igger6 reacted to bollemanneke in Any recordings of the Rise of Skywalker concert material?
Could we now have a PROFESSIONAL orchestra and conductor doing an album with all the suites as published? I don't understand why these things don't happen for more of his published works.

igger6 reacted to Andy in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Disney Records Original Soundtrack Album) - NO FILM SPOILERS!
And yet Magical Mystery Tour made it into the soundtrack for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny! It all makes sense now.

This is the worst title anyone could possibly pick for an article about John Williams. Almost had a fucking heart attack.

igger6 got a reaction from Brando in NY Times Article: "How to Write Music for Rolling Boulders"
Thumbs up if you think @Falstaft has the germ of an amazing podcast in this article. Imagine a primer on musical techniques of film scoring, with examples from Williams and others, illustrating elements of composition for the musically uninitiated. Rather than doing episodes on individual film scores like so many podcasts have, you could explore tools of the trade like stretto, fugue, ostinato, etc. The Underscore podcast feinted in this direction a bit before it fizzled, but your knowledge base could really make it soar. Think it over!

Nah, just John Williams Park. When he's gone, somebody will have to make that. With lots of differently aged Williams clones (the non-autoerotica versions). There will be different compartments where you can watch John Williams compose the scores for Fitzwilly, Jaws, Star Wars, etc., including the theme for John Williams Park itself (a march, obviously). Visitors will drive around the park in automatic cars with a running commentary narrated by Harrison Ford. The clones will have a gene manipulation so that they cannot reproduce should they escape.
(…do we *really* want John Williams to find out about this place?)

This is sensational news! Arguably a bigger deal than the Bouzereau documentary.
I love the description: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, A.I. and BotFoJ. Yep, that’s pretty much the big five.

I’m more worried about him seeing the Plagiarism/Homages thread…
Also, I must say, the inclusion of Williams interviews instantly and vastly outweighs any gushing from collaborators. I’m sure all those other sources will have nice things to say, but bring on the beard!

It wouldn't surprise me if when you opened the book it was just that story typed out a gazillion times (kind of like this:)

I'm not going to lie—I was excitedly curious how quickly this news would hit JWFan!
For those who don't know me, I've been writing about film music and interviewing composers (and directors and actors) professionally for the past decade. Besides the many liner notes, I also write articles and create radio stories for mainstream news outlets like the L.A. Times and NPR. I teach a film music history course at USC. And I've been a card-carrying member of this site since 2003.
I won't divulge too much just yet, because it's still a little early, but I was excited to finally make it public that this book is happening. I've been working on it for three years now, and I've interviewed approximately 150 people. The big kahuna, of course, is John Williams. I plan to share the story of how that happened one day, but not yet.
Thanks for your excitement! I can promise you that there are many things (stories, facts, quotes) in this book you have never heard...

Where can I pre-order a physical copy in case it is limited and sold out before being released?
