A Score To Settle Podcast - Episode 19, Listening To... John Williams (Part 2)

Welcome to the next new episode of the podcast! In this installment, I return to my focus on that most famous and renowned film composer, John Williams. Previously, in Part 1, I charted Williams's career beginning with his TV and early film work in the 1960's, also noting that even prior to this he made a career as a session player in orchestras around Hollywood, on other composer's scores. I then progressed through the 70's, spotlighting themes and scores that often go unheralded and overlooked while noting certain developing musical hallmarks.

Part 2 commences with the 1980's and continues through to Williams current era of marvelous musical contributions to cinema, again highlighting often overlooked scores that were composed alongside the popular blockbusters. These include titles such as MONSIGNOR, THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK, THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, JFK, SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET and MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA. 

I hope everyone who listens will enjoy the episode, finding it both entertaining and engaging! As always, forgive any technical or factual errors on my part.
