Oh Lord, no. My family liked adult contemporary pop music and white people’s Jazz. I was the only one with an interest in classical (by-way-of film music).

I had a running group text a few years ago with a couple of family members going through John Williams scores a track at a time. I would highlight important musical moments with timestamps (thanks music school!), and provide examples of various pieces of note that probably inspired the sonic language being used in the cue. It was a fun time. A bunch of stuff happened that made it stop, but I’ve contemplated starting it up again.

I can’t seem to get the block quote to work right. Is there a trick to it?
