John Williams is the man.
I don't think John Williams realizes how much of a gift and a blessing he is to the world rather he's scoring a film or any of his concert music! Thanks for this!
I tell my piano students that in the future, people will say Mozart, Beethoven and Williams.
I loved hearing him say "there's a spirit there"
Spirit is a word used for all kinds of places. Let me guess. You like it because you're brain washed to think mormons are the real spirit?
Large choral and orchestral compositions really create a feeling of magic, don’t they? I’ve been part of a few 70 person choirs singing pieces like Eric Whitacre’s Lux Arumque and Ola Gjeilo’s Northern Lights in large cathedrals and the feelings are overwhelming!
Music really is a universally understood and emotionally powerful language
Thank you for your kind words, Sir.
John Williams was one of the last men to receive an honorary knighthood from the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Every now and then God drops us an angel. John Williams is one of them. His music is such a gift to humanity
A great combination of one of the best movie composers of all time with (as President Reagan called it) America’s Choir
Well, sorry, but Reagan is/was wrong, lol! Shaw/ASO Chorus, Hillis/CSO Chorus & Flummerfelt/NYCA & Westminster Symphonic Choir are better just for starters (& that’s not even including choirs from Nashville, Texas &/or Florida
If it wasn’t the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square (or as it was once known as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir) would you have commented the way you have? Have you personally been in the building to hear them sing? I have and it’s amazing. You may not like the Church doesn’t mean the Choir isn’t as good as people say.
What a sweet comment from President Reagan!
What a wonderful interview!
This is gold. Thanks for uploading.
Your most welcome 😊
What an honor for them to be led by this amazing genius.
John Williams isbthe composer of all composers. Hearing him say this makes my heart sing. You shoukd read what he said about Abravanel Hall and Utah Symphony as well. He loves Utah and our symphonies (both the church and state), and music hall. The man who has done this for years and compliments and praises like this, you know he knows.
Yeah i saw the letter he recently sent to the government of utah to not tear down Abravanel Hall! he should move here!
As Latter-day Disciples of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we believe the words He said that _"the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads."_ (Doctrine and Covenants 25: 12)
Even if there are those who don't sing well, if they sing with faith and having a belief in God, God will love and accept it.
Thank you for your last comment. I am definitely unable to carry a tune in a bucket, bathtub, or even swimming pool. But I wish so much I could! I sing from my heart and I hope it reaches Heaven’s ears with the love in my heart.
MARVELOUS!!!

One of the best new classical composer of all time ,whe leave now filmcomposer
He’s so right. Craig Jessop was the best Tab Choir conductor EVER!!
I love ❤️ them all, and what they bring!!
What is the context for this video? Did John Williams use the Tabernacle Choir to record the new Olympic them song?
@@byucatch22 yes. He released an album called American journey and he recorded the tabernacle choir singing it. And as part of the Olympics, the choir had a cultural olympiad concert where John was invited to conduct them in it. Which is what this particular video is about. The video John conducting the choir is linked in the description
This was for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
