KingPin 201 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I loved that piece...Does anyone know if/when the sheet music will become available??According to Hal Leonard website...Glad to see it's actually coming! But it's a long way off..Edit: This is odd - the release date lists it for August, but the description lists it for Jan. 31st.I just checked the HL website and the release date has been changed from August to the January 31st date. Not sure how they got mixed up on that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I couldn't spot Williams, but I also don't know where he was actually sitting during the festivities. He could be obscured by a lamp pole, also. I liked looking for the curiously funny people, like those sleeping or doing strange things with their faces (I think it was too cold for that, if you know what I mean).I am amazed at how clear the stitching was, so it looks like one giant frozen moment in time, rather than a very good panorama effect. I do some amateur panorama editing myself (with very good software) and it's still not easy.However, check out this anomaly. I can't upload a photo, so I'll point you to it. Find the big white TV tower that sits directly in front of Mr. Obama's view. Find the ladder on the back of the tower, and the pair of phantom legs to the bottom right of the ladder. WHERE'S THE REST OF THE GUY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Might as well be the one played at the inauguration since the prerecorded one was "tracked', but I'm sure you're all aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DU Lou 1 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Should the Concert Works section of the site be amended to state that "2009 - Air and Simple Gifts" is available as an itunes single?

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 No it should be considered an official release but it should have a note that it's only available thru iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 According to the news item on the main page, Williams re-arranged "Air and Simple Gifts" for string orchestra. I'd love to hear this new arrangement, my guess he did something in the vein of his classic string adagios like "Arlington" from JFK, "Epilogue" from The Fury and "Angela's Prayer" from Angela's Ashes.

Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I found the concert arrangment! Yay! It will be interesting to see if Johnny will take an approach like this for Lincoln, though... If that ever gets off the ground.PS: Sorry for bumping the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
