| | John Barry (composer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | John Barry, OBE (born John Barry Prendergast on November 3, 1933 in York, England) is considered one of the "Big Four" of modern film composers (the others being John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and Henry Mancini). | | | After taking a correspondence course (with jazz composer Bill Russo) and arranging for some of the bands of the day, he formed the 'John Barry Seven'. | | | Barry told the court he had been given a music manuscript of a work by Norman (intended to become the theme) and that Barry was to make a musical arrangement. |

| | John Adams |
| | John Adams himself must shoulder some of the blame for the confusing state of contemporary music, for he has long been one of the more innovative and genre-crossing composers on the classical music scene. | | | And few classical composers have succeeded in incorporating rock influences, despite classical music's long history of taking popular music as its inspiration -- look at Vaughan-Williams' use of English folk music, the jazz-influenced experiments of Ravel and Stravinsky, and Bartok's beloved Balkan folk music. | | | Adams has also recently written a piece called John's Book Of Alleged Dances for string quartet and sampler, which will soon be recorded by the Kronos Quartet. |

| | Don DAVIS Jurassic Park III : Film Music CD Reviews- August 2001 MusicWeb(UK) |
| | Davis tells us in the interview that he was recommended for the job by John Williams himself, who made all his original score materials available and discussed several new sequences with him when they saw them assembled. | | | Davis has the essentially thankless task of following in John William's footsteps, being asked to incorporate Williams' themes into his own new music and opening himself to all sorts of criticism - much as Ken Thorne did in adapting Williams' Superman music for the later instalments of that franchise. | | | John Williams' classic score to "Jurassic Park" introduced me to film music, and although I rarely play the album anymore ("The Lost World: Jurassic Park" actually receives more spins), every recollection of it warms the heart. |

| | Encyclopedia: Ernest John Moeran |
| | Moeran was one of the last major English composers to be heavily influenced by English folk-song and thus belongs to the lyrical tradition of such composers as Delius, Vaughan Williams and Ireland. | | | Ernest John Moeran ( December 31, 1894- December 1, 1950) was an English composer. | | | Though he first received favourable critical attention for his chamber music and continued to composer significant works in this genre, his greatest achievements in general are to be found among his few large-scale orchestral works, including a Violin Concerto, Sinfonietta and Serenade. |

| | SoundtrackNet : Interview - Don Davis |
| | Right, because there are some aspiring film composers are seemingly trying to write like John Williams or "be" the next John Williams. | | | Aside from being a film music composer, you're also a concert composer. | | | It seems that it isn't fruitful for film composers to try and build on that legacy. |

| | It isn't far from John Williams to Holst and Prokofieff (in fact, it's too close for some listeners!) and from Bernard Herrmann to Bartók. | | | He's also very successful with Danny Elfman's otherworldly music for "Edward Scissorhands." Williams's "Devil's Dance" from "The Witches of Eastwick" is great fun until one realizes that the composer won't (or can't) do much with the tune except repeat it - not Mauceri's fault, of course. | | | Interestingly, Mauceri includes Alex North's original fanfare; Kubrick was right to discard it in favor of the Strauss (which was a temp track) - North's creation is too militaristic, even pompous, for the film. |
