OXFORD ACADEMIC - Tim Greiving: John Williams - A Composer's Life (Buch)

[SilvestriGirl]

Zitat

JOHN WILLIAMS: A COMPOSER’S LIFE by Tim Greiving is the first major biography on the renowned composer. It will be published by Oxford Academic (Oxford University Press) on September 1, 2025.

“Seeking to understand what drove Williams's musical productivity and its effects on the lives of those close to him, Greiving delves deeply into the composer's decades-long career, uncovering countless new stories and revelations. Throughout, he analyzes and describes Williams' film scores, recalling them primarily in narrative and emotional terms rather than purely musicological ones, and in doing so emphasizes one of Williams's principle strengths: his musical storytelling.

With unprecedented interview access to Williams and those close to him, Greiving presents the definitive portrait of a beloved but famously private doyen of twentieth-century pop culture.”
