Happy birthday, Maestro! I was somehow convinced his birthday was in May... Off the top of my head, you missed JURASSIC PARK, REY'S THEME, THE RAIDERS' MARCH, SUMMON THE HEROES, ACCROSS THE STARS, and FLIGHT TO NEVERLAND. There's two more hours of JW music, tonight, on Classic FM, the Radio 2 show, on Friday, of course, and I'd expect Andrew Collins to mark his birthday, on Saturday (Radio 3 has a programme on William Alwyn). bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jay 37,359 Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2017 Mike Matessino says John Williams will be celebrating his 85th birthday with a small gathering of close friends in the general vicinity of a Steinway. No fanfares other than the ones he composes. Then, no doubt, it will be right back to work. Doing what he does keeps him doing what he does. Happy Birthday, Maestro, and many more -- it's not only your music that inspires! https://www.facebook.com/mike.matessino/posts/10210485646112909 crumbs, Cerebral Cortex, Will and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Wow, two songs into the amazing Boston Pops stream, and I just heard "Pops on the March" for the first time ever! I thought I was past discovering completely new Williams pieces, especially a rollicking one like that. What a great JW Day present from the Maestro! Newbies, if you haven't heard this one, check it out. The stream narrator(!) says he composed it as a posthumous memorial for Arthur Fiedler, after declining Fiedler's request for an honorary composition before he died (due to film obligations). Can't believe I wasn't aware of this piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
