http://elfman.filmmusic.com/composers/composers.jpg but I guess we all know, why they seated Goldsmith and Horner so far away from each other.  Best Wishes Philipp

I have this magazine stored somewhere. This is, in fact, a composite photo. There were at least two sessions on either US coast. The text has some details on the, er, making of.

Wow!! Fabulous picture!!! But can you put the notes so we can read them? There are some composers I don't recognize. I see Johnny boy, Maestro Goldsmith, Jamie Horner, Q Man, Mad Lookin' Kamen, Marvin Hamlish, and Alan Menken, and that guy next to the number 6 looks like Cliff Eidelman(or Alan silvestri?)... who are the others?

Number 3 should be Zimmer (the resolution is not too high), to his right is Elmer Bernstein, and the next one is John Barry. I think right behind Bernstein is Lalo Schifrin.I could also decipher a couple of the labels: Goldsmith is talking to James Newton Howard, the two people right next to the "6" are Bill Conti (left) and Elliot Goldenthal (right).

OK, I'll make a stab at identifying everyone in the picture (which I love; just imagine the conversations among the groups that actually were in the same room):Starting with James Horner and going forward from left to right on the left page:
Horner, Schifrin, ??, Zimmer, Bernstein, Barry, Elfman, Williams. Right page, from back:
Menken, Shaiman, Conti, Goldenthal, Jones, Jarre, Hamlisch, Goldsmith, Newton Howard So there's only one I'm missing. Is it Chris Young? I've never seen that face before.

This was in a 1996 issue of Premiere magazine. I posted this up at my desk at work - finally, pictures of my musical heroes all together!!
I think I still have it stored somehwere at home now. The picture includes a tiny summation of what each composer was famous for and which were their notable (i.e. publicly recognizeable) scores.

So that would mean Williams, Goldsmith, Zimmer, Menken, Hamlisch, Barry, and Jarre would have a lot more than the little blurbs listed there. I bet it was hard picking, like, five films for some of these guys.

Yep, some of the older composers got shafted. Due to the huge volume of their output, only 5-6 scores could be listed so anyone unfamiliar with Bernstein or Goldsmithn really couldn't get a clue as to what their full capabilities really are. A newcomer like Zimmer fared well because in '96 he did not have as many scores to choose from.

This was actually in Vanity Fair magazine. Dude, you should know that a movie magazine such as Premiere would NEVER run a piece on the very people that make movies watchable.Shaun P.S. Well, they DID have a nice sidebar piece with Goldenthal, Burwell, and someone else (Thomas Newman?), years ago. Goldenthal picked North By Northwest as the score he wished he had written. Always thought that was cool.
