#DUEL OF THE FATES FULL VERSION#

'Duel of the Fates' can be heard in a number of Star Wars video games, including Star Wars Episode I: Racer, The Clone Wars, Lego Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith video game, Star Wars: Empire at War, Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Angry Birds Star Wars II. For this instance, John Williams re-recorded the choir and layered it over the vocal-less recording from Episode I.

вЂњDuel of the FatesвЂќ makes an appearance during the Yoda/Sidious fight scene. However, he decided not to use it mainly because it did not match the tragic mood of the duel between Obi-Wan and Vader. Lucas had expressed in a documentary of The Phantom Menace that he wanted to use вЂњDuel of the FatesвЂќ in Star Wars: Episode III вЂ“ Revenge of the Sith as he liked the feeling of the work.

The piece ' Battle of the Heroes', which was played in Star Wars: Episode III вЂ“ Revenge of the Sith, during the battle sequence between Yoda and Darth Sidious in the senate chamber on Coruscant, and the simultaneous battle between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, had a piece of 'Duel of the Fates', but rewritten in a tragic mode. ДЄn abridged version is played in Star Wars: Episode II вЂ“ Attack of the Clones when Anakin Skywalker used a swoop bike to search for his mother.

The beginning portion used on the soundtrack is replaced with the beginning of a separate track titled Qui-Gon's Noble End however, the full version of the original recording is used during the film's end credits. The music had its debut during the final lightsaber duel between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I вЂ“ The Phantom Menace. For Episode I, John Williams recorded a choirless version of 'Duel of the Fates', then recorded the choir performing on its own, then layered the vocals over the choirless recordings. Williams compared the setting of the battle to a pagan altar, and that the duel itself 'seems like a dance or a ballet, a religious ceremony of some kind, probably ending in the death of one of the combatants'. John Williams stated the chorus was introduced to give a religious, temple-like feel to the epic lightsaber duel. The translation was loose and Williams arranged it by ear, while rearranging the syllables, so the pronunciation of the Sanskrit is not accurate and the meaning of the stanza is lost in the actual singing.ДЄlthough Williams conducted 'Duel of the Fates' to appear as a concert suite in the end credits (rather than the film), Williams did record similar cues using the ostinato motif, and in one instance, a 'cut down' version, labelled the 'Great Duel'. The lyrics are based on a fragment of an archaic Welsh poem Cad Goddeu ( Battle of the Trees), and sung in Sanskrit. The symphonic piece is played with both a full orchestra and a choir. 'Duel of the Fates' was composed by John Williams and recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) and the London Voices for the Star Wars: Episode I вЂ“ The Phantom Menace film soundtrack. Дuel of the Fates was also used as the title of a working script by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly for Star Wars: Episode IX (2019). 'Duel of the Fates' lasted 11 days on the countdown. With the music video for this theme, the LSO became the only classical group to ever have a video debut on MTVвЂ™s Total Request Live. The piece debuts during the final lightsaber duel in Star Wars: Episode I вЂ“ The Phantom Menace. This symphonic piece is played with both a full orchestra and a choir. It was composed by John Williams and recorded for the film soundtrack of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace by the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) and the London Voices.
