Hey, we have also Rossini, Verdi and Puccini ;)

 

Back to the subject, I'm happy about this collaboration between Emilio and Konstantinos. The book is insanely priced, though! Hope it'll get cheaper in some Amazon deals...

Yes, indeed. I'm surprised myself about the money they're asking -- money that, by the way, is not going into the authors' and editors' pockets, I assure you. That's the wonderful world of academic publishing.

Always cool with another academic book on film music. The flora of such books is getting pretty impressive by now. Also kudos to Emilio and Konstantinos for their chapter in the book. I'd certainly love to read it (even if I can't read much of musicological analysis), but there's no way in a million years I can afford it at that price. Hopefully, it turns up on the secondary market at some point.

Congratulations gentlemen! And looking forward to reading this book when and if I have a chance.

Finished the final proofreading of this and I believe this will go to the printer in the next couple of days.

 

I'm also mentioning this forum in a footnote, when I'm saying about the themes' names coming from various sources, mainly from reviews, analyses and discussions of film scores on the internet (e.g. www.jwfan.com/forums);)

 

I see the date of release has been pushed to April now.

edit: Oh, no! June!!

Thanks for the heads-up. Looking at the prices around the web, I don't think it'll stay this low that long.

well, if you're seeing now the 70% off, when I wrote my post it was 81% off.

It goes up and down as I have noticed generally..

On the occassion of St. Patrick's day, i wanted to say that in my chapter in this book, I analyse - among others - the structure of the wonderful Irish theme from Far and Away.

 

(0.22-1.13)

 

 

if you manage to find a preview around the net, it's pages 246-7.

I'm celebrating St. Patrick's Day, by watching "Donnal and Connal" videos, on YouTube, while enjoying a Guinness.

I had to google all these! :P

 

I'll be watching The Quiet Man in the evening, John Williams's favourite film!

Have seen it once before and I loved it!

(just a few days ago I bought the Eureka bluray which has excellent quality)

But it doesn't have The Kiss, does it?

I just noticed again that scene and saw its unscored.

I thought there was a score and Williams took it from there and expanded it in E.T.
