I guess The Bee Movie would be as appropriately cute as any - though I haven't seen it yet.

Could've been, but I'd like it on the CD all the same.

Indeed a very inspired and impressive performance by such a young orchestra. Also great interpretation and musicality. Bravo! What Marcus wrote about using multiple snare drums is completely correct, however, the two players could've been more together. But since this was only the first rehearsal, I've no doubt that they played perfectly later in the concert. But it does seem strange to me that nobody strikes the tam-tam at 1:44 - it's usually there, isn't it? And they've got it, it's shown just a few seconds before the "critical" moment.

. I know, the sound and video quality are horrible (somebody filmed that with a photo), but just for the fun of it. (I'm in the back with the a2 cymbals. )

Friday the 13th, the very first one from 1980. Too bad the complete soundtrack to this first film was never available on CD ...

How wouldn't Ford look good when they inserted a picture of him from 1981?!

Haha, sounds great I should try this, maybe this year ... My fav carol seems to be O Holy Night, also Adeste fideles, also JW's carols of course, and some songs (Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Let It Snow, The Christmas Song, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ...).

Haha, hillarious Really made my day, Mr Cosman

In about a year. Gee, really? Why so late? I thought he had it more or less already written by the time the last CR came out ... I was hoping I could already buy it during my visit to London one month from now. On the other hand, it seems kind of logical - LotR CR in 2005, TT CR in 2006, RotK CR in 2007 and Music of the LotR Films book in 2008.

Great. Interested in a short meeting before everything starts? (I just want to see how geeky I look in comparison to the other die-hard JW/FM fans. )

March from 1941, Presenting the Hook, Setting the Trap, Throne Room and End Title, The Cowboys Overture are some examples.

So, Jim Ware and Melange are coming (Melange, are you?). Nobody else?

Braveheart. Teary ending.

Anybody have any idea when that book of Doug's is coming out?

I concur with Morlock.

Oh yes indeed. Watched some Wyatt Earp, GoodFellas and Gone With the Wind in these last days.

Are we indeed? Damn, and I bought those easyJet tickets already!

You can do all that and still remain subtle, how about that?

Definitely. I liked both HP 5 and PotC III, but unfortunately haven't yet had the chance to check out some other new stuff such as Beowulf, Ratatouille and The Bourne Ultimatum. Gotta catch up on that.

I'll be there too, and so will MAG-SI (we're coming together, as well as some (girl)friends). Meeting could be lots of fun! I'm also very much looking forward to the pre-concert talk and perhaps even getting some of my Arnold/Doyle CDs autographed. Anyone else going? Maybe we could organise a pre-concert-talk talk.

And actually a very good listen. Yep, my first association was also this stuff. Isn't there also something in The Matrix Reloaded? It's funny, being a percussionist I still can't remember some percussion only tracks ... konstantinos, whatever you do, be sure to make it heavy on the interesting and cool-sounding stuff, such as tubular bells, tam-tam (preferably at least two - large and small), rolling upturned cymbal on timpani while glissanding them with the pedal, playing vibraslaps (with different sustain), flexatones etc. etc. ...

Yeah, I remember that too, and now I'm annoyed 'cause I can't remember what documentary this was in, perhaps in the Gladiator? If I get a chance, I'll ask Doyle and Arnold about their favs next month at the pre-concert talk in London. I'd also daresay that Shore definitely likes Wagner.

Great, so I can expect mine in a week or so.

Watched Memoirs of an Invisible Man (with Chevy Chase, Daryl Hannah and Sam Neill) after many years (I saw it in 1992 in cinema as a kid).

Beethoven, Holst, Dvořák, Vaughan Williams, Wagner, R. Strauss, Rimski-Korsakov.
