Over the course of his 60-year career, John Williams has had opportunities to score just about every kind of film. Not surprisingly, this would include several fictionalized accounts of American presidents. For Presidents Day, enjoy selections from Williams’ music for “JFK,” “Nixon,” “Lincoln,” and “Amistad.” (“Amistad” featured Anthony Hopkins as John Quincy Adams and Nigel Hawthorne as Martin Van Buren.) The presidents take precedence, this Friday at 6 pm.
