Falstaft 2,132 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Apologies if this has been already posted. Nice video of the whole 1987 July 4 Boston Pops concert, w/ Williams at the helm, up on YouTube. Feat. Johnny Cash! One of the first performances of "We're Looking Good," at 1:15:40. igger6 and Loert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igger6 894 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Wow, between this and "And Baby Makes Three," what a stretch it's been for previously unheard Williams. Actually, I always thought "We're Lookin' Good" was some kind of cheesy song Williams had written. How excellent to discover it's actually a playful cousin to 1941!

Biodome 714 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not sure if it's the right thread for this, but I randomly heard a few guys playing some themes from Star Wars at the Ravenheart International Film Festival at the Cinemateket in Oslo. I had just finished watching a film, and managed to film the ending of their performance. The band's name is El Dorado, and from my understanding they specialise in film music.

Popular Post BuzzLightyear 143 Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2022 To celebrate the 90th birthday of John Williams, I composed an overture in his honor, called Golden Hall Overture. It was inspired by his European concerts of the last years. When I became a John Williams fan 13 years ago, I made the decision to become a composer myself one day. Since then I've had a degree as a piano player, as well as a few orchestral jobs and many wonderful memories. And in the last few years I was even able to get my first filmmusic jobs for german television. But in all these years nothing has motivated me more than the music of John Williams. His scores are truly fascinating, and the more you study them, the more reverent you become of the maestro's legacy. To this day he continues to amaze me and the fact that he is still full of creative energy is just incredibly inspiring. Although I was never lucky enough to meet him, I believe he was my greatest teacher! I am deeply grateful for all the wonderful music he gave us! In my Golden Hall Overture, I tried to translate into music the feelings I felt at his concerts. I deliberately used his orchestral stylistic devices, and I'm sure some of you will notice a few connections to the Williams scores. It’s a work to celebrate his legacy and in a certain way my birthday present to him.. With this piece I want to say THANK YOU and congratulate the maestro on his 90th birthday!

Tom 4,653 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Yeah, its okay. I would say it plays as someone who takes SW as the baseline and anything JW does different is new and original for him, which just speaks to a lack of willingness to do pre SW research. The "lack of versatility" claim is laughable. Compared to who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
