The best film scores can stand on their own without the movie, and I listen to film scores as my background noise during work and often while I drive.<\/span><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> For years, I have wanted to travel to Europe to see Hans Zimmer conduct a concert live; he&#8217;s truly one of the best film composers of all time and perhaps can be compared to John Williams in influence.<\/span><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> When Hans Zimmer announced his North American tour, Sarah said &#8220;let&#8217;s go see him for your birthday this year!&#8221; He was performing in Chicago, but we both noticed that his Seattle performance was on my birthday &#8211; and Sarah has wanted to take me to Seattle because she has enjoyed that town so much.<\/span><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> I was giddy, and honestly, Seattle helped build my excitement; we had a fantastic time; I think I could spend a week in Pike Place Market just enjoying all of the vendors, and I could probably spend another two days photographing the Ghery designed Museum of Pop Culture. There&#8217;s no &#8220;opener&#8221; for Hans Zimmer, you sit in your seat waiting&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> I loved all of it, from the opening vocals from House Atreides, to the Wonder Woman suite, to the Pirates suite and everything in between; Hans has 30-50 different musicians on stage at a time to perform the various pieces. It&#8217;s part symphony orchestra, part vocal virtuosos, and part rock band &#8211; and each musician has been selected by Hans.<\/span><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> &#8230;But as the Man of Steel suite played &#8211; it moved me. The intensity and build of that score and the climax was an emotional experience for me; I was almost in tears. It was simply incredible &#8211; in a way that I can only feel through music.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> Oh, and the last performance (before the encore) is a Lion King medley. You have not experienced the Lion King until it is performed live by Lebo M with a chorus.<\/span><br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> (No, I don&#8217;t have a photo, no photo could hold a candle to the concert.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>film scores<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[675],"tags":[7934,7932,2570],"class_list":["post-28831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-writing","tag-hans-zimmer","tag-seattle-trip-oct24","tag-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28831"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28833,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28831\/revisions\/28833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
