This week on “Picture Perfect” we disclose John Williams’ latest.
“Disclosure Day” will be at the heart of the program, which will feature music from all four of Steven Spielberg’s cinematic musings on intelligent life from other worlds. Has there been another director so fixated on extraterrestrials? Regardless of what one may think of the latest film – for a movie pushing unity, reactions have been unusually polarized – new music by John Williams is always cause for celebration.
We’ll hear 18 minutes from this, his 30th score for Spielberg (composed at the age of 93 & 94!), alongside musical selections from the director’s other otherworldly films, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “War of the Worlds,” and “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.”
“Disclosure Day” proves you can’t go home – unless, of course, you’re E.T. – but the music can still be out of this world on “Picture Perfect,” now in syndication on KWAX Classical Oregon!
