Ran across this CD on Amazon.com. It's the soundtrack to Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire. Don't recognize it? Or perhaps you do? Yes, this is a soundtrack to a novel, not to a movie or live performance of the novel or something similar. And no, it's not music written by John Williams or music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, as you might have expected. It's the Royal Scottish national Orchestra, and the music is written by Joel McNeely.
There are four 30-second snippets from the CD on the Amazon.com site, and one of the four is the John Williams main Star Wars theme, probably not the best choice they could have made if you were expecting to hear the newly-written stuff. And the sound bites you do get to listen to in the other three choices makes you realize that John Williams really does know his stuff (in comparison, at least).
