 Hook (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hook is a musical idea, a passage or phrase, that is believed to be catchy and helps the song stand out; it is "meant to catch the ear of the listener" (Covach 2005, p.71).
The hook of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (based on an mbube folk song) is considered to be one of the catchiest of all pop hooks.
The concept of a musical hook is itself the subject of the 1994 Blues Traveler song "Hook", in which the band ridicules itself for playing a nonsensical song reliant on a catchy hook.

 Filmtracks: Hook (John Williams)
Hook: (John Williams) Long after the muddled film became an asterisk in the career of Steven Spielberg and audiences largely forgot about it, John Williams' massive score for the live action Peter Pan adventure continues to outpace many of his other scores in album sales.
The music was also recorded in analog sound before being digitally cleaned up, and this causes some minor loss of depth in the more aggressive tracks.
Many music fans have enjoyed this score enormously as a masterpiece that they'll treasure for the rest of their lives.

 Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
Hook were subsequently offered an initial one-year deal with the major company and thus began the most successful and musically creative period of their career.
Underlining their country music influences, Dr. Hook appeared at a benefit performance at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and followed it with more recording sessions in the country music capital.
Dr. Hook were one of the great fun pop-country rock bands of the Seventies and early Eighties, and their musical demise was mourned by thousands of fans around the world.

 Hook - Music from the Movies
First the heroic theme from Hook for Peter Pan, heard in the opening ‘Prologue (Hook)’, which later returns in ‘Remembering Childhood’ when Peter remembers who he is and Peter Pan returns.
‘Hook Napped’ is a very dark and sinister track and introduces one of the themes of the villainous Captain Hook.
Two other tracks, which highlight the other theme for Captain Hook are ‘Presenting the Hook’ and the quirky ‘Smee’s Plan’, reminiscent of Williams’ themes for the bumbling villains in Home Alone and Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade.

 Hook Soundtrack Reviews @ Movie Music . com
Hook is a Steven Spielberg movie, which is great and all, but it would be nothing without a John Williams score.
His music is totally immersed and has plenty of depth in emotion, in characters, and in the scenes.
The Hook theme is dominant in the movie, but is only majorly heard on CD one time.

It is perfect music to listen to while reading or working, and sometimes can be inspirational.
Steven Spieberg's Hook may not have set box office records like his other flights of fancy, E.T. or Close Encounters, but the film did have another winning score by longtime collaborator John Williams.

 The HooK: MUSIC REVIEW- Musical bashing: Bands rock to sock Bush
Though intersections of politics and music have always left a bad taste in my mouth, a free, multi-band show is an opportunity I can't pass up, and so last Saturday afternoon found me making my way to the Old Michie Building courtyard for the "International Day of Action" entitled Bands Against Bush.
The first tune I heard in its entirety had the sonically pleasing hook of switching between 4/4 picked guitar verses to disco-triplet choruses and back again, and when the drummer finally let loose at the song's completion, and Hoffman's vocals equally cast off their shackles, everything seemed to come together.
The posted schedule announced that the next half-hour would be an open mic, and as three of the group's four members were already present, the well-titled ASAPossible took the stage-- after borrowing instruments from the next group.

 The HooK: MUSIC REVIEW- Hideaways: New bands in strange places
In Charlottesville, most venues have a set list of bands that they rotate through their weekly schedules-- it's hard for new, untested acts to get a handhold in the club scene here.
One way of seeing new bands is to attend parties where musical acts are scheduled to perform.
Free suds, the chance to meet a mate, and the possibility of seeing a newly formed musical movement (though the latter is more unlikely than possibility #2) are but a few of the reasons younger music aficionado should adopt "

 The HooK: MUSIC REVIEW- Unexpected: Love that minimalism!
Though the promo touted a double dose of folk/rock, the three gentlemen seated before me on stage last Friday night-- accessorized with clarinet, accordion, and drum-set-- suggested this eclecticism would be running rampant.
An Altoids box on the upper part of the accordion produced tones ranging from metallic to feedback squeals, and soon enough the clarinetist was back on his reed, making guttural sounds with the instrument.
Sometimes verging into music that seemed appropriate for the days of silent thrillers before plunging the groove they had made into the sea of noise, Flutter held my attention long after the reviewing had finished-- a feat seldom repeated but always greatly appreciated.

I rate Hook in John Williams' top five scores among Jurassic Park and Star Wars.
There is always a battle going on between Pan and Hook, and John Williams amplifies the action with tracks like "The Ultimate War." "Granny Wendy" is a beautiful, soft theme to convey the gentleness of Wendy.
The end of the track, though, is the best musical moment in the entire score.
