Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 1

Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 1
Music by John Williams

In a singular moment, it became apparent that although there are numerous H.P. compilations floating around out there on the cloud, it occurred to me that there was nothing that brought the score highlights of H.P. from beginning to end. This then is a tribute to all of the Harry Potter Scores as well as the motion pictures that will be enjoyed for many, many years to come. Presented here is the Harry Potter Symphony with a total timing of 1:39:58. True it is not actually a movie suite, but it is close enough to share! I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

In the first movement of the HPS (Harry Potter Symphony) we have entitled: Sorcerers and Chambers, with the music composed by Mr. Williams. He introduced us to the simple yet effective Hedwig's Theme that you will hear throughout all of the movements so it is fitting that we begin at the beginning. With a timing of 28:16 this whirls us into the Wizarding World quite nicely, thank you.

Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 2

Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 2
Music by Patrick Doyle and John Williams

In the second movement of the HPS (Harry Potter Symphony) we have entitled: Prisoner and Goblet, which starts with the continued scoring by Mr. Williams and ends with Mr. Doyles' excellent phrasing. Harry and his friends are growing up and the themes presented here do a wonderful job of representing that. Sure, there are many moments of lightness and discovery, but there is also the foreboding sense of evil around every corner. With a timing of 27:25, I am sure you will enjoy this.  -MJ

Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 3

Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 3
Music by Nicholas Hooper

In the third movement of the HPS (Harry Potter Symphony) we have entitled: Phoenix and the Prince with scoring by Mr. Hooper who brings a new turn of themes to the tale of Harry Potter. With vintage sound of horns, pipes as well as full orchestra, Mr. Hooper brings us into the story beginning with celebratory cues that soon turn darkly serious. Harry's life changes as he learns more about the Wizarding World, more about his mortal enemies and how this music draws us into the center of the tale. With a timing of 22:07, this is over before you realize it. Enjoy while you can.  -MJ

Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 4

Harry Potter Symphony - Movement # 4
Music by Alexandre Desplat

In this the fourth movement of the HPS (Harry Potter Symphony) we have entitled: The Deathly Hollows, with scoring by Mr. Desplat who finishes the Symphony with a twisting, turning, flash of brilliance. The music fills one with dread and hope as we are taken into the final throes of good vs. evil, which is a fitting conclusion to our journey with Harry and the Wizarding World. With a timing of 22:10 it is my hope that you enjoyed your listening journey, too. -MJ

The Legend of The Lone Ranger Movie Suite

Legend of the Lone Ranger, The Suite
Music by John Barry

Taken as a whole, this movie suite from 1981 is representative of what Mr. Barry was putting out in the early 80's when he was so very busy with James Bond scores and the like. This has a very down on the farm attitude (or is it a western attitude?) that seems just about right. It's obvious that this was not an action picture, so other than the requisite William Tell Overture 3/4 of the way through, we have some themes that beg you to sit back and relaxe as you listen. With a timing of 16:58 this demonstrates where we've been and it is an enjoyable reminder. I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

The Lone Ranger Movie Suite (2013)

The Lone Ranger Suite
Music by Hans Zimmer

In this recent 2013 remake, Mr. Zimmer has stirred the pot of previous western scores to bring us an imaginative movie suite that feels like Goldsmith, sounds like Morricone yet is without a doubt all Zimmer. The merits of the movie aside this music builds quickly, pulling back on the reigns when necessary, but pushing ahead to the prerequisite William Tell Overture which Mr. Zimmer has added his own flourishes to as well. When this suite comes to a conclusion you wonder why you are not breathless from exhaustion. With a timing of 29:49, I hope you enjoy this romp.  -MJ
