Bespin 8,477 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks, but unfortunately there is not enough music in this documentary, and I don't understand gaelic.Few years ago, the BBC dedicated 5 episodes to John Williams in their series "Composer of the week".http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pmfg2Their playlists where responsible of my "relapse" for John Williams.

thx99 1,740 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yes, the "Composer of the Week" program was very well done. And the interview snippets were a welcomed addition. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen II 1,235 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm genuinely curious to know if we have any regular (or even occasional) visitors to JWFan who can understand Welsh. It would be interesting to know what the gist of this broadcast was. Williams is such a quintessentially Welsh surname, it makes me wonder if he has any Welsh ancestry in the recent past.It always amuses me when I phone my work colleagues in any of our Welsh sites and they answer the phone in Welsh first, then in English. I still can't work out if they are clearing their throats or saying something to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks, but unfortunately there is not enough music in this documentary, and I don't understand gaelic.To be exact it is not "gaelic" which is a whole other branch of languages but rather "cymric" or "cymraeg". And no I can't understand much of it either, most those English words that seem to slip in now and again.Now if someone fluent in Welsh could whip up a transcription of the show we all would be much obliged I am sure.

Thanks, I made the mistake because in french this language is called "Gallois".And for me, "Welch" is a brand of grape juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
