Sorry everyone. HL disabled the links sometime after I had posted them. However, Sheet Music Plus still has these items listed for pre-order (https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/explore?q=John+Williams+signature&srule=new-releases), so I’m still holding out hope. Now it’s just a matter of when HL actually prints and releases everything…

The published Hal Leonard version is the full long version.

Not sure why HL took them all down from their website, but they are all listed as available for pre-order on this site (filter by newest): https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/explore?q=John+Williams+signature+edition&srule=new-releases Happy to also report that despite the removal of the others from the website, this is now showing as available: https://www.halleonard.com/product-family/PC28897/american-journey

Apparently several more scores are in the works as well beyond Jabba the Hutt: Centennial Overture: https://www.halleonard.com/product/4492904/centennial-overture-deluxe-score Raiders March (abridged version): https://www.halleonard.com/product/4493036/raiders-march-abridged-edition-deluxe-score Celebrate Discovery: https://www.halleonard.com/product/4492669/celebrate-discovery-deluxe-score Pops on the March: https://www.halleonard.com/product/4492450/pops-on-the-march-score Music for Brass: https://www.halleonard.com/product/4491963/music-for-brass-deluxe-score Salute to the Oscars: https://www.halleonard.com/product/4492891/a-salute-to-the-oscars-deluxe-score Galaxy’s Edge: https://www.halleonard.com/product/4492550/galaxys-edge-star-wars-deluxe-score To Lenny, To Lenny (For New York): https://www.halleonard.com/product/4492356/to-lenny-to-lenny-for-new-york-score Sound the Bells (brass and percussion version): https://www.halleonard.com/product/4491957/sound-the-bells-for-brass-and-percussion-deluxe-score Just Down West Street On the Left: https://www.halleonard.com/product/4491627/just-down-west-streeton-the-left-deluxe-score Two Selections from E.T.

For those interested, two new Signature Edition titles are available for public purchase: - With Malice Towards None from Lincoln (version for string quartet) https://www.halleonard.com/product/4493252/with-malice-toward-none-from-lincoln - Theme from Sabrina (solo violin and orchestra) - I’ve already got my copy of this one, and even though the composer’s notes mention that the arrangement was put together for Itzhak Perlman and the Cinema Serenade album, this version actually matches up with the more recent Anne-Sophie Mutter recording. https://www.halleonard.com/product/4493251/theme-from-sabrina-deluxe-score

Yes.

Here’s my recording of the A.I. performance: Encore was Olympic Fanfare and Theme (with an epic fireworks display that I thought I caught on video but it was set to photo 😂)

Here’s the confirmed program.

I would venture to guess it is Williams’ arrangement of By the Beautiful Sea listed in this program I pulled from the BSO Archives, the lyrics of which go “By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea…” This piece was played at multiple performances that week, one of which I had actually attended back when I was in high school. I don’t remember much about the arrangement other than that it was in a similar vein as his Hooray for Hollywood arrangement and that (you guessed correctly!) it featured a brief quote of the Jaws bass line at the very end of the piece. Anyone curious about how the tune sounds (though not the same arrangement) can listen to The Ferris Wheel Sequence from Williams’ score to 1941.

I also enjoy this little gem.

I was at the 1996 Tanglewood concert where he performed “Hell’s Kitchen” from Sleepers with the Boston Pops two months ahead of the film’s release.

The Cowboys being listed twice was merely a typo in the program. There was nothing performed in its place the second time. For Harry Potter they only played “Harry’s Wondrous World.”
