This is the bracket-setting episode of the Film Composer Death Bracket — they narrow the field to eight seeds and argue about who belongs. John Williams is #1 (obviously). Howard Shore earns #2 on the strength of The Lord of the Rings alone. James Horner, Elmer Bernstein, Danny Elfman, Alan Menken, Bernard Herrmann, and John Barry round out the field. A wild card debate between Barry, Herrmann, and Randy Newman. Head-to-head matchups are coming in future episodes. For now: the bracket is set, the arguments have begun, and the show has found its second wind after the Van Helsing incident.</p><p><br></p><p>SHOW NOTES</p><p>The 8-seed bracket:</p><ol><li>John Williams — Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Schindler's List, Harry Potter, E.T., Jurassic Park</li><li>2.
