When Nicholas Hooper, composer for fifth and sixth Harry Potter films, was set the task to write music for Dumbledore's death, he decided to look back upon the music of mourning from hundreds of years ago. The piece he produced is not only beautifully simple, but also uses a bass line that links composers and musicians across hundreds of years - from Monteverdi to Bach, to The Beatles to Radiohead. Let's find out what ties them all together.

Why Jurassic Park's Music is So Powerful
zhlédnutí 396KPřed 2 lety
John William's score for Jurassic Park contains some of the most iconic themes ever written for film. But although the music by itself is deeply affecting, the real power comes through the complex relationships we make with the music when it's paired with Spielberg's visuals. In this essay, I consider why the music for Jurassic Park is so powerful, and why it has stayed with us all of these yea...
What's the Colour of Music? Messiaen and Colour
zhlédnutí 50KPřed 2 lety
Many composers over the years have claimed to experience synaesthesia, a condition where one sense is activated by experiencing another, and for music, this normally means that when someone hears sounds, they see colours. Scriabin, Liszt and Ligeti are some well-known examples of synesthetes, but among these composers, there is only one who truly dedicated his life to exploring the colours of m...

Over the past year, I've been working with music students from a high school on Mercer Island in Seattle to create of a new piece of music for their wind band.

It became a huge collaborative effort, and I ende...
1917 - How Music Propels The Story
zhlédnutí 37KPřed 3 lety
The score for Sam Mendes' 1917, by composer Thomas Newman, plays one of the most significant roles in storytelling in the film, partly due to the way the music is used, but more importantly because of the nature of the film's construction. By building 1917 around a single, un-broken shot, it brings the music into even greater focus, creating an even stronger link between story and music, propel...

Hokusai's 'The Great Wave Off Kanagawa' is one of the most recognisable paintings in art history.

Wonderful journey thorough the music. I wonder how much of a classic cruciform had been used A-C-E as the tonal center ( A was the tonica in the past I believe) in the church history. The pedal point and rising to overtone scale seems to indicate a deep level of music understanding and tradition ✅
Man I was so bummed to see there hasn’t been in upload in a while. Just discovered you through Marriage Story and the video was fantastic, hope you’re doing good at least
... What if we got the guy who wrote the TF2 soundtrack to come up with something?...
Every single one of them is perfect, the movies on the other side... 😅
You can’t get any better than Goldfinger. Every thing else is just reaching for that top spot.
I have no idea what this guy is talking abt but okay
Personally, Skyfall is my fav intro song.
John Williams is the GOAT!
it might be mechanically the most fitting, but it is not a good bond song. "ambiguity" does not fit bond. "You know my name" is the best craig Theme song. "it thematically fits modern bond" modern bond isn't modern bond. brosnan was as modern as bond got. They figured tomorrow never dies so they decided to just kill him today.
Honestly the prequels have some of the best music I’ve ever heard. I remember first hearing the duel of the fates when I went to see phantom menace when they brought it back to theaters in 2011. The 2 other pieces I really love more than that though are Anakin vs. Obi-wan and battle of the hero’s. Those are really magical and probably the best film scores of all time IMO.
lovely work!
Can’t help imagining what it would be like if Cuaron directed the entire franchise

I've watched this so many times
Very much appreciate this. The music has been enormously affecting every time I have watched the films. I'm aware of it, but hadn't been so *knowledgeably* aware. Thank you.
They used this concept to make music in older hardware limited video games, aka chiptunes.
actually skyfall is the perfect Bond theme
Can anyone tell me what track has 0:58-1:20 in it? That specific mix of the strings straight into the Shire theme is something I've been looking for
Wow. Great video and explanation. I know only a very little about music theory (played trumpet from grade 8 to 10) but found this video captivating from beginning to end. Also a big Bond fan. Excellent job.
On a side note, I absolutely hated the whiny insufferable junk that was the Sam Smith theme. I remember sitting in the theater with my hands over my ears praying for the suffering to end.
These should be music that’s analysed in music classes in primary school. My lord am I wide awake at 1:30 am
When i listen to jupiter i do see the atrological inspirations but this song in particular creates such vivid images of the planet. This song captures a lot of feeling. Triumph and tragedy and salvation and hope and LOVE all rolled into one snowball of emotion. It’s mostly very quick melodies capturing triumph and hope and whatever, but everything else culminates in that famous part near the middle. That best captures jupiter as a planet. Seeing it clearly as it rises above some distant horizon. Or seeing part of it illuminated as it turns over to see the sun again. Jupiter is a planet full of history and emotion. Read about it. It’s formation and role in the solar system are fascinating and it is so important. We rely on it like a second star, which, if things had gone right, it would’ve been. That part of the song feels like meeting an old friend, or a family member you haven’t seen in forever, or feeling the sun rise after a cold night, or watching rays of light hit the trees at sundown. It’s incredible. I don’t understand how that was achieved.
What about the groaning sounds that rise in pitch during the heartbeat sound effect in a couple of the shots..So perfect..
Interesting video. But why do you say that a professional singer can tune "best" than professional string players? I don't think that's true. If they're professionals, I think both can tune the same.
excellent
I don't get Radiohead. Beauty? Meh.
1 - Spectre (Radiohead vr.) 2 - Live and Let Die 3 - Skyfall 4 - You Know My Name 5 - Goldfinger
"Listening to Radiohead always brings me back to my happy mood!" ... says no one ever.
There are no words to describe the feelings that rise up in me when I hear the opening theme to the Star Wars movies. I truly enjoyed the dissection of the theory behind the major themes. Thank you!!!
This made me cry Instantly in the end.
Similar to she chose me
man i love tadiohead
Such a beautiful video.
Wow, brilliant analysis.
I’ve always been obsessed with the male choir of the Khazad dum music, & the shrieking cascading strings for Shelob always stood out to me as a really freaky spider-like musical accompaniment
I just noticed I had this video disliked I meant to like it the first time I watched it I must have accidentally pressed the dislike sorry for the accidental hate 🤣
Of course they chose Sam Smith over Radiohead. Because you know. rEaSoNs.
I Play Dead by Bjork ... another missed opportunity for a perfect Bond theme
Muse still have the best james bond song.
one word: Goosebumps
3rd best bond theme
This is the main masterpiece from music minimalism that will stand the test of time.
best bond song is Snake Eater. Enough said.
I always believed that the Radiohead song, perfect for the end when the credits roll in a James Bond movie, would be "There There."
This still makes me angry.
I stopped going to movies ages ago mostly because of shitty comic book hero action crap. the worst bond is this new guy that looks like Putin. I think "The Movies" were trying to soften the blow for when the damned old tramp gave the USA to Putin for Malania's wedding gift. england should stay out of other countries affairs. dump bibi and the tramp for world peace!
Thanks God they reject it.. Thats so Un-Bond.. Thats "RADIOHEAD" signature music, Gloomy and depressing, its absolutely would makes mr.Bond seems so weak and Creep!
As criminal as it was to discard this song, it would have been equally as horrendous to waste this fantastic song on such a mediocre movie that Spectre was.
Who cares? Bunch of noyz...
Imaging gettting Radioheads full artistic attention then choosing Sam Fucking Smith.
