About the Composer of the Theme from Jurassic Park

John Williams, composer of the Jaws Movie theme, has been writing music for over six decades. Have you seen Home Alone, E.T. Extra-terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Superman, and the first three Harry Potter films? These are just a few of the movies for which John Williams has composed musical scores. John Williams described his Jaws theme as “grinding away at you, just as a shark would do, instinctual, relentless, unstoppable.” John Williams has also composed concertos, sports event and news channel themes, such as the themes for the 1984 Summer Olympics and NBC Sunday Night Football. John Williams has written the scores for most of Stephen Spielberg’s feature films. He also served as the principal conductor for the Boston Pops orchestra from 1980 to 1993, and is currently the laureate conductor. John Williams has received 51 Academy nominations, with only Walt Disney receiving more.

Somewhere In My Memory (Home Alone) | Easy Piano Sheet Music

ktkwanix

Somewhere In My Memory is from the official soundtrack of the 1990 box office hit American Christmas comedy, Home Alone. The film stars Macaulay Culkin as the protagonist Kevin McCallister, who was accidentally left behind by his family as they were about to fly to Paris for their Christmas vacation. All alone in their home in Chicago, Kevin has to fend for himself as he tries to protect their home from burglars. The film was the highest-grossing live action comedy film in the United States as well as worldwide until 2011.

With over $400 million as its gross earnings, it is no wonder that the film garnered several awards and nominations including one for the film’s soundtrack. Its nominations include an Academy Award for Best Original Score and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

The soundtrack was composed by John Williams and was released by Sony Classical on December 4,1990. The film’s director, Chris Columbus, originally wanted Bruce Broughton to score the film’s soundtrack but a prior commitment kept him from the engagement. Columbus then contacted Steven Spielberg who helped him connect with Williams to produce the score. Somewhere In My Memory quickly became a hit with professional choirs to school bands and orchestras for their annual Christmas concerts.

About Vince Guaraldi

Vincent Anthony Guaraldi (1928-1976) was born Vincent Anthony Dellaglio in San Francisco’s North Beach area. He was an innovative American jazz pianist and arranger. He most remembered as the composer, arranger, and performer, for the Peanuts animated television series by Charles Shultz, and for his performances with Cal Tjader’s band in the late 1950s.

While searching for music for the upcoming Peanuts Christmas special, Lee Mendelson (the Christmas special’s producer) heard a radio broadcast of Guaraldi, “Cast Your Fate to the Wind,” during a taxicab ride. Mendelson decided to ask Guaraldi to compose the score for the TV special. Guaraldi enthusiastically accepted the job, and two weeks later shared a version of what would become “Linus and Lucy” to Mendelson over the phone. The Vince Guaraldi Trio went on to record the music for seventeen Peanuts television specials in total, along with the feature film “A Boy Named Charlie Brown” (1969).

Lyrics for O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child,
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!

About Swan Lake Ballet
Swan Lake is a ballet, op. 20, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed 1875-1876. The scenario, initially in four acts, by Vladimir Begichev and Vasiliy Geltser was fashioned from Russian folk tales as well as an ancient German legend, which tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse. The choreographer of the original production was Julius Reisinger. The ballet received its premiere on February 27, 1877, at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow as The Lake of the Swans.
