Hymn to the Fallen by John Williams (reduction and analysis) 

I can never get enough of that lush and heartfelt trombone section solo in the beginning. It moves me everytime.

The tuba solo with brass at 2:12 is my favorite section in the whole piece. Just plain beautiful.

Bar 63, with the string counterpoint is absolutely enchanting.

Such a beautiful piece. I never imagined I'd get a chance to look at the score. I like how slowly the piece builds up, never really going above piano (mezzo-piano at the most) until the big buildup. It's like John Williams wanted to leave us to our thoughts and wrote his music to be a sort of backdrop to them. Anyway, thank you! Keep up the good work. I fully intend to become a patron come the start of the month.

One of Williams's masterworks. Great analysis. Really enjoyed it.

This was very emotional for me. Thank you very much.

Glorious. Thank you.

At 3:58 it begins to dramatically pick up.... True Greatness Indeed ....

Totally amazing! Absolute genius! I like Copland influence very much! So “american”...

See, Tony. 1:54 - 2:45. That's it. That's the kind of brass I want to write!

I like how the analysis just stops cause, well, it's clearly magic.

So wonderful Thank you

If you used a figured bass, it would really remind me of Bach. ; ) jk, it already does in a few ways. edit: But then again, I don't think Bach would have broken all the voice-leading rules Williams does, nor used the same chord progressions, I guess that's what makes him modern though. And honestly, I don't know a composer who likes whole step modulations more than Mr. John Williams. does.

Sublime!!!

Stunning work!! have you already analyzed some Morricone's piece?

One nit: in m. 34 you say CM7 (4th inversion). There is no 4th inversion in seventh chords. Only three inversions.

72 and 73 were a bit confusing.

Dedicated to a dear friend, Diane.

John Williams is great composer, but - god damn it, boy - is this an uninteresting piece of music. Great transcription, btw.
