At 88, Williams hopes to "someday" visit Spain. He really seems to intend to live until at least 100. He mis-pronounces "Morricone", though.

 

The name is very similar to macaroni.

I hope he writes Princess Asturia's Theme

Hopefully someone can translate for us! As for the labels on the books, looks like:

 

STAR WARS

 THE RISE OF

 SKYWALKER

         MUSIC BY

WILLIAMS, JOHN

There’s not enough detail to really discern anything other than just the general lengths of the words. But the look of these is consistent with the only glimpse I’ve ever seen of the bound sketches:

 

 

Based on that, I’d say it’s more likely to be:

 

STAR WARS

THE RISE OF

SKYWALKER

             

MUSICAL SCORE

 

And based on the size of those Black Sunday and Star Wars volumes, I’d venture all three of those pictured may be for TROS, given its length relative to the original (226 minutes recorded vs. 92).

So yeah, probably the leather-bound scores. I'm sure @BrotherSound would give anything to have 20 minutes with these!

There's two more large ones just to the right of them!

[Edmilson 7,398]

So it needed three books to contain all the countless alternates Abrams made Williams write?

Good catch! Slightly higher resolution photo:

 

Not sure why the middle book doesn't have anything on the spine. And are the numbers in the middle 7, 2, 7?

The middle book is obviously the score to Episode X, which according to the Star Wars Disenchantment thread, has already been made and is in the can.  

[King Mark 3,626]

No it's the complete score to Galaxy's Edge that would fill 3 c.d.'s

[crumbs 14,305]

There's 27 alternate openings!

I think those are just decorative marks, with the middle one is upside down, so the title of the middle book would be on the other end. I think I can just make out “VOLUME 1” if you turn the image the other way around.

Also, hearing him, it sounds like the only thing preventing him from going to Spain to receive his award is the pandemic...

 

I mean he just went to Europe this year. Slightly longer flight too!

Personally, I'd really only like to see him get one prize, the Polar Music Prize.

 

Not that there has been enough good news lately, but ... The Polar Music Prize Laureates of 2022 will be announced on February 8 at 08.30 CET.

 

Well, the date is perfect to highlight a certain composer who deserves this award for sure.

Do you think the coat would cover the turtleneck?  

 

Williams is the      opposite of who should win this award.

 

Will he take the train to get there?  

 

This award sounds like a real bear.

The date is interesting, but I doubt he will be one of the nominees.

This doesn’t really relate, but Anne-Sophie Mutter performed in Madrid, Spain yesterday (no Williams unfortunately, but Mozart, Beethoven and Franck) which was attended by the Queen Sofia of Spain.
