He better win for Lincoln, at the very least getting a nomination. I've been looking forward to it ever since the film was announced.If he won for Lincoln, then he will have continued his tradition of winning at least one Oscar per decade. This could offer one final chance...I hope this gets made soon. JW's next Oscar!

I think I'd rather like to hear a horn-heavy score for Lincoln. If the melodic ideas were solid, it could be a really great approach.

Fife? Snare drums?
Classical music and the performing of concert instruments didn't really see too much action in America until the 1840s, when the NY Phil was founded.
It took until the 1870s for most major cities to have orchestras here.
Interestingly enough, choral music was much more advanced and popular in our country at that time...

More like electric violin.Gore Verbinski on electric guitar...?
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

Bear McCreary + Electric Viloin = Epic Win
I really want Williams to win best score for this. HE NEEDS AN OSCAR! It might piss me off, though, that he would not win an oscar for all the masterpieces of this decade and then up and win one for Lincoln.

That's part of it, but even he had won one he would have still got it. That's like saying Spielberg shouldn't get a Lifetime Achievement Award since he already has an Oscar.

It's not a matter of who should win, but rather who will win. The two are, as previous Oscar results can attest, completely different.

And I don't think the Academy members have told each other, "OK, let's not give JW any more Oscars, no matter WHAT the hell he writes!"

That's precisely what the Academy would do. They also do, "Hey, let's give an Oscar to director or composer X, we neglected him for his entire career and this might be his last movie."

In order to give the Academy what they want, Williams will invite Gustavo to pluck the guitar on the score in hopes of snagging one more Oscar.

JP should have been nominated as its a better score than SL.Honestly, I don't even think that SL deserved to win. My vote would have gone to Elfman's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I don't really care if he wins another Oscar, if he writes a score to Lincoln I just want it to be something really good.
And as joey225 said, snare drum was one of the two most prominent instruments in those days during the Civil War.
Thats not something that makes one excited.

"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.

What, does a snare drum-heavy score excite you?
I could see this score going one of three ways...
1. Snare drum/fife-heavy score hearkening back to civil war army bands and such.
2. Patriot/JFK/Rosewood-esque.
3. Something like James Horner's Glory.
I'm hoping for #2, but we'll see..

Slate away, but I'm not particularly excited about this.
I'm not going to jump the gun or anything, since we don't know what style or instrumentation it will be, but Williams' low key efforts lately (Minority Report, parts of KotCS, WotW) haven't really done much for me.
I'm sure Williams will love it, and technically it will be exceptional, but emotionally? I'll wait for the sound clips.

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.

What if it's going to be a piano-driven score? I believe it was a popular instrument back then too and Williams might want to write something fresh instead of his typical horn + trumpet Americana.

Oh, those fresh piano driven Williams scores...
I'd like to keep him away from those somber dramas for a while. The musical palette is so predictable, the already mentioned honored colleague from whatever soloistic department included.
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."

In order to stimulate "originality", I would propose a score entirely written for string quartet. Not only would this be interesting for us Williams fans, it would be a serious musical challenge for the composer too.
