Maurizio 6,913 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 "The more you work in music, the more years you spend with it, the more in love with it you become. It's not like a job that's distasteful. It's the opposite of that--more seductive, more interesting." (John Williams).Happy 80th Birthday, Maestro. My best wishes for many other wonderful years of music and joy. You're the King.

Miguel Andrade 1,725 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 http://musicthebook.com/film/?id=53That's really wonderful.Here's to John Williams, such a talented wonderful and humble musician, whose name will one day go down along with those masters of the american 20th century, like Barber, Bernstein and Copland. And while, as we all, I wish for many more years of creative writing, I wonder if one day, his ghost joins the ones of Bernstein and Copland, offering inspiration to coming generations of students in the woods of the Berkshires...

SF1_freeze 138 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Happy Birthday to the maestro, for me the greatest film composer of the 20th and 21th century! He should never stop working because "the work you love keeps you young" and we all want at least another handful of Spielberg Williams collaborations!

Sandor 918 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 "I think it could be just as interesting to write a 'Satie-like' miniature score which is ten minutes long. That can be a jewel in the hands of a master as a hundred-minute bombast can be in the hands of a fool."- John Williams, March 8 1991, Seventh Annual Career Achievement Award ceremonyHappy Birthday John Williams..!
