John Williams has written over 40 different pieces to be recorded for the score of Revenge of the Sith. Over the next week or two, he and the London Symphony Orchestra will be performing this music. The order the tracks are recorded are not chronological, nor are the cue labels anything like they will be on the soundtrack. Today, the orchestra began recording the theme between Anakin and Padme, as they are bearing the burden of war, in a cue entitled "Padme's Visit". The theme will contain a low tone from the famous Imperial March. Next, the cue played during the epic duel with Dooku in the beginning of the movie is recorded, a frenzy of aggressive music that lacks a real central theme based with any characters. A load of percussions and cymbals add to the lightsaber duel. A fierce roll of the timpani silences the orchestra, followed by strings filling the space that accompanies an eerie silence. Williams and his leading musicians then review the recordings in the control room, and make changes for additional takes, mostly in trouble spots. Next, the orchestra plays a cue entitled "Palpatine's Seduction", filled with low tones, that underlies the conversations between Anakin and Palpatine in the movie. This scene then ends with the Emperor's theme, sans choir, ending with a cymbal roll that labels the switch between this scene and the events on Utapau, with Obi-Wan and General Grievous. George Lucas loves the tones, especially the dark moments, he comments. "Heroes Collide" is recorded next, the start to the duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. It is an entirely new theme, with an emphasis on the brass instruments. At one point, the music mirrors the scene in The Empire Strikes Back, when Darth Vader telekinetically bombards Luke with all sorts of objects and then blows out the window. This must be the scene described in the earlier spoiler report where Anakin is Force throwing things at Obi-Wan. At this moment, there is a grand performance of the Imperial March. The Force theme comes out as both combatants are trying to push each other away, but the music is strained, mirroring the struggle in both duelists. Lucas points out that they are lacking an important theme, the expected "Duel of the Fates" theme. Williams smiles and says "That comes later. In the big duel." This probably means the very end of the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel, or the epic Yoda/Palpatine duel. Contrary to their schedule, they record an additional 4 cues. "Another Happy Landing" labels the scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan land on Coruscant after the heated space battle overhead, in a crashing Trade Federation cruiser. "Yoda's Fall" accompanies the escape of Jedi Master Yoda after the duel with Palpatine, where he is rescued by Senator Bail Organa. "Revisiting Padme" is then recorded, detailing a reunion between Anakin and his secret wife, Padme. It has part of the love theme from Attack of the Clones still, but with a twist. Williams then records a secret theme, left for the 7th reel of the film, the title unrevealed as to not spoil the majority. On a sidenote, Hayden Christensen attented the recording session, as well did Frank Oz, who still has some loop lines to rerecord this weekend. Finally, the main title won't be recorded, but a previous version will be used in the film.
