Well if you check out the new Spectre full length trailer. You can hear OHMSS loud and clear. Wonder if the riff will be featuring in the end result?
Barrys estate. I think if you did some reasearch would would find that EON/Danjaq retain rights to all imagery and audio. All Barry would get is his MUPC and PRS payments. Only for only 4 years then OHMSS and the music attached to that film will be public domain after 50 years 2019.
Where did you hear that if I may ask?
While I can't imagine any (but maybe a passing nod) of the score to OHMSS in SP, it was very good to hear this theme again. Nice surprise. It's one of the greats.
Newman will bring the goods for SP. The doubters will be silenced.
What did you make of the theme at 0:19? I do think it sounds a tad 'spoofy', or like a video game.
As in the first teaser, the glockenspiel-like Sound we hear when we see Oberhauser at the Meeting is inspired.
The rest is someone not used to loud scores trying to be loud.
After SF I didn't want Newman to return and although the music for the trailer was exclusive only for the trailer I liked what I heard and if Newman took the time and effort to recreate Barry's arguably best score, then it does seem that Newman this time around has got his mind right.
However, I'm still sceptical because trailer music is one thing, especoally when you use someone else's masterpiece music as part of it but an entire score for a movie is another. I really do hope Newman gives us something wholly special and memorable.
Have to disagree. I thought the music was spot on.
Thanks for posting.
There has been a lot of complaints here over the last little while that Newman's music is timid (elevator music is the most common criticism).
Well, I didn't hear any elevator music in that clip. There is significant 'punch' in the trailer music, and we seem to have it all thrown in (Classic Barry OHMSS for those who say Newman is not respecting the legacy, Bond theme for those who have been clamouring for it, throwbacks to the amazing techno thumping from the SF teaser trailer etc). It's almost as if Newman has been reading these boards and is responding to the naysayers and Arnold fanboys.
Mark my words. There will be no complaints when this score is released. I'm sure of it.

Here's also a great one from the teaser trailer. Still gripping piece of music:
The music for all of the Craig trailers thus far has been done by Pfeiffer Broz. I don't think it was done by Newman. Although if it was, I agree with you.
I agree completely. This is just a trailer and I don't think it's appropriate to jump on the music either way.
Let's wait for the finished product before passing judgement on the musical score. To do otherwise seems to suggest a desire to indict Newman before the fact, which is unfair imho.
That may be true, but many of us liked the score as well, and found it a refreshing change from Arnold's attempts at Barry imitation. I just find it inappropriate to be jumping on the trailer music, and by extension Newman, when he has only had one shot at Bond. Even more so when we know that his orchestral budget was deeply cut for SF compared to the comparatively wasteful QoS.
If they give him the budget and the time to do a proper job, he will not disappoint. From what I've been hearing, he has had time to work on and perfect this score, so we will see what Newman can do with SP.
I just don't get all the hatred against this very fine composer. He's one of the best composers nowadays.
