OT/PT Music

😉

As long as its AAD and has some of the themes from the prequals interwoven and some genuinely new music i'll be satisfied. doesn't anyone else think its cool that anakin's theme is a major mode variation of the imperial march or that the horrid parade that ends episode 1 is the same kind of variation of Palpatine's theme?

that parade sound nothing like palpatine's theme, who on earth said that? If its williams than i think it meds time for the old guy. Anakin's theme has been horribly underused. Its a really great piece of music and its really only in one movie. I love how the last 15 secs or so is a REALLY slow imperial march.

listen to the kids choir, that motif they sing is a relative major transposition of palpatine's theme, we spent 20 minutes in music theory discussing that

i got teary when i realized that darths theme was interwovin into anakins

dude, not even...

not you Mind, i was talking to Jello, just so you know

i think your music teacher was a little short on lessons that week. maybe because its William's STYLE he would tend to use similar arangements, but other than that I think you prof is reading to much into it.

please don't make me break it down interval by interval to prove my point

the intervels? well lets see...

the beginning of the emperors theme with the mens choir singing is a perfect 1st to a minor second then back to perfect 1, followed by a p1-m2-m4

looking at the parade: perfect 1st M2 p1 p1 M2 M4

it is the same intervels except in a major key..
so you were right jello to a degree...but why would williams put that at the end of Ep1? was it to show that palpatines plan is going as planned?

aslo- has anyone else notice that the 'flag parade' in the podrace is a variation of jabbas theme?

i think you're all mistaking Williams "style" (which lets admit, can be repetitive, still better than others, but still repetitive) for some sort of in-joke or foretelling. All of his themes are similar, Superman sounds like Star Wars, whole rifts from ROJ are in slower scenes of the Lost World. It's just style.

what williams is doing is asking the viewer, "who is this really a victory for?"
