Song of the Day: Hook (“Soundtrack Suite”) [YouTube link], composed by John Williams, is one of the maestro’s lesser-known scores. But this suite captures some of the exquisite orchestral themes from this 1991 Steven Spielberg-directed film, starring Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. Today, the legendary Williams turns 94, and he remains one of the greatest composers of our time.
