chuck 154 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Randy Newman talking about the art of film scoring with a special mention of John (he calls him "Johnny") Williams (He thinks "Johnny" is cheating, cuz he's got special privileges, lol.) It's notable that Randy is one of the few composers who are uncomfortable with the modern film scoring process. He's very much old school. P.S. your avatar picture: where is it from...? Very cool...! --- I was also asked that question in this thread, lol:http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 lol, the creator of this video specifically writes "Composer" under JW's name, and out of all the great pieces JW has composed throughout his career, two of them are Fiddler on the Roof and "Suo Gan."

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 TCM was in '04 I believe. I remember when I heard he'd passed, I thought of how I'd "just" seen him on TV talking about Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looohhk 27 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not too many views of YouTube yet so I thought I'd post. Its from the "Hollywood in Vienna" concert. Its a harp feature, a mashup of sections from E.T. and Me/ Adventures of Earth/ and a harp cadenza. Doesn't sound like Williams directly arranged it himself (the harp voicings etc.), the playing is excellent none the less. Nice to listen to if you havent listened to anything E.T. in a while.

Some of the people in costumes was a bit over the top, but the music was played superbly. I also like their renditions of Forest Battle and The Asteroid Field.

indy4 155 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Haha, that ESB end credits in concert was awesome! Love the Vader stunt at the end.

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'll tell you the problem with the musical power you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done, and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you, you've patented it, and packaged it, you've slapped it on , and now you're showing it off.LoiI think everything is better after it's been covered in heavy metal style. I think this is going on the iPod.Four cues from "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" (William Olvis):Wow, now there's a show I haven't seen or thought about in a long time. I had forgotten how classically oriented the music was. Good post to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
