I hope Spielberg has a script ready and give it to Williams. Maybe suggest him to write a few themes. That would be more than enough.

I still listen to his scores all the time. I am never tired of his music. Concerning his concert music I like most of it but few of his concert works I love as much as his film music. I only wish that he would present some of his film works as symphonies or romantic concertos. Korngold did that so why not Williams. John Scott gave us The Odyssey of the Belem. So, I would love an E.T. Symphony, or a Seven years in tibet cello concerto. A Superman symphonic poem.... Whatever.

Wonderful news. Now my wish is that he will write a new olympic games theme.

Hook. I also adore The Last Crusade, The Lost World, The empire strikes back, Jane Eyre.

Someone is a Seinfeld fan!

Concerning Spielberg films and Williams scores of the last 25 years Minority Report (Excellent film - excellent score) Catch me if you can (Excellent film - excellent score) Munich (Excellent film - excellent score) War of the worlds (Very good film - excellent score) The terminal (Very good film - excellent score) Tin Tin (Very good film - excellent score) War Horse (Very good film - excellent score) Lincoln (Excellent film - excellent score) Bridge of Spies (Excellent film - Very good score) The BFG (Mediocre film -Very Nice score) Ready player one (Excellent film - Very good score) The Post (Very good film -Very Nice score) West side story (Wonderful film) The Fabelmans (Very good film -Very Nice score but short, it could help the film a lot if there was a lot more score in the film) For me Spielberg still rules!

I was always impressed by The odyssey of the Bellem symphony by John Scott and was always wondering what wonderful concert pieces Williams could write based on his scores. Symphonic poems as you mention but also symphonies. An E.T. symphony, An Empire of the sun symphony with chorus, Dracula, The fury, the list is endless. Korngold based his symphony in some of his film scores so why not Williams. I would love to listen to a Jurassic Park symphonic poem. Actually if he had done that fewer of us would complain about his different style of composing in most of his concert pieces. Sigh...

Funny that Kubrick would select Williams and not Goldsmith for a thriller. Anyway I really wish he would write the score for Titanic and Up.

Has anybody saw this yesterday? I thought it was the worst new years concert ever. I did not like the conductor at all and orchestra members didnot seem to pay much attention to him. They could probably had many rehearsals though. I also found the selections not to my liking. What do you think?

I would welcome any expansion worked by Mike Matessino. I think that at some point the Indiana Jones scores and the Star wars scores will be expanded by Mike but I hope it will be quite soon. 2026 the Indiana jones scores and 2027 all star wars films. Apart form all these I would like some of hisscores from the 60's and 70's and the Oliver Stone films would be wonderful. Maybe Angela's ashes, Seven years in Tibet, anything really.

I am so happy about this. I hope he composes the whole score and not have work by others for different parts of the film where variations of themes will be sufficient. And come on give the man his final Oscar.

No the T.V. film Jane Eyre by John Williams.

I was wondering if anybody has any insight on Williams love for Baseball. I saw The Natural recently and loved the Randy Newman score. It was a weird choice for Williams to include it in his oscar ceremony film music segment. I really wish he was given the chance to write the music for a film with a plot around baseball.

I really hope he is able to do the whole film and not just a few themes. If there are action sequences in the film I would love to score them in detail. If not I will be satisfied with any work he may provide for the film. I really want him to write the music though and be nominated for many awards for this, including the Oscar and finally win it after so many years. That would be epic!

I really hope that Mike Matessino is reading this thread and is secretly happy because he is preparing expanded scores for all 9 star wars films and we will all be very very pleasantly surprised.
