I´m workin´on a presentation about where John Williams has found inspiration/ where he oriented while working on his scores.
I´ve found some material about Star Wars. It says he copied(well actually I don´t really like this formulation) from Dvorak. Moreover I found statements which said he orientated at Stravinsky´s "Ritt der Walküren".
Also, I have read interviews where Williams talks about being influenced by film composers Korngold and Herrmann as well as classical composers such as Stravinsky and Prokofiev.
Well I need some help with the scores from 2000 til now.
Let´s see: "memories of a Geisha"
"The Patriot"
"Terminal"
"Munich"
"Harry Potter" (well I heard here´s a connection to Tschaikowsky´s "Nussknacker"
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the crystal skull"
hope you guys can helps me...
In best case I need some examples where you can hear this
best regards,
Gelantine
