I enjoyed the musical performances.  Aretha was the right choice, but she\'s lost a step vocally over the years. She was very good, but not the dynamic vocalist she once was.  The classical piece was spectacular.  Beautifuly and inspiring and the musicians really looked like they were enjoying themselves.

absolutely. proving once again that John Williams is the man.

I thought the classical was beautiful and inspiring, but I also thought that it was Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaroon Copeland, not John Williams.

Aaron Copeland is the man.

It\'s "Simple Gifts", and "Air", written by John Williams especially for the inauguration

They did play Fanfare for the Common Man by Copeland at one point, but I\'m pretty sure the Irony Police put a stop to it, deciding that $120 million, four-day celebrations aren\'t usually held in celebration of the "common man".

I thought I heard "Lord of the Dance" as a main theme.  This a standard tune that we used to play at my RC youth group back in the day.

I believe that we are all hearing the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" and giving different names and authors to it.

Yes, yoda, lord of the dance is based off Simple Gifts, and it was intentionally used by copeland - along with a good number of other traditional folk songs - in Applician Spring.

I still hate John Williams.

from the wiki-gods:

Quote
"Simple Gifts" is an 1848 Shaker song by Elder Joseph Brackett.

It has endured many inaccurate descriptions. Though often classified as an anonymous Shaker hymn or as a work song, it is better classified as a dance song.

How could you hate John Williams:

Themes for Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., Empire of the Sun, Schindler\'s List, Born on the 4th of July, Saving Private Ryan, Harry Potter and a slew other other great films.  

With 5 Academy Awards, 20 Grammys, 4 Golden Globes and 2 Emmys you can\'t question his talent.  I don\'t get it; what did he personally do to you?

Has he written anything not for a movie that is famous?

I am not questioning his talent, I don\'t simply don\'t consider him as a "great composer."

From what I\'ve read online, all of his work has been for Film and Television.  After Walt Disney he\'s the most nominated person in academy award history.

I see what you\'re saying about that line between composer and film score composer.

However, I think the quality of his scores earn him the great composer title.  He\'s written what might be some of the most recognizable classical music.
