Ken320 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The Accidental Tourist is one of my favorite films, whose score is a remarkably prismatic theme by John Williams. Here are three different versions and I cannot remember where I got them.

Monarcheon Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm confused. Did you write these? If not, I should probably move these. In any case, they're gorgeous. I've personally avoided neighboring/passing tones/escape tones when the tonic chord wasn't pedal, but I think it works really well here.

Ken320 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Oh, no. This is all JW. There is a shift in the tonality using the four notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravels Radical Rivalry Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I REALLY like this. Never had a clue about the movie or the scores or anything. Love the open airiness and the old classic sophisticated feel this sound has. It is gorgeous. I do hear the seed of how this is John Williams. However, it is a stretch out somewhere else with Williams to write this way (don't mean it is hard for him rather that it is just a little different and not typical). It is even more beautiful then a lot of his other more commonly known stuff. Very interesting. Thanks for the share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
