A Fall From Light To Dark (Anakin's Story)
Music by John Williams - Transcribed for Trombone Choir by James Nova
James Nova, Trombone(s)





James Nova, trombonist in the Pittsburgh Symphony orchestra, has released a new album for trombone choir, A Fall from Light to Dark. Through the chosen moments of John Williams� masterful scores, this album musically chronicles the rise and descent of Anakin Skywalker as he transforms into Darth Vader.

Jim has had a lifelong love of John Williams� film scores since his Dad took him and his brother to see The Empire Strikes Back in the theater. Throughout his career he has performed and recorded with John Williams on several occasions, with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops as well as the Utah Symphony.

In 2012, Jim was preparing for another season with the Pittsburgh Symphony and thought a fun way to get into shape would be to overdub (or �Novadub�) one of his John Williams trombone choir transcriptions. He chose his transcription of the Superman March as his first effort. He posted it on SoundCloud. Fast forward to now and his SoundCloud page has passed 600,000 listens! He decided it was time to make an actual commercial album and set out learning the art of mixing and mastering, which brings him to this project: A Fall from Light to Dark.

Some of you may think, �trombone choir?� Trombone choir is a rich and varied color ensemble capable of powerful, crushing, devastating and also tender, introspective, delicate moments. This album demonstrates the power of John Williams� scores and how they translate so well to this medium.

All transcriptions, playing, recording, editing, mixing and mastering by James Nova.

This looks interesting! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the share. Appreciate your work.

Guys, I know I'm the pot calling the kettle black - but this is some guy's passion project. He wants $10 for it. I bought it yesterday, legitimately. It's worth it. Please consider doing so yourself.

I know I'm sharing his work here but I agree, please buy the album if you can (like I did) and support his hard work. He may get more attention about this album here than anywhere else...it's $10, go buy it and support him.
I understand it's stupid sharing it and then asking people to buy the album but please, if you enjoy it pay the guy.

Brilliant share! Thanks very much. :)

Thanks a lot!!!

So then remove the link! What you just said is a huge contradiction.

Every time a new LLL disc is released, you are the FIRST to post it. And in record time. I don't know how, but you do. You always say "buy the CD", in your threads and yet you post the link. This makes absolutely no sense. If I were mod I'd have this thread nuked and ban you for 3 days. See if maybe your whole contradictory thought process came full circle and you realized what you're doing.

Why don't you apply that logic to literally every release in this place? This is a piracy forum.

Ah I knew you'd be here to say that. Yes, it's a piracy forum. Tell me, who's going to sell more copies of their latest CD: James Nova or Hans Zimmer?

There is simply no defense for KevinG when he touts to buy the CD yet posts the link. Especially when it's some guy nobody's ever heard of and all he's asking for is $10.

I'm just saying it's bullshit to cry wolf for a pirated thing in a piracy forum. By that logic, just do it with everything else in this forum.

This shouldn't be pirated, because it isn't that good anyway. Sure, I can see the effort put into it easily giving it a listen (legally in TIDAL, didn't download the link) but like.. not that fantastic sounding to me either, but that's only my opinion, not saying it's shit, just nothing special outside of the amazing work put into it by the dude.

Thanks.
