Yes, and I forgot to mention there was a bomb on it rigged to go off if the bus's speed fell below 50 mph. So everyone was panicking and I was like "Shut up! I'm trying to listen to music!" And I was multi-tasking - also posting here. Who could blame me for thinking it could be Williams' music under those circumstances? Let he who is without a music identifying mistake cast the first stone!

I just wanted to reiterate and truly express joy in Tim's statement of how blessed we all are, in the year 2026, to still share life with the Maestro, who is still giving us his gift of music and how he, at 94, has completed a brand new score for his longest artistic collaborator and friend. What a gift.

I don't think it's just your humor, or even humor more broadly. Seems hard to communicate in general these days... meanings are assumed, words are ignored or defined differently, etc. Now I'm not just talking about this forum.
 
This sounds like something Spielberg might address in the movie, speaking of communication and conflicting motives!

If CE3K featured a song from a hit Disney movie 37 years prior, does that mean DD will feature "Part of Your World," "Under the Sea," "Poor Unfortunate Souls," or "Kiss the Girl," depending on what way the movie takes the aliens to be or the main characters' relationships?

Yeah but they’re playing his NFL theme

I am also looking to compose more, and I suspect my constant stream of music has affected my ability to think my own music.

I like that we all have such divergent tastes. I think it says a few things.
 
We all come for love of John Williams' music, so you'd assume we have similar tastes, but our tastes are as varied as possible.
 
As a result, it is a confirmation of things we love about Williams, namely his versatility and quality.
 
Anyway, for my part, I find the man can do no wrong compositionally, though I know that is naive. In other words, I trust him, which I can't say for composers I know less well.

I really am impressed by the quality of the recording. It's a very crisp, precise performance. I feel like I am hearing new things in Treesong, both in orchestration and interpretation. It's really interesting to hear a "classical" conductor heading up Williams' music.

For this I'd prefer one of his fuges instead. Think Shark Cage or Preparations (Black Sunday). Seems to me more suitable for the material.

I have always had a fondness for obscure things, but I hadn't considered that. It's just so stirring, and when I first heard/saw it I was a conservative youth exploring patriotism. It's a go-to soundtrack still for Memorial, Veterans', and Independence Day.
 
In the post you, @filmmusic linked to above, @JWilliamsFan1999 asked if anyone loved the SPR score, and @Sandor listed it as 14th out of 30. That probably illustrates your point, though, considering the number of replies.

I like the idea of a 93 year old JW anxiously waiting to see if Spielberg approves his music

Its not the orchestration, its the notation.
If it's not been written down with a pencil on paper, its not for me 

It’s been three years since there was a film I’ve been so eager to experience; I am really excited to see this and hear the Maestro’s score. 

Because writing for woodwind is so much harder. Don’t get me wrong, nothing about orchestration is easy, but voicing strings and brass is fairly rudimentary if you’re a good pianist with an understanding of good chordal structure. Voicing wind instruments (that sound so unlike each other) is a whole different thing - it needs much more experience and knowledge of classical orchestration. 

This chord:
 
One thing that has struck me is that a lot of current scores are brass and string heavy, but woodwinds aren't getting the love they need. Maybe it's just a particular type of score these days, but still...
