  Richard Stoltzman guest stars with the Boston Pops, conducted by John Williams. A quote in the end of the cadenza gets a nice reaction!

• John Williams: Excerpt from Omaha Beach, from Saving Private Ryan.

  This score has so many beautiful and striking moments it was difficult to choose which one to share on this Memorial Day.
  
  I decided on choosing this particularly brief excerpt because I believe Williams’ is nodding here to Friedhofer’s WWII score for “The Best Years of Our Lives” (listen here on an earlier post). Williams places this small quote, in Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, after the D-Day Invasion of Normandy as a condolence writer finds the three Ryan brothers’ death notices back on American soil. The music draws a line not only to Friedhofer, but also to Copland, the “Americana” sound, the military “Taps”, and beyond. It also deepens the translation of the scene by adding layers meaning between the two films.

  I highly recommend both films, not only out of their respect to depicting the soldiers who fought, but also the reality they faced both in and out of the battlefields.
