Score: the Choral piece

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

The choral piece that was in the movie is not on the soundtrack ( ). Can anyone tell me what they are singing and what they lyrics are?

I asked a friend this same question about Duel of the Fates in The Phantom Menace and he sent me this great link all about that choral piece:

I am hanging out to know what the choral piece was in STXI.

"WAIT!!!"

The Choral piece is on "Nero Death Experience" on the soundtrack. However I'm sure there is at least one other place it appears.

A bunch of googleing has yet to show me the lyrics.

Don't know about the choral piece; but if someone'd like to see an actual chorus singing the score, I'm reposting the link to the You Tube clip of the Vídeo del Festival Internacional de música de Cine "Ciudad de Úbeda" 2009, Concierto sinfónico in Spain.

I get chills every time I watch this. Not sure if it's actually Giacchino conducting or not; the notes don't say. But many thanks to the person who took the video and posted it! This is at least a second one posted, which includes a bit more applause at the end.

I could swear that at one point in the choral piece they are singing, "SINGING THIS SONG!!!!!" or something like that. It is so bizarre!

I love that video of the orchestra playing Enterprising Young Men.

On a music-related note: my husband was looking for the track of the bar music, the one that starts with the overhead view when Uhura is driving up to it in her ground car.

It's apparently not on the CD, but he found a track of it online, which I will post as soon as he appears downstairs here and sends me the link. Don't know if someone has already found that and posted it, but it probably bears reposting.

Thanks Jeri! One of those goofy little things that i love about the movie...when she walks into the bar the music gets louder. Such a stupid thing, but i love that part!

I wish the music used for the trailer was in the movie, but it's not....it's a piece the trailer company (Two Steps from Hell) uses for many of it's trailers. I never even knew such a company exisited. I thought the studio did them.

I found out from watching "The Holiday," that trailer producers are a separate industry. Cameron Díaz's character owns her own trailer production company.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Really?? That's interesting. Wonder what got her into that area? i never knew there were 'trailer companies'. Whoda thunk it? The Two Steps From Hell site is really interesting. i went through it a few weeks back.

 

[Jeri]

Well, apparently it is big business, judging by the character's house! I would luuuuuuv that house.

I've been looking everywhere for that one. If you do get the link, please post it.

I listened to it, and it's just a few seconds long. It's not a whole tune; rather just taken from the movie, downloadable from megaupload:

I never believed it until I searched for the trailer music myself for the movie. If you look through the backlog of threads here you might be able to find the thread asking about it.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

^ Thanks! I did that...that is how i discovered trailer companies. Its so interesting! I always figured the production companies had divisions that did them in-house, you know? I wonder if the trailer company picks the bits of video too, or do they just put the video to music?

Its a damn shame the music used in the trailer isn't available (or better, on the dvd). I LOVE that piece!

 

[Jeri]

It seems like putting together a good trailer is a talent apart from movie making that some specialists can capitalize on.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Definitely! I mean, we've heard from people on the BBS say that the trailer alone convinced them (or friends of theirs) to see the movie. It's it's own art! What a cool job, eh? And didn't someone recently post that the ST trailer won an award?

God, where was i when these jobs were being created???

 

[Jeri]

Do you want to do that? And did you ever find the tune from the STXI trailer?

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Hell, i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up!

Never found the music by itself, but listened to it at the TSFH site and on Youtube etc along with the trailer.

They do seem to be singing syllables in places, but I've never seen anyone who was able to make actual words of it.

Hell, i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up!

You, too?

LOL even though I own the dvd I still watch the trailers.. they really are little pieces of art.

TEACAKE, the trailers were amazing. Especially the third one. Have you noticed the differences between the scenes used in the trailer as opposed to the ones actually used in the movie? I liked the trailer ones better. Off the top of my head there was the scene between Nero and Kirk ("James T Kirk was a great man"), the one of Spock at Kirk's hearing at the academy ("You will experience fear")...and one or two more that are escaping me at the moment.
