Apparently not.

Bah. This is a musically gifted cat:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrY1GZNOGT4

LOL This is the kind of stupid / cute stuff that you just can't help but laugh at.

Don't know if this has been posted yet:

Williams conducts Itzhak Perlman, Schindlers List.

Note how Williams instructs the supporting orchestra to show constraint at 02.50. For a moment, there is a noticable difference in their volume. I like seeing little things like that. It reminds me why he also a superb conducter.

[Red 75]

Great clip, TheGreatEye. The appearance of Gene Shalit was slightly strange, but the concert footage makes up for it.

[King Mark 3,975]

Pretty soon you won't be able to make a video using some JW as background music,or post those concert recordings:

I wouldn't worry too much. Someone will come up with another way to broadcast files or create another site to host files.

I like that Lucas shows his sense of humour. Even if it was begrudgingly contrived no doubt. But you have to appease your critics somehow.

Also, methinks Lucas has been on the Stella lately. Check out that lumberjack/A-Team henchmans gut.

[GoodMusician 66]

I just ran into this.

It's from a brittish tv show called "The Vicar of Dibley"

It's a spoof of Episode I lol.. Watch it because it's funny... but it makes more sence if you're familiar with the show ;-p

[Maurizio 6,913]

Hadn't seen this before: Williams hosts a tribute documentary to Alexander Courage. Apparently this was put together last year.

Part 1:

Part 2 (Williams discusses his collaboration with Courage):

Part 3:

Part 4:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oppn9BT6XM

This is brilliant! A great documentary, absolutely recommended!

[King Mark 3,975]

So,it seems that sometimes Williams claims all the orchestrations in his scores are his,but in this doc he says the Superman score sounds like it is because of Courage?

Was this doc. on TV?It seems recent,why haven't we heard of it?

So,it seems that sometimes Williams claims all the orchestrations in his scores are his,but in this doc he says the Superman score sounds like it is because of Courage?

Concerning Superman, I don't think he's saying it's like that. He's simply explaining to the casual guy how it works the collaboration between the composer and the orchestrator. And if you listen well, he's saying that for a particular scene he wanted the love theme played on oboe with the strings doing the harmonization, so he gave Courage precise indications on how to do that.

If you look at Williams' handwritten sketches of Superman, you'll see that Williams left almost nothing to the creativity of the orchestrator... it's all there.

Has anyone seen this one yet? If George Lucas would make Lord of the Rings:

This is suprisingly good:

The Phantom Menace of the Opera!

The ending is a cracker

[Red 75]

Very strange, but good nonetheless.

[Dr.ZacharySmith 0]

Look at, and listen to, what might have been the theme for "Gilligan's Island" (Pilot episode).

Indeed. Very impressive considering he's only using one instrument.

Hysterical!!!!! I wish I heard some "Escape from the City" on there.

[Mr. Breathmask 624]

Nice.

This one is even cooler:

[robthehand 3]

A deleted scene from Superman IV. Listen to the music!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC00OjEIYls

- Rob, LOL at the utter lameness of that scene

[Ollie 1,375]

LOL

I wonder who came up with that music? That can't be music actually composed for S IV.

[robthehand 3]

Obviously not, but even as temp-tracking goes, that's pretty awful. I'd have thought they'd at least temp it with Williams Superman music.

[Trumpeteer 304]

Darth Vaaaaaaaaaaaaader is my father and he's heeeeeeeeere

Inside my mind!

Great. I'm going to be singing that all day.

Better than

which I've been playing a lot as I prepare for "Dreamgirls."

In other news...I've been transferring my recordings of the Academy Awards onto DVD, and it's gotten me interested in finding some past Oscar moments on YouTube.

I found some, but this one is my favorite. I'd post the link to Barbra Streisand singing "Evergreen" at the Oscars, but I'll spare you.

Anyway, I couldn't find any links to John Williams acceptance speeches. I thought I would find lots from the 80s and 90s, but found very, very little.

If you have old Oscar tapes sitting around collecting dust, either a) post some great moments on YouTube or B) send me the tapes!

Jeff -- who really wants the 1990 show where Howard Ashman accepts his Oscar, because it's his last Oscar show and he told Alan Menken after the speech that he had AIDS.

[Morlock 12]

I've got that one on DVD, as well as several others.

That's not "The Vicar of Dibley", which is about a Vicar.......

....but it is still the delicious Dawn French - this time with her comic partner Jennifer Saunders in "French and Saunders" - one of many movie great lampoons they did (and still do, from time to time)......their take on "Silence of the Lambs" is a cracker.....

Related - anyone know if there is an "Idiot's Guide" type thing out there for taking a DVD and putting part of it on YouTube?

[Trumpeteer 304]

I've got that one on DVD, as well as several others.

Ooooh! Gimme, gimme, gimme!!!!!

I love that song... "And I'm Telling You (I'm Not Going"...anyone seen 'Camp?' hehehe

I'm going to revive this thread (yet again) with a video game concert video. The piece is from a little PS2 game called Shadow of the Colossus. Enjoy:

Some amazing music in the game, I've been wanting to buy the soundtrack

[Red 75]

It is also probably one of the best games that I have ever played.

A preview of the Lucasfilm restoration of Singing in the Rain.....

.....yeah, ok, it ain't YouTube, but it's close enough.....

[GoodMusician 66]

I actually was beliving it for a minute...and then I was saw the blaster fire and I laughed and realized it was a joke lol

[Mr. Breathmask 624]

There's also an updated version of the song here.

(I'll post it later tonight. I'm having trouble.)

You should cut those down. I'm watching the first video, but I have to sit through almost 3 minutes of dialogue before any music starts, and it takes four minutes before The Trek kicks in.

[pete 1,327]

I had thought of that, but the problem is that you have to understand what's going on before and afte the cue to truly appreciate why it wasn't used or what the intent had been. I'd considered removing some of the dialogue but then I felt I'd be doing a diservice. I almost cut in halfway through the dialogue. but again, I felt it was important to leave the tail end of what had just happened on.

[Mr. Breathmask 624]

I think it's safe to assume people watching those clips will have seen the film anyway.

[GoodMusician 66]

lol still missing the point.

THe point is to hear how the music flows in the film.

Anyways, the last of the three is now up:
