Thanks for comments and updates, folks!
Have you forgotten about this CD already?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006WDHDA4
Ah, that's right. I never got that set because I already had everything on it. But true, that has the "Happy Birthday Variations".
Everybody gets the name of this piece wrong
Actually, Pete, the correct name IS "Fanfare for Ten-Year-Olds", not "Ten-Years-Old" -- which would have been a weird way of saying "10th anniversary" anyway. I know this because I contacted the person who commisioned the piece from Williams in the 80s, the manager of Charleston Stage (or Young Charleston Theater Company, as it was called then - a theater company for kids).
Is it original John Williams used in the Rogue One teaser trailer shown at the Star Wars show in Anaheim ?
No idea. Isn't it adaptations of his existing SW material?
You can take the Oboe Concerto off the list... it was released in 2013. Download-only, no physical CD, but an official release of the live premiere with Keisuke Wakao and the Boston Pops.
That's right. It's taken off the list.
My memory is failling, but I remember reading in a Boston Globe Article (by Richard Dyer) that Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill provided lyrics to a song version of the 1992 "Celebrate Discovery".
I think there're also lyrics to "We're looking Good" but cannot confirm.
Thor ?
John Williams wrote also a short fanfare for his japanese fan club called "JWFC fanfare"
Never heard of lyrics to "Celebrate Discovery" (my favourite JW fanfare, btw), but you could be right. There were definitely lyrics to "We're Looking Good", written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, but this version does not exist anywhere. The only version available is a bootleg version, and that's purely instrumental. Maybe if someone scoured the footage from the 1987 Special Olympics in Indiana?
As for a theme for a fan club, that sounds like a joke or urban legend?
The list of his compositions for NBC is endless from 1985 to the recent years. One of his most interesting composition is the one he did for the NBC Olympics teaser for Athens 2004.
John Williams also wrote a signature theme for a local Los Angeles TV Station in 1978, where his wife Samantha was working.
There's a lot of NBC music, true -- especially if you count bumpers etc. -- but in terms of brand-new, original themes, we're only talking a handful or two over the years.
Never heard of the Los Angeles TV station theme thing. For some of these 'new' things, it would be great with a link or source of some kind, if any exists.
