Omen II

It sounds like a cover version of Limahl's song for The Never Ending Story.

I saw the Royal Scottish National Orchestra play music from Always at a concert of John Williams's music at Usher Hall in Edinburgh in 2017. Williams had loaned the score to conductor and friend Richard Kaufman from his personal library. It was honestly one of the highlights of an excellent concert and should be programmed more often. The concert also featured some other Williams rarities such as Jim's New Life from Empire of the Sun and Flight and Technology from The Unfinished Journey. The concert was discussed here.

It's the Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem.

One of the things that make this score so enjoyable for me is the wonderful guitar playing from the legendary session musician Tommy Tedesco (1930-1997), who played on several John Williams scores including Jaws, The Eiger Sanction, Earthquake and others. I do not know if this very funny 1996 seminar with Tommy has ever been posted here, but I thoroughly recommend it. He suffered a stroke in the early 90s but even from the little snippets he plays you can recognise that unmistakable playing style. He relates anecdotes about several film composers including Lalo Schifrin, Jerry Goldsmith, Dimitri Tiomkin and Leith Stevens. He also discusses his contribution to The River and cites an unnamed John Williams piece as the hardest thing he had ever been given to play! The whole thing is great but if you are only interested in John Williams, skip to about 43 minutes in.

Affirmative!

The Taking of Pelham 123?

We have a winner!

Wrong, but as a plot synopsis that’s not a million miles away!

No. The size of some of the emojis is a clue of sorts.

The Cat From Outer Space? Fine score by Lalo Schifrin!

Although he did not compose the music for many animated films, Victor Young deserves a mention for his wonderful early score for Gulliver's Travels (1939).

Is it Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper? Yes! Bespin was closest.

Almost, but I need more!
