I’ve been fascinated with film music since elementary school, when I got a cassette tape called “Kid Stuff: An Afternoon at the Movies,” which featured Mr. Williams and the Boston Pops.
No one exemplifies this better than Mr. Williams, who is still composing at 91.
Mr. Williams accomplished this by inviting the trumpet section of the London Symphony Orchestra to blast away in its most piercing register.
As he has with other cues, Mr. Williams has given this particular set piece an afterlife in concert performances.
Keep your eyes shut!” Maybe then we’ll stop passively hearing film music and begin actively listening to it.
