Another one of my heroes: John Williams. This clip was uploaded by karthiktn and explained in her/his notes:
John Williams did the theme music for NBC Nightly News Beat many many years back. Recently in 2006 he recorded it afresh with a 90 piece orchestra at the Sony Studios, Culver City, CA.

Although at times Williams’ music reminds me of the Schickele remarks about P.D.Q. Bach—that although accusations of plagiarism were probably not warranted, it was true that he did compose exclusively on tracing paper—I must say that he’s done some good tunes and is a fine craftsman. How nice as well that someone can command such orchestral forces in this day and age.
