    Mmm... I don't dislike McCreary's score (in fact, it fits the series quite well!), but seeing it live?
    I think there are nowhere near enough melodic and cathartic highlights for a proper concert.

    Probably not, but it would be a very enjoyable concert. A bit like the Games in Concert thing. Nothing special concerning the performance or complexity, but fun.

    Um, disagree 100%!

    The Games Live concert I saw in London more than a year ago showed fantastic musicianship. The music was 'complex' too. So there.

    Not interested in this myself, but happy if it goes ahead, for the fans.

    A shame that "proper" film music concerts in London seem to have died at the same time as Jerry Goldsmith. I remember a year when JG did two concerts, Williams did four and Barry did three. Wow. Now, nothing like that.

    I'm going. Period.



    Now all they have to do is sign, plan, organise, invite, sell, prepare and play. Simple!

    But people care about a BSG Ballet..... Sure, then there must be an audience for just a concert too?

    Right? cry

  12. Hey Martijn,

    I actually went to that ballet and it was quite good. The music was superb of course (brought by a live orchestra with some Taiko drums in the background), and the dance was quite interesting as well.

    Now on top of that afterwards we had the chance to talk with Bear himself at the premiere after party which was open to everybody who had attended the premiere. Also present was his lovely fiancé/singer on almost all of his work Raya Yarbrough. She was utterly lovely to talk to as well.

    So yeah, maybe a bit disconcerting to be so in to that music, but knowing the composer is going to be there does help.

    Was it based on that thing they call 'modern dance'?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  14. It was a modern ballet, but not really modern dance...

    There was a neat sequence with staffs (the dancers used them as part of their act, but also as percussion instrument, playing part of what normally was played by Taiko's).

    The section of the ballet that used the Roslin and Adama theme mixed with the celtic flavoured Adama theme was a 'pas de deux' that was danced in an oversized sort of fish tank, filled with a little bit of water.

    It was a very emotional dance and perfectly fit the music.
