John Williams's Jedi Steps (post-James Joyce Variations)
First James Joyce had produced "Finnegans Wake", a cryptic text that drew attention from Joseph Campbell, the author of "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", from which George Lucas then borrowed heavily to draft his "Star Wars" story. Taking a more direct step from James Joyce to Star Wars: I seek out sequences of relevant letters in "Finnegans Wake" to turn them into respectively pitched musical notes so that they should echo various themes composed by John Williams for the Star Wars soundtrack. Here for example, a set of short takes on "Jedi Steps" from "The Force Awakens", SW episode 7. The source letter sequences: Var. 1: "aedhaheadecdbdabedadbehfechagaec" Var. 2: "DagDgDgDgDgeaheagabe" Var. 3: "adgegaadaabbadbbeadadedeeheceefhacaeceegffhcehchaagecagfdheadaebedhbeadcbceadfeeghffa" Var. 4: "beaeheaafeeeadefahehahehheceaebeaeafachaeeaahefaeheae" The source passages of "Finnegans Wake": Var. 1 [FW 149.04-06]: "[guff]alled quith a quhimper, made cold // blood a blue mundy and no bones without flech, taking kiss, // kake or kick" Var. 2 [FW 377.35-36]: "Dang! Ding! Dong! // Dung! Dinnin. Isn't it great he is swaying above" Var. 3 [FW 430.26-30]: "and smilingly smelling, pair and pair about, broad // by bread and slender to slimmer, the nice perfumios that came // cunvy peeling off him (nice!) which was angelic simply, savouring // of wild thyme and parsley jumbled with breadcrumbs (O nice!) // and feeling his full fat" Var. 4 [FW 590.06-08]: "beaten wheat, not after Sir Joe Meade's father, thanks! // They know him, the covenanter, by rote at least, for a chameleon // at last, in his true falseheaven"
