Popular Post SteveMc 2233 Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 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. This is good. Bayesian, crumbs and Bespin 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Penna 1308 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 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 post Share on other sites

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. And THE PATRIOT is fitting. Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Stu 10579 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 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. Link to post Share on other sites
bruckhorn 30 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 C-SPAN (or C-SPAN 2) is probably the best bet for blather-free broadcast. Off to set my DVR... Link to post Share on other sites
crumbs 8380 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 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).

This non-PBS one (the account is Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies) is not cutting away randomly from the audio feed. I haven't missed any of the performance since switching to it. It might cut to different cameras but the audio feed has remained consistently the band. Link to post Share on other sites
