I can't explain why, but JW put this little snippet in Hymn to the Fallen at measures 13 and 14? that (at least to this arrangement) is something like this: I don't know why that little phrase works so well, but it does. I don't think it would be as stunning without it. /Link to the video I took the screen shot from:

This looks FANTASTIC! My wife introduced me to Rebels, Clone Wars, etc. and I've loved all of it. Then again, I am a rather big nerd.

I am not sure if this is JW or not, but I LOVED the Big Bold Brassy sound of the Main Star Wars theme at 1:@6

@Falstaft Either way, I will be buying your book. I am curious though: due to a VERY long commute (I live in Los Angeles County) I burn through a couple of dozen audiobooks a year. Will this be released on Audiobook, and if it is, will be cues on it? Thanks, and looking very forward to reading/listening to your book!

Now all that we would need to see is The Rock and Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett) team up to do a Haka with the backing of a John Williams Polynesian sounding Drum piece.

Ever since Disney bought Star Wars, I was WAITING for this to happen. I might be in the minority here, but I am glad this will be happening.

I haven't gotten to read all of this topic, but something for me, the answer is complicated. I'm not sure WHY I like this so much, but to me it just is a beautiful snippet of music. In Hymn to the fallen, this small snippet flutters away, but it is beautiful.

This might be a little unpopular, but: If The Maestro didn't win for Dial, I am at least glad Ludwig did win. After the First season of The Mandolorian, there was a special about the Music of the series, and Ludwig did a hat tip to the Maestro when discussing how to went about composing the music for it. I would have been OK with Robbie Robertson won as well. I am more disappointed about Best Song. I thought "The Fire Inside" , "It Never Went Away", and "Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)" were VASTLY superior to anything Barbie produced. Also of note I just saw this. From the Wikipedia Article for The Music of "Killers of the Flower Moon" Tim Greiving of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "Robertson's contribution is an astonishing and lively musical ecosystem that gives immediate authenticity to Scorsese's equally vivid presentation of Osage life and culture in 1920s Oklahoma. It's music that proudly worships and dances with these people — and alternately weeps for their oppression, at times sounding almost sick at their treatment by the story's white predators." He also called the soundtrack "the best music Robertson ever wrote for the screen." I think we know the quote giver... Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killers_of_the_Flower_Moon_(soundtrack)

I may be thinking more into this than it is worth, but: My wife and I will go to The Hollywood bowl a few times a year. This years opening concert is a tribute to Mancini...so...possibly around May? His 100th birthday will be April 16

Oh to have the money to buy that.

And if there is an audiobook (please make and audiobook) put musical cues in the book?? Please??

I found this by pure accident:

I think I realize now what the secret to The Maestro's longevity is! His son routinely blesses the rain down in Africa...I wonder if there is some true magic going on there...

Don't know what day, but, My wife and I will be there!

That is BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you, @TownerFan
