Question from wife

If you could only listen to one piece of music for the rest of your life, what would it be?

An interesting question…. A complicated answer. She suggested Star Wars or
Home Alone. Star Wars is a contender. Not sure it is the answer.

What about Jurassic Park or Hook? Those are for sure epic.

I think the answer may very well be 1941. 1941? Completed in 1979…. Why? Because you can hear foundational phrases, voicing, pacing and hints of music to come as well as a throwback to the past. The same is true with the original Jaws score. It's almost as if both those works hold the keys to not only came from John Williams imagination - but also the future of John Williams. They're both magical that way. They're both important to catching a glimpse into the mind of the greatest living composer of our time.
