The suite to Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind (there are a few, I'm talking about the pure Williams one without the disney interlude) is as deserving wide play as The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Encompassing the spectrum from non-tonal non-12-tone non-chromatic ligeti-like start and ending with the pure intervals of solfege tonality instruction is an impressive musical history & theory commentary.And it's damn good sounding.
My opinion: Williams is at least as good a composer as Saint-Saens, who is programmed regularly, and much more versatile.
