Narnia Fans » Suite

Variety.com asked Harry Gregson-Williams, who served as composer for both The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian.  What he said about Narnia really shows the humility of the man.  I hope to one day get a proper interview with him.

Here, he recounts a memorable moment in his life as a composer:

“The hush as I picked up my baton before the first note of the concert I did with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra (a suite from ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’). That was totally thrilling and also incredibly alarming. What in heaven’s name am I doing here? I’m a film composer, not a concert composer. It was fantastic.”

Laura Zamzow was able to attend the World Premiere of the Chronicles of Narnia Suite last night. She sent us along some pictures from the event that she took in the lobby (as I’m sure no photography of any kind was allowed in the auditorium). The pictures are primarily props from the film. Very cool stuff. She also tells us about the concert itself. Read on!

As a fan of your site, I thought you might like to at least see some photos from the World Premiere of the Chronicles of Narnia Suite by Harry Gregson-Williams in Denver last night. In the lobby they had some props from the film including Peter’s sword and Father Christmas’s Robe.

The concert was wonderful-the suite was made up of all the main themes from the film and the highlight for everyone seemed to be the fourth movement: The Battle of Beruna. There were 3 screens in Boettcher Hall and they displayed still photos as well as clips from the film while the music was being played. Another highlight was a taped introduction by William Moseley and Anna Popplewell from the set of Prince Caspian.

I hope you enjoy the photos and thank you for creating this fun website!
