Yeah. They're there, but far - far - less pronounced. I think they're similarly quiet on the 2004 SE sound mix as well but I don't have it on hand so I can't check.

Also, just a comment on this song versus Yub Nub. I think I prefer the piece in of itself, but the "teddy bear parade" ending was much more fun than seeing the entire galaxy celebrate. Mainly because I somehow doubt the death of the Emperor is the complete end of the Empire, and it makes more sense to have a subdued celebration among comrades. Pretty sure there was more work to do after that for the Rebels.
