lead orchestrator of the engraving house John Williams sends all his material to nowadays.

[Tom 6,395]

Something for tomorrow's concert?  Revised part of concerto?  Or is that too rushed?

I looked on his IMDB and he seems to have worked for pretty much every major composer in Hollywood: Powell, JNH, Beltrami, Silvestri, Thomas Newman, JW... Seems like a very well connected guy and someone every big name composer can trust.

Maybe that new piece Williams is writing for Yo-yo Ma? If not for the concert, maybe there's a recording session?

[Tom 6,395]

There is something altogether comforting (and bittersweet) about his Instagram post.

And with that warehouse of scores...it makes totally sense!

 

Well played Mr Williams

"That jackass thinks that I will write him a concerto for a package of Oreos.  They are not even double stuff."  

[BB-8 5,947]

He honestly thought he would be getting a piano concerto by John Williams (in something of a rush).

There is the lovely Prayer for Peace arrangement on the CD for guitar and cello.  My idle speculation/money would be on a reworking of it for something else (piano, violin?) so it can be performed tonight.

He owns JoAnn Kane Music Service, arguably the biggest name in music preparation for films. (Music prep is the process of rapidly creating the finished sheet music based on what the composer, arranger, or orchestrator provides. In the olden days, that meant handwriting the conductor's score and every player's part. Now it's accomplished with software like Finale or Sibelius.)

[Jay 45,153]

Since Williams isn't in LA at the moment - he's in Philadelphia for a concert tonight - surely the only reason Graham would have to "rush" anything from Williams would be because it's being performed tonight in Philadelphia (and probably again Thursday at Carnegie Hall)

[BB-8 5,947]

Helena's Theme for cello?

If you never saw it, Finale did a very cool interview with him in 2017 about their process lately with Williams

Can you share a story of a time when things didn’t go exactly as planned?

I can remember one incident on a “Harry Potter” film. There was a short cue he’d written for a kind of unusual small band and there were no strings. There might have been an accordion or a keyboard or something like that.

So I got a call to go out to the podium. And he said to me, sotto voce, “There are no strings on this cue.” We looked at it together and I said, “Well, you didn’t write any strings.” And he said, “Well, you know what to do.”  [Laughs]

So I provided the string parts from his keyboard sketch and within forty-five minutes or an hour they had strings and that’s the way we did that.

Any idea which cue he's referring to here? Something from PoA?

I assumed the night bus

[Datameister 2,561]

I've always assumed one of the source cues from SS or POA.

I thought, it was Double Trouble. 

[pete 1,298]

Perhaps this was just some minor revisions to the cello concerto or Just Down West Street? But would Williams make last minute changes if he wasn't conducting?

Double Trouble for violin and cello.

[Jay 45,153]

So if this rush wasn't for something performed in concert last night in Philadelphia, it was probably for something recorded yesterday in LA.

 

It could just be like, another arrangement of Galaxy's Edge for a theme park or something.

Or for one of these Disney(+) products in the making?

Because it's taken from a score that was written 65 million years ago and got frozen in amber.

Turns out it was just a Door Dash order for Thai Curry.  Williams was a bit confused on the process.

As far as I know, he always orchestrates his concert works in full himself, so a sketch would generally imply it's for some kind of movie or TV project.
