Frosty 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I heard the other evening about Williams writing a second Bassoon concerto, this time for David McGill of the Chicago symphony. The person I heard it from is a bassoon player and graduate of the Eastman School. I haven't been able to get hold of him to find out where he heard this from, but I will pass on information as soon as I hear anything.In the meantime, if anyone else out there has heard anything about this, please share. And no, I'm not getting this mixed up with the up and coming Viola concerto.Any help would be...helpfulFrosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scissorhands 16 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Great rumours!!! Williams has a lot of time until Indy 4 to write more concertos (unfortunately, not enough for an opera). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty 0 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Update!The source of this rumor about another Williams Bassoon Concerto comes from... David McGill himself.No news about when this is supposed to happen, but from the sounds of it, it will happen in the near future. Stand By...Frosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 2,924 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'd rather he scored a movie insteadoh well another concerto that sounds antipodal to his film music that I'll listen once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I agree, I'd rather hear a new score than another Bassoon Concerto. one is more than enough.But Williams can do whatever he wants. He left us, He left us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 964 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 What's the problem with you people. He rather do his own music that to score Hollywood crap!!!Hooray for Williams then, for finally listen to his buddy André Previn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant 1,093 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 This is nice but I would prefer him to do an Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 203 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm happy about this. Perhaps with the inclusion of more concert works in his repetoire his music will become more accepted by traditional concert ensembles and critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 That Opera is a long time coming, so I certainly hope he can get to it in the next 5 years. However, I'm glad to hear this rumor, which actually has some merit, and doesn't sound like another crappy false rumor. I'd love to hear another Bassoon concerto, and I'm really anxious to hear this Viola concerto. With Indy 4 next year, 2008 could be a great Williams year, with a long awaited score project and two concertos.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I guess he's more interesting in tackling projects for specific instruments. I suppose concerti are more challenging for him, or drive his interest a bit more than writing a general work for orchestra.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
