Love it! A fitting tribute. Nice quotes from Williams in the article. Now we just need a Fanfare for the Dedication of John Williams Music Building!

Quote

Someday this will all be mine!

 

[Badzeee 155]

Ah. This is… lovely.

 

Spielberg:

 

”Without you, the films are running around with no clothes on; with you, they’re completely finished. I’ve often said that if my movies can bring a tear to your eye, your music makes that tear fall down the face.”

 

Well… yeah. 

[geom_00 127]

A Fitting tribute to The Maestro!

 

Guess the Mrs. and I will have to take a tour of the Sony Lot so we can get our pictures taken next to the building!

He should compose music for the elevator.

Funny how the only person without glasses is the almost 92-year-old JW.

[Jay 45,823]

Figures this happens right after our Hook booklet mentioned all its old names (MGM / Westside / Sony / Streisand).  What a fitting place it could have been to be the first liner notes to mention the new name!

I was trying to figure out what the building was previously called? Because it seems from different articles that the scoring stage itself will remain the Streisand Scoring Stage, but now within the Williams Music Building. 

[Jay 45,823]

Oh true, I didn't think of the building and the stage carrying two different names....

[mrbellamy 8,074]

Yeah this Deadline article clarified it is the building with the Streisand stage and the Cary Grant Theatre (mixing stage) but I couldn't find any info on what the building had been called. Maybe it was just an unnamed building in the studio complex, or Sony Music Building or something generic. 

 

Now we have a new acronym for our lexicon. The JWMB, baby.

Still would have been neat to mention in the booklet that the building the score was recorded in is now named after him.  Oh well.

Wow. This must feel overwhelming. I can't think of anyone who deserves this more than the Maestro.

Spielberg never runs out of brilliant bon mots about JW's film scoring!

Also, with J.J.'s presence here, can we finally put to rest the notion that Williams has some sort of lingering distaste toward him?

 

Also also, your move, Juilliard!  Do they have yet to name anything after him?

Sadly not my department. Or even my part of the company.

Well deserved, it seems like it was inevitable.  

 

On a side note, was I the only person not aware Dario Marianelli is scoring the new Ghostbusters?

I wasn't, but I'm not following that franchise, so I figured everyone else probably knew.

 

One very minor caveat: Is it just me, or does "John Williams Music Building" sound awfully generic?

[Jurassic Shark 16,364]

You're right.

@Jay@crocodile Who daya think you gonna call? Ghostbustas, capisce?

"OK guys, we have a music building and it's dedicated to John Williams. But what shall we call it?"

"...the John Williams Music Building?"

"That's it!"
