[John Williams' Film Night at Tanglewood, Aug 2 and 3, 2024]

I will be there for the Friday night show.

[John Williams' Film Night at Tanglewood, Aug 2 and 3, 2024]

I'll be heading to this...but no idea which night yet!

Wow, I'm on the east coast, LLL shipped on Sat and it's out for delivery!  Looks like it's gonna be an early day at the office for me. 

Same here!

[James Horner's THE MASK OF ZORRO (1998) - 2023 2-CD Expanded Edition from La La Land Records, produced by Neil S. Bulk]

Really cool!  This is such a fun score.

[James Horner's SNEAKERS (1992) - 2023 2-CD Expanded Edition from La La Land Records, Produced by Neil S. Bulk and Mike Matessino]

Fantastic!  

[HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs]

It really happened!  A great batch of titles, and this looks like a crowning achievement.

[John Williams conducts the New York Philharmonic, April 25, 2023]

I’m actually right outside the hall right now.

[John Williams conducts the New York Philharmonic, April 25, 2023]

I forget - are all ticket holders eligible for the cocktail hour prior to the performance?  
 

Also - if you already hold a ticket you can add the newly announced after party for $350.

[95th Academy Awards (2023 ceremony for 2022 films)]

What a let down.  

[Theoretical: A more complete Prisoner of Azkaban?]

I think the wording can be skewed that way, but what they mean is that the original 5.1 and stereo mixes were by Rhodes and Murray.

[THE LAST JEDI - OST Album MUSIC Discussion (No Movie Spoilers)]

Well that's a shame!  It's a video recording of the main titles from the sessions maybe this one will work:

[THE LAST JEDI - OST Album MUSIC Discussion (No Movie Spoilers)]

From the recording sessions, though I'm unsure of how to share a video that's posted on Facebook.  It's the Main Title.

[Simon Franglen's AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER (2022)]

Sounds like Horner!  I’m excited to hear something original, but I’m equally excited to be immersed in the soundscapes Horner created.

[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (James Mangold, June 30 2023)]

They will use the Dial of Destiny as the McGuffin.

Spielberg would learn. Lucas will not, and that's the issue. 

That being said, the Dial of Destiny would be a cool artifact, though it would have worked better in 1930/40s era Indy films.

 

WOW!  I called it 13 years ago??  😂

I assume it's not all NY Phil players?

Last time it was a touring orchestra from Europe.

 

Chances of it being NY Phil players are slim though, a lot of these concert are performed by freelancers via the local AFM.  Sometimes it’s folks from the major orchestras, but generally not.

[John Williams executes Order 66 on sheet music]

I feel like this is a case of these self published arrangements (via these services) going under the radar of Williams' lawyers.  It's long been nearly impossible for you to get the rights to arrange Williams' music for performing ensembles unless you were one of the chosen few.  When I write for marching bands I always check on Williams titles, but they have been impossible to license for as long as I've been doing this.

[James Horner - LEGENDS OF THE FALL in full score (Chris Siddall Publishing)]

Gorgeous art, I’m excited to order this!

[John Williams conducts the New York Philharmonic, April 25, 2023]

Got my ticket, I'm in row B on the end in the orchestra section.  It won't be the best seat in the house, but it's close and was "only" $175.

 

I've been to every concert he's held at David Geffen Hall, so couldn't miss this one!

Wild hunch, but we may be looking at Something Wicked This Way Comes.

 

1. The George Delerue rejected score (released before)

2. The James Horner complete score

3. The James Horner score album previously released

 

If so, this would be quite interesting.

 

I was thinking about this too - it would be very welcome!

[Rumour - Williams is composing his symphony no. 2]

I’m not sure why Denéve would work to commit Williams to a symphony for Philadelphia, he conducts there often for Williams related concerts but is not the music director there.

[David Newman adapting Leonard Bernstein - WEST SIDE STORY 2021]

The film, performances, and recording are all fantastic.  And the updates to the book help a lot too.  I love it.

[John Williams conducts the New York Philharmonic, April 25, 2023]

This should be the new David Geffen Hall too, can't wait!

[The Official Alan Menken Thread]

Omni Music teased on their Facebook that the score for Tangled is next up for them.

[Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story (2021)]

This is all very interesting.  And amidst it all I just want to reiterate that I loved WSS, my students loved it, my friends and family who saw it loved it, and I think it deserves any and all awards it can get.

That was a fun night!
