Any John Williams fan will tell you that one of the hardest questions they can be asked is "which one piece from John Williams is your absolute favourite?" It's such a difficult question to answer, mainly because of course the maestro has written so many wonderful and memorable masterpieces.
However if we tweak the question slightly and ask "name one of your favourite pieces from John Williams?" then that's not so bad as its not asking for your all time favourite and that's exactly what we're going to ask you here on The Bearded Trio. We want to know some of your favourite John Williams tracks.
The best answer will win a copy of the two CD "John Williams Soundtracks" performed by the The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

ReplyDeleteSuch a hard choice, I've grown up listening to these scores! A personal fave of mine though is Bugs and Secret Tunnels from the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom score. It's such a visual treat! How JW can convey billions of writhing bugs and caving ceilings using music is just magic. Never fails to get my heart racing and tongue quoting! We.are.going.to.DIE!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - so many good ones. I'll pick The City in the Clouds today. ESB is my favourite picture, and this track has it all. Pathos, wonder, excitement - starts with Luke and Yoda on Dagobah, then swells into Leia's theme. There's menace and danger and beauty - and Boba Fett.
