He had used a lot of his grandmother’s stories to really get a connection with what Puerto Rico had been like. After “In the Heights” Lin was hired to help write the score for the Broadway musical “Bring it On”. While on vacation from writing, Lin decided to pick up the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, and started reading.

    John Williams: A Sought-After Composer In Hollywood

    His ability to write so many different styles of music, from Schindler's List to Indiana Jones, is a skill I which greatly inspires me, as well as his flair for conveying a particular theme; particularly in E.T, where his music depicts the childlike innocence of the film. He is a chameleon of sorts and his seemingly effortless approach to composing exquisite pieces of music for completely different genres makes him stand out amongst other notable musicians of our modern culture. He also takes a lot of inspiration from composers such as Richard Strauss and Wagner, and it is evident in the style of some of his work that he admires the grand, symphonic scores and neoromatic style of Golden Age composers Max Steiner and Erich Wolfgang…
