To contrast that Richard Strauss via Williams via Giacchino moment, a pure Giacchino moment: when the star destroyers fell into the force field gate, remember that texture, that oddly peaceful, serene sound dominated by quiet strings? Very similar to the elder Kirk piloting his ship headlong into the Romulan mining vessel.
ROGUE ONE SOUNDTRACK TARGET FULL
Also like Williams, Giacchino went full Richard Strauss with melody and overall texture during one of the flying scenes, can't remember which offhand.īut flying scenes are something Williams does better than anyone - think about Harry Potter flying Buckbeak in Prisoner of Azkeban, about the Asteroid Field in ESB, the sky bound scenes in Hook - you don't need the visuals to know that we're flying in those and nobody else to my mind comes close. Williams has distinctive flute writing as well. Williams has a certain unmistakable way of using a trumpet section during action scenes (for example) and R1 was chock full of that. What struck me the most was the use of texture and orchestration. To a musician's ear, the vast majority of the soundtrack was Giacchino doing his best Williams impersonation. ||| Join our Discord! ||| Question?
