Matt Groening commented this:
I gave Elfman what I called a "flavors" tape, featuring the kind of sound I wanted for The Simpsons theme. The tape included The Jetsons theme, selections from Nino Rota's Juliet of the Spirits, a Remington electric shaver jingle by Frank Zappa, some easy-listening music by Esquivel, and a teach-your-parott-to-talk record.
Elfman gave it a listen and said, "I know exactly what you're looking for."
Where can I get all those themes together in a collection?

The cello has been found. A nurse from Los Angeles did not know about the news, she was planning to turn it into a CD cabinet :shocked:
Stevens, 30, turned the cello over to police last weekend after seeing a TV news report about the theft -- the first in the Los Angeles Philharmonic's history, police said."Last night, the Los Angeles Philharmonic was reunited with a member of its family, our great General Kyd Stradivarius," Philharmonic president Deborah Borda said at a Tuesday news conference at Walt Disney Hall. "When I announced this to the orchestra there was an enormous cheer that went up."
Stumpf said General Kyd's return made him "probably the happiest man in Los Angeles today."
"I'm just incredibly relieved the cello has been found. It's been an enormous weight on me for the last three weeks," he said. Stumpf, the orchestra's tenured cellist, will continue playing General Kyd as soon as it is repaired, Borda said.
The cello was returned with cracks that string repair technician Robert Cauer called "routine."

I could agree with you Hector, B.POA (before Prisioner of Azakaban).
I have not heard Prisoner..., but I´m looking forward to it.

Hook´s score is more magical than Potter´s, though

LOS ANGELES -- A $50,000 reward was offered Thursday for the safe return of a priceless Stradivarius cello stolen from a musician's home by someone who hauled it away on a bicycle, police said.
"This instrument would be very quickly identified ... it would be very difficult to sell it," said Gail Samuel, the orchestra's general manager.
The 1684 cello was valued at $3.5 million but is considered priceless because it cannot be replaced, she said.
"The value of this instrument is in its being played and being heard," she said.
It was one of only about 60 made by master craftsman Antonio Stradivari and was purchased by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association about three decades ago.

He also did music for that Alf

You cannot be a complete Simpsons fan not knowing who Alf Clausen is.

An excerpt from the autobiography:
John Williams still seems to like my arrangements. I wrote three for a CD that he recorded with the LSO in London called The Hollywood Sound and three more that he recorded conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony with Itzhak Perlman playing the violin solos on a CD called Cinema Serenade. I wrote five more scores for Itzhak Perlman a year later for a sequel called Cinema Serenade II. I’ve also continued to write occasional scores for the Boston ‘Pops’ under their new conductor Keith Lockhart. In March of 2001, I was asked to arrange a medley of the five nominated film scores for Itzhak Perlman & Yo Yo Ma to play at the Academy Awards ceremony. I’m very happy to be in that sort of company!

Morley has been my favorite arranger for the Boston Pops CDs. I did not know she worked on film. Everytime I see the "arr. Angela Morley" I know it's gonna sound good, whether it's Max Steiner's Gone with the Wind or Raksin's Laura to a Frank Sinatra classic like "Night and Day".
It's all good!
-
Even so, you're not getting Patti Lupone or other Broadyway singer, which would deviate more from film music, I mean it's two masters: Mancini and Herrmann.
-
HAHAHA! That would be cool, though
Really, really, enjoy the show, folks!
*sigh*
I know there's still people that live closed only to the idea of only film music, but can ya do
-
You guys appreciate having the good fortune of watching John Williams live! I'll be dissapointed if there are long faces at anytime during the concert.
-
I'm expecting a new recording by John Williams celebrating Leonard Bernstein's 100th Birthday, the way he did with George Gershwin in 1998.
Performed by the Boston Symphony, no less.

Sorry, it was not Merlin. For Merlin they used a rip off of Horner's Titanic sounds. But I do remember the "Flight to Neverland" ripoff being used.
-
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope we don't uncover anymore concerts lurking in the shadows!
~Harry
Unless they're more than three months away.
Hector - who doesn't like to listen John Williams knowing he's playing live within reach
-
I also heard what you might call a "Flight to Neverland" rip off a couple of years ago, I think it was when NBC was promoting its Merlin miniseries with Sam Neill.
-
No one is interested. Unless a miracle happens, I'm afraid I won't be writting a review from that concert.
MIERDE!
-
I can't go, firstly because I need like two or three weeks to come up with the money. Friday, I can't go, but I'm free Saturday night.
SCHEISSE!
-
Furthermore, Williams could debut new Harry Potter music here! Man, how dissapointing from those secret nerd agents!
*sigh*
-
I mean, where are these mysterious agents that know all the happenings in John Williams' career?!?
All obscure things that I don't care for like Sugarland Express coming out on DVD or three new seconds of music form the new Potter movie, but this very public thing, and nobody knows! Jesus H. Christ!
-
F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!... n... F*ck!
-
NO! They only have the shared concert in June, but not this one!
PUTA MADRE!!!
-

Like someone before me said, Cinque's Theme is already a concert arrangement.
I wish Williams would have made a formal march out of the music for the droids in The Phantom Menace
