John Williams's ADVENTURES OF TINTIN and WAR HORSE scores premier

Unfortunately not in great quality here, but I'm loving the modal sound of WAR HORSE. Classic Williams alright. Great to have an erudite commentator talk about them too.

For more and better quality TINTIN tracks (though with much less interesting commentary):

It's somewhat comforting that in a year when you've got Giachinno, Desplat, and Silvestri all doing pretty clear, obvious, and deliberate Williams emulations, there will be two actual Williams scores floating about.

It makes that branch of the Academy's job easier anyway. Back to the "Default to Williams" clause.
