  1. I cannot find it at halleonard.com and at sheetmusicplus.com.
  2. Here we go: https://www.jwpepper.com/11523047.item The suite is a professional full orchestra (John Williams Signature Edition) and includes the following movements: 1. The Rise of Skywalker 2. Psalm of the Sith 3. Rey and Ben 4. Speeder Chase
  3. This weekend, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, enhanced by the Hamlisch-Page Student Choir, will offer three performances of "The Music of John Williams". https://www.pittsburghsymphony.org/production/77360/the-music-of-john-williams The program includes the Liberty Fanfare, "Call of the Champions", excerpts from Empire of the Sun ("Cadillac of the Skies"), J.F.K., Lincoln, The Witches of Eastwick as well as from the Harry Potter, the Indiana Jones and the Star Wars movies.
  4. The concert piece "The Sorcerer's Stone" is published within the nine-movement Children's Suite. It's the Voldemort music, arranged for three bassoons by John Williams. The reference recording by the London Symphony Orchestra can be found in the 7-CD Harry Potter box.
  5. Probably screenings of their most important movies, accompanied by lectures and/or an interview and/or a panel discussion. And/or a recital by pianist Simone Pedroni who has John's blessing.
  6. Most probably, yes. The music edit is what I heard on radio. And the pictures resemble those referenced to by the radio host.
  7. The cuts and jumps in both the Superman March and in Raiders March were - at least in my opinion - rather annoying. I assume that those were added in order to save time. Also, I was not surprised to see Itzhak Perlman. Perlman was the soloist in today's symphony concert, so why shouldn't he perform the night before? In the end, it was an American show. What is being sold as "surprise" and "spontaneous", is nothing but a meticulously choreographed show.
  8. This could indicate that these two pieces will be published as part of the JW Signature Series "soon".
  9. Nope, at Tanglewood. No "Across the Stars" in Berlin. And no ASM on stage in Berlin.
  10. No, it is not. It is a concertante performance with singers/actors. The orchestra will perform John's orchestrations instead of the original ones.
  11. It seems that JW has written a new concerto: "Percussive Planet". The premiere (?) will be at Berlin's prestigious open-air venue "Waldbühne", just a few steps off the Olympic Stadium, on June 26, 2021. The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra will be conducted by Wayne Marshall; soloist: Martin Grubinger. https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/concert/53181
  12. This piece, minus the "Jaws" segment, will be performed in Austria on June 27, 2020: https://www.grafenegg.com/en/programm-tickets/once-upon-a-time-in-america?set_language=en

  14. I know who scribbled the STAR WARS theme onto the sheet. 😉
  15. The concerts on November 3 and 4 have been cancelled. http://www.salzburg24.at/john-williams-sagt-konzerte-mit-wiener-philharmonikern-ab/apa-1445098118
  16. I attended John's concert with the San Diego Symphony on February 10, 2007. The SDS is a great orchestra.
  17. I am happy to announce the latest collaboration between the London Symphony Orchestra, the European FilmPhilharmonic Institute and conductor Frank Strobel: "Tribute to Steven Spielberg" December 10, 2017 @ Philharmonie de Paris, France London Symphony Orchestra Frank Strobel, conductor Repertoire to include excerpts from BACK TO THE FUTURE by Alan Silvestri BRIDGE OF SPIES by Thomas Newman INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE by John Williams JAWS by John Williams JURASSIC PARK III by Don Davis POLTERGEIST by Jerry Goldsmith SUPER 8 by Michael Giacchino THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN by John Williams THE BFG by John Williams and other works https://philharmoniedeparis.fr/en/activity/concert-avec-images/17859-hommage-steven-spielberg
  18. No, this information is not correct. Scores and parts are definitely not engraved, although one rental library does hire out, for example, the Theme from JURASSIC PARK in John's own handwriting. This edition was available before JURASSIC PARK was eventually published by Hal Leonard. All works published within the Signature Edition series have been adapted from the original soundtrack version in order to suit the demands of a professional orchestra that intends to perform select excerpts in a standard concert setting. Most changes relate to instrumentation, for example: four horns instead of six, one keyboard player instead of two, and so on. As far as I know all works within the Signature Edition have been recorded, either by John Williams himself or by other conductors. I am not sure whether John himself is arranging / adapting his film music for concert use. I assume he did that job when he was with the Boston Pops. But be assured that all works within the Signature Edition have been authorized by John.
  19. This is the Suite from WAR OF THE WORLDS: https://www.amazon.de/Suite-War-Worlds/dp/B002N86WEK
  20. There is a typo at minute 12:07. The sign says "No tresspassing." It should say "No trespassing." ;-)
