| | Filmtracks: Home Alone (John Williams) |
 | | Home Alone: (John Williams) It had been a while since John Williams had composed a score specifically aimed at children --if ever, really-- and when he accepted the assignment of Home Alone from his friend, director Chris Columbus, in 1990, it was an entirely new genre for the maestro. |
 | | Ever since Home Alone first won the hearts of audiences with an outstanding record-producing showing at the box office, Williams' score has been the highest standard for Christmas music from Hollywood. |
 | | Home Alone is an example of a film and score fitting like a perfect glove for a hand, with Williams' music successfully balancing the two sides of the film: the wacky, stupid comedy, and the heartfelt sense of family and religion at the holidays. |
