I'm so late to the game and just came across your channel. These are fantastic. I actually never realized the half-step modulation. I "felt" but never consciously realized.

This is my favorite part of the music by Johnny Williams for the movies, easily. Gifted composer and conductor.

I would've loved to see the two cymbal solo notes in the last bars noted - they add so much character to the end! Otherwise, incredible video. You do fantastic work!

You’ve GOTTA do The Asteroid Field from this movie. It’s so interesting to hear, even if it would be hard to break down.

Alright, look at the beginning of the song and look on the left, there is a 4/4 for time, that means that there are four beats, and a quarter note has the beat, bounce your foot on the floor to keep time

@MePeterNicholls 6 жыл бұрын

I'm reminded of a time (can't recall if it was in brass band or orchestra) but the piece we we're practicing had similar overtones, so we Trombones all decided that when cued we'd play the main theme from Imperial March. It took a good ten minutes for everyone else to recover from laughing. Ah brass player horsing around.

@typo1345 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah. In Jazz band, we had to do solos, and I began playing the main ques of the imperial march on piano, everyone got a kick out of that

I have a question. In 73 bars, Harp is actually playing C# in gliss, and woodwinds are not playing C natural or C#. Why? Check out the score.

Shame I had to disturb the 666th like. Kinda ruins the spirit of the music. Watching this feels like I've seen the internal workings of a divine will as if it was not safe to expose mere mortals to this level of genius.
