Have you even seen the show?

American Idol sucks. Because of it, 24 was postponed for 3 weeks. TORTURE!

Thank you for the advice I really haven't had any formal training other than reading trombone music for 9 months or so and listening to film score music for about a year. This was my first attempt ever writing anything. The rhythms aren't too complex, but I may be pushing it with some of the notes I'm having the brass play (although Finale says they are in range). I'm not really sure what level it would be. I'm writing another short little theme right now, so we'll see how that turns out.

Probably a level 2 class could pull it off. There's not much in the way of sax, oboe, or clarinet, but they could probably just play the bassoon/flute part. Yeah, I also noticed that after listening to it.

This is fun I've added about 16 seconds to the beginning, and I'm going to make the ending not so sudden. Also added some percussion. I reuploaded the MID file to http://www.vereor.com/test/Theme.MID [edit] I uploaded the final (I think) 1 minute version. I cut out the abrupt ending and transitioned to a horn/trumpet theme, finishing with a bassoon statement of the main theme. http://www.vereor.com/test/Theme.MID That was more fun than I expected. I think I'm going to write another one tomorrow.

A friend of mine loaned me his copy of Finale 2001, so I have been screwing around with it the last couple of days. Mostly I was making some sheet music for the trombone (which I play), but I decided I'd try it out with the whole orchestra... http://www.vereor.com/test/Theme.MID Do I suck?

The Midway March.

Tom Hanks was telling this on Letterman, but as a joke. He didn't actually pay the fine with the CMIYC score.

Frank Darabont [The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile] is writing the script. It will be good.

What is your least favourite score by John Williams from the past 25 or so years (arguably his prime)? I find myself least listening to scores like Sabrina and Stepmom. Nick Stepmom (Reluctantly)

This could be my favourite 20 seconds of music that Williams has composed. If anyone wants a recording, let me know.
