RomanticStrings 10 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Does anyone have any clue where the Meet the Press theme came from? My trumpet teacher said that the credits say John Williams composed it, and the music sure sounds like JW, but I've never seen or heard it mentioned elsewhere. Is it part of a big Mission Suite? Any ideas will be accepted. Conor ~ Jubilee 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter 0 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Yes, that is by him:In 1985, John Williams wrote four themes for the NBC Network: ?"The Mission" for the NBC Nightly News.?"Fugue For Changing Times" for a Connie Chung news magazine.?"Scherzo For Today" for The Today Show.?"The Pulse of Events" for special reports and later for Meet the Press.I found it here.~Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I've always wanted the theme from "Meet the Press". I think it sounds more missionesque than "The Mission Theme" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DU Lou 1 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Does anyone know of any releases with more NBC themes on it? Your help is appreciated!!! There are some RA Clips of the NBC themes on http://johnwilliams.home.sapo.pt/ or at least there were. I tried to get to the multimedia section and it seems to be down. I cant read Portuguese tho so I may be doing something wrong.... The RA clips are of reasonable quality and I say "reasonable" since they seem to be the only "recordings" for the time being...Hope this helps a lil bit at least a start in the right direction....Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
