Popular Post SteveMc 2,674 Posted January 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2021 It is a testament to the growing acceptance of John as preeminent composer that music made for that movie is being performed at this venue.

Richard Penna 3,671 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 That's a huge number of pieces for a 'prelude'. Is this going to be some bit before inauguration (while all the news channels are wittering on), or during the actual ceremony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in the other thread that posted the playlist for the inauguration, impressive that they managed to sneak some Williams in there. I hadn't expected that this time around.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It's also super cool that there are three fanfares on the program written especially for the ceremony! Peter Boyer and James Stephenson are both very good contemporary composers. I'm gonna try to find a livestream tomorrow that is without commentary or talking heads.

crumbs 14,301 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Great choice of music for the Inauguration. Best of luck to The President's Own on their performances today! Shame that Williams didn't write something new to commemorate the occasion, but understandable given... well, everything.

Bit surprised nothing happened for the 20th Anniversary. Figured it was a shoe-in considering all 3 of the Arnold/Emmerich scores have been expanded by LLL (but it seems the studio/licensing situation is more complex for The Patriot, not to mention COVID and whatever else Mike might be busy with).
