Tom 4,654 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Perhaps a thread already exists, but I thinking about what JW pieces evoke Easter and/or Spring. His fanfarish channels summer to me, Lincoln screams Fall to me, and his Christmas music hits winter. I would go with The Map Room: Dawn for the religious side and Sleepers Reunion and Finale for Spring/rebirth. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2022 25 minutes ago, GerateWohl said: Stanley and Iris Fun fact, unless I missed one this is actually the most recent JW scored film to open in the January-April window, traditionally the doldrums of the movie release calendar. And prior to that you have to go all the way back to The Fury. JW's too A-list to score Spring openers. EDIT: Nevermind I missed Rosewood, which was a February opener.

Bespin 8,480 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Spring never inspired John Williams it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,495 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Summer, winter and autumn are fairly easy to pick, but "spring" Williams is trickier. If we're venturing into religious landscapes for Easter, he has a number of pastoral cues that would fit the bill. In fact, that's my favourite part of Williams' sound. Here's an ancient article from the very early 2000s, in an early incarnation of Celluloid Tunes, that lists some of these things: https://web.archive.org/web/20040619032742/http://www.celluloidtunes.com/williams.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Now, Easter in terms of... "Resurrection", maybe... The Rise of Skywalker, Dracula... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igger6 894 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I find “Dry Your Tears, Afrika” a great evocation of rebirth after suffering. Honorable mention to “The Patronus Light” and whatever the climactic Patronus cue is called (“The Dementors Converge”?). Will and Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellosh 3,418 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 While they don't remind me of Easter...maybe spring a bit more....when the weather starts to get nice is usually when I listen to nothing but the 4 Indy scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 4,654 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Excellent suggestions. As I think more about it, A Song for World Peace has a springtime feel to it. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 “The Eleventh Commandment” has that biblical/resurrection vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
