    I think the natural human disposition is to be nostalgic for the things in one's past.  Certainly the enjoyable things; sometimes even the unenjoyable things.  So while I find my own method of discovering film scores -- mostly by checking out movie posters -- to be a bit more glossy than being able to just get online and find out anything anytime, I know it's not actually so.  It just feels so.  And it'll feel so in exactly the same way to Internet users whenever whatever the next thing is comes along.  They'll look back on their web-surfing days and sigh a little bit and say, "It ain't like it used to be."

     

    They'll be right AND they'll be wrong.

     

    Very true and well said. I'm completely aware that the fond memories I have are very personal and have nothing to do with whether things were or weren't better 25 years ago...

  2. I love the two Spielberg/Williams collaboration albums tremendously and am eagerly looking forward to the third installment. One thing about the rearrangement of Exsultate Justi on the original album puzzles me however and perhaps someone knows: why did Williams ditch the best part?

     

    I'm refering to the short 30 second part as heard on the original soundtrack recording of Exsultate Justi between 2:35 and 3:05.

     

     

    It's different melodically and it stands out: it's one of my very favorite Williams-choral moments.

    Meh. They're both the usual overplayed hits. Could have picked more interesting choices on both parts.

     

    For us: yes. But these concerts tend to draw audiences greater than just the die-hard film music fans. For many it might have been their first ever film music concert, heck; perhaps even the first time to see an orchestra perform live.
