He really missed a bet though by not having guitar solos by...John Williams.

That would be too many Williamses (Williamsii?)

Yup, I've been thinking about that ever since the movie came out. He also got another chance with the guitar concert piece "Rounds", but again it was for a different guitarist.

At least the guitarist John Williams has recorded music by the composer John Williams (an adaptation of the SCHINDLER'S LIST theme).

Seems an appropriate time to regurgitate my old story about when my dear wife bought me the CD "Images - John Williams", knowing that I loved the music from the Altman film, and the work of the great composer in general. Unfortunately it was the baldy long-haired guitarist "John Williams" and the title "Images" had absolutely nothing to do with the Altman film.

He, he....at least her heart was in the right place!

Curiously, I can find no album by the guitarist John Williams named IMAGES....??

Another interesting thing about the guitar bit is that when Williams wrote "Rounds" for the Spanish guitarist Pablo Sainz Villegas, Villegas had previously won the prestigious Parkening guitar award named after Christopher Parkening who played on STEPMOM. So it's all in the family.

You had me worried there. Nothing comes up on a quick Googliation. However, I do have the disc now in my hand, and in the absence of brains regarding how to take a photo of it and post it, I'll tell you about it instead.

Seems that "Images" is an umbrella title for a series of compilations featuring a number of musicians. "Images - Acker Bilk"; "Images - Bert Kaempfert" etc. The Williams one was released in 1989 on "Knight Records", although every track has, curiously, a 1976 date after it. There's "Cavatina, featuring Cleo Laine", "Theme from Z", "House of the Rising Sun" and some Bach pieces. I think it's just a cheapo thing.

Not bad, but not as interesting as the film score IMAGES, by John Towner Williams, whose charming soundtrack for STEPMOM is really lovely and somewhat underrated.

I see. I think it must exist on the internet somewhere, but the fact that it's called 'images' means that you only get hits of actual images of the artist. I'm guessing it would be part of this series?:

Ah yes Thor. That's part of the series (same letter-type etc). Done on the cheap by the looks of things.

Very considerate of them to cater to our obsessive/compulsive filing systems!

Does Patrick Doyle finished his score before Williams took the work ?

Yes. Musicians included (all I have been able to find):

Phil Yao on French horn.
And Robin Olson on violin.
