The program notes are out. Anyone going to Tanglewood this Saturday night? I'll be there.
The usual stuff, but more selections done to "film montages" than usual.
The "To Thornfield" selection from Jane Eyre is interesting, as every existing print of the film has that sequence cut out (I've looked at eight different VCRs and DVDs), so you can ONLY hear it on disc or in concert, but not in the film. I did see it when originally broadcast. Well, someday it may turn up.
My concert fantasy: A nice Extended Suite from HEARTBEEPS.
(aka John Williams conducts the lovely music from his biggest flop!)
I went to see it opening night just to hear his music. And I did. I was the ONLY ONE in the theater!

Enjoy! Regardless of the program, it's always a joy to hear it performed by the Boston Pops. The traffic and crowds for film night, not such a joy.

After attending Sunday night's concert at the Bowl, I can finally my own question as to those excerpts of Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan.
This was part of the 2nd half, when the LA Phil was joined by the Cal State chorus, for three specific pieces - those 2 aforementioned and also "Dry Your Tears, Afrika" from Amistad. For Jurassic Park, they performed the second half of "Journey to the Island" to picture, then moved on to the "island adventure" theme set to a montage. This was fun to see as just a few weeks prior I had seen the full Jurassic Park movie with live orchestra at the Bowl, but they had no choir! For Saving Private Ryan, the music for the opening sequence at Arlington Cemetary was performed to picture, followed by an abbreviated version of the main theme, set to a montage (in chronological order) from the movie.
