I've always loved music scores. The first scores I remember falling in love with were "Nadia's Theme" from The Young and the Restless by Vorzon and Botkin, and Dynasty by Bill Conti. I was too young to really comprehend what was going on during the broadcast, not that it mattered. I watched these shows with my grandmother solely to listen.
In the world of scores, there are greats, but in my humble opinion, none compare to John Williams. The man is just a brilliant maestro. His works are some of the most revered in not only classical music circles, but of the movie industry as well. I had the opportunity to see him conduct last year, and it was an incredible concert. Even my ten-year-old was thrilled to hear 'The real guy who made Star Wars.' The repertoire included of course, the aforementioned three, as well as themes from Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, and Lincoln. He returns this August to the Hollywood Bowl (323)850-2000, and I wait with bated breath!

John Williams is such a talented composer. I always wonder if people will still be listening to his music centuries from now. Long ago, royalty commissioned music. Nowadays, I think movies have taken the place of royalty. Attending a concert of his music conducted by the composer himself must have been fantastic. I bet it was a thrill for the orchestra, too.
ReplyDeleteThe excitement that evening was palpable. I agree with you. Artistic media certainly rules the day. :)
DeleteI do believe people will appreciate his music; I certainly hope so. Thank you so much for your visit!
