You are right. But while I'm sure Mr. Williams surely did not mean it, I must say that his smile is actually a bit impish and even sinister looking here, although it is quite fitting of the piece.
@@mydogskips2 I think he really likes this piece, and it shows in his face- he's having fun here. Works extremely well in the context of the film too, but then, this is Williams we're talking about - he is genuinely without equal in that sphere.
This score is such an under-rated masterpiece. I've seen John Williams conduct at the Hollywood Bowl 3 times and the Walt Disney Concert Hall once and this is just not performed in public much. It's so inventive. The tennis music calls for the timpanist to use TENNIS BALLS on the timpani! This overture is such a banger from the first down beat.
You are welcome. Those videos were originally uploaded with a japanese description. I decided to uploaded them with english description because it is much easier for non japanese to find them.
The Witches of Eastwick, along with Hook are (for me) the last scores Wiiliams wrote with any true passion. Everything he did after that felt like he'd lost his love for it all - yes, even Jurassic Park which felt a tad too tired to me. He had a few breaths of life afterwards: Duel of the Fates, Rey's theme but most of the new Star Wars stuff and HP felt jaded and not at all memorable. Just my opinion. But going back to this... an absolute modern classic. Beautiful.
Is this an alternate version of "Dance of the Witches" that's retitled "The Devil's Dance," or did you assign the wrong title to this (absolutely fabulous!!) piece?
What are the percussion devices/instruments used at 1:13 to 1:20? They are, to me, large metal sheets, but I have not seen -- at least in my orchestration texts -- anything referenced as "large metal sheets" [/s not intended] Is there a specific name for these?
Wow, such interesting sounds from this group! I dislike Jack Nicholson immensely so I watch that film with mixed feelings, but mostly I gloat at the revenge of those 3 women!
Not too often you see John smiling during a performance like that. and who can blame him? That was loads of fun to listen to.
I listened to it live, it is even more impressive than a recording! The sound texture that Williams created is very impressive.

1:40 Love his smile when the horns are blasting away lol.
Only TWO words exemplify the power of music in film: JOHN. WILLIAMS.
I want to be that guy making thunder and been able to listen all John´s masterpieces :)
A man that has defined and inspired me for decades - Happy 90th Birthday to Johnny.

I love John Williams!
I could dance this on Halloween
Very cool sounding! 🥳🤪🤩😎😜🤯🤗🤭🤠🤑👍
Amazing!!
Well played! So lovely lovely ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
John Williams’ scores are so perfect they seem familiar from the first listen, as though this note always follows that note, just because it SHOULD…
The sign of a master, he makes it look effortless but, believe me, it isn't. I've tried.
It would be lovely to have "the ear" to put Allll that together! What fun!!!
He is the Mozart of film music
Magnificent!!
Genius.
Incredible.. 👌👌
Thank you again!
You're welcome :)
So many movies that J.W is involved with. I had NO idea 😮
Excellent quality uploads, sir. Thank you.

John Williams' 'Danse Macabre'

Some of this was played as a background music to the 1991 Hook movie trailer.

Браво! Сам маэстро дирижирует!

What is the instrument at 0:26 (playing D F C#E)? Thank you
Muted trombones, with the support of the marimba.
Thank you!
fantastic thanks for the upload presume this was 1991 or 1993?
It was in 1993. In 1991, the musicians had black suits...
Meanwhile the low brass at 4:10..... 🥵
So we're all going to just ignore that this implies Darryl is Harry Potter's real father?
No, we're just going to ignore that you think it does.

I think they're called "thunder sheets." You can also hear them in Richard Strauss' Eine Alpensinfonie.

Ugh the urgency at 4:14 is palpable
Maleficio!
