianos. I appreciate you trying to educate people but I’ve been writing for orchestras for 20 years.
@@TB1M1 yes, the concert arrangements are a bit simplified at times, but usually over 90% accurate. You’ll also have things like… for HP they used 6 to 8 horns depending on the day, for trumpets they frequently blend Bbs with Cs and Ebs, some bars are removed (this one is frustrating), orchestration is sometimes thinned out due to fewer players or its overly dense for halls, etc.
Yeah pretty cool. Gives the Suite more coherence. Same with the beginning of all the Pieces except the Lockhart one. They all begin with these kind of pulsating Chords.
dude, your videos are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much for posting them
The cello phrase at 9:40 is John Williams' brilliance summarized

Very precise, but he only uses the 2nd very often. Also there are many more sides to him that are not included in the piece
I love that Gilderoy Lockhart's theme is marked "Pomposo" and labeled as a comical march, hahaha
I miss playing this in Jr high. Well now we get Disney soundtracks. SO I MIGHT PLAY IT AGAIN AND ON FIRST PART YAAAAAYYY
Just good I glad
0:24
a little similarity with "Across the Stars"
Wow🎶🎧🎵😮😍😍
Very late comment but "Gilderoy Lockhart" sounds like it's been pitched up
7:09 what is the point of writing a pause for the triangle and also writing “let ring”?
That's how percussion is written when the player shouldn't stop the note.
Looks much better than writing a long note. It is also easier to see for those who read the score
imagine being the 3rd Clarinet on this. having to switch between Bb Clarinet, Eb Clarinet, and Bass Clarinet. oof
Hahaha that would be me
I would love that!
Oof imagine that you are requested to arrange this 4 songs 😅

Well. Celeste or synth Celeste. Who cares? Would you publish a score that says synth Celeste?
@@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm9890 some orchestral pieces feature synths, so yes.

Is it posible to have the score?
Yes, you can buy it right here: www.halleonard.com/product/4490266/
Please answer me too, because I need this score very much!
Can you share pdf with us?
Please, how can I get these sheets? Please, I need it, even for money
I hate playing clarinet on the last movement
almost always ends with a pizz. doesn't it?
