BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE MUSIC

SAT 30 NOV 2019 CONCERT HALL, QPAC

PROGRAM | CINEMATIC I WELCOME

In my work as a bassoonist with Queensland Symphony Orchestra, I get to play all sorts of music. There are the great classic masterpieces by composers including Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky; there are famous ballets and operas; and then there is a concert like this one featuring some of the greatest movie music of all time. Every style of music touches us in different ways, however the common thread is the emotions it evokes in us and the imagination it sparks. Music allows us the space to create wonderful new worlds in our ever-increasingly busy minds. Movie music brings the visual and the auditory experience together in perfect harmony (pardon the pun!). A lot of the music we are performing tonight will take you back in time. I grew up watching many of these movies and the music brings back some fond childhood memories. Like watching the firstStar Wars movie with my brother and sisters, on the couch, in my pyjamas, eating popcorn and desperately wanting long hair (I had short hair at the time) so I could look like Princess Leia! Tonight we're playing the memorable musical sounds of Star Wars and Back to the Future to name a couple. But we're also playing the music of my own children's growing years – How to Train Your Dragon and The Incredibles. There is a great deal of nostalgia and emotion mixed up in this music and I hope you adore listening to it as much as we love playing it. Nicole Tait Section Principal Bassoon IN THIS CONCERT

In this inaugural CINEMATIC concert, Queensland Symphony Orchestra will take you The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring on a journey through some of the best blockbuster movie music of recent years. These themes have become so well-loved and familiar that they almost rival the (Symphonic Suite) great classical compositions of the past for popularity. Read on for more information Howard Shore (b. 1946) on the soundscape you can expect to hear in each piece. There is barely a moment in Peter Jackson’s gargantuan three-film adaptation ofThe Lord of the Rings that does not feature Howard Shore’s music. Written for huge orchestra Star Wars (Main Title) (and choir in some parts), the music is as much a feature of the film as its acting and (b. 1932) groundbreaking special effects. Shore viewed the music for this film as if it were an opera – in other words, he was unashamedly trying to heighten the emotion and intensity of Few things are more thrilling than the opening of a Star Wars movie (at least up until each scene. Fans of the films will recognise many of the themes in this suite: from the Rogue One changed the plan!). Part of what makes them so memorable is the moment folksy sound of Hobbiton, to the brassy world of the heroic Fellowship who try to destroy of silence as the words ‘A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away’ display on the screen. the One Ring, to the grim and harsh clashing notes that signify Mordor and the Orcs. Then, without warning, they are replaced by the massive ‘STAR WARS’. Almost before your eyes have registered those words, your ears have been hit with the sound of brass instruments playing an epic fanfare as composer John Williams’ brilliant main theme The Avengers (Theme) begins. This opening tune created an instant sensation when the movie premiered in 1977, Alan Silvestri (b. 1950) and has remained prominent in public imagination since. We can think of no better way to begin this journey into the world of film music. Alan Silvestri has composed soundtracks for over 100 films, many of them some of the most popular films of the last few decades (includingBack to the Future, which is coming up in the second half!). One of the features of film scores in recent years is the Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Rey’s Theme) use of ostinato – a musical technique where short groups of notes are repeated over and John Williams over again. Silvestri’s theme from The Avengers is a great example of this – the string instruments strike up an insistent rhythm which echoes the driving action of the film, When Disney announced that they were producing the first ever sequels to the beloved then the horns enter and raise the pulse even further. This string and brass combo has Star Wars trilogy, expectations were through the roof. Surprisingly, The Force Awakens become as much a part of modern blockbuster cinema as superheroes themselves. Have delivered, pleasing (most) fans by having enough familiar elements but with a few new a listen out for it next time you’re watching a Marvel film! surprises, too. One of the delights of The Force Awakens is its feisty heroine Rey, played by Daisy Ridley. Babe (Excerpts from Concert Suite) No helpless princess, Rey is inventive, brave, strong, and well and truly holds her own with the male characters in the film. John Williams was taken with her as well, and Nigel Westlake (b. 1958) composed her very own theme that has taken its place in the canon of great Star Wars Telling the story of a friendly pig that manages to escape the normal fate of pigs by music. Beginning with a mysterious repeated tune on the flutes and growing more heroic becoming a sheep-pig, Babe is a charming tale about how politeness really can work from there, it feels completely different from the more brass or string oriented music we wonders. The instantly recognisable main theme is actually not Australian composer associate with Star Wars, and perfectly establishes the inquisitive, intrepid nature of Rey. Nigel Westlake’s own – it is a melody that appeared in the famous ‘Organ’ Symphony by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns back in 1886. (Some tunes are so great, they never go out of fashion!) The Saint-Saëns tune was also used in the 1977 pop song ‘If I Had Words’ sung by Scott Fitzgerald and Yvonne Keeley. Amazingly, the film managed to give a nod to both versions. A trio of mice sing a sped- up version of the song over the end credits and Westlake gives us the theme closer to its original orchestral sound throughout the soundtrack. However, far from just revolving around one old tune, his score is a masterful and beautiful showcase for the emotion and joy of orchestral music.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Star Trek: First Contact (End Credits) (Excerpts from Children’s Suite for Orchestra) Jerry Goldsmith (1929–2004)

John Williams We begin this second half with a different take onStar Trek. This film featured the cast of the Star Trek: Next Generation TV series, and legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith It’s easy to overuse the word ‘iconic’ but it’s hard to think of any other words to describe was assigned to the film. The first theme we hear manages to capture the vastness of the sound-world that John Williams created for this firstHarry Potter film. The opening space with its spectacular opening leap in the French horn before leading into the iconic melody played on the celeste (a keyboard instrument that strikes small metal bars march which is both heroic and optimistic in nature. This particular theme is arguably the to create its distinctive tinkling sound) is instantly recognisable within a few notes as greatest that Goldsmith ever composed. being the sound of the boy wizard. (Even if the theme that we so associate with Harry is actually named after his owl, Hedwig.) What you may not realise (because our Orchestra makes it look so easy) is that the Apollo 13 (Excerpts) violin part which follows – those amazing flourishes that give the impression of flying – James Horner (1953–2015) are fiendishly difficult to perform. In the hands of a skilled orchestra, the music Harryof Potter is magical indeed. James Horner’s score for Ron Howard’s filmApollo 13 was nominated for an Academy Award in 1995. The film tells the true story of astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise. They were meant to be the third group of astronauts to land on the moon in 1970, Star Trek Into Darkness (Suite) but an on-board explosion led to an emergency situation where it was touch-and-go Michael Giacchino (b. 1967) whether the astronauts would be able to make it home. While the film contains all the tension and drama of this situation, it is also a nostalgic Many people have wondered who will be ‘the next John Williams’. It’s difficult to tell, but look at the glory days of America’s travels into space. American composers over the 20th certainly one of the great film composers of the modern generation is Michael Giacchino. century successfully carved out a musical language to describe their national outlook, Director J. J. Abrams was no stranger to Giacchino’s work, because he scored every single and James Horner taps into this with the lone heroic trumpet and the militaristic drums. episode of the six seasons of Abrams’ enigmatic hit TV show LOST. Off the strength of It is a beautiful theme – one which is instantly and undeniably American. that score and his work on some of the greatest Pixar films, it made perfect sense for Abrams to involve Giacchino in his reboot of the Star Trek franchise. Abrams’ big screen outing of Star Trek (of which Into Darkness was the sequel) brought Journey (Excerpts) a sense of action and momentum to the franchise that made this a very different Austin Wintory (b. 1984) experience from the simplistic sets and minimal special effects of the 60s TV show. However, Giacchino happily celebrates both worlds. This suite begins and ends with a nod Next to classical music, music for movies has been the place where we most expect to the theme of the original television show, while in between Giacchino serves up some to hear an orchestra. However, as computers and video game consoles became more of the most spectacular action music he has ever composed. influential, a whole word of elaborately orchestrated music has been created for video games. Austin Wintory’s Journey soundtrack was considered such a masterpiece that it was the first video game score to be nominated for a Grammy. INTERVAL Journey is widely regarded as one of the greatest video games of all time and, in it, you play a robed figure making your way across a vast desert toward a mountain in the distance. Wintory’s music conveys the mysticism of the experience, and features prominent parts for solo instruments of the orchestra, particularly the cello.

Back to the Future (Suite) How To Train Your Dragon (Suite) Alan Silvestri John Powell (b. 1963)

The story goes that when Back to the Future’s director Robert Zemeckis asked his Sometimes, you never know where the next great soundtrack will be found. Every school producer Steven Spielberg whether he could use composer Alan Silvestri to score the film, holiday seems to bring a new round of animated movies, many of which blur into the Spielberg was a bit doubtful. Silvestri’s previous score for Zemeckis was Romancing the others, but the 2010 feature How To Train Your Dragon stands out. It is an exhilarating Stone, a very 80s sounding affair, with plenty of saxophone and synthesizer – not exactly and entertaining tale of a young Viking named Hiccup who secretly befriends an injured how Spielberg imagined his film. dragon. English composer John Powell outdid himself with the score for this film. The narrative is constantly shifting tone from driving action and epic dragon battles to Zemeckis suggested Silvestri create something large-scale and orchestral, and Silvestri romantic moments, with plenty of high comedy in between. Powell effortlessly handles all delivered in spades. Listeners only have to hear a few notes of the sweeping Back to the these shifts with a score that captures the varying moods of the film perfectly. He clearly Future theme and it instantly conjures up Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) trying to get his loves the orchestra with many instruments being given the spotlight (like piccolos and time-travelling DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour to be able to travel back to the future. solo violin), but is also comfortable creating the massive sounds that we associate with Blockbuster Movie Music. Inception (Excerpts) We can think of no better end to this concert than the suite from Dragon, which ranges Hans Zimmer (b. 1957) from high adventure to gorgeous romance and comedy, and most wonderfully, the joy of flight. Listen carefully towards the end of the music for Hiccup’s first flight on his dragon, One of the great film collaborations of recent years has been director Christopher Nolan Toothless. In the film, Toothless begins to plummet towards the sea in a free fall, and the and composer Hans Zimmer. Nolan, a director who loves the big screen (often shooting music reflects this chaos, with the strings being asked to play random slides in a certain his films with IMAX cameras), has created a legacy of films which hit the sweet spot range. However, at the last minute, the dragon halts the fall and soars into the sky – and so between being popcorn features that pull in the masses but crafted with an eye to detail does the music, in one of the most exhilarating orchestral moments ever composed. that is the envy of cinephiles everywhere. Big films require big soundtracks, and Hans Zimmer has created some of his most memorable scores for Nolan films. © Matthew Hodge 2019 Perhaps no film captured the essence of the Nolan/Zimmer partnership better than Inception, a multi-layered (literally!) heist drama about a group of thieves who had If you enjoyed some of the soundtracks here today, you might also like to hear some learned the art of sneaking into people’s dreams to raid their subconscious.
