This score is not so successful as coherent music, as the earlier films' scores were, as released in their final versions on RCA Victor.
However, in this form the music is totally subordinated to the film's dramatic form, rather than musical logic. And Williams subtly uses harmonies to mark the character who is secretly plotting to become Emperor. For instance, the innocent lullaby for little Anakin Skywalker ends in a nine-note pattern that is the theme of the future Darth Vader's Imperial March.
Buffs can readily hear how Williams introduces embryonic forms of familiar themes from the earlier films. As opposed to the original official "Soundtrack" release, a single disc with the soundtrack elements edited and arranged into concert movements, this two-disc set has every note composed for The Phantom Menace, including a cue that was cut from the film.
