My god, this must be like the most interesting video Ive ever seen on TH-cam, as far as music analysis. You broke down every part of the score and showed examples of where theyre displayed and what they meant. You even explained how the scales relate to it. How on earth do you not have millions of subscribers? Well im subscribed now. This video is pure gold. What an analysis! Wow.
That’s incredibly nice of you to say. Glad you enjoyed it. For this video, some of the music analysis comes from Omni Music Publishing’s of the BTTF full score. My goal was to translate some of that analysis into an entertaining and easy to grasp visual medium. Thanks for watching!
@@jigowatts1304 Do you happen to make your own music? I've played for a buncha years, but am just now challenging myself again to learn piano, theory behind scoring films, and just more technical music in general. I'm bored of music that just stays in key. To me, its almost like music in ABCDEFG major or minor is boring now, and isnt even creative at all. Wanna break out of that prison of 8 options lol. But your video is amazing, also the visual for the explanation. I can tell it mustve taken a long time to put together. I'll have to watch it again. Wanna show my brother too.

There comes a time where you discover something great, unique and still in infancy. Great work, looking forward to more of such quality work and, of course, subscribed.
Thanks for watching and for the encouraging words! It definitely helps me to get energized to create more content, especially when a month goes by and I'm still working on a single video.
This is a fantastic analysis of back to the future music! Also the quality of this video is excellent. Immediately subscribed and shared on VI control forum!
I'm so glad you liked it! I've always been a fan of Back to the Future and thought Silvestri's contribution was nothing short of spectacular. But once I took a closer look, my appreciation grew even more. Thanks for watching!
Well done. Alan immediately became one of my favorite composers upon seeing this movie. Still is. Funny to consider anyone doubted his ability at one time.
what 440 subs? I thought I was watching someone with 1 million+. Everything was amazing, the editing, the writing, the thumbnail. I know this video is 2 years old but keep up the good work!
This is maybe the best analysis of a score I've ever seen about one of my all time favourite movies! Thank you so much for these worthwhile twenty minutes!
This video is absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much for making such an informative and in depth video that was broken down and explained exceptionally well. You’ve really hit the nail on the head about the small changes and variations on the main theme bringing a completely different feeling to the scene. I’ve really found a new appreciation for the already mighty film. Magnificent work. Thanks again.
Glad you liked it! A good part of the music analysis comes from Omni Music Publishing of the BTTF full score. My goal was to take some of those complex concepts and translate it into an entertaining and easily accessible visual format. Thanks for watching!!
I am reminded of West Side Story everytime, not just the “Maria” motive, but also the “Somewhere” motive in the quiet variation of the theme that turns the tritone into a perfect fourth. (around 10’15”)
ABSOLUTELY GREAT analysis, man! It's so educational and precise. You definitely should do more of this. I suggest another great Silvestri's score, which is the Predator. You can notice that, moreover, they're alike! Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for watching. There's a Hollywood Reporter composer roundtable. And it's all these amazing and popular composers. And I love it when they all start geeking out to Silvestri's Predator score.
Paolo, you said things that I sensed in the last 35 years. I knew all this in a fragmentary way, but your work transcribing the parts, placing them in the film and explaining everything masterfully is spectacular. I am very happy to have discovered your channel, I am already following you.
Thanks Francisco! I had a similar experience when I started my research. It was really fun discovering all the things I somewhat observed throughout the many years of watching BTTF.
Ik a bunch of people have said this, but WOW this video is so intricate and thoroughly well done!!! Definitely subscribing for more -- you have a gift! :D
Heard about this video from the podcast "Wizard and the Bruiser". Partway through watching I checked the channel info looking for more of the same, expecting a long list of previous film breakdowns and many thousands of subscribers - it came as a shock to find quite the opposite. What I'm saying is this is a thing of beauty. Not just your analysis but the editing, including text and graphical notation to help the viewer grasp things easily, with perfectly cut examples from the movie. All put together it's something I'd expect to see from a long-established channel that's grown immensely with time and experience. And that only means you've got great things ahead of you! 🎵🎶🍍
Thank you so much for your incredibly nice comment. It means a lot. A thanks for watching. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I did look up the podcast, and listened to it 😂. It was great!
Pal, I gave you two subs))) This video is perfect, no doubt. In my personal 250 top of English spoken movies, I'd put BTTF in the first tenth. The score is phenomenal. Modern soundtracks are filth for mind . Waiting for new videos!
Awesome video, thanks mate! I subscribed and liked for sure. Alan Silvestri's work on back to the future and Lalo Schiffrin's style are the 2 main pushes that made me fall into film music composing, so thanks for this analysis!
@@jigowatts1304 From Silvestri, I like "The Walk" (maybe the even more than the music). As for Schifrin, Bullit is huge of course! And when I think about him, the first things that come to my mind are "Enter the Dragon", all of his tunes with a blaxploitation/70's/funk touch mixed with the orchestra and "the wave" (because of the many but smooth change of metrics).
Great work! it's impressive how you managed to explain thematic elements with so much passion and with this kind of video quality. The analysis of the small bricks makes the house even more beautiful. Thank you
Thanks Simone for your kind words! I'm so glad my passion came across because a very important aspect of these videos is that they come across as an appreciation of great art. Completely agree with your bricks statement!
Woah, this is heavy! This is a truly well-researched, well-edited, well-explained video! Congrats to y’all guys!! It’d be great to see an analysis like this for the whole ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy
Is there something wrong with the earth's gravitational pull? 😂 You know, I actually love the music for the third film. Point of No Return is perhaps my favorite BTTF track.
Thank you for your reply! But I'm Japanese, so I can't apply on this site. There is no sale in Japan. So I am in great trouble. I play the piano in the orchestra.
Fantastic‼️ Next month I will play the piano part in an orchestra with one soundtrack of this movie. If you have an orchestra score, please show it. I am waiting for a good reply.
If you're looking for an orchestral score, I would absolutely recommend Omni Music's release. It was my main resource for information on this video omnimusicpublishing.com/product/alan-silvestri-back-to-the-future-full-orchestral-score/. Thanks for watching and good luck with your performance!
Okay, this is a well-done video and all, but you clearly just presented the analysis found at the front of the Omni Music Publishing score for the film-even used their exact examples, copied straight from the score-without crediting them for their work.
Hey Andrew, thanks for watching! Correct, a good amount of the analysis is provided by the great work of Omni Music Publishing. That's why I listed it as a resource and provided a link where people can purchase it. My goal was to make a visual adaptation of the analysis, as well as provide further background of the making of the film, to hopefully make it more accessible and/or entertaining for the casual fan. Hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for this analysis! It really helped me to notice the depth of the score and all the little elements that tie it together.
Not sure how this only has 3651 views.... Keep up the amazing work man!
Thanks for adding one more view! 😄
Awesome work! You have perfectly shown why this soundtrack fits the movie. Many techniques I haven't realized.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
BRILLIANT analysis! One of my favorite movies and favorite scores. Bravo! So well done!
It was a huge work constructing this video!!!!!!
Might say I'm totally in accordance with every word of yours!

This is a great analysis. Congrats! I'm waiting for more beautifully explained music. Thanks for this!

Thanks for watching Gyula! I'm curious, what are some topics/films you might want to see covered?

excellent analysis; especially the gear-shift modulation analogy.

Do You Think You Would be able to do the Back to the Future 2 Score Analysis? 🙂
thanks for putting effort and making this vid. it really helps me to study for my uni admission exams
That's so awesome to hear! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and good luck on the exams!
Thanks! This is absolutely awsome! 👍🎶✨
high quality video and educational thanks!
🙏 thank you so much for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed it
he should in the masterclass series
Excelente video. Muchas gracias por el analisis. Bravo!!
Mil gracias! Me alegra mucho que te gustó 😃
This was a very well produced video man, great work! Can’t wait to see what you do in the future if this is what you have at 100 subs. 👏 Subbed!
Thanks Ricky! I hope I can speed up the process on my end so I can increase the frequency/amount of videos. Wish me luck! 😂
This analysis is really well thought out and informative. I really enjoyed it. Also, 15:41 I think “piano” is “paino” lol
Mind blown!
Great Scott! That's heavy 😂
Great video!!! Alan is a master.
Honestly. Silvestri's career is so impressive. What are your favorite Silvestri scores?
@@jigowatts1304 Predator, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Forrest Gump and the Avengers theme are all tops for me. BTTF does seem like his most iconic.
@@TheVinylScore yeah, those are among my fav as well. The other ones I love are Van Helsing and Contact.
Welp see you guys when he has 100k.subscribers!
😂 that would definitely be awesome. Thank you so much for watching!
@@jigowatts1304 No Problem! :)
The Secondary Main Theme is use to build up to time travel as well.

Funny how he says : “interval”... Never heard it pronounced stressing the second syllable...
Praise goody. Skor
