Chords for Brian Tyler - Universal Studios Centennial Logo Behind the Scenes

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The Universal logo's been around for so long,
and it's so iconic.
_ _ My task was to take on this great theme
and do something new with it.
_ _ [Eb] We want to utilize the classic melody that we all know
and bring it into the 21st century,
but [Cm] still really be [Gb] respectful of what Jerry Goldsmith
had originally written.
Okay, [B] let's roll it.
I want it to be [E] a celebration of all the great movies
Universal's [Eb] done over the years. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Connecting the past with the present,
the main line that we've always heard in the horns,
that's still there, _ _ _
_ _ but you have the movement of the music underneath [C] it.
_ _ [Eb] _ I had a few sneak peeks at the visuals
that were being worked [Gb] on,
the globe coming [Fm] in and the letters spinning [G] around
and seeing [Bm] the cityscapes.
_ [E] That was a huge influence for me, to [Bb] add choir.
_ [Bbm] _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
[Bb] There's also kind of a [Db] sparkly, shimmery type of [Cm] thing
throughout the [Dbm] piece that I've done with [Ebm] violins.
_ [Gbm] _ _
[Fm] It gives it [Eb] kind of the magic feel. _ _
And at the end of the piece, I have a whole drum cadence.
The thing that I think [D] people really latch onto
is the bass [Ebm] drum there.
[Dbm] I use drums from [Db] around the world,
like djembes and [Eb] African drums. _ _ _
And I thought that was kind of a nice way to bring
that idea of Universal [Ab] Pictures being global.
Very nice!
[Dm] Give me chills.
[Eb] It's pretty incredible that every time I announce a CFL
film by Universal,
I'll hear the logo music that I've conducted.
_ [F] _ _ _ _
It [Gm] cues you in to say,
[Eb] okay, put [F] away the phone,
stop eating your popcorn for a split second,
pay [Dbm] attention. _
[B] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ It's a huge honor. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
