[Fmpro] Where are the Distinctive Voices In Scoring?

[Alcheh Daniel]

I cannot believe someone can put Giachcino and Williams in the same  
category.
It is just ridiculous. Williams is a composer. If the art of film  
died tomorrow and ceased
to exist Williams would be conducting, performing and writing  
symphonic music (music
you like or dislike). He's a real musician. Giacchino and his ilk are  
working in the business
of writing effective music for film. Without the structure and paid  
helpers afforded by the business
they would still be practicing reading C clefs. They would be selling  
comic books if not for their multiple
computers, orchestrators, assistants and lots of money..
I want to see Giacchino sitting behind a grand piano accompanying Yo  
Yo Ma in front of a full hall.
Come on people!
By the way, does anyone know Williams' concert oeuvre. His concertos,  
etc.
Might not be someone's cup tea. What does that prove?
