Home Alone by John Williams One of those strange scores that seems quite unremarkable to me for most of the year, but lightens up (like a Christams tree, yay!) once a year. This LLL is very precious to me for sentimental reasons. I had to spend that Christmas Eve completely on my own that year, for the very first time in my life. I was disheartened and tired and when I came back from work I found a package with this CD under my door. It was late for a week or two so I didn't expect it at that point. But there it was, on Christmas Eve. Perfect timing. It made that evening much, much, much more enjoyable. Did I mention I love the use of Dies Irae in this score? Clever, Mr. Williams, very clever. But I didn't know that before reading the liner notes. And while the main theme might be the most popular, Star of Bethlehem is where heart of this work really resides. Karol
