"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams
"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

And yeah great music.
Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Hey that sounds vintage Horner (Horsemen)....amazing, I haven't been that impressed with a piece of music on first listen in a long time. And he's expanding on those amazing brass lines that were removed from the film version of War in Avatar.

Indeed...truly cinematic and great to see him composing outside of film scores. We need to see more of the "classical" Horner.

That Horsemen piece is good, indeed. There are certain passages that remind me just slightly of Goldsmith's "Soarin' over California", which I think is an even better piece of flying music, but I'm impressed on the whole.
What was the music playing through the first parts of the video? I assumed that was part of the piece, but now I realize it probably wasn't. Was that from one of his film scores?

The website will offer a download package with the music as stand-alone file. Sometimes next week, i think.
You wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle Plans Are Here Again."

James Horner's voice always creeps me out. I feel like the next thing he's going to say is "get into the back of my van, please."
Sounds nice, though.

The vintage plane group, The Horsemen, teach Horner how to fly and he scores a signature piece for them in return.

John Williams sounds the same. His voice is so soft spoken you can see someone complying with his wicked requests.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

I agree, Horner would be far too obvious and cliche a serial killer. Easy to spot, and easy to avoid. On the other hand, John would lure people in with silky gloves and fine dining to the gentle disarming sounds of "A Tree for my Bed" playing in the background,before savagely sinking a pick axe into his guest's skull when at their most open and innocent. Which begs the question.....John Williams sounds the same. His voice is so soft spoken you can see someone complying with his wicked requests.
Can John Williams be trusted?

I think it is soft in a similar way, but it fits him. When I hear Horner speak, I just think "wouldn't your voice be better fitted to an old lady?"
