I saw the movie and to my ears only one Giacchino reference made it into the movie….
Mix seemed great to my ears. The movie wears the score loudly and proudly. What I assumed is a new theme for Strange is actually a theme for America Chavez, and there’s a different theme for Strange. Need to spend more time with it to really break it all down.
‘A Cup of Tea’, a track I thought I’d probably rarely come back to, is absolutely brilliant in context.
Anyway…I’m really starting to get into the synths in this. It’s almost like Goldsmith when they’re used to supplement the action material, but the angry, moody stuff feels like it’s from a Carpenter score sometimes.
It’s so…meanspirited? Put that energy to better use, kids.
But it’s the double standards of it all. They lambast Elfman for ditching Zimmer’s Batman theme for Justice League, and then when Junkie scores the Snyder Cut he…ditches Zimmer’s Batman theme. Nada. Nothing when Zimmer ditched all previous material when he took over X-Men, Spider-Man….
Danny does read his messages (and he clearly searches his own name on Twitter, too), so hopefully he shrugs it all off. People who have seen the movie seem to love the score in context.
Raimi on why he wanted Elfman to score.

“I loved Michael Giacchino’s Doctor Strange music and I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to work together but I need Danny Elfman by my side,” Raimi tells us. “He’s like my long-lost brother and he’s really a storyteller. He helps me tell the story with his music, but it was wonderful. He loved the Doctor Strange theme and incorporated it into his musical score which was so funny for me because that composer incorporated some of Danny’s pieces into [Spider-Man] No Way Home.”

Sam Raimi says he and Danny Elfman worked on a sequence dubbed as “the music battle” for #MultiverseOfMadness!

Elfman briefly discusses the score here.

Yeah, people are absolutely loving it.
And, yes, 90% of tweets about it are full of thirst for Danny. What a time.
Scores gets nothing these days; they get dumped on the usual download sites with no fanfare.
With this being so high profile, we might get a track or two released as promo.
Sound clips
This was so good. There were no brass or woodwinds – just a few extra percussionists and tje string section. The last movement is absolutely relentless.
The response was very, very warm and there was an enthusiastic standing ovation at the end. Danny was there (sat three rows ahead of me) and I caught he and Currie being giddy together in the hall when the concerto had finished.
Renowned percussionist Colin Currie will take the stage along with an impressive battery of instruments – some specially commissioned by him for the piece – in Elfman’s new Percussion Concerto on March 25 at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Ludwig Wicki will conduct the London Philharmonic Orchestra, who jointly commissioned the piece with Soka Performing Arts Center at Soka University. The latter stages the US premiere next month.
The Concerto is cast in four movements – Triangle; D.S.C.H; Down; Syncopated – and promises real spectacle across its 25-minute runtime. In addition to the soloist’s extensive collection of instruments – the score lists 12, including an assortment of pots and pans and a metal ‘gizmo’ – five orchestral percussionists will add to the excitement.

Going to see this next week.
I’ve just listened to the cue several times (on my laptop and my iPod!), and the version is definitely different. The version I have has no choir during the statement of Colette’s theme (or if it’s there, it’s truly buried in the mix), the transition from the circus stuff to the Dumbo stuff runs longer (this version is 4:37 mins) and the mixing just seems different in general. Is this Youtube version the one you all have? I was thinking I was losing it, but it’s 100% different. I bought the CD and ripped it btw.
This version of the last cue is different. Superior in some ways, inferior in others. Film mix?
Score is still terrific btw. Dumbo’s theme is a real keeper.
