Merlin BBC UK TV Show - Opinion Piece Part 5 - John Williams' Influence On Season 1 Soundtrack

You can listen to the soundtrack on Youtube. Refer link below:

Rob Lane's score for the BBC's Merlin Season 1 is an impressive soundtrack, especially when you consider that it's for a TV miniseries made prior to Game Of Thrones in 2008.

Prior to Game Of Thrones, music has always been seen as one of the least important aspect of TV shows instead as a complimentary component to the plot and Merlin does so masterfully.

Rob Lane is a pretty accomplished composer known for composing scores for period TV dramas such as The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002) Elizabeth I (2005), Jane Eyre (2006) , Tess of the D'Urbervilles (2008) and many others.

And while John Williams is a name most would not associate with the Merlin TV show, his influence is palpable.

"The Tournament Begins"

This has a very familiar march incorporated into it. It sounds very similar to the last minute of John Williams' "The Chess Game" track from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

"Meeting Arthur" / "Lady Helen Possessed"

Rob Lane borrows a note for note sequence - from John William's "Parade of the Ewoks" from Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

"The Magic Shield"

This music gives a nod and a wink to Raider's of the Lost Ark's track "In the Idol's Temple"

"Defeating the Afnac"

This is reminiscent of parts of Close Encounters of the Third Kind Suite.

It seems the creators were a huge fan of John Williams' music. I believe they specifically requested Rob Lane to step in and compose something in a similar vein for the series.

And before people start accusing Rob Lane of plagiarism, it should be noted that John Williams himself was no stranger to being inspired by other people's work.

Gustav Holst's The Planets suite was obviously the main inspiration for John Willliams' score for the original Star Wars movie.

Maybe there are parallels to be drawn between this and Merlin - in that Rob Lane is Merlin to John Williams' Kilgharrah. ROFLMAO

Rob Lane's genius lies in the fact he understood the assignment and the references to create something original, incredibly complex and beautifully orchestrated,

A soundtrack that will stand the test of time.

You should not read Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Because I found it deeply unenjoyable

I will not lie I had no plans to read this one mostly because I had no idea what it was about but having looked it up I still don't plan to read it ♥️ thanks for your expert opinion and why does the actress for the 2008 miniseries look like Zoe deschanel's body double

[internationalplayboysdotcom]

not to be a hater but the 2008 adaptation of tess of the d'urbervilles looks like utter dogshit

Hmmmm I wonder if the same person responsible for Eponine "the prostitute who attracts Marius" Thenardier is also responsible for Alec "sympathetic actually" d'Urberville.

THOMAS HARDY - 'TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES' (FIRST PUBLISHED 1891)

First sentence:

'On an evening in the latter part of May a middle-aged man was walking homewards from Shaston to the village of Marlott in the adjoining Vale of Blakemore or Blackmoor.' (Hardy, 2008, p.7).

On fate:

'Thus the thing began. Had she perceived this meeting's import she might have asked why she was doomed to be seen and marked and coveted that day by the wrong man, and not be a certain man, the exact and true one in all respects ... ' (Hardy, 2008, p.43).

On dawn:

' ... the marginal minute of the dark when the grove is still mute, save for one prophetic bird who sings with a clear-voiced conviction that he at least knows the correct time of day, the rest preserving silence as if equally convinced that he is mistaken.' (Hardy, 2008, p.49).

On the Church of England:

' "Sorrow, I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." ' (Hardy, 2008, p.94). ' " ... the last of the old Low Church sort, they tell me - for all about here be what they call High." '(Hardy, 2008, p.113).

'The High Church represents "the 'Catholic' side of the ... Church of England ... emphasizing the role of tradition, scaraments, and authority"; the Low Church or "Evangelical Church" represents an emphasis on the spiritual transformation of the individual by conversion and the 'serious' Christian life resulting therefrom"; while the Broad Church "deemphasized the doctrinal and ecclesiastical issues that separated" High and Low, by stressing "the national and inclusive character of the church" and opening it to advances in modern thought, particularly biblical criticism" (Mitchell, 361, 272-3. 93).' (Tim Dolin in Hardy, 2008, p.423).

On life:

' "This hobble of being alive is rather serious, don't you think so?" ' (Hardy, 2008, p.123). ' "And you seem to see numbers of to-morrows just all in a line, the first of 'em the biggest and clearest, the others getting smaller and smaller as they stand farther away ... " ' (Hardy, 2008, p.124).
