I liked it, and found it moving. I interpreted the lyrics not to be about a farewell romance, but about someone trying to keep believing after their loved one has been taken away by the Nazis to the camps. The reference to Anne Frank reinforces this. I'm sure Williams and Spielberg would not have allowed this if they felt the song and video would be in bad taste - assuming permission was granted in the first place.

Thanks for this list Jofi. Quite detailed. My dream project is converting JW scores into arrangements for solo or duo pianos. One day... who knows?

This format has many names: - partitura, - full score, - orchestral score, - conductor('s) score, and - open score. "Deluxe score" is used mainly for marketing/retail purposes. It's the music score that shows what each instrument plays throughout the piece. Each instrument, or instrumental group, is given its own stave (set of 5 horizontal lines). In this way the conductor can see who's playing what and when during the piece. This format differs from "reduced score", or "piano reduction" format, where all the orchestra parts have been compressed / reduced / whittled down to a format that can be played on a single piano, or single piano plus another instrument.

Ah... I stand corrected and clarified. Cheers for that. 🙂

Was it not both Stephen Spielberg and Ron Howard who saw the first cut of TPM (with other director-friends), and suggested to Lucas to intercut various scenes in the last reel?

"very unique" Grrrrr. Civilization's end keeps progressing when a label like DG resorts to destroying the English language.

I am in awe and admiration of your Indiana Jones figurines (the Star Wars ones look cool too, but I have some of those)

Thanks. Much nicer image(s).

I think you'd look nicer if your hair was parted on the side

Don't look at it! Close your eyes!

I thought if another expansion was about to be released it would be Born On the Fourth of July, to be released on ... (duh) the Fourth of July.

Indeed it is, but as much as I like that ominous "uber" statement of the Imperial March in the intro, my taste is that I hunger more for the rest of the AF material, which the concert version repeats.

I'm the total opposite. I prefer the concert arrangement to the film version. Vive le difference.

I think the biggest mistake made with this release was not what was released, but the way it was described and marketed. Once I realised the UE was not a UE in the way us fans understood a UE to mean I was actually fine with the release. I think if this release was described and marketed simply as "the score as heard in the film" or some such then it may have been met with less derision by us fair jwfan folk.

"Always (Better Than Zimmer)" Or, "Why I Won't Let 'Storia Una Donna' and 'Sugarland Express' Be Released But 'John Goldfarb Please Come Home' Is Out There For All the World To Hear."
