ya. anyone know what the first tune was tho? i liked the huge percussion before the horns blasted through.

how is this inappropriate? this is just someone who is remarking that he happened to innocently notice there was jw as the victory song.

exactly. and i'm 100% sure it was the patriot. the beginning song did not seem like the patriot. perhaps david arnoldy, but it definately became the patriot after around 1-2 minutes. and i also noticed Zimmer for mccain. hehehe.

ya the patriot by JW. they're still playing it.

Yes we can! Anyone so happy to hear the Patriot as the Victory song after the speech?

what happened to it? in sadness and shameless self-promotion, i've restarted the thread! Here's a listing to the newest song i wrote. Very simple but watever. Hope you like it! i know she did:p. http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=1090453&t=3031

hm... those aren't very good. the spiderman one was pretty bad for example.

Hi, I'm looking for some good piano transcriptions of JW's concert pieces (of the film scores). I've made a couple, but I was wondering if anyone else has some more? I have an upcoming gig that wants alot of JW and I hate the cheap arrangements that they sell under JW's name (like 1 minutes of bad arranging (ex. star wars theme) vs. a full 5 minute concert suite). I don't have time to arrange them all myself so I was wondering if anyone here has some? thanks.

So i organize a concert series with concerts in Toronto. We just spoke to JW, and he's interested in writing music specifically for a concert in January 2009. He's arranging some of his own music into a suite for flute and strings. I thought i'd just share this with you. Oh, and we haven't gotten confirmation but there's a 90% danny elfman is probably going to also write music for it. and a 20% chance he might show up from what i hear, depending on his composing schedule for next year.

Hey, I was curious if any of you knew what happened to a certain website that used to be up a few years . It was a John Williams Themes website where they had transcriptions of themes from his works including the concert works and other stuff.

also, for the more film-music lovers, heres another i just uploaded as well. very cinematic ending type music haha. maybe also coplandish. http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=1014908&t=2165

It's been awhile since I posted a new song. Heres' the exposition of a rough draft of my piano trio. I know, the first theme is reminiscent of Mathis und Maler Symphony... it was told to me after I played it to someone. Nevertheless I kept it, since I could use that short and sweet motif for a good development section. http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?AID=285685&T=544516

how about one of the hook cues which sounds like it was lifted straight out from firebird? i cant remember right now, but im 100% sure that was the temp track...

see it was a FUN movie. like pirates of the carribean. Obviously its not meant to be a smart movie; how smart is having 1.5 hours worth of fighting in a movie in general? but it was fun. and the score worked; it wasnt bad nor good, but served its function. and oh, they have the famous middle eastern female voice that has crept into scores nowadays. Almost a cliche now.

OMG i love that movie. and btw the score wasn't that bad. i actually rather liked it, and it worked at the end. course i watched it in imax, so i was very in awe of themovei.
