From this album http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Angeles-Master-Chorale/dp/B004799X5S/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1388432738&sr=1-3&keywords=night+journeys+hollywood Don't judge the piece by the sound quality of the OST, it is abominable.

Listen to JW's 'Night Journeys' from Dracula, it's one of the best tracks he has ever written.

Kilar and Williams are my favs

Bartok's greatest piece. Btw from 19:04 onward has been a direct inspiration for JW's 'T-rex Rescue and Finale' (most notably the transition at 21:00). I dare bet that it was used as temp track.

I always secretly agreed with Schoenberg's qualification of Stravinsky: "little Modernsky"

One of the greatest, and one of the last. And a personal favorite, gone. Sad day.

The Book Thief (2013) - New Williams film score!
MSM replied to scissorhands's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Remarkable indeed. Let's hope you are right. It all depends on the musical talent in Hollywood, but more even on the choices modern directors make. I hope Hollywood sooner or later realizes that movies benefit from a timeless symphonic score. -
1) Sergei Prokofiev 2) Gustav Mahler 3) Erich W. Korngold 4) Bela Bartok 5) William Walton

I think it has to do with JW's personal budget. In the Jaws days he wasnt that established. A composer has to rent his own orchestra, he wasnt able to spend $100,000 on hiring the LSO back then. Nowadays for any of those films he would have used his present-day size orchestra.

The Book Thief (2013) - New Williams film score!
MSM replied to scissorhands's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Nuh-uh! That character is not fat! Tuba is reserved for fat, ungainly people! It is going to be a whimsical woodwind moment I tell you! This is going to be scored with bassoon + pizzicati from the low strings. Think of the more gentle and sensitive high notes that a tuba can produce! True, in the hands of a lesser composer, the tuba is ideal for mocking those who are a little bit chubby. But this is Williams we are talking about! He's not afraid to take that old cliché and spin it around so that it will become something fresh and new. Alex You think the girl is chubby? -
Teddy Roosevelt! What an awesome subject matter! And Robin Williams can reprise his role from Night at the Museum! Speaking of Robin, he's gonna portray another US president in an upcoming film The Butler. Yes, looking forward to that film very much Btw it is obvious that Bill Clinton should be played by David Morse, who did an excellent Clintonesque Washington in 'John Adams'. Didnt know that another Kennedy movie was being made...I think the definite film (series) has been made with 'The Kennedy's'.

It did to me at first as well, but it can work out quite differently depending on the script and the director. What similar projects do we know from this director? I checked Rotten Tomatoes. He's done one movie and it's sitting at 50% but he also directed Downtown Abbey apparently. This is the writer's very first project I believe. To me it seems pretty rare that JW works with such a low-profile director. JW really must love that book. Anyhow it sounds promising, as this Downtown Abbey should be a good series. Time to finally go and check it out. Well, he did write a theme for a Japanse fan site once. Who's gonna ask? -

I'm afraid the picture is too small to make anything out of the sketch - some notes on the computer are legible though. Its obviously C Clef! At the end, the time signature changes to 4/4 - you know what that means, right? Change of shots. -

Great news!! A freshly (re)new(ed) collaboration... Happy it's not another Spielberg movie for a change! Spielberg movies are getting too sentimental these days. Nice pics btw, never realized the proof reading means literally reading and manually correcting, sitting at a kitchen table... -

1) Congo 2) The Mummy 3) The Ghost and the Darkness 4) The 13th Warrior 5) Supergirl although some might have been pretty cool even without a JW score.
