Well, i don't know which version of Sibelius you use, but in the Time Signature box it should have a "beam and rest groups" option. You should put "2,2,3,2" and so the notes would be grouped as in your example..

Why does it say "Williams created the musical score for the film"? he didn't write anything. Or did he?

Just found it online in FSM site (Thank God I hadn't ordered it, because it was sooooo expensive!) http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/daily/article.cfm/articleID/6484/Cameron-Patrick%E2%80%99s-ST-TMP-Goldsmith-Thesis/

Here are the contents that I found mentioned in a forum: Vorbemerkungen Williams' Zusammenarbeit mit Spielberg Musikalischer Werdegang Zur Kooperation mit Steven Spielberg Funktionen von Filmmusik Deskriptive Qualitäten Affektsteuerung Repräsentation von Erinnerungen Strukturierung Kommentierung Musik im filmischen Raum Detailanalysen zu Jaws und E.T.

Does anyone have a complete cue list of Young's "Bless the child", and the corresponding parts from the ost?

Does anyone know what is it about? is it musicological analysis, or is it addressed to the general public?

Why i can't find this in Lalaland site??

Congratulations! unfortunately I'm living in Greece and can't see it/

And what that might be? or you're just being ironic?

Well, i don't like much where this thread is heading so i'll get back to the subject. according to bill wrobel's writings, the scores of Hook, Close Encounters are in the Sony Studios, and the scores of A.I., and the 2 first Harry potters are in Warner Bros.

Well, although I didn't understand what you said at first but I did with the help of a friend, there isn't anything there. I just searched. and I mean the original handwritten full scores or sketches.

Does anyone know in what libraries there are Film scores of John Williams? (except his own library of course) I know this so far: -Sibley Music Library: Alexander Courage Collection (Complete Superman sketches, a couple of cues from Hook, Spacecamp, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade, Home Alone, If we Were in love theme, Supermn IV score) I had seen once information about Schindler's list (i think it was located in MArgaret Herrick's library, I'm not sure, but the reference is not there anymore). Any others?

Here's the thematic analysis I have kept: Harry Potter thematic Analysis

Or are your referring to the Harry potters thematic analysis by Frank Lehman that was here in jwfan? i have kept this..

I believe it's April Fool's, right?

All the more reason why most film music over the last 15 years rarely interests me and now looking ahead, will probably be absent from my collection, outside of Michael Giacchino. Well, It's not the samples' or the software's fault. it's how you use them. I still write in pencil and paper in the piano in the old orchestral film music style, and in the end i just use the samples because i don't have a live orchestra.

DOn't know if this had been posted before:

Does anyone know any links to videos (i can't find anything in youtube) of the "best music" nominations from the past oscar shows that were presented as a suite with dancers? I really enjoyed those segments. i remember the one with the home alone, dances with wolves etc, nominations, and the one with Schindler's list, age of innocence etc.

I don't know if anyone knows about this. there's a thesis on Star Trek Film music analysis: http://library.uq.edu.au/record=b1765673~S7 You can read here about the contents of this thesis (pages 4-5): http://www.filmscorerundowns.net/goldsmith/startrek.pdf Does anyone have it, by any chance?

This sounds really interesting, I'm a diehard fan of deeply detailed musicological analyses of classical and film music! Where can I find Batman and where will the CE3K book be available? Are these books by any chance sold on Amazon? And I've been waiting so hard and for so long for this book of Doug's, the publishing date just seems to slip further and further into the hazy future ... You can find the film score guide series in amazon. just type the keyword "film score guide" in books. The Close Encounters book hasn't been written yet. Upon my contact with the author of the book, he says there's an effort for the book to be more oriented to those who have not a musical background..

Here is a pdf of a full Ph.D on Minimalism and Film Music, and among others it examines exactly what you want: Minimalism in Williams' A.I.! (pages 115-121) (although from what I see now the writer analyses only the "Hide and Seek") Oh, and I see this was in the University of Texas too! http://repositories.lib.utexas.edu/bitstream/handle/2152/3839/eatonr88741.pdf?sequence=2

Do i hear the Penguin theme from "batman returns" in Finding Absolem?

Thank you very much John for your details on this. My intent of course was not to say that film music analyses are only to be addressed to those who know music. It's just that academic musicological analyses of film scores don't exist (except for a couple of examples) and I believe people like me who have studied music for a lot of years, would be anxious to read such books for educational reasons (details about the construction of themes, the musical connection between them, the tonalities used and what they do represent, if there is a tonal plan and what does it want to show etc.) Aspiring to be a film composer, I really would love to read more books on this subject that would help me understand more.. that doesn't mean of course that I discard any other effort that is not addressed to musicians..

Well, just the first half of it with the historical stuff.. I haven't understood what is this book about. Is it gonna be a musicological analysis, or a description of the score for the musically illiterate? Oh, never mind, i just saw the site for this book, and from what i understand it's perhaps the second..
