John Williams Wins Grammy for Helena’s Theme

John Williams adds another Grammy to his buckling mantle, in the category of Best Instrumental Composition, for “Helena’s Theme,” the only good thing to come out of the execrable “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”

Williams was also nominated twice in the category of Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, for both “Indiana Jones” and “The Fabelmans.” This brings the composer’s career Grammy tally to 26 wins and 76 nominations.

Ludwig Göransson won the Score Soundtrack award for his overbearing music for “Oppenheimer.” It’s not been a great year for film music, folks.

In truth, I could care less about the Grammys – as apparently the Grammys could care less about classical music – but if they can sell a few more records or bestow a little more prestige on classical artists, then good for the artists.

Feel free to Google the rest of the results.


Grammy Award-winning “Helena’s Theme,” arranged for Anne-Sophie Mutter

I prefer it in its original guise for orchestra (as if I could get any grumpier)

Congratulations, John Williams.
