Hail To The Winner, Anakin Skywalker

Why is this track never mentioned. Brief, but effective. Love it!

What about the Winter Games Fanfare on the Denver CD. That's pretty good, too.

You mean Utah?

What did JW write for Denver? :blink:

Search for The Denver Brass - John Williams album, which is, unless I'm mistaken, the only album that you can find that fanfare on.

I always thought that this snippet could easily be taken from a Puccini opera. It's so grand and melodramatic.

It could be possible. Which of his operas do you mean exactly here?

Not one in particular, but I find those gestures very operatic and very Puccini-esque.

Several years ago I went to a concert where some highlights from Puccini's operas were played. On the concert programme they underlined the true cinematic quality of Puccini's music and they actually wrote "If Puccini was alive today, he would be writing music for the films of Steven Spielberg". :blink:

The final duel from HOOK, derivative of Korngold as it may be. From the point when Robin Williams flies up to Dustin Hoffmann, it's a fanfarefest of biblical proportions.
