Duel Of The Fates of "Augie's Great Municipal Band" and the official Star Wars Funeral of Padme & Qui-Gon Jinn of Episode 1 & 3 : The Phantom Menace/The Revenge Of The Sith
Original Music Score composed by John Williams.
Well, I could understand if you don't like Episode I: The Phantom Menace that much. But The soundtrack is a better one than in the other movies. With these two themes created Williams masterpieces. Duel Of The Fates is my favorite Star Wars Theme of all time - BTW It's my favourite Epic song. I add the Funeral because the Choir is strong in this one and i get ghoosebumbs when I hear the cue.
"This choral piece, which has to do with the sword fight and comes at the end of the film, is a result of my thinking that something ritualistic and/or pagan and antique might be very effective."
―John Williams
"Duel of the Fates" is a musical theme composed by John Williams between October 1998 and February 1999 for the 1999 film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and its respective score. It was written to represent the duel in Theed between the Sith Darth Maul and the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn with his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi in the "Duel of the Fates" scene at the end of the movie. The composition was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) and the London Voices choir in February 1999 in EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London, England. The piece was used in all three of the prequel trilogy movies and included in the The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones soundtracks. The motif is used many times throughout video games, trailers, and numerous other pieces of Expanded Universe media, as well as in the music video trailer for The Phantom Menace, which includes footage of the theme's recording sessions.
The theme is mainly polyphonic, is in the key of E minor, and has a minor mode, a tempo of 152 bpm, and a duple meter with a time signature of 4/4. The composition, which lasts four minutes and fourteen seconds, contains lyrical Sanskrit chants translated from the Celtic epic Cad Goddeu.
"Duel of the Fates" is first played in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The "Duel of the Fates" scene, so named in the menus for the DVD version of the film, is the scene where the Jedi characters Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi duel the Sith Lord Darth Maul in the Plasma Refinery Complex on the planet Naboo. It is played in instrumental form as another major character, Queen Amidala, is ambushed along with her guards by battle droids with rolling capabilities and shields called droidekas in the Theed Hangar, and as Darth Maul and the Jedi activate their lightsabers at the commence of their duel. It is used again as the duel moves from the hangar to a generator complex. The cue comes to an end as plasma shields separate the three combatants for the first time. The original recording is used during the film's end credits.
In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, the piece is played when Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker travels across the surface of the planet Tatooine to search for his mother, Shmi Skywalker Lars, and rescue her from her captors, a tribe of a species called Tusken Raiders.
In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, "Duel of the Fates" is played for the final time during the middle of the film's climax as Darth Vader duels against his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, as well as during Yoda's attempt to kill Darth Sidious in the Senate Chamber in order to bring his reign to an end and save the Galactic Republic. The piece concludes as Yoda falls from the Chancellor's Podium.
Funeral Theme is a musical motif composed by John Williams heard in Episodes I and III. It is first heard briefly during Qui Gon's funeral in Episode I, and further developed in Episode III during the death of Padmé and the "rebirth" of Darth Vader in his suit. It is also heard during Padmé's funeral scene in Episode III, although here it is without the choir.
Nothing else to say: This is my personal favorite and I'm proud to present you the original on a synthesia. Yes there are versions on youtube, but they are not really complete - you will know what i mean.
Be excited and hear the video to end - It's the one which deserves it.
Salutations,
Jascha
