Keyan Farlander Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Yes. We have established through lengthy philosophical discussion that Beethoven was, in fact, an objectively better composer than Mozart. We have submitted a paper to that effect, in all of our names, for publication. We put your name on there too, so if someone asks you about it, I hope you have some good answers prepared.

Jem Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I have found confirmation in this website that it is indeed Tschaykovski's music that is played in Loom: Loom's original musical tracks (which are wonderful in their own right) are accompanied with perfect executions of Tschaykovski's famous Swan's Lake Conclusion: Tschaykovsi RULEZ! Loom also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Farlander Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Originally posted by Nute Gunray tchaikovsky is superior. scratch my name off the paper, if it was there. better re-cloak Tchaikovsky wrote some fine concertos (violin and piano No. 1, to be specific). In fact, those pieces are largly responsible for my love of classical music. So, I'll always have a place in my heart for old Tchaikovsky. However, compared to Beethoven and Mozart (not to mention Bach and Handel), his music is uninspired crapola. He could never reach the depths of profound composition that these men did. His operas suck and his symphonies are a joke. The 1812 Overture is interesting for about 12 seconds. He did write some nice ballet music, however, and a few of his solo piano pieces are nice.

edlib Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Stravinski and Holst for me, please. Interesting note: All movies are created with a temp track of music during the creation and editing phases. The music is chosen by the director to give a rough outline of the mood he wishes to create with the music and is given to the composer as a guide to tempo, orchestration, and color that is to be used in the final original score. The original Star Wars (ANH) score was inspired by a temp soundtrack of pieces by all these composers already described. Since Lucas wanted a big, dramatic orchestral score he went with Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Stravinski, and the rest as inspiration during editing. John Williams then attemped to create an original score that captured the flavor of each of those pieces. You can, if you listen carefully, pick out which composer inspired the soundtrack in each scene (and occasionally even the piece by that composer.) Williams was careful to replicate the instrumentation in each of the pieces used. Occasionaly, you can pick up quotes of the classical pieces as well. PS - IMHO Williams best score has always been the "Close Encounters" one. It's his most edgy work ever. Very dissonant and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I've always said that a couple of themes from Star Wars (Force, Han and Leia's) sound suspiciously like the second movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major. I wonder if this piece was actually used in the temp track or if it is mearly a coincidence. EDIT - Now that I think about it, the first movement too.

edlib Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I wouldn't doubt it, although I've never seen a list of the pieces used in the temp track he was one of the composers mentioned. A friend and I tried to pick out all the pieces we thought inspired the score once. I don't think that was one of the ones we came up with, but I'm not really familiar with that piece.

Jem Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I think my favourite composer would be Nobuo Uematsu, his orchestral and piano work on the Final Fantasy 6 (FF3 in US) music is just sublime, I've got all of'em and my favourites are: _Grand Finale (the Opera scene, 23 minutes of musical perfection) _War of the Magi (the Okarina rules in this piece) _Kefka's theme (I like the evilish and sinister atmosphere it has) _Ending Theme (all orchestrated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
