    I love Esprit de Corps. We played it in a Wind Ensemble I used to be a part of, great trombone part.

    I really think that the limiting factor in Desplat's HP scores was Yates' musical wishes, not an inability on Desplat's part to write something grand.

    I like it. It's not incredibly complex or new, but it's an emotionally effective listen.

    indy4 got a reaction from Smeltington in Conversations - New Chamber (piano solo) by John Williams   
    Great news!!! This is the response I got from the concert venue:

    So we're getting at least one more movement, and an eventual recording!

    I have, an insane number of times. To Rich directly too. To you too! Who reads the booklets?? Blah, blah, blah...

    indy4 reacted to Thor in Hans Zimmer started on INTERSTELLAR   
    When did I say that, exactly? Just because he's one of my favourite composers doesn't mean that he hasn't done his fair share of clunkers (like all composers -- including Williams).
    I don't mind people disliking him, and I don't mind being in the minority (as usual). I also don't mind a serious discussion of a person's music -- the positive and negative. I do, however, severely dislike cheap shots, prejudice and attacks on a person.

    Gilligan's Island. These people are shipwrecked, lost at sea, away from their loved ones, and likely to die, and Williams treats it all as one big joke.

    indy4 reacted to Thor in The music of John Williams' grandchildren   
    Gee, thanks for the encouragement!
    Seriously, though, it's fine if you think that. Hopefully, all of this will end up in a book some day. Then all of these details will prove crucial -- both about the personal life and the music (which are often connected).
    I've already started writing a biography of sorts about the years 1932-1958. I think it's unfortunate that no real JW biography exists (this is one of the most famous composers of the last 50 years, after all), so a while ago I decided to take matters in my own hand and do the research on my own.
    Maybe if it gets published some day, you can benefit from it too?

    Yeah, For 'the President's Own'. Now that we finally got every single fanfare they've premiered a new one (just a few days ago).
    Thanks for your successful research, Thor!

    Plus, it looks like the Clinton speech was from the day before the fanfare performance.
    EDIT: Um, guys? I've found it.
    Repeat: I've found it.

    I think we should support this financially. Maybe when TLW is rereleased we'll get another digital expansion, but only if this one sells.

    indy4 got a reaction from Incanus in JW discusses Nixon   
    This is one of JW's best interviews, I think. It's rare that he goes so in depth about a score (ie mentions the effect of the electronics referencing bombs in Cambodia). I wish he did this type of thing for more scores, and for longer periods of time. Thanks for posting!

    Apologies if I am going off on a tangent, but how should one analyse Diagon Alley? Horizontally, vertically or somewhere in between?
