Somewhere In My Memory, from Home Alone
The Tabernacle Choir & Orchestra at Temple Square performing "Somewhere in my Memory."
Known almost exclusively for his symphonic film scores, John Williams has become one of the most famous composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. With 51 Oscar nominations and 23 Grammy Awards to his credit, and a multitude of other prestigious accolades, Williams is an iconic musician whose music is loved around the world. In working on the soundtrack for the 1990 Christmas movie Home Alone, Williams teamed up with star lyricist Leslie Bricusse, with whom he had worked many years earlier on the soundtrack for Goodbye, Mr. Chips. The signature song from Home Alone, “Somewhere in My Memory,” earned Williams and Bricusse Grammy and Oscar nominations for “Best Song.”
