SONYBMG RELEASES FIRST EVER STAR WARS SINGLE
?Battle of the Heroes?
Release date: May 23rd 2005
?Williams? dynamic use of choral vocals is spine-tingling, providing core theme Battle Of The Heroes with an apocalyptic punch? ? Danny Graydon, Empire Magazine
On May 23rd SonyBMG will release ?Battle of the Heroes? the principal theme to Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith - the sixth and final episode of the Star Wars saga. The single will be released in a limited edition numbered CD format, with artwork featuring characters from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
Composed by five-time Oscar winner John Williams this epic theme is a vigorously dynamic, choral-led piece which perfectly captures the fateful struggle between Jedi knights Anakin Skywalker and his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi. With Williams conducting, the London Symphony Orchestra (L.S.O) performs this opus - The L.S.O. is the same orchestra that recorded Williams? original Star Wars score 28 years ago and has continued to perform the score for each successive chapter of the saga.
The tracklisting will include the promo video which has been created by Lucasfilm and is taken from the exclusive collector?s DVD Star Wars: A Musical Journey. This DVD is included as a bonus disc with the Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith soundtrack CD, released on May 2.
?John Williams? score is top-notch?.quite possibly one of the finest pieces of music composed for any film, anywhere, ever? ? Catherine Bray, Hotdog Magazine
