John Williams was among the original score and song nominees saluted at the Society of Composers & Lyricists' Pre-Oscars music reception yesterday
There’s nothing like being honored for your 52nd Oscar nomination on your 88th birthday and finding yourself serenaded by 350 of the town’s top composers and songwriters. But that was Saturday afternoon for composerat the Society of Composers & Lyricists’ annual Oscar music reception, which was attended by nearly all of the original-score and original-song nominees on the day before the Academy Awards ceremony.
Noting that he had worked with such Golden Age giants as Alfred Newman, Bernard Herrmann, Franz Waxman and Dimitri Tiomkin, Williams said “the art and craft of doing music for film is still being developed. New approaches, new sound sources, new ways of managing the orchestra, are a very healthy thing. We have a lot to look forward to, and I’d like to be here 50 years from now to see what happens.
Randy’s cousin, “1917” composer Thomas Newman, thanked the L.A. musicians who contributed to his score .
