11:41 this is actually correct, directors will often find outside music as a placeholder before their composer writes original music. The problem is sometimes the directors start falling in love with the original piece forcing the composer to strike a balance between something original and sticking to the placeholder 🥶

They do it in marching bands at college football games too. Like, LSU is known for their "neck" chant which has been copied by several other colleges. Alabama's million dollar band has also done Kashmir. I can think of others, but those two are chief among them that I know.

@johnk5398

1y↑11

I wouldnt say its as much the director falling in love with the piece, part of it is the director choosing temp music they already like that fits the mood they are looking for, then the editor sometimes edits the scene to have more rhythm with that music and by the time the composer comes along they have no choice but to create a piece of original music that imitates the temp music that was used during the editing process.

Kubrick did this, and in the case of 2001, after listening to the score he'd commissioned he decided he liked his place-holder music better. The composer only learned of this at the premiere, where he was rudely surprised when Also Sprach Zarathustra began playing.

@jakegearhart

It's more them dragging George Lucas. He told Williams to copy classical music.
George Lucas originally intended to score the film exclusively to classical music and even shot scenes specifically with classical pieces in mind (like the trench run scene to Holst's music). Lucas wanted to revitalize orchestral film scoring which had become out of favor by the 70s in favor of pop music and synthesizers and so we have Star Wars to thank for having orchestral film scores today. George Lucas was very hesitant to stray from that plan and it took his friend Steven Spielberg to convince him otherwise and to use John Williams. That's why a ton of A New Hope sounds like classical music. Empire Strikes Back was scored exclusively based on John Williams' own ideas and that film really showcases John Williams' more modern style. It really shows you how genius John Williams is that he can create such different scores from his own style that still sound incredible.
5:59 "The Dune Sea of Tatooine" queue is scored extremely similarly to the Rite of Spring and the Empire in A New Hope uses almost exclusively Holst references. Note that the Imperial March didn't exist in A New Hope at all. That was created by Williams on his own for Empire Strikes back and the other films.
2:17 is an example of Williams inserting his own motifs (this one is the "Rebel fanfare", also heard at 4:41) within George Lucas' strict guidelines.
Within film scoring, it's common practice for a director to already have music put to film in the form of "temp tracks." But the directors often view them as far from temporary. So often film composers are forced to take old music and recreate it.

@JasonShu

4y↑71

Using temp tracks is common practice in film scoring, which composers typically only have a couple months or less to do—I think it’s an overall plus for classical music to have film directors who are familiar with the orchestral repertoire. Stanley Kubrick famously liked his temp track for 2001: A Space Odyssey so much that he abandoned Alex North’s score for the film!

@jakegearhart

4y↑30

@Steffen Bakken There are no Star Wars themes that borrow from Chopin's Funeral March. I think you're trying to compare it to the Imperial March because they're both minor marches that have sections that go back and forth between two chords. But that's where the similarities end. The chords are not the same, the melody is completely different, and the Funeral March is much slower.

Another thing, since the composer is usually brought on near the end of the movie-making process, is that they'll usually use stand-in music (i.e. music from existing works) when reviewing the scene while the score is being composed. The problem is that the director then becomes so attached to the stand-in music that they basically tell the composer to just emulate it.

A lot of movie edits are put together before the score is written using a temp soundtrack of existing works. Sometimes the director gets very attached to a certain sound and wants it recreated. So, a lot of Williams' "copying" comes from the demands of the director that the score recreate the temp track.

@Blagmafuga

4y↑409

Beat me to it! I was also going to mention this. It's important to remember that the film composer does not have absolute creative control over the music, but rather should first and foremost respect the director's choices, so if the director asks the composer to be as close as possible to the temp score, the composer pretty much has no choice but to "copy."
I think these examples don't show a lack of originality by the composers, but rather show the pervasiveness of editing with temp scores, a practice that can ultimately hinder a composer's creativity.

Fun fact about the original Star Wars:
George Lucas originally intended to score the film exclusively to classical music and even shot scenes specifically with classical pieces in mind (like the trench run scene to Holst's music). Lucas wanted to revitalize orchestral film scoring which had become out of favor by the 70s in favor of pop music and synthesizers and so we have Star Wars to thank for having orchestral film scores today. George Lucas was very hesitant to stray from that plan and it took his friend Steven Spielberg to convince him otherwise and to use John Williams. That's why a ton of A New Hope sounds like classical music. Empire Strikes Back was scored exclusively based on John Williams' own ideas and that film really showcases John Williams' more modern style. It really shows you how genius John Williams is that he can create such different scores from his own style that still sound incredible.
5:59 "The Dune Sea of Tatooine" queue is scored extremely similarly to the Rite of Spring and the Empire in A New Hope uses almost exclusively Holst references. Note that the Imperial March didn't exist in A New Hope at all. That was created by Williams on his own for Empire Strikes back and the other films.
2:17 is an example of Williams inserting his own motifs (this one is the "Rebel fanfare", also heard at 4:41) within George Lucas' strict guidelines.
Within film scoring, it's common practice for a director to already have music put to film in the form of "temp tracks." But the directors often view them as far from temporary. So often film composers are forced to take old music and recreate it.

Because their (let's admit it) young audiencie, while supportive, are impressionable and just...fans (not all them, I know there are exceptions, and your comment shows that), and they may percieve Williams in a wrong light after this, and he really doesn't desrve it (or at least, in the case of his works for Spielberg and Lucas).

In Star Wars, i became a game for us to guess all the classical paraphrases that Williams had worked into his music. My guess is that Lucas had been cutting the film to "temporary tracks" of specifically chosen classical music and when it got to be time to bring in Mr. Williams, Lucas requested him to write something "original" that was closely based on . . . whatever. I was glad to hear the guys here at least mention Dukas ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice") - the big fanfare chords in the Star Wars theme "Ta-TAAAA-da / Ta-TAAAA-da are clearly taken from the Sorcerer's big chords as he appears near the end and restores order to the cave.

For the defense of Star Wars, Lucas meant to use straight up classical music as soundtrack (as it was common back then in Hollywood iirc), Williams just adjusted it to the plot and filled up the gaps.
Similar to Mars and Gladiator, Mars as the Roman God for War is basically perfect as a soundtrack for a battle.
Should have mentioned them in the credit sections tho xd

james xia Well, it’s not no one cares, it’s just a majority didn’t know. When Star Wars was just developing, Lucas and many others didn’t think the franchise would become what it is today. They were super low on budget, most of what they had went into sfx and little to make up for the soundtrack; Williams had to work with Lucas wanted. Lets not just simply bash the people who spent most of their lives on this based on a very biased video.

It must be soo incredible hard when composing NOT to play the first note of the melody and knowing so many melodies sharing the same-ish chord progression and starting note. Trying to not doing something you know might steer you toward something you've heard once but can't remember if you improvised those notes once before or if it was a piece played in the background at the mall during the last Christmas shopping.

The irony of Stravinsky accusing someone of copying him... “A good composer does not imitate; he steals", to quote the master himself. Could become topic of a future video?

@ericnk58

Stravinsky's quote was, "Mediocre composers borrow; great composers steal." Bernstein, in the final lecture, "The Poetry of Earth," of the series "The Unanswered Question," labeled Stravinsky as "the thieving magpie of the 20th Century."

John Williams got a lot of mileage out of Dvorak's New World Symphony. I can hear parts from Star Wars, Superman, and Jaws at various points. In fact, if you listen just a bit further in the piece after where you stopped it, you'll hear some more that Williams borrowed.

I have the 'Original Star Wars Soundtrack' and I was wondering why the name "Korngold" was on the cover.
Turns out his son George Korngold produced the recording, which was borrowed from a composition by his father, Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
So it wasn't a secret for people working in the music/soundtrack industry back then.

@@comandantethorn9929 Rethinking the whole thing. You know how the music business works.

They had a deal to use Korngold's original music, add a handful of notes then have John Williams as the 'vehicle' or 'medium channeling Korngold.'

It made much better PR saying you have this great new, very much alive composer then saying you're using old 50s Hollywood music from a dead composer.

In my opinion Williams is just another music artist who is covering songs (orchestral music in his case) in a new version.

So if you check out "the soundtrack show" podcast with David W Collins he explains why they're so similar. Lucas used classical music that he wanted Williams to emulate when showing Williams the reels. So Williams abided by that.
