    2:29 made me become a trumpet player

      The main theme and the Journey to the Island part from Jurassic park made me become a trumpet player. Now I can play those but I've never tried 2:29 but I could play it so I might try.

    I love how occasionally William's just completely disregards the key and plays major chords to accompany the melody. Those parts are always amazing.

    I love how at 2:29 and later at 2:35 and 2:44, then lastly at 3:29, the music is near perfectly aligned with the falcon leaving the shot and the TIE fighters exploding. It leaves you with a POW sensation and it enhances the visuals as well as they are perfectly timed. I encourage anyone to click on my time stamps, you can really feel the music as you see the visuals aligning with the music and it’s pretty amazing.

      Yeah, I like it too and was going to say something about that part. It sounds a bit like Star Trek music, Jerry Goldsmith, and even Michael Giacchino now that I think of it, and it's quite reminiscent of Danny Elfman's music and style as well, at least to me, it's the first thing that came to my mind when hearing it.

    Thoroughly inspired by Prokofiev. Love it.

      Actually, you can play this as an extended scene where Peter catches the Wolf. Including the bird flying around the wolf's head.

  • @edbuller4435
    @edbuller4435 6 лет назад +3

    wonderful. It might help to think of the passage from 1.03 to 1.25 as in the key of G hungarian Minor. This also explains the triads.

  • @mixalistsagaris6840
    @mixalistsagaris6840 6 лет назад +10

    There must be an error at 2:36. The second A flat of the melody should have been G, I think. Nevertheless, you' ve done an amazing job...

    • @DavidMcCaulley
      @DavidMcCaulley  6 лет назад +5

      Yeah, I think there were several discrepancies between the score and the final mix. But thanks for the feedback!

  • @octoberphoenix
    @octoberphoenix 6 лет назад +5

    Great upload, but what's happening at 0:41? The audio jumps forward and seems to miss a bar (or two) from the actual original recording.

    • @DavidMcCaulley
      @DavidMcCaulley  6 лет назад +10

      This is due to some last minute editing by George Lucas. The original recording had to be cut in order to fit the movie. (This happens A LOT in films).

      Sure, but it will have to be in sketch form since the only version available is the sketch.

    Please tell me you used some sort of reference score and did not catch all this musical material by ear. I thought your analysis was excellently done. Thank you for sharing.

      Yes, I have the written score for this. Doing this by ear would be next to impossible.

    the tritone is the imperial fanfare from Ep. IV, not just a sci fi harmonic movement. Misanalyzed
