John Williams!
I’m a simple man: I see John Williams in the title, I upvote.
Prankster at the end coughing, there is no room in my empire for rebels.
That made my heart soar in a way I wasn’t expecting.
What are the white lines running across the film?
Could anyone who is either involved in the music industry or knows enough about it comment on how exactly all of these musicians come together to perform in the score for John Williams? Does he interview them? Is it like sports where he makes them try-out? How much time out of their week/month/year would these people have to take to come out to do this? Like if John Williams calls you up, do you just drop everything to go play music for him?
Sorry if these are dumb questions, I never played music growing up, know nothing about it, but am becoming more and more fascinated by the making of scores for films.
My god that song is brilliant. The brass section is wonderful.
goosebumps, every good damn time
Decent song, very overrated movie franchise.
Watching such a crazy talented man do his art form as well as his major iconic piece is pretty damn cool!
I took my 4yr old to see his first star wars film in the theater when TLJ came out last month. I looked over as soon as the score started and saw the biggest grin I have ever seen on his face. I started to tear up less than 10 seconds in to the new star wars movie. So many good feelings with this score.
@ skywalker
I truly believe that this is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time.
Does he re-record the intro for every new movie?
Wow, I haven’t even seen most of the star wars films, but this score is so iconic it still gives me goosebumps. Really speaks volumes of the composer.
I always love that run by the violins right after the scroll and before the action starts. It’s great.
question for an expert or connoisseur:
How do composers like Williams or Bernard Herrmann stack up against the greats. Bach, Beethoven, etc?
Are any of these film scores in the same realm as Beethoven’s symphonies for example?
How will history remember John Williams?
Not quite my tempo
I wonder if the musicians get a little chill in their spine and a giddy feeling after that first few notes like I know everyone listening does.
his hands are graceful
As a musician…just WOW

Does this mean that there’s a new recording of the Star Wars theme for each film?
50 seconds in….NOT MY TEMPO.
cymbal dude was a little off. I have the eyes of an elf and earrrs of an orc.
If humanity survives several more centuries, I believe epic movie scores such as this will last and resonate as much as the symphony music of legendary classical composers. Back then, seeing the opera or the symphony was sort of like seeing Star Wars in theatre, however many many many more people have seen Star Wars and have the same frisson response.
