For Will’s eighth birthday, one of his presents was a trip to NYC to see John Williams conduct the New York Philharmonic playing film music that he had composed and that Bernard Herrmann had composed. The
concert program was incredible. The first half was devoted to Bernard Herrmann’s music, and included selections from Vertigo, Psycho, Taxi Driver and other films. For some pieces, the associated film footage was screened behind the orchestra. Each of the Bernard Hermann pieces was introduced by Martin Scorsese. The second half of the concert was devoted to the John Williams / Steven Spielberg collaboration. John Williams played music from a variety of films including Jaws, Close Encounters, Schindler’s List, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, ET and others. In addition to the official program, Williams played a number of encores, including OF COURSE the theme from Star Wars.
