2 Chrissie Takes Another Swim** 4:38 So, Maestro Williams seems to have remembered this actress for some reason.

Besides Hook and the first Harry Potter there was, in addition to 1941, two other Williams trailer scores, both of which I got to mix: Bachelor Flat and None But the Brave. 1941 is unlike those others because it does not have the theme that would be ultimately used in the score. Understandable as it was composed a year before the movie opened. I'd be curious to know if there are any more besides these. Did Nixon really have original trailer music? Mike

Does Williams often write the music for trailers for Spielberg movies? If not, then why 1941? The only other one I can think of is "Hook." Why these? Probably no profound reason. In both cases, the trailers called for original music (they're teasers rather than montages of clips -- though Williams has scored those kinds of trailers too, for "Nixon" and the first "Harry Potter"). Most film composers have done the occasional trailer score, from Korngold to Goldsmith, and on and on. Why sometimes and not others? As often as not, it's probably just whim. Perhaps whim, perhaps scheduling. "Gee Steven, I'd like to score the trailer, but I'm working on the score for Oliver Stone's next film."

Does "Chrissie Takes Another Swim" on Disc 1 feature the JAWS motif as heard in the film? Or does it have Williams' original take, as it was also presented on the OST album? I ask this because, from what I know, the JAWS theme was tracked from the actual film score. It of course features Williams' original intended music, which we've always had on the OST. In the final film, they replaced that section with music literally tracked in from the Jaws recording sessions. Easy to do as both films were owned by Universal. One thing I didn't know before - the actress in that scene is the same as the one from Jaws!

Perhaps whim, perhaps scheduling. "Gee Steven, I'd like to score the trailer, but I'm working on the score for Oliver Stone's next film." Yes, "whim" was too casual a term. Clearly, there has to be a compelling reason to compose original music for a trailer. The "Hook" teaser consisted mostly of a stylized treasure map, with almost no footage from the film. It required a rollicking piece of original music to provide showmanship. (The later trailer, with footage from the film, was scored mostly with "The Witches of Eastwick.") And schedules have to align. All I'm saying is, asking "Why this one and not others?" is looking for a rule that doesn't exist.

Okay, it's the 27th! (Eastern time, anyway.) HOW MUCH LONGER?
