The African & African American influence on Williams (and other American film composers) is an extremely rich, deep subject for conversation & we look forward to discussing it much further throughout the podcast.

Minor quibble about Dvorak Sym 9 - while it's true and perhaps obvious that the Slavic quality is present in that big melody, it's a bit of an omission to not mention Dvorak's interest in the folk music of African Americans and Indigenous Americans as e.g. "the future music of this country." Seems a meaningful point given a discussion of influences (culturally correct or not in Dvorak's approach) and of John Williams "the American composer." I hear so much African American influence in Williams' rhythmic structures - he is certainly funkier than the strictly European or European American composers he pays homage to, and not just in Cantina Band.El Mahboobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420214398411237438noreply@blogger.com
