The Last Jedi Soundtrack Musical Analysis: Track 13 – The Sacred Jedi Texts

12/30/2017

1 Comment

 
0:00-0:34 Force theme, horn, 1st and 2nd phrases, D minor as Rey departs Ahch-To island.

0:34-0:45
Yoda's theme. Yoda's ghost appears. Luke: “I'm going to burn it all down.”

Next in the film, the 1st phrase and a revised 3rd phrase of the Force theme is heard in the trumpet. But I believe this comes from track 14 at the 1:17 mark – not from track 13. This music is heard as Yoda sets fire to the sacred tree and texts.

0:45-1:04 incidental scary brass followed by a weak flute. Not heard in film.

1:04-2:09
Force theme, trumpet, loudly, A minor, 1st and 2nd phrases. This was replaced by another iteration of the Force theme (played by a horn) in the film. I don't yet know from where this horn iteration was borrowed.

2:09-2:40 Force theme, solo horn, quietly, C# minor, 1st and 2nd phrases.

2:40-end Yoda's theme, cello, C major. Much dialogue over this music. Luke: “I can't be what she needs me to be.” Yoda: “The greatest teacher failure is.”

Virgil Thomson: “I’ve never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down.
