You KNOW that something exciting is happening or about to happen, when all the flute players switch to piccolo ...

The people of the 1920s/30s/40s unfortunately missed this song, it would have been perfect for that time period.

[@yungjoshx]

I can imagine people from the Victorian era listening to this too

Finally, an orchestral recording of this song where people aren't clapping offbeat in the middle of it.

[@belindamelissa4909]

Listening to this jaunty tune over and over today because the orchestra doesn't play it live at the 'Star Wars in Concert' film series (apparently you can't play it with a regular orchestra 🤔)

[@articusramos808]

DM:The dingy bar had a scene of unsavory bunch of folk, from cutthroats, lowlifes, scoundrels and much more, but the band played some ear worm of a song. You all step into the space cantina named the smugglers' cove. With that out of the way, what do you all do?

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

Not "better," just different.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

@@viniciusmarcellino No, it isn't. John Williams always intended for it to be played by four guys, because that's how it's performed in-universe. The idea behind the piece was what it would sound like if aliens from the future discovered a Benny Goodman jazz piece and tried to interpret it. Calling this the "complete version" is second-guessing Williams.

[@StercoreOfficial]

Sounds like Wallace & Gromit music.

[@Starkiller-1138]

Had this been the version in the film, Han would never of shot first.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

Yes, he would've. He's Han Motherf*cking Solo! Where did you get the idea that the version of the tune used in the film would've had any impact on whether or not Han shot first? That just doesn't make sense.

no leave it to John willaims.. btw good but too much flute, or whatever xD

[@razcore]

I think also :)

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

You are in no position to demand that people "leave it to John Williams." There's no rule against making a different arrangement. Even Williams himself conducted this arrangement. And no, this doesn't have "too much flute." This is a jazz piece, and jazz uses a lot of flute.

[@bloodwolf6274]

[@Warpedsmac]

Yes. The tempo is wrong and it just doesn't swing. Felt wrong in the first few measures as I'm sure you felt too.

[@Warpedsmac]

It doesn't "swing" it's too halting...unsure, perhaps under rehearsed, can be a real problem with a big orchestra

Cool niet saai

[@effyleven]

Well, quite honestly, I don't think that was very good. It was a bit blurred and fuzzy in the middle.. and ragtime needs to be crisp and distinct in order to show how syncopated it is. Proof? Here is an Icelandic orchestra doing a MUCH better job. (Play from 1-10 to avoid preamble) kzbin.info/www/bejne/moCXn3qheaqZp8U And bear in mind it is 'phone footage.. and still a clearer sound than this.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

If you "don't think that was very good," then you're setting your standards unreasonably high. This is a fully orchestrated arrangement of a jazz-based tune.

[@effyleven]

​@imfsresidentotaku9699 I will admit that the orchestra did pretty well, considering the difficulty of so many instrumentalists endeavouring to remain so PRECISELY synchronised as this particular number requires. They made a valient effort, and that is to be applauded... All the same, I think this rendition demonstrates that the symphony orchestra is not the right 'instrument' for all kinds of music. To be honest, I find that massive church organs in massive reverberrant spaces, like, say, inside a cathedral, (just as a suggestion) also totally "scramble" the music being played.... but much MUCH worse than this orchestra trying to play this piece of ragtime. A pet hate is The Entry of the Queen of Sheba, which can be so bad as to be a completely muddled cacophony.... as if all the keys are being played at once.
