I think there has never ever been a career like John Williams'. That whole 'Jaws' phenomenon - there's nobody that knows how to use music like Spielberg, and John is just the perfect analog to Spielberg.
From David Newman
Playing in an orchestra is where I learned the most about music.
To this day, I adore classical music, and I'm very interested in opera, which I found out later my father was also extremely fond of.
I want to write theater pieces, opera, or some kind of amalgamation where there is singing, music and theater.
I'll probably always write film scores. It's the one place where a composer has almost unlimited resources at his beck and call. When music you have written works well in a film, nothing can beat it.
