I had no idea he was writing a new fanfare for this, so I'm as confused as you.

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-

It's amazing to see how much energy and good-shape this man still has...
"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

I had no idea that Williams' mother was from Boston but again it would in part explain why the Maestro seems to love the city so dearly.

On a side note, for some reason, I was under the impression that the late mommy Williams was from Bangor, Maine. Or maybe was his father...

BOSTON -- During Friday's gala pregame celebration, the Red Sox will encapsulate a century of Fenway Park into one day and one heck of a 37,000-seat ballpark.
All living Red Sox uniformed personnel whom the team could track down were invited to participate in Friday's ceremony, which is scheduled to start a little after 2 p.m. ET. The pregame ceremony will air live on redsox.com and MLB.com.
...
The Red Sox announced some of what will happen on Thursday. The rest -- like the details of the first-pitch ceremony -- are being kept secret.
Here's what's known: John Williams, who's composed a gaggle of famous cinema scores, will conduct the Boston Pops in the debut of his new composition, "Fanfare for Fenway." The Pops' regular conductor, Keith Lockhart, will conduct for the national anthem. There will be a flyover with two modern planes -- F-16s -- and two World War II-era P-51 Mustangs. The stars and stripes will be draped over the Green Monster.

I hope it's not blocked out outside of the US as these websites tend to do now
Wait I think you have to pay for MLB TV or to even watch the program online
