Jarbas 1 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Due to the current polls about the best of Williams in... 21th, 90s, etc... and because of some scores incredibly rejected by the fans... now is the time to judge our knowledge about the work of John Williams... The question don´t want to silence: We´re prepared to choose the best of Williams????? Let´s find out that in this poll.I´ve watched (the score inside the movie) or listened to more than 80 Williams`scores!!!!!! ___Add up album listenings with the scores you only heard in the film_____ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarbas 1 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 I expect to have explained the poll correctly... do you have add up album listenings with the scores you only heard in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Crap. I misinterpreted.In that case, it's 43, or 44, depending on whether you count those two measley cues from Family Plot that are officially released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, The Rare Breed released suite could be counted as one score... in my interpretation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 How does listening to more scores prove you have a greater knowledge of a person's work? You have to study it and really listen to it to be considered an expert. You have to have at least some sort of musical expertise to claim that title.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well that way one doesnt get knowledge about music in it's technical form.But hearing the works gives you knowledge about william's works... You can opine more about Williams' scores if you have all than other people who dont have a few. Because you know those scores and the other doesnt, even if he/she is a composer himself... But the music one can have more depth and understanding of the scores. He can know better about Williams style, but not about his works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
