All That Remains guitarist Jason Richardson has delved into the Wizard World with his cover of John Williams‘ “Hedwig’s Theme“, a theme featured throughout the ‘Harry Potter‘ film franchise. Speaking on tackling this song, Richardson offered:
“I’m so excited to finally have this coming out after working on it for so long. I’ve always wanted to hear this iconic piece from John Williams arranged this way. Studying his music has been such a tedious but unbelievably rewarding and informative journey! I was psycho enough to get my hands on a conductor’s book of the orchestra score. I read and recreated the entire thing from the ground up, note-for-note so I could have the entire orchestra in the song as well!
Once I did that, I went in and figured out all the guitar, bass and drum parts I wanted, while still trying to maintain the dynamics and spirit of his music, but with my own spin on it.”
Brian Raess directed the below video for the song:
