The Force Awakens John Williams talks The Force Awakens
pete replied to karelm's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
That phone interview transcript reads like well-prepared written responses. If ever there was an 83-year-old mind untouched by age, it is his^. -
The Force Awakens The Force Awakens For Your Consideration (FYC) Album
pete replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I'm forgoing the micro editing and just moving around some tracks and leaving others as alternates at the end of my Force Awakens playlist. One edit I did make was I separated Jedi Steps so that lovely melody has its own track and the finale starts with The Force Theme before the credits start. -

The Force Awakens Rey's Theme – John Williams' Best Theme Yet?
pete replied to BLUMENKOHL's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I don't know about the best - the idea would have never occurred to me without this thread, but certainly I feel the flute solo at the end of The Scavenger is up there with Williams' most beautiful moments. -
The Force Awakens The Force Awakens - Score Reactions from Reviews, etc
pete replied to Lewya's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
That's my experience with most Williams scores with the exception of the ones I was already familiar with when I started collecting (ie the big ones) and a few others. A new score is always not exactly what I was expecting - how could it be? And it takes time before it feels like it truly belongs in Williams' canon. Of course, every score belongs in that canon, but it takes time for a new score or work to feel like it belongs in the Williams' library of my mind. New scores often initially feel like unwanted and obtrusive intruders. The same goes for new works by a lot of other musicians. What I've come to realize is that a Williams' score always grows on me as its melodies, harmonies, and other little intricacies cement themselves in my mind. I might not grow to love every piece of course, but there are always pieces or sections of pieces that eventually give me much more pleasure than my first listen indicated. The first few listens might not do much for me (there are exceptions), but at some point during a later listen, a little light goes off in mind, and suddenly I can't wait to listen to that piece again and again and again. A real sense of expectancy and excitement precedes each subsequent listen. -
Perhaps this belongs in a Star Wars thread, but which one?

All, or at least most, of the orchestral parts played on guitar. I so wish I had thought to do that.

The Force Awakens Force Awakens ABC TV Spot - CONFIRMED premiere of Williams' score!
pete replied to Tom's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
For what it's worth (and that might not be much), I'm convinced it's new Star Wars music by our boy Johnny. -

pete replied to scallenger's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
What's The Catamaran Race track? I have the OST, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding track on the first disc. Is it a concert/album arrangement? Argh, I guess "More Boating" is a likely candidate. It's much shorter though.- 509 replies

I'm guessing Williams, especially for the arrangement of the OT themes. It was wonderful hearing Han Solo and the Princess!

JKMS Tweets John Williams quotes from the podium of recording sessions
pete replied to Not Mr. Big's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Is Jerry Williams also a musician? -
A back ailment was given as the reason John cancelled some summer concerts. I think what happened was some assumed that back ailment was the reason for John not scoring Bridge of Spies. As I mentioned above the press release announcing Newman was on board didn't mention a back ailment. No conspiracy here folks^
-
What a quack!!!
-
The original press release announcing Newman coming on board in place of Williams simply mentioned a minor health issue. http://fromdirectorstevenspielberg.tumblr.com/post/113957068040/full-press-release-about-john-williams-departure Where did the talk of a back problem originate? And he has had back problems in the past, so perhaps his back was acting up as well.

Tommy also mentioned playing Last Crusade source music in Guitar Player magazine. I recall he included a few bars of the score. Sorry, I no longer have a copy of that magazine.

I'm only interested in the CD with the green alien chick on it. She was the first woman I ever fell in love with. And one of the few that hasn't since broken my heart. -
