Dream Comes True!!

We all got dreams. Even is just a small dream, but we definitely feel happy after we finally achieve it. One of my dream is to attend a John Williams's music live concert.



Attend MPO concert entitled A Tribute to John Williams last Friday. Get ticket last minute, rush to borrow batik and run to the box seat. As a result, 1st song "Superman" i didn't really enjoy that much. *gasp* "Jurassic Park" is just nice, totally the same with what i heard in CD. Personally, "Memoir of Geisha" touched me. The beautiful opening of flute solo lead my emotions. It is a perfect match with the movie stage photo shown. I love it very much, never heard of Geisha OST before.

For the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", very disappointing that the side track "The Conversation" is not in this song arrangement. Really like the 'Conversation' between bass and high woodwind that i heard in CD. Of course, the other hot list like "Star Wars", "Indiana Jones", "Hook", "Harry Potter" is played that night too.


"ET" brings me lots of memory. I saw the movie re-mastered in cinema few years ago. Even the movie is same age with me (Drew Barrymore still a kid that time), but the message inside movie is still powerful. 'I'll be right here', say ET. Tear in my eyes...



What most surprise me is the encore song "1941". This is also the best play by MPO that night. May be this is not John Williams's famous for other people, but i like it the most. The powerful brass section finally released and bring impact to me. Haha, i like the brassy sound.

Among all John Williams's works, my all times favorite is "Far and Away" (Star by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman). His cross over with 'The Chieflains' is the reason I like the most. The arrangement is totally different with what we used to hear in other John Williams works. Luckily I still get the chance to own this original OST, bought by cousin when she went US. Thanks.


I used to dream of attending a concert with all John William music played. (Of course, I also dream of playing together on stage). Now the dream really comes true after years of waiting. So, guys, never let go of your dream. You won't know when your dream will come true. Important is you need to be prepare all the times. Chance will just go off when you not in standby mode.
