Mike Matessino justed posted this on his facebook page:
 
"For ---'s  sake, tomorrow's the Fourth of July! I got to do a full essay on the music for this which the Maestro himself said he was very impressed with. Very humbling to get to work on these things."
 
 
Details from Monodotees page:
 
"One of the finest achievements in film music and quite possibly the most iconic score of all time, John Williams’ score to JAWS is an absolute essential for soundtrack collectors. While the Grammy-winning 1975 MCA album was a re-recording, Mondo’s 2XLP set presents the entire Academy Award-winning score as composed and recorded for the actual film in its first-ever vinyl release. Album co-producer Mike Matessino restored, edited and mixed the music from the original studio elements for the best possible quality, approved by the composer himself."

And apparently the first Brachiosaurus scene was tracked with this:
 
 
Then there's this:
 
 
 
Close Encounters seems to be a direct influence in the Raptor kitchen scene, although we could argue that's more Williams style for writing suspense music
 
 
 
And I'm pretty sure the Backdraft march was a influence in the "mission" theme of Jurassic -it was heavily used in the trailer for both the original movie and the sequel
 
 
 
And for TLW
 
 
 
That's all I can remember right now

That is literally what Star Wars was from the very beginning and what it's always been.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but today I was re-listening to Alien 3 after a very long time and I must say I had forgotten how great it is. The film may be uneven but the music is absolute perfection, and quite risky for an early 90's blockbuster. 
 
 
I don't know if this particular sound is cliche by today standards but I adore it nevertheless. It's freaking fantastic.
I'm not adding anything new to the table but I just needed to share my love for this score. I dare to say it's the best score of the franchise.

Maybe it was a way of welcoming a fairly well-respected director, not necessarily that he was their savior.

Jurassic Park is plagued with temp-track! Doyle's Henry V, Zimmer's Backdraft, Williams' own JFK, Close Encounters and there's surely more I'm not remembering right now... TLW seems to have some Silvestri's Predator 2 temp-tracked in there, particularly during The Raptors Attack.
 
Thinking that Spielberg, as efficient as he is, would not use temp-track is quite foolish. Remember Jaws was tracked with Images, but that was one of those cases that Williams decided to go against the man as he felt the film had a different tone instead, both the primal side of the shark and the pirate-like nature of the second half of the film. 

There's nothing random about the action music in TFA.

The second one is even better!

Treating this thread as one for general Disney music.
 
A new Mickey Mouse cartoon came out this month that my daughter is in love with.  It's called "Swimmin' Hole" and there's a nice little musical callback/reference at 2:40.  There's later a bluegrass arrangement at 3:00!  Hats off to Christopher Willis (the credited composer).
 
 

Surely you can't be serious.

Here is what has been said by an orchestra member from the sessions:
 
"After 37 film scores he still blows me away!!... always throws something we haven't heard! "  Let that be absorbed in good light. December is yet so far away!

And I think I'll play all of Sneakers to wrap up the day.

Apparently, the track list has changed.

Probably source cues for those gala scenes that were showed very early on. 
 
Maybe jazz waltzes?  

And there are Waltzes!

This probably means a new composer will take over as well.
