Heroic Energy
John Williams is composing the soundtrack for the first Tintin movie, Secret of the Unicorn but putting together a full orchestral score is not the work of one man. Conrad Pope, a long time collaborator with Williams is working on the orchestration of the score and spoke to the John William Fan Network.
I’m currently orchestrating a large piece with a number of ideas. The main theme is highly energetic, filled with great tonal twists and turns, reflecting, I suspect, Tintin’s heroic energy. It will become a classic, I think. To give more information would be to reveal things that I don’t think JW would want to say.
We are at the beginning of the process. The main scoring sessions are off in February.

I LOVE John Williams soundtracks! This is the best news I have heard in months! I can’t wait to hear it! The soundtrack to the animated series used to drive me crazy,especially since the same music was used for every episode. But that was a long time ago. I know JW can do better! He won’t let us down!
