That final track (The Hidden World Suite) was just released on YouTube. Take a listen! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PjHbloc1eAw&feature=youtu.be Beautiful. Just beautiful. I love the music Powell has created for these fil You don't have to love these movies (or the music) to understand why people adore these scores. Don't many of you wish that there were more of these types of scores, with that grand, epic orchestral sound, in movies today? No. Not necessarily. Its the great themes and the arrangements -perfectly suited to the material - that make it such a classic. I don't think of it as " epic or orchestral " just great film music!

On Facebook the other day, Back Lot Music stated the following: "Pre-order the How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World soundtrack and get the bonus score suite instantly!" https://www.facebook.com/BackLotMusic/ (may not be accessible if you don't have a Facebook account) Has anyone pre-ordered this score and received the bonus suite? If so, where did you pre-order it from?

The more I listen to the suite, the more I'm amazed by the writing. There were many moments in the previous two scores that foreshadowed this direction toward purely symphonic writing but Hidden World takes that to a whole other level. The waltz for Toothless and the Light Fury is pure brilliance; what could be more fitting than a dance form to symbolize their courtship? The final section which features what I assume is the Hidden World theme (based on the short clip I heard from the soundtrack on iTunes of the same name) incites a plethora of chills down the back. It's powerful, majestic, but touched with an ever-so-delicate hint of melancholy given its dramatic/narrative implications. Reminds me of VW's most potent work in his symphonic series where he elevated English folk songs to truly profound heights. https://youtu.be/PjHbloc1eAw

On first listen It doesn't knock me out like the first two did - ON FIRST LISTEN! BRM

On first listen It doesn't knock me out like the first two did - ON FIRST LISTEN! BRM The last two theme groups are what really grabbed my attention. Give them another spin or two and I’m sure you will appreciate them more. It’s really nice to,hear overtly melodic and beautifully orchestrated music that recalls the greats like Ravel and the English composers.

It’s really nice to,hear overtly melodic and beautifully orchestrated music that recalls the greats like Ravel and the English composers. But I do not want composers to write like the old masters . I want a contemporary score that is melodic and well orchestrated. Like the first two combined the best of the old and new. This sounds , on first listen, uninspired. Like JEDI. Just my initial reactions. Brm
