By: Randall LarsonDate: Monday, December 19, 2005
Award-winning composer John Williams has had a rather fruitful year. He wrote his final STAR WARS score. He scored a Steven Spielberg summer action movie (WAR OF THE WORLDS). He scored a period drama (MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA). To finish off the year, he scored yet another Spielberg movie - this time, the dark dramatic thriller MUNICH. The film is an action drama that tells the story about the aftermath of the massacre of the Israeli Olympic team at 1972's Olympic Games.
Soundtrack.net has posted an exclusive "first listen" to William's MUNICH score, including track-by-track analysis of the forthcoming Decca soundtrack album with sample music clips from each track. The CD will be released on December 27th. The film opens Dec 23rd.
