Subject: Appreciation and Admiration for Your Work
 
 
Dear Maestro John Williams,
 
On behalf of Creativa Estudio in Colombia, we would like to express our deep admiration for your work and the way you have transformed the world of cinematic music. Your ability to capture the essence of each story and convey it through your music is a source of inspiration for all of us who love this profession.
We completely agree that the true magic of music lies in the sensitivity of the composer and the connection with the musicians, beyond the electronic resources. That authenticity is something we strive to cultivate in our own work.
Although we are a small, growing company, our dream is to one day contribute to the music and audiovisual industry at the level you do. Should you ever need a passionate and dedicated team to collaborate on any production, it would be an honor for us to offer our expertise.
Thank you once again for your inspiration and the invaluable legacy you have created. We hope you continue to move us with your music.
With sincere respect and admiration,

PROFESSION/EDUCATION: Professional musician with an emphasis on performance - trombone, music and audiovisual producer, founder of Creativa Estudio and currently a professor in the area of musical technologies at the Universidad del Valle.
FAVORITE JOHN WILLIAMS SCORE(S): My favorite score by John Williams is undoubtedly Schindler's List. The way the music intertwines with the images in that film is profoundly moving. The experience of watching and listening to this piece of music instantly transports you to that era, with an emotional intensity that envelops you. Each note seems to reflect the tragedy, the suffering, and at the same time, the hope represented by the story. It's as if Williams' music tries to extend the duration of Schindler's list, making you wish that list had never ended—reminding us of humanity and the possibility of redemption even in the darkest moments. And other Saving private Ryan, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones
FAVORITE NON-JOHN WILLIAMS SCORE(S): Kill Bill, 1900. Duna, Interstellar, Gladiador, Pirates of the Caribbean.
FAVORITE FILM(S): E.T., The Pianist, ROMA, Harry Potter, Saving private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Godfather, Inception, The Origen.
FAVORITE DIRECTOR(S): Steven Spielberg, Alfonso Cuarón, Christopher Nolan.
SPECIAL INTEREST(S): I have a deep interest in how music and visual storytelling intertwine to create profound emotions. John Williams has been a great inspiration to me, especially for his ability to tell stories through his compositions. My dream is to one day contribute to the music and audiovisual industry at the level he has, through my company, which is small for now. However, in every project I undertake, I aim to capture the essence of each story and convey it through music.
VISITING THIS BOARD SINCE: 2024

Does anyone know where I can procure the sheet music for the solo cello/orchestra version of With Malice Toward None as recorded by Yo-Yo Ma?

I have finally made a YouTube upload of John Williams's Concerto for Clarinet [and Orchestra] (1991) featuring clarinet soloist John Bruce Yeh and the Chicago College of Performing Arts (CCPA) Symphony Orchestra, Emanuele Andrizzi conducting. All of the information surrounding the recording can be found in the video description, but I also have it pasted below:
 
Video description:
John Bruce Yeh, longtime assistant principal clarinetist and E-flat clarinetist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, performs John Williams's Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra with the Chicago College of Performing Arts (CCPA) Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Emanuele Andrizzi. The Midwest première occurred on Monday, 5 February 2024, at 7:30 pm (DST) at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University.
 
Yeh's performance marks the concerto's first performance outside its original première with then-Los Angeles Philharmonic principal clarinetist Michele Zukovsky and the Riverside County Philharmonic, Williams conducting. The initial première occurred at 8 pm (EDT) on Saturday, 13 April, at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium. Richard S. Ginell, then Los Angeles Times chief music critic, gave a less-than-satisfactory review of the initial première, causing Williams to keep the work unpublished and unperformed until both Zukovsky and Yeh made a concerted effort to revive it. Ginell's original review can be found below:
______
Riverside—Somehow, the Riverside County Philharmonic found itself with a John Williams world premiere on its hands Saturday night in Municipal Auditorium. Not on that, the Boston Pops maestro was around to conduct his new work, a Concerto for Clarinet written for the much-admired principal clarinetist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Michele Zukovsky. For all the attention that this concert might bring Riverside, the work doesn't do much for Williams' own reputation. About 21 minutes long, the concerto rumbles and meanders about in a generic never-never land between tonality and dissonance. Whatever one may think of them, at least Williams' ubiquitous film scores have a distinctly grandiose personality and flair, whereas this faceless concerto seems to go out of its way to avoid its creator's imprint. The piece did give Zukovsky a good workout with its skittery, showy solo flights over the routine orchestral sheen—and she delivered the goods with agile strength and liquid tone. However, the Riverside orchestra's own contributions were compromised by truly wretched amplification. As bookends for his concerto, Williams hauled out two of his infinitely memorable crowd-pleasers, the March from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Adventures on Earth" from "E.T.," which the orchestra executed with overall cohesion despite some very rough edges. After intermission, the orchestra's music director, Patrick Flynn, too over the baton with a Dvořák "New World" Symphony that settled in vigorously after some misshapen wallowing in the first movement.
