stuttersteps 1 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 What are your top five themes of Williams' "modern era" (post Schindler's List)?Not which recorded cue is presented the best or which themes lend themselves to concert works. Nor is it limited to those specifically set apart or described as themes; any melody or incidental motif (as rare as those have been of late) is valid. Mine are (in chronological order):Omaha Beach Theme from Saving Private RyanAcross the Stars from Attack of the ClonesFawkes the Phoenix from The Chamber of SecretsRomance Theme from The TerminalAvner's Theme (A Prayer for Peace) from Munich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
