The Soundtrack Show

David Collins work on the Star Trek music episodes is wonderfully done. I’ve been listening to his third episode, where he starts with Star Wars, as well as later Star Wars episodes. They also very very good. However, I have yet to hear him say anything about the source of a lot of John Williams‘s music for Star Wars. Like Eric Korngold’s “Kings Row” overture for Luke’s theme, i.e., the Star Wars fanfare. There are other sources too, of course, like Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 2 Funeral March for Darth Vader’s March.

This is an incredible podcast. Unfortunately for fans, the podcaster seems to have stopped doing it. But, certainly listen to the content he has provided thus far. It’s well worth it and, as a musician, myself, this is easily my favorite podcast. And, David, you’ve certainly left us wanting more. :)

David W. Collins, if you read these reviews, please know you have a large following of massive fans who love your show and would absolutely freak out if you made more episodes. Your level of analysis and sincerity is unmatched. Hopefully you not making new episodes means you're busy doing what you love, but selfishly I often check this podcast in hopes I’ll find new episodes. We miss you!

I appreciate the musical breakdowns and look forward to episodes but the length of time between episodes now always leaves me wondering if he simply abandoned the podcast. If not, get some guest hosts to keep the momentum going if you’re too busy and pop in now and then when work slows down. Otherwise, just bring a formal end to the podcast.
