Excellent work! It is simply brilliant to have those sections back. An invaluable resource. :)

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-

Very cool! I'd been hoping for some of this for a long time!

Nice see all the video links! A few corrections:
*The Cowboys links to an out of print DVD. There's a newer edition out, as well as a Blu-ray.
*Munich links to The Terminal. The 2-disc DVD for Munich is out of print—I never got it, but it appears to have a featurette with Williams. Hopefully it will appear on the eventual Blu-ray.

And a minor thing on the Concert Works page. It mentions the Fanfare for Michael Dukakis premiering in July 1988. Looks like the date was July 21 (link).

Again, so glad to see all this! Especially the return of some of those long lost cue lists and analyses.

Fantastic! I've been waiting for these updates for a long time :)

One minor correction, though: I believe the Dracula DVD does contain a JW featurette, but I'm not sure... Here's the documentary I'm talking about:

It's also available on Amazon Japan: http://translate.goo...=en&prmd=imvnso

I'd love to get this, but I think I'll wait until the price goes down (hopefully).

Good stuff, Ricard! Nice to see this handy resource back.

All additions/corrections/suggestions are welcome!


In the complete cue list for Dracula, these are the three pieces of source music:

5 = La Cumparsita (composed by Gerardo Hernan Matos Rodriguez)
7 = Tales from the Vienna Woods (composed by Johann Strauss II - opus 325)
15 = Sicilienne from Pelleas et Melisande suite (composed by Gabriel Faure - opus 80)

Happy to see the stuff I researched a while back (esp. in relation to the tv work) being implemented, as well as other things. It's a neverending quest to get total overview, but ultimately a rewarding one for all JW fans.

"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

Thank you Ricard and thank you Jason. By the way Ricard the jwfan site looks great again. You carefully updated and improved it from the not so good work in progress version to the beautiful site we have now. The new added sections have a great color sceme and look smooth and accessible. Great work!


The goal now will be to add the new cue lists, articles and informations that have surfaced over the last few years. When i have time i will look through all the entries and post more suggestions.

The page is looking better and better. Great job, Ricard (and everyone who contributed stuff)! :)

Karol
From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan
