What is your favourite John Williams Reunion?

[Pat_S 69]

I had a weird idea for a poll after noticing that Williams' OST album titles frequently contain the word Reunion. So I put together this poll with each one that I could find. 

I'll be the first to admit that I've probably left out one or two of his older cues, but I'm not very familiar at all with those (and I didn't think many would vote for them anyway), but feel free to let me know what I missed. 

And I know that Raiders is fairly different from the others, but I had to follow my own rule of the title containing 'Reunion', so sorry about that.

This is just for a bit of fun and for a weird way to compare different pieces. 

 

And side note: I've just used the titles from the OST tracks, so I ignored original cue titles and expansions. So yes, the WOTW Reunion is referring to the one that appears on the OST. (I didn't want to list every version)

i always wondered, does JW choose the track titles for the original OSTs?

Can't remember all the reunions.

I couldn't say.. he must have some input though, considering he produces the albums

I'd assume the OST titles begin life having the same titles as the cues that they contain, but then get shaped into more consumer friendly ones as the album comes together.  Whether Williams come up with every single title used himself or just approves ideas given out by those working on the album with him, who can say

 

There's no reason to think he doesn't title the original cues himself, though

[Brónach 1,302]

he has repeating quirks in the original cue titles, but also in the ost track names

The ____ Scene

The Boys _____

Enter _________

[Jay 37,369]

Nah he does that elsewhere, Hook has a cue titled "To War!!"

[Bellosh 3,419]

War Horse - The Reunion

My vote as well

Terribly tough competition between A.I. and JANE EYRE here, but ultimately, I would have to give it to ol' Jane.

i do hope these types of polls always continue on jwfan

 

today at work I listened to all of these, and it's always a fun way to re-discover cues and new ones.

If anyone cares, I'm happy to make more if I think of any

Cool poll topic. Lots of good tracks.  I went with AI.  It is unbelievable to me how good this score is.  A LTP would be fantastic, though it would probably be a tough sell.

Home Alone 2 for me. Kevin being reunited with his mom at the end warms my soul.
