[Fmpro] FMPRO Digest, Vol 37, Issue 33

[Mark Henderson]

I am not a huge John Williams fan (although he gets more work than I,  
so who's to say) but I love his scores to

-Schindler's List
-Catch Me If You Can

The first is so very passionate and melodic. Love the themes. The  
second is very cool period style pseudo hip jazz flavor.

Your methods may vary.
