| | Patrick Doyle talks Potter music process
In a new interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Patrick Doyle, the Goblet of Fire composer, talks about the process of creating a soundtrack. Quote: Many people discovered your music recently through your score to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. What was that like? PD: It was extraordinary and it was great to work with Mike Newell again. I'd worked with the producer David Barron before, though not with David Heyman. I'd worked with Mike Newell on Into the West and Donnie Brasco.
John Williams wasn't available and initially the request was that I'd be working with John's material so I was a little hesitant. In the end it was just the Hedwig's Theme that I bought over. It was an honour to follow in the footsteps of such a great composer. If it had been non-stop thematic work it would have been a different story, but it was a very dark film, much darker than the previous ones, and I was able to address elements like Voldemort which kept things fresh. It was ultimately an opportunity for me to make my own stamp on this particular storyline.
There's a great tradition of composers working on other composers' material, so it was a great honour to work with John Williams' themes.
Of course, if nothing else, had I not done it my kids would have killed me!
Quote: It seems to be the case that the producers of Potter are keen that the creators they bring on board are free to leave their own mark on the franchise. PD: Oh absolutely, all the people involved were exciting. It was a legend and an honour. David Heyman is lovely in that sense.
Also, Mike's very strong and direct and I love all that. He was open for all sorts of try-this, try-that. I was available on and off for a year and so I was able to give him various options and really experiment and that really helped.
Quote: How does it tend to work as far as your involvement in the process? Are you brought on early or late in a film's production cycle? PD: The latter can be the case very often but with me it's usually the case that I'll involve as early as possible. And sometimes it's necessary; before Harry Potter started filming there was going to be music on-camera and so you had to start before filming. I had to work with the production team for Harry's Waltz, Neville's Dance and the Durmstrang boys' introduction.

Nice interview
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
