I often say that classical music is alive and well, it's just decamped from the symphony hall to the movie theater. Today's composition from the soundtrack to the 1990 film Home Alone was nominated not only for The Best Original Song Oscar, but also for a Grammy. John Williams needs no introduction - for those of you who have never heard his music, go watch Star Wars for cryin' out loud.
The Queen Of The World not only suggested doing film scores for the Sunday Classical posts, but suggested this song in particular. She's not just a pretty face, but wicket smart as well.

Delightful. John Williams doesn't get the credit he deserves, despite a bunch of Oscars.
He really is a contemporary embodiment of the great composers.
I share the name so my nephew was thrilled to see his "Uncle" did the score for the first Star Wars movie. He was about 5 at the time.
