Just received an email from Hal Leonard. The suite is scheduled to be released mid July. It wouldn’t be surprising if JW performed something from it at the Hollywood Bowl.

Great job, @TownerFan and @mahler3!
 
Excellent choice of 2 preview tracks to play.  "SpaceCamp" (end credits) nicely showcases what the score has to offer for anyone who had never heard it before at all, while "Arrival at Daedalus" showcases well what new music we'll get to hear if we already own the OST album.

I enjoyed the conversation as well, including the sidebar about the Kunzel / Cincinatti Pops rerecordings of the past.
 
Can't wait for the next chat with Mike episode!

Glad you're enjoying Independence Day. Conan is an absolute must have in my opinion (not biased lol). 
"On my plate" is Legends of the Fall next, then Alien, then Gremlins. Busy busy! 

I know that some people will want to know the exact contents, so here is the full cue list from the book.  These can be used to follow along with either the movie or the expanded 3CD release from Intrada.
 

 

The Hyborian Age is upon us!
 
It gives me great pleasure to say that Basil Poledouris' iconic score from "Conan the Barbarian" is now available to pre-order (ships week commencing 9th May).
 
Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, for many it was their first exposure to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
With the movie featuring almost wall-to-wall music, this is a really must-have study score! The book includes every cue from the movie, plus various album edits and unused cues.
The perfect companion to read along with the movie, or with the expanded Original Soundtrack release from Intrada.
Add to that a beautiful foreword by Zoë Poledouris Roché and thematic and cue analyses by Erik Heine, this book really has everything.

From Chris on FB. The score could start shipping early May.

Conrad Pope says
 
"A friend of mine shared with me this newspaper article from 1949. Scroll down beyond the Britten part to the section called "Phuff." There, the columnist writes about a young band of teenage musicians from North Hollywood High School.
The "Curly" of the article is John Williams. NHHS was the alma of other iconic musicians including Paula Robison and John Neufeld, among others. The article clearly shows you're never too young -or too old- NOT to take music seriously. It also shows that over a lifetime dedicated to music,wherever JW stood, he always stood out! Hope you enjoy the read. "

I really want to go to that one. Since I first started to study trumpet, the Chicago symphony has always been a reference orchestra for me. Hearing this orchestra with Williams conducting would be amazing. 

Ooooh too bad it wasn't closer to the Hollywood Bowl dates, would be a nice trip to see both

Have no fear!
 
 

I’m actually thinking of going to one of these concerts. I have some airline credit to use. I can’t think of a better way to use them then cross the continent to see Williams with the LA phil.
When are single tickets go on sale?

Reflections on the concerts performed by John Williams with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra on March 12 and 13, 2022. The article also features an essay by @Miguel Andrade

As Maurizio and I discussed during our Tim Morrison Legacy discussion, the Salute to Hollywood is absolutely the performances with Tim as principal trumpet 🎺 which really made JW take notice. His beautiful solos throughout this album are just stunning and paved the way for his invite to Hollywood!

According to a FB post, Neumation music is about to release Goldsmith’s Twilight Zone in full orchestral score.
Definitely an interesting release.
 

Throwing opinions about how much this film or that project are beyond or worth of his time and talent is a useless exercise. At this point in his life, the man is doing whatever he wants and likes to do. He lived a greatly privileged life, working with incredible people and on projects that will last beyond all of our lifetimes. He sounds also very serene about approaching the end of his journey on Earth, so he values time greatly and, as he says, six months now is an extremely long period for him. He knows better than any other how to manage time as it's part of his DNA as a composer. We as fans might approve or not if he's using this time for doing another franchise score or a personal concert piece, but it's not our call. Let's just be grateful he's spending his last years among us writing new music and doing concerts all around the world.
