pjc4591 0 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hello everyone, My name is Pete Chuka, and I live in Connecticut, USA, maybe an hour outside of NYC. I am a huge fan of Mr. Williams work as I know all of you are. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Williams and I have been a collector of autographs for nearly 30 years. I received a wonderful gift to add to my John Williams autograph collection, but I have had no luck identifying the musical quote he signed on the card. As much as I love his music I have never been blessed with any musical ability playing or reading music. My fingers are crossed that one of you with that ability may be able to help me identify this piece. I have attempted to include a scan here, if it does not appear please feel free to email me for a scan at pjc4591@aol.comThank you so much,Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hmm, I don't recognize it. Maybe he composed a little motif for you?Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I thought the first note was C, but then the lack of a barline threw me off. Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 196 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Let's call it Pete Chuka's Theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It's actually very reminiscent of a passage from James Horner's Willow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,669 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Even with my zero musical knowledge, if I take every 'bar to gap' step as a note higher, and vice-versa (I do remember something from my old music lessons), after a minute or two of studying, it kinda sounds a bit like the start of the shakahuchi bit in Wilow's Theme, although the first 2 notes aren't quite right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
