always view them as young-men willing to grow if given the reins!

and morgan freeman to play god again

SteveBurnsideRE1 ....because George Burns passed away.

But not anytime soon, please! We love having him here on earth and wish to continue to enjoy him and his creativity for many years!

I don't have an inside view but somehow I think if you could see into heaven God would be smiling and nodding in ascent, saying "amen."

...and the great composer Maestro Jerry Goldsmith

That's a really good observation.

That's Copland. No "e."

This is a good one. Another you may enjoy by John Williams is the Olympic Fanfare and Theme, 1984. I listen to this almost daily. Makes me feel so happy, like anything is possible!

@@ellenyesyes thanks!!

stephen cuunjieng you're Welcome !

Tiomkin was asked once how he, as a Russian, had such a feel for Westerns. His reply: "a steppe is a steppe."

I agree, whenever I hear the overture of the Cowboys, I immediately think of John Williams they go hand-in-hand. When I first saw the Cowboys, when it first came out, I was 12 years old, and when I heard the first time the overture I was captured I never heard such and I love the way the music had its up and down and changing tempo. And for every change of tempo you remember the temple that went along for the scene of the movie especially when it came to Bruce Dern’s part. You knew right then and there that the scene was changing and so is the mood in the atmosphere. Only John Williams can do that.

Wow

Mary Mattis then listen to Korngold.. He is the father of Williams in musical sense

Ask thomas Newman, he knows the answer to your question ,)

***** or hanz zimmer

SteveBurnsideRE1 Hans zimmer knows the answer only because he's the one responsible of the fact that such movie music like williams does, disapeared.

my son will take his place!

make him great Musician. Let him chase his dreams :) all the best buddy

Groucho did a wonderful job 5 stars

for some reason, my The River cd doesn't get much love

He IS a fine Classical and Romantic composer.

@@davidanthony4845 No, the Classical period ended around 1800, gradually replaced by the Romantic period, that lasted as long as Rachmaninov lived, well into the 20th Century.

the complete score is currently available on CD, from Varese Sarabande I think

Wear a helmet!

***** It went very well!

I have to play it but third trombone isn’t difficult.

Tom Greenough Percussionists love fun parts like that! Much better than tacet. It’s also two mallets, which is cake compared to the four mallet concertos they all practiced in college and used to audition into the orchestra.

GGbreizh he is talking about the video quality not the players.

Yes

now 8

Now 14

I don't have a better recording than this, but feel free to find one and post it. (it's not youtube compression, the source is like this). I know that someone posted a better recording of this concert on youtube, just search better. I'll try with time to upscal all of williams video but the sound can't be upcaled.

what do you mean ?

That was a little harsh. The production crew didn't know the score. You have to know who is playing what to have the camera on whoever is doing the solo work. In other words, you don't show violas doing their little off beat accompaniment during other instruments' solos. It just makes for a lot of missed opportunities. They did better on some other videos where they followed the soloists around the orchestra. They did a much better job on Summon The heroes conducted by John Williams.

Hoo of course they don't :( ... it's unfortunatly always like that in the majority of concert, any of them.

the concert in vienna of john williams at the end of the year will be filmed and broacasted on Tv ! the first one since... since the boston pops i'm afraid. i hope they'll do a better job ! we'll see, as it's certainly a unique opportunity !

If you watch any of the Hollywood in Vienna programs you will see they are well prepared. The cameras are sequenced right with the score. See kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ad6jg5amkqm6f2g.html

Some french horn player must have stolen his girlfriend at some point and he is getting his revenge.

It is prefect fun as a hornplayer :) With a solid team this is just such a brilliant oportunity to show of :D

I spend the whole piece worrying about that high trill at the end, LOL. What a dirty trick!...but also a gift in terms of great opportunities for bragging rights.

Also, One2onepoint618, you were on that 8D. Don't forget the smaller bore horn you tried from Balu and just screamed out those high parts like they were nothing. Thanks also for just ripping into that opening lick any time you got bored in rehearsal--no matter what piece we were rehearsing, haha.

Well, if it's any consolation, it certainly IS fun to hear.

NewPaulActs17 your loss. :P
