It must be Mod - short for moderato, an indication of the tempo. Either that or Moo - to play the music as if you were a cow.

I recall it was a Japanese fan club, and it coincided with Williams visiting and performing in Japan in June 1993

John Williams Reimagined Album (Arranged for flute, cello & piano)
pete replied to JNHFan2000's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
When I think "re-imagine", I think of something like "The Beatles Reimagined for trumpet, accordian, and two ballet dancers" For this album, I think the pieces are more faithful arrangements for piano, cello, and flute. But John Williams: Faithful Arrangements doesn't sound as catchy as John Williams: Reimagined. I quite like the title even though "re-imagined" in my mind evokes some avant-garde monstrosity. As I mentioned above, my jaw dropped when I saw the setlist. For example, I've always longed for music from AI featuring cello after that brief quote on the OST in Stored Memories & Monica's Theme, and I think this could be the arrangenent I've been dreaming about. And I've always loved those more melodic pieces from The River (Growing Up, The Pony Ride, & Young Friends Farewell), so I'm really curious and excited to hear them for these instruments. -

What was your first encounter with Jerry Goldsmith?
pete replied to GerateWohl's topic in General Discussion
I remember just seeing his name a lot on movie credits at movies and on TV growing up in the 80s - I was born in 1972. I remember noticing the name when I saw Rambo First Blood part 2 in a theater and for many movies on TV: Capricorn One and I think Alien was another one, and there were quite a few more. Maybe Twilight Zone and Gremlins I think as well. Strangely, I don't remember paying extra attention to the music - just that I kept thinking, oh there's that name again. Like all fans my age, Williams brought film music to my attention, so I think that had me noticing composer credits, but all this was in my early teens when I didn't think to buy a soundrack. But I realize I was drawn to instrumental music in a form back then - the long guitar solos of Mark Knofler on the dire straits double live album, and his Going Home piece from Local Hero on the CD, come to mind. I saw Total Recall (1990) and Medicine Man (1992) in theaters, and it was between those that I bought my first soundtrack - Varese's Star Wars Trilogy and Superman. And back then in Australia, you could rent CDs, and I borrowed Kamen's Robon Hood and fell in love with that. And then I kept seeing Goldsmith's name on CDs so I got more of an idea of his output. I knew he had written the music for Medicine Man before seeing the movie - I saw it with my mother who was a Sean Connery, and I went into the theater with the intention of paying attention to the music. The Trees piece had me mesmerized, and I bought the CD either that same day or the next one. And that set me on the path! Although I remember thinking most of Star Trek The Motion Picture was weird. Now I know it's just utterly brilliant! And then while living in the UK between 1997 and 1999, my parents visited, and Jerry Goldsmith gave a talk about The Edge with the director (maybe). And my mum went along as well, and she enjoyed Jerry's anecdotes about the Hollywood stars he mentioned. Hearing him speak, I really felt I was in the presence of a genius. It just occured to me that in the future when my mother is no longer with us, I'll probably associate some of Jerry's music with my memories of her. Damn, I hope that's far into the future! Thanks GerateWohl for the topic and the resulting trip down memory lane! -
Why did John Williams never have a cameo in a Spielberg movie?
pete replied to JTN's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Is it just me that finds the idea of doing a cameo stranger than not doing a cameo? -
I’m loving it. Each episode seems to “fly by” in what feels like 5 minutes. And I have been enjoying the music more - there have been a few scenes where the music really stood out for me in a good way in recent episodes. i haven’t seen Band of Brothers since it was released, so it’s been a while but I really think the quality is similar.

Did Jerry Goldsmith really call John Williams “such a snob”?
pete replied to JTN's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Ha, I was thinking the exact same thing! Jerry had quite a good right hook! -

Does Zimmer have a lot of involvement with those shows? I'm guessing he perhaps approves or prepares arrangements? I noticed the wind soloist is in his usual touring band and perfomed on Dune and probably many other scores. His name escapes me for now - found it Pedro Eustache. Anyway, it's nice to see some more variety in these shows! I found the answer!
