This was super fun, you guys! Thanks so much for having me, hope we can do it again soon!
It was an absolute pleasure to have you Charles!! So much fun and heck yes I'd love to do it again!!!!!
You guys are just amazing! Undisputed best channel on CZcams, with the best guests!
You guys and John Williams: what an absolute feast! My inner music nerd is on fire right now
Yo it’s so cool seeing you guys geek out to Williams! He’s truly a legend living among us
The crossover we all needed, super cool
Voting for Charles to become a permanent part of this cast! You guys have so much fun together!! I love the dynamic!
❤
I second that!
Ryan talked about setting up an expectation at 17:48 by picking up the guitar and what he did next is a shocking example of it.
Lmao
Excelent!!! LMAO😂😂
But he didn't deliver on it though 😂
They fucking cut it for sure
Ryan and Jack are getting better and better with every episode. And I'm very happy to see Charles here! His channel and work are incredible!
what a tagteam, my goodness
the music nerdity is extremely strong, it's so much fun to watch
My thoughts exactly!🙂
Alfred Newman, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Miklos Rozsa, Victor Young, Bernard Herrmann, Max Steiner... old music creators that deserve recognition too.
Go Charles!! We love a leitmotif analysis 😍
I really love how light the Jurassic Park theme is. In a film that could have had a very aggressive, brass heavy score, Williams showed a lot of restraint in creating such a beautiful theme. The franchise would not be the same without it.
His theme felt like a celebration of life, and the wonder of seeing something in the flesh for the first time.
Yeah, he really brought across the sense of awe of seeing dinosaurs in real life for the first time, while the cast is still clueless as to the disaster that's about to unfold. It's so pure that it makes the rest of the movie that much more impactful. A masterclass in making a soundtrack fit and enhance the dramatic beats of the film.
Don't forget Spielberg's influence on the score. He almost certainly specifically asked John to create a theme of awe and wonder.
Guest plays "Mary Has a Little Lamb" melody.......OOOOOH SHIT....GOT DAMN THAT WAS SICK!!
I'm a LOT older than you guys - that said, I'd like to see you do this same thing with Ennio Morricone's work. I'd also like you to listen to Jerry Goldsmith's score for "Patton" and Randy Newman's score for "The Natural".
I'd add Basil Poledouris' score for 'Conan the Barbarian'...
Chinatown
The Mission is incredible
The crossover I didn't know I needed.
YOU BROUGHT CHAAAAAARLES🔥
It is an utter delight to see musicians enthusiastically nerdgasm to extraordinary pieces of music every week. Please, keep that.
Professional Musicians React, Charles Cornell, and one of the all time great film composers all in one video? Whatever we did to deserve this, we'd better keep doing it! ♥
So, I’m gonna need another 3 hours of this…
This feels like a trailer for a season 😂
Ryan's the Ian Malcolm of this group. Keeping everyone grounded while Jack and Charles are flailing around. It's amazing.
haha
Malcolm in the Middle
This feels extremely professional! Almost like a documentary! Whenever you put a bunch of people who know a lot about a specific topic in a room together and they talk it is always so interesting!
John Williams is a genius and he will be remembered in the Pantheon of all great composers... That is all.
John Williams deserves a deep dive. Invite Charles back so you can talk about Binary Sunset, or Han and Leia's theme, or the ET flying theme, etc., etc. Or maybe Professional Musicians React could have its own Patreon with longer form content? Clearly you guys love sitting around and talking about this stuff.
This! They could spend a whole video on each film unpacking the themes.
"Etc.", may include, some of my favorite themes: "Can You Read My Mind?", from "Superman" (1978), "Main Theme", and "Captain Hook's Theme", from "Hook", "Marion's Theme", from "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", and "Luke's Theme", from "Star Wars".
@@calebclunie4001 oooh, Marion's Theme. Also the way they meshed it together with the Raider's Theme on the soundtrack album is just sooo tasty.
You’ve had some great guests, but Charles may be your best pick yet. Such a passion for learning and teaching music
Okay, these blocks that explain musical ideas are boss! I'm hooked as a non-musician who appreciates musicians and music. Keep this up and I think the channel will appeal very widely. For example, I also like to watch Rick Beato and learn all about music and I'm 62 years old. Thanks so much!
Another great video! Loving this whole series so far but one critique for this one is that the editing here, unlike on the rest of the series, makes it feel like we missed a lot of the conversation which is unfortunate. I think most people wouldn't mind if some of these go a bit long, and on this one it'd have been helpful. That said I still got some new insights and I feel I learned a lot from the discussion that was shared.
Anyway, keep being awesome and looking forward to more great discussions!
Thanks for the feedback I love to know how to improve and will take note!
Just to tag onto this, the end felt very rushed. I mean, hey, this is youtube, what do you mean, we're out of time? It's your show, go as long as you want! But it was so much fun to listen to you all geek out about this stuff. Keep it going!
It’s amazing that a 20-minute video feels rushed, but it’s totally true, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I get that there is so much content we want creators to be editors and only give us their best stuff. But… if you think about these videos like jazz, part of the magic is in the improv. It feels like you guys could have gone off for half an hour about the minor IV and then found your way back. In some ways it feels more exciting than, say, an Adam Neely video devoted to the minor IV and its use in Western music (or whatever).
this is the crossover i never knew i needed
I love when music theorists get excited abs explain why we love “that part”
Seeing Charles go absolutely ham over a piece of music will never not get me hype. Talk about contagious enthusiasm!
Biggest music geek out you've done so far and I'm totally here for it! Captured exactly how I feel when a phrase, melody, hook or groove, grabs me.
I could have listened to hours of this. On that note, you might consider continuing this conversation. I guess that's how you know something is good, when people hate when it's over. Thanks guys
Beyond stoked to see Charles here!!
I would love another episode devoted to John Williams. In my opinion, his best work is in E.T. and I would LOVE to see your reaction to it.
I'd love to see something like this with Ennio Morricone too. Not just the spaghetti western stuff, but things like the Mission and Gabriel's Oboe where such a simple melody just turns me to mush. His ability to make music be the star of a scene and how he takes you through an emotional journey with notes while people are doing nothing more than looking at each other for 5 minutes is ridiculous.
The soundtrack to Once Upon a Time in the West is such a masterpiece. It was also crazy how Sergio Leone had the soundtrack written before the movie so he could shape the movie to the music rather than the other way around.
Yes! Do it again!!!
John Barry- Dances With Wolves.
The horns get me every time.
John Williams on the side is a cool person and down to earth. Him and Yoyo Ma .Loved his work for decades.Glad you guys is featuring his work
They did an album and an ep together you know
"TENSION & RELEASE...ALL that matters is that we ARRIVE" 🙌🏾🤍 Thoroughly enjoyed🥲♥️
This is some of the most wholesome shit I've seen in a minute.
Wow this was fantastic, definitely sticking around, thank you!
Criminally short episode about the greatest film composer.
Interestingly (maybe) that the Imperial March, the part most associated with Darth Vader and the empire doesn't appear in A New Hope at all. They have a completely different motif for the empire in that movie that everyone forgets about, but it's this cool understated minor third thing throughout.
OMG my two favorite music channels have joined forces! I can die now!
John Williams is the man.
The collab I didn’t know I needed! Now they just need to do a song 😜
That was so awesome!!! So many things that people don't take the time to stop and appreciate were mentioned here. I could listen to you and Charles talk about Williams for hours! Hoping Charles comes on the show again!
Welcome to Jurassic Park, is my Pavlov bell to goosebumps. It never fails to do that...
Just a couple of music dorks geeking out about incredible art. Love it.
"Modal interchange": the technique of borrowing chords from parallel modes.
I learned something today! Composers that can do this with skill are just the best. It's like they can take you on a emotional journey within a chord progression and then resolve it properly.
Yes pleaaaaaaaaaasse. Charles enters the battlefield!
Oh awesome, you have Charles with you! I love how excited you are discussing the legend :D Also super helpful info on the music guys, thank you!
I love the energy in this video
The scene with the Yoda Mask is also part of a running gag between Spielberg and Lucas, which also included ET's species being represented in the Galactic Senate in The Phantom Menace.
There was soooo much energy in this post .
It was infectious ....Iearned lots.
P.s. Ennio Morricone ❤
"jurassic park" and "hook" scores are forever etched into my brain
also thomas newman's score for "fried green tomatoes"
The excitement is contagious
I unserstood about 6% of what yall were saying, but I can totally relate to the losing of the collective shit over these tracks, insane stuff. Love the show guys! Keep it up
Charles fits in too well here
This one felt too short! I love that you guys approached soundtracks, though. I heard a story that one time when Spielberg approached John Williams about a soundtrack, Williams said "you need a better composer," and Spielberg's response was "I know, but they're all dead." And to think of the melodies and images and motifs that Williams has given us so far... it's just incredible. A RIDICULOUSLY talented composer.
Also, thanks to Charles for bringing up the concept of horizontal composing and the short video plug. It's getting added to my watch list!!
This is the energy I need moving into 2022.
I love how this was recommended to me on the day of John Williams 90th birthday
Best video you've made so far - JOHN WILLIAMS! YES!!
I could've watched this the all-day, why did you stop! there's so much of William's catalogue...please do a part 2,3...
So much love in this video for the soundtrack GOAT.
fascinating to see real musician not just reacting but also geeking out about music. I haven't seen such channel so far
I'd love to see you reacting to Jacob Collier productions and the crazy amount of different things going on his tracks!
Great idea! I'd love to watch them reacting to Jacob's Tiny Desk (at Home) concert, for instance. That was surreal!
Imagine them reacting to moon river, it would be incredible
Reacting to moon river is my vote as well. So incredible.
Excellent conversation!!! I feel like being there
The JP theme chokes me up and gives me goosebumps every time!
John Williams = instantaneous goosebumps
I'm watching/listening from a phone during work, with only one earpiece in my ear and this still hits like a truck of goosebumps. What a genius he is...
Lol, even for a lifer like me, your enthusiasm is still infectious...I LOVE people who LOVE John Williams. Your talk also goes a bit more in-depth than the usual vids. Good job.
This channel has quickly turned into one of my favorites. It's so fun and satisfying to see people get as excited as I do over a 2 second moment in a song.
I loved seeing Charles and hearing his contributions.
Words tell me what to think. Sounds (including music) tell me what to feel. Action/acting is the bridge between.
I never thought I'd say this for an almost 20 minute long video on CZcams, but this video is far too short! I could listen to these three analyze John Williams or Hans Zimmer every day.
That being said, here's an idea for a future video - works of Howard Shore, especially the ones used in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The crossover we all needed!!
PS: Charles Cornell's legs reveal!!
😂
Ok I think I couldn’t love this more... is like two sets of my best friends from different circles met, became friends, and decided to talk about my all time hero... is like a dream come true! And they talk about my other friend Jacob Collier... happy cry Minor 4.... love this! Please keep it doing, invite Jacob Collier and also maybe analyze Dusty Loops...
Please do more content with Charles! This was awesome.
That episode was super cool, and brought me hapiness. Would you have listened to the score of the moveie 'Hook', I'd have been ecstatic.
This is the comment I was looking for!
“Journey to the island” before this main theme is one of may favorites - there’s a lot of movement.
This whole video is Jack and Charles screaming at each other and Ryan just being caught in the crossfire LOL
That was too short!! We need more of this colab, please!!
John Williams does not send off stuff to assistant composers and always fully orchestrates his works and only has an orchestrator to add small details and prepare the scores for the orchestra. The fact that this is his workflow and he finished Jurassic Park in a month, shows how ferocious he is and was especially at that time of his career
Thank you for pointing that out! I was actually a bit annoyed when they compared Williams (who is a real composer) to hans Zimmer, who ist just a simple pop keyboarder with a huge staff of talented and skillful people.
@@manuel.roesler I'll second that! 👍
I like how a sound can be so epic that it can only be shouted over
Need to have John Williams Part two!
Goosebumps every time for the Jurassic Park theme.
More! ❤️
This was nice - really nice. The bit of the Star Wars soundtrack that gets me every time is the very end of the Throne Room theme - the way it builds and slows and then finally releases into the end title music (with its b6-5 pattern). Uff!
Will anyone talk about William's "Catch Me If You Can" jazz based soundtrack? It's completely different to any other he's done and worth analyzing.
Ludwig Göransson's "The Mandalorian" soundtrack needs a mention as a young composer
and David Hirschfelder's "Shine" is so melodic.
This channel is SO much fun!!! Woo!!
Brilliant as always! Do Ramin Djawadi (Westworld, Game of Thrones) next!
I was jumping and laughing with you every single time guys! Love the content, please do one more with Charles about Jazz Standards!!!! That would be awesome
Always so good. More Prince please.
This video deserves about x100000000 more views !!!
Danggg this could been 30 minutes and I would’ve loved EVERY SECOND! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great video! Coming here by way of being a Charles Cornell subscriber. I learn something new every time I listen to him talk.
Re: the callback to Yoda's theme in ET - yeah, this was one of the few factoids I knew, but only intuitively: I recall watching that scene and thinking "hey, didn't we just go into Star Wars music?"
Having a Grammy-winning engineer on a podcast is such a flex. :-D
You guys’ energy combined with Charles’ energy is amazing. Do more with Charles please!
The fourths and fifths in hero themes, I believe, originate from the open horn that could only really play these intervals. Horns were used for hunting and to direct troops. These things have heroic undertones.
this has become my fav channel rn!! thanks :)
So glad you mentioned the planets. I remember playing mars in high school, and playing that and watching those movies was amazing.
My favorite “throw away” John Williams songs are the NBC News theme and the Olympic March. Especially the big giant bass hit near the beginning of the Olympic March
10:27 lmao, this is sooo good :D bring us so much joy seeing this up on youtube
