Happy Birthday, Maestro! Congratulations for your outstanding achievements and the unbelievable amount of great music that you have provided and that you are tirelessly continuing to compose!

My wish is that we will be able to have another toast soon, concerning the upcoming Oscars.

"The more you work in music, the more years you spend with it, the more in love with it you become. It's not like a job that's distasteful. It's the opposite of that--more seductive, more interesting." (John Williams).

Happy 80th Birthday, Maestro. My best wishes for many other wonderful years of music and joy. You're the King.

That's really wonderful.

Here's to John Williams, such a talented wonderful and humble musician, whose name will one day go down along with those masters of the american 20th century, like Barber, Bernstein and Copland.

And while, as we all, I wish for many more years of creative writing, I wonder if one day, his ghost joins the ones of Bernstein and Copland, offering inspiration to coming generations of students in the woods of the Berkshires...

Here's a lenghty piece I wrote as a tribute for JW's 80th birthday for the Italian film music website ColonneSonore.net (it's in Italian, so you have to use those pesky automated transaltors if you want to grasp something of my blabber :))

Happy Birthday to the maestro, for me the greatest film composer of the 20th and 21th century! He should never stop working because "the work you love keeps you young" and we all want at least another handful of Spielberg Williams collaborations!

"I think it could be just as interesting to write a 'Satie-like' miniature score which is ten minutes long. That can be a jewel in the hands of a master as a hundred-minute bombast can be in the hands of a fool."

- John Williams, March 8 1991, Seventh Annual Career Achievement Award ceremony

Happy Birthday John Williams..! :)
