Composers Exist on an Axis
Actually, they exist on two.
On a scale of Michael "this superhero movie could be a children's birthday party" Giacchino to Lorne "this exciting action sequence needs a funeral dirge" Balfe, how much fun is your film composition?

I've recently been reading the hunger games trilogy and listening to the soundtracks and it blows my mind that the intro music to "Remind Her Who The Enemy Is" corolates to the same track on The hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes titled "Coryo in the Capital" and it just gives me absolute CHILLS
And not to also mention that at the end of "Remind Her Who The Enemy is" it fades out with Katniss' theme....
🔥😭‼️JAMES NEWTON HOWARD, YOU BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT MAN ‼️😭🔥
I've been listening to all the Hunger Games scores recently and going insane over the ways JNH reuses themes. Like, on the surface, what the heck do these two moments have in common? Is he just copy and pasting catchy bits of score from one project to the other? But you KNOW he's way too good to be doing that, so it's got me thinking.
Like, I can't remember exactly what's happening during the "Remind Her" motif in MJ, but I think it's when she first comes to District 13, in which case we have the parallels between her and Coryo coming into places that are fairly new and intimidating to them. OR it could draw a parallel between how Coryo is going to build up the Capitol into his own personal weapon just like Katniss is going to essentially wield all the power and arsenal of District 13. OR it could indicate how they're both coming into places that will eventually make them fully realize what atrocities people are willing to commit against their enemies.
OR I could be crazy!
Can we take a moment to talk about how GREAT the score for Sunrise on the Reaping is going to be? The Hunger Games score has a special place in my heart, and James Newton Howard is going to make us all an emotional wreck once again.
HEY HEY I need someone to talk about how great Michael Giacchino's Silver Surfer theme is. Can you talk about how great Michael Giacchino's Silver Surfer theme is with me? Because I really like Michael Giacchino's Silver Surfer theme and I fear that no one is talking about it, and as great as the main F4 theme is Michael Giacchino's Silver Surfer theme is a musical masterpiece of pathos and tension and tragedy that elevates and highlights the silver surfer's backstory and combines with joseph quinn and julia garner's performances to make the scene where he confronts her one of the most genuinely moving things i've ever seen in a marvel movie help Michael Giacchino's Silver Surfer theme has me held hostage want to come lay on the floor and listen to it with me like this?
(with barely contained psychosis)
Michael Giacchinno is going to have so many pun titles for his Fantastic Four soundtrack and to me, that’s the most exciting part of all this
Boy did you ever call it
And that's what we call character development.
Made a playlist called "Box of Chocolates" for medleys and end credits tracks

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 (2014) dir. Dean DeBlois
Score composed by John Powell
hi guys i need to be autistic about film scores for a second
so im rewatching mission impossible: rogue nation (for the third time in a week. don't mention it) and realized something about the non-diegetic music just before ethan goes into the opera: it features a flute. not just any flute, a bass flute!
this is most noticeable in the track starting right around the 3:40 mark. a few notes of the "mission impossible" theme is also played on bass flute at 4:40.
"now mav," you may be asking, "why do we care?" and to that i respond with two main reasons:
bass flute is a rare instrument to hear in film scores, mostly because it's a rare instrument in general. nearly every other time in the score when the typical mission impossible theme is played, it's introduced by your typical C flute, occasionally accompanied by piccolo trills. but this time, it's just one bar with a lone bass flute. why?
to answer the "why," it's highlighting joe kraemer's strike of genius in composing the score: he is using the instrument to foreshadow what comes next. the next scene shows a presumed musician getting his bass flute checked by security, and we later learn that there is a weapon hiding inside the flute (which, coming from a flute player, is a fantastic idea. nobody expects the bass flute!). by featuring the bass flute and having it play the mission impossible theme before we even see the plot-relevant bass flute in the film, we (the audience) are having something important alluded to us: this instrument is going to be relevant.
film composers love to do this; sprinkling blatant foreshadowing into their scores, telling the audience what's coming next in a way that the majority of viewers won't ever pick up. this is probably going to send me into yet another rewatch of the film where i try to find more silly little tidbits in the music.
anyways. that was a brief analysis of the importance of one singular instrument in a movie that came out a decade ago. thanks for letting me yap.
Me, thinking about the Jurassic Park score: oh yeah, it's good! Iconic for a reason. Classic.
Me, actually listening to the Jurassic Park score again:
Not me about to live tweet my first listen through of the T-bolts score
30 seconds into the score and I can already tell that I'm going to be obsessed. It's so unique and unexpected. Yelena doesn't know what she's doing and neither does the music and it's GREAT
When the score uses orchestral dissonance and harmony to reflect the team working against each other or with each other
WHEN THE HARMONY IS STILL VARIED AND ECLECTIC TO REFLECT HOW DIFFERENT ALL THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE TEAM ARE
THE CELLOS
I'm going to geek out about how the dominant cellos and tubas of the Thunderbolts/New Avengers are the 100% perfect and appropriate musical counterpoint to the OG Avengers' dominant violins and French horns
Lost in the sauce thinking about how It's Bucky! is basically just There's Something Wrong With Me, but with hope and purpose.
i am losing my mind
Son Lux also somehow retained the specific color of Lorne Balfe's Black Widow violins for Yelena. Thank you guys SO MUCH
*GASP*
"Yelena's Choice"??
A callback to Clint and Yelena's confrontation in Hawkeye where he talks about Vormir being Natasha's choice???
Not Alone should be so cliché!!! It's got the violins and the sadness and the build to an emotional resolution and it should be cliché but it's so important and good!!!!
And the end credits theme isn't some big bombastic confident set piece! The instruments are still all doing different things! It's hesitant! It's a little sad! But by golly does it make you feel great.
Have I expressed my love for the almost-lead-in to the Avengers Theme in the credits track? Because I love the almost-lead-in to the Avengers Theme in the credits track.
Any time a movie has tried to use the Avengers theme since Endgame, it's just felt wrong. I'm glad they didn't go into the whole body of it this time either, but for the first time here I thought… yes. I could be ok with this.
10/10
You get a movie based on your life. Who do you want to compose the music?
John Williams
Hans Zimmer
James Horner
John Powell
Michael Giacchino
Thomas Newman
Danny Elfman
James Newton Howard
Patrick Doyle
Alexandre Desplat
I know there were only 15 of you and I didn't tag Hans Zimmer, but this is still fascinating to me.
