![]() ![]() Haddock’s Theme is at the core of the score for me. The theme is sometimes backed by piano appears often throughout the beginning of the CD (appearing in tracks 2 through 6), and even gets its own concert arrangement featuring lengthy piano solos punctuated by string runs that sums up the theme just as you’re getting settled into things. Williams has written another great animal theme for Tintin’s canine sidekick Snowy has his own theme, the notes rising up and up reminding you of a yipping dog. The two halves of the theme almost act like a 5-note call and a 6 note answer, almost always playing back to back. Tintin’s Theme is the most versatile of the score’s many themes, getting its own jazzy concert arrangement ( The Adventures of Tintin), an Indiana-Jones-esque action variation ( Escape From The Karaboudjan, The Pursuit of the Falcon), and a general “off to the next location!” / “moving the story along” version (“ The Flight To Bagghar”). In fact, let’s go over the themes I’ve discovered for now – as I seem to pick up on new ones every time I listen to the CD! I think I counted no less than 10 different themes over the course of the 65 minute soundtrack album, weaving in and out of exciting action riffs, gorgeous orchestrations that put you right into various locations around the world in seconds, mysterious legend-exploring passages, character-defining moments, and virtuoso concert arrangements that must have left every orchestra member desperate to catch their breath! Balancing out everything you’d expect in a good globe-trotting adventure are moments of true comedy, thanks to the themes for Captain Haddock and the bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson. It’s been 3 and a half long years since the last new full John Williams film score… and in one over-far-too-soon new Original Soundtrack CD, the Maestro reminds us why he is not only one of the best composers the world of celluloid has ever seen, but one of the most versatile as well. Move over, young composers of the day – the Master is back. ![]() ![]() Enjoy!Įxclusive “The Adventures of Tintin” soundtrack review ![]() JWFAN proudly presents the first online review of The Adventures of Tintin soundtrack album!
