My god, this must be like the most interesting video Ive ever seen on KZread, as far as music analysis. You broke down every part of the score and showed examples of where theyre displayed and what they meant. You even explained how the scales relate to it. How on earth do you not have millions of subscribers? Well im subscribed now. This video is pure gold. What an analysis! Wow.

@@jigowatts1304 Do you happen to make your own music? I've played for a buncha years, but am just now challenging myself again to learn piano, theory behind scoring films, and just more technical music in general. I'm bored of music that just stays in key. To me, its almost like music in ABCDEFG major or minor is boring now, and isnt even creative at all. Wanna break out of that prison of 8 options lol. But your video is amazing, also the visual for the explanation. I can tell it mustve taken a long time to put together. I'll have to watch it again. Wanna show my brother too.

There comes a time where you discover something great, unique and still in infancy. Great work, looking forward to more of such quality work and, of course, subscribed.

One of my favorite movies and scores of all time. Loved your analysis! Amazing breakdown!!!

Thank you so much for this analysis! It really helped me to notice the depth of the score and all the little elements that tie it together.

Well done. Alan immediately became one of my favorite composers upon seeing this movie. Still is. Funny to consider anyone doubted his ability at one time.

Superb video, very entertaining, very insightful. Really enjoyed!

I am reminded of West Side Story everytime, not just the “Maria” motive, but also the “Somewhere” motive in the quiet variation of the theme that turns the tritone into a perfect fourth. (around 10’15”)

he should in the masterclass series

Heard about this video from the podcast "Wizard and the Bruiser". Partway through watching I checked the channel info looking for more of the same, expecting a long list of previous film breakdowns and many thousands of subscribers - it came as a shock to find quite the opposite. What I'm saying is this is a thing of beauty. Not just your analysis but the editing, including text and graphical notation to help the viewer grasp things easily, with perfectly cut examples from the movie. All put together it's something I'd expect to see from a long-established channel that's grown immensely with time and experience. And that only means you've got great things ahead of you! 🎵🎶🍍

Okay, this is a well-done video and all, but you clearly just presented the analysis found at the front of the Omni Music Publishing score for the film-even used their exact examples, copied straight from the score-without crediting them for their work.

Hey Andrew, thanks for watching! Correct, a good amount of the analysis is provided by the great work of Omni Music Publishing. That's why I listed it as a resource and provided a link where people can purchase it. My goal was to make a visual adaptation of the analysis, as well as provide further background of the making of the film, to hopefully make it more accessible and/or entertaining for the casual fan. Hope you enjoyed it!

Funny how he says : “interval”... Never heard it pronounced stressing the second syllable...
