filmmusic 1,823 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Does anyone know in what libraries there are Film scores of John Williams? (except his own library of course) I know this so far:-Sibley Music Library: Alexander Courage Collection (Complete Superman sketches, a couple of cues from Hook, Spacecamp, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade, Home Alone, If we Were in love theme, Supermn IV score)I had seen once information about Schindler's list (i think it was located in MArgaret Herrick's library, I'm not sure, but the reference is not there anymore).Any others?

filmmusic 1,823 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Have you tried the library in Ghostbusters?Well, although I didn't understand what you said at first but I did with the help of a friend, there isn't anything there. I just searched.and I mean the original handwritten full scores or sketches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETMusic 1 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Jo Ann Kane Music has A LOT of his scores (or copies of them at any rate) since they handle most (if not all) of his copyist work when he's recording in LA. However, you're not allowed to make copies and I think you can only get in to study some of his scores if you have permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 John Williams has his own personal library where he bounds his scores in leather and puts them on a bookcase. As somebody who doesn't conduct or read full scores, I'd love to get a chance to go through that bookcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,037 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Not yet... In all seriousness, though, since I could be any creeper, I just want to be clear that at most all I'll ever do is walk by the house. Probably silly for me to give this disclaimer, but I just don't want my joking to give the wrong impression. (That being said, if the maestro happened to be stretching his legs on his driveway, I might say hello in passing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ultimate holy grail!I understand that, Koray, and ordinarilly, I would love to get my paws on some of them, too, but HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it's called "stealing".Please find your sense of humor. You seem to have misplaced it. No one here was seriously suggesting robbing Williams of his property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
