Signed Scores, DVDs, etc.

I don't have any with me (they are all at my parent's house in England), but signed scores I have:

The Star Wars Anthology Boxset, booklet signed by John Williams

The Fisher King soundtrack, presentation box signed by Terry Gilliam.

Plus I have many many non-film composers signatures, including Messiaen, John Cage, Boulez, and many more thanks to getting my undergrad at the University of Huddersfield, home of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

Godzilla

Blazing Saddles

Masters Of The Universe

Meteor

I think I also have some Brian Tyler scores that I bought used that appear to have been signed by him. I've never seen his signature but it looks like it says Brian Tyler.

The first was sent to me by a friend from the UK, I never got to meet Nyman in person (although I attended a - lacking - concert by him here in Austria). The second one is from Goldsmith's two final London appearances, where they collected stuff for him to sign on the first day and gave it back on the second day. The other three I got in person.

Oh I also got a signed figures for Kira, Q, and Quark that I met in person at Star Trek conventions a long time ago.

I had the opportunity to get a signed figure of Riker from Jonathan Frakes but back then I was young and stupid and wanted a model over going to the convention to meet him. I still kick myself in the ass to this day about that.

Man, those photos take hours to load. Hey, Marian, who signed the Korngold cover? I cannot tell....

I forgot to mention that: John Mauceri, after his outstanding film music concert in Vienna in 2007. The Adventures of Robin Hood, Between Two Worlds, The Enterprise, CE3K, Harry Potter and tons of other great stuff.

Most of those are actually my brother's. I have The Dark Knight and Signs, and he has his own The Dark Knight, Blood Diamond, and The Thin Red Line. We met Hans and James in New York last summer where they held a signing. As for the Jeff Rona scores and the Geoff Zanelli one, they signed those when he bought them online. He met Trevor Rabin at The Great Raid premiere in DC, I believe, and that's where he got all those signed. That's also where he got Shakespeare In Love, The English Patient, and Pulp Fiction signed.

And he got my Criterion of Traffic signed when he met Benicio Del Toro at a screening of Che in DC.

You got John Mauceri's autograph!? That is awesome! I had no idea he conducted all of those, though....

I got Tim Minear to sign one of my Firefly DVDs.

That's about it though. Barely missed getting JW to sign a KOTCS CD last year. I do hope to get another chance someday.

I'd much rather meet Kira than Riker any day!

The only score item I've got that's autographed is the OST for Terminator 3, signed by Beltrami. I got it in a contest through MovieMusic.com back when they still had contests.

Well not on the CDs, of course (except that Korngold up there), but at said terriffic concert. Robin Hood duel at film speed (not flawless at the concert, but pretty much so at the final rehearsal... the Viennese RSO is great). And an Enterprise that beat Goldsmith's own LSO performance. 2nd installment, this time focused on Steiner (last time was Korngold) coming up this fall. I wonder if they're gonna throw in some Lost World on the Williams side.

Me too! I also have Star Wars, E.T., Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and Far and Away from the few Williams concerts I've been to.

Totally jealous of Koray's JNH ones and Blume's Lost.

Eh, let me see. I have all David Arnold CDs signed that had been released up until Die another Day or so (which kept the man busy for some time). Ice Age: The Meltdown, X-Men 3 and Paycheck by Powell. The X-Files: I Want to Believe and Coeurs by Mark Snow. Two Medal of Honor scores by Giacchino. The Book of Stars by Richard Gibbs. All the Rivers Run by Bruce Rowland. 24: Season 4 & 5 by Sean Callery.

I could have got more, but frankly I'm not that interested in them. They're nice of course, but that's it. I'd love to get a Williams one though.

My friend is going to NYU for her oboe performance master's degree this coming fall, Mark Snow happens to be an adjunct professor there, perhaps I'll send a bunch of CD booklets with her..

I have most of the autographed CDs that BSX and LaLa Land put out in the past year. In addition to that I have "I Have Never Forgotten You" signed by Lee Holdridge and "The Dark Knight" signed by Zimmer and JNH.

Yeah, that was such great luck ... I have a privilege of being a very good friend of a young and very promising Italian composer (also writes a lot of film music) who works with Morricone on a regular basis, so it was no problem at all for him to take a couple of my CD booklets to him to autograph them. :P I also hope to meet the man personally sometime, I was told it wouldn't be a problem. Maybe in December when I travel to Rome with the symphony orchestra I play in. :blink:

That's great. I had pleasure seeing Morricone during the concert, but there was simply no way I could approach him after.

Hey,

I'm new here. But I wanted to share my special autograph!

Way back in 2003 (I think) I picked up a copy of the Return of the King Soundtrack at Barnes and Noble. Opened it up, and was kinda upset, because they'd crammed two 'collectors' cards into my jewel case. And then I saw it.

The first card was insignificant. The second one though... was a picture of Howard Shore and Peter Jackson, posing next to some big drums, with BOTH of their autographs! I couldn't believe it. To this day, the only info I can find about the thing is here: http://www.soundtrac...article/?id=116 "Apparently, if you bought the Limited Edition soundtrack to The Return of the King and found an autographed photo of Shore and Jackson, hold on to it! They personally autographed 500 photos, and put them randomly into various LE releases!"

Boy, as a 14 year old burgeoning film music fan, was I stoked!

Oh, and also The Cape by Bear McCreary, but nothing to out of the ordinary there.
