He may not be an instantly recognisible name, but there’s no doubt that the work of Kenneth Wannberg has been in your ear – literally – most of your life. As the chosen music editor of John Williams from 1967 to Wannbergs retirement on 2005, he worked with the maestro on dozens of projects, from Star Wars in 1977 to their final collaboration, Steven Spielbergs Munich in 2005.
Born 28th June 1930, Wannberg started out as an assistant on South Pacific and The King And I, moving into the field of music editing where he made his name. Wannberg was also a composer himself, working on dozens of films including The Philadelphia Experiment and Blame It On Rio, but his work with Williams will be what he is best remembered for, an essential member of his team and a huge part of making iconic music that will outlast us all.
Ken Wannberg passed away on 26th January age 91, and Fantha Tracks send their condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
