Popular Post Darth Mulder 153 Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 I don't get why people thinking that Zimmer is the best living composer. This must be say by those who do not know his working procedure and using additional composers. I don't wish him death, but I do not wish him all that glory he has. He doesn't deserve it and his place on the list of greatest living geniuses is pathetic. Edmilson, Bayesian and JTN 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Williams writing a fanfare for the 2028 LA Opening Ceremony would be a wonderful capstone to his career. Hopefully he's able to. (Conducting the piece would be even better, but that seems like too much to hope for given that he'll be six years older by then. Then again, with JW, you never know!)

Naïve Old Fart 9,449 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Wouldn't that be a thing; to see the 96 year-old JW step on to the podium, to conduct the opening ceremony? It really would be the crowning glory of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piece itself would not be a major piece of work, but the fact that it would come at the end of a phenomenal, and transcendent, career, would be significant. Anyone who might witness this at the ceremony, would be applauding the man, rather than the heard music. When people get lifetime achievement awards, it is not the work, but the worker, who is being honoured. So it would be with L.A. 2028. Of course, all this is pure conjecture. To answer your question; in the public eye, he will be always remembered for STAR WARS. No question. For me, his "crowning glory" is CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. 50 minutes ago, Darth Mulder said: I've been thinking about it too. So, how to propose it to the official organisers of the Olympic Games??? You make them an offer they can't refuse. You place a contract in front of them, which guarantees JW will write said music. You then hold a gun to their heads and say that either their signatures, or their brains, will be on that contract. They'll sign.

If one doesn’t believe that a deity exists, “him” is grammatically correct. Or, it could be a simple typo. As we are not allowed to discuss things of a religious nature (thank you, Mods!), guess we’ll never know. Considering how many times I’ve seen a lot as one word and supposedly educated people not knowing how to use an apostrophe, I know where I would be putting my money if I were to bet on it. P.S. That thank you was not sarcastic. Back in the 90s I went to a wedding when my date and a mutual friend got into an argument about [political topic]. It got so bad that I exasperatedly asked if they would please discuss something less controversial like the JFK assassination.
