Muad'Dib

Hisaishi's The Boy and The Heron follows in the same restrained footsteps of Williams' The Fabelmans. I've heard this was a deeply personal film, so it resulted in a deeply personal score requiring just a small ensemble of piano and strings, the same instrumentation found in his Piano Story albums. The three tracks titled "Ask Me Why" are the reoccurring melodic theme of the score and each iteration develops it a little more. I liked the theme, but it may not be enough for those suffering from HES(Hisaishi Earworm Syndrome) as this theme may not be as catchy as his previous works. If only there was a fully fleshed out fourth iteration of "Ask Me Why", I'd be very satisfied.

I like to imagine Powell logging into the forum, checking the number of pages this thread has and going "All right! People really liked this score, I'm glad". And then, upon entering, he finds page after page of the greatest insanity that ever graced this forum.
 
I'm sure he'd be laughing along with us

Get well!

How dare you.

I can now say I’ve reminded John Williams which Star Wars film his music is from twice. Once at Carnegie Hall last year, and again tonight! 😂
 
Absolutely stunning night. Maybe my favorite concert of his I’ve been to. The program was perfect. The choir was epic and Duel of the Fates gave me chills as a dream I’d had since childhood came true. I was directly in front of Williams and had more interactions with him than I ever have before (including reminding him which Star Wars “The Asteroid Field” is from).
 
I’m glowing!
 
EDIT: Also, Duel of the Fates’ ending used the alternate version where the choir went up an octave mid-note. Someone here can probably explain it much better than me. Anakin’s Theme got reworked a bit, too!

My pics:
 

Great concert, great night! 
 

Wow, it's been almost four years, but the Hal Leonard Signature Edition is finally out

This is probably my favorite song of hers. I'm gonna miss her dearly.

Williams also played in some tracks of Sinatra's 1958 album "Only the Lonely". Later on, Williams did conduct for him members of the New York Philharmonic on a special gala in the early 80's.

Every now and then I come back to this specific track -such good stuff
