    I could imagine "My Friend the Brachiosaurus" having lyrics. or even the main theme. but if that were the case they probably would have made it into the final Hook score, as instrumental

    Are you thinking of the national anthem of Israel- Hatikvah (The Hope)? Wow, I had no idea that was the Israeli national anthem! Always thought it was an original JW tune. I wonder if it bears any connection to the Mozart piece? Such an amazing forum, every once in a while you get a mindblowing post/link like this! How cool is that documentary, fantastic is an understatement. Thank you indy4!! No prob, SF1_freeze! You should check out Bernstein's other videos on YouTube, he did a ton of musical education stuff.

    It is mozart's Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" Thanks!

    I will never understand the continuing backlash over a relatively small and easy-to-adapt-to change in the MB's format. i think its fine as it is

    My favorite composer honoring my seoojs favorite...nice I was wondering if this had been cancelled a few weeks ago

    Anybody know what particular piece by Mozart Bernstein is playing at 27:45? It reminds me of Munich. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1eZYYBqIo4

    These are the ones I posted in the other thread

    i hope you're right! He did a similar thing for Conversations (premiering a few movements before the entire piece was written)

    Didn't Maurice Murphy die from a surgeon's mistake?

    This thread is essentially what I was trying to do with the flop I started a few months ago. I'll post some contributions later this week! Already enjoying some of the above posts.

    In what way? I hear similarities here and there, but overall I'd say it's an entirely different appraoch to space music

    The opening of JW's sinfonietta is also similar to the same part from Shostakovich's 5th. I'm not trying to attach any sort of judgement to these discoveries. it's just interesting to me to hear what pieces have influenced JW. it used to bother me but not anymore, now it's just fun to try and pick them out

    I only have about 13 of his scores. But I like what I have, especially TMP, The Omen Trilogy (especially Final Conflict), Twilight Zone and "Soarin."

    This kind of behavior runs the risk of permanently ruining those great moments. I always try to leave at least a day between listens to the same track, to avoid overplaying it.

    So Williams did score it!
  20. indy4
    One thing that bothers me is that, since its premiere at the baseball game, the tempo has been significantly reduced in every recording. Not sure why this is the case. Maybe Williams marked the tempo slower, but for whatever reason (time shortage, or just a mistake) he conducted at a much faster tempo at the game?

    Great interview with JW on the trumpet concerto: http://www.trumpetguild.org/_72820_archive/1997journal/9705thor.pdf

    I would avoid all the concerti and Heartwood. It sounds like you want something that is easily accessible, and while these are great, they all take some time to truly appreciate. His easiest to digest concert works are: - Liberty Fanfare - all his Olympic pieces (there are 4 of them) - Fanfare for Fenway - For the President's Own - Sound the Bells!

    Perhaps you're right, but as I said I think JW's version at the World Series in Boston a few years ago was far superior. largely because it tried something different.

    official facebook page for the project: https://www.facebook.com/MontageFilmComposers Like it to get updates and to show support for these types of recordings (which we certainly need more of for JW's music!)

    Hi everyone! As many of you know, JW’s “Conversations” for solo piano is being released along with solo pieces written by Michael Giacchino, Alexandre Desplat, Randy Newman, Don Davis and Bruce Broughton. I recently became the manager of the facebook page for this album. If you want updates on the album, or if you want to show your support for quality recordings of JW concert works, please ‘like’ the facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/MontageFilmComposers Thanks!
