The Magic Of Williams, John. (b. 1932) Signed Photograph Special: 45% Discount [4im9Qvp1]

"Williams is fundamentally a romantic traditionalist, but often blends traditional musical syntax and expression with avant-garde techniques and elements of popular music.  More than any of his contemporaries he has developed the ability to express the dramatic essence of a film in memorable musical ideas; likewise, he is able to shape each score to build climaxes that mirror a particular narrative structure.  Williams has always maintained a steady flow of concert works, mostly written in an advanced but still tonal and intelligibly expressive idiom."  Christopher Palmer and Martin Marks in Grove Music Online
