A Composer's Journey - Learn the Art of Composing

How John Williams Writes for Percussion (Not What You'd Expect)


Listen Later

This episode explores Williams' writing for non-tuned percussion, particularly in his cue "The Quidditch Match" from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. We look at how John Williams uses percussion in ways you might not expect, and which adds a lot more dynamism and interest to his more bombastic cues.
