It's so hard to listen to this without tearing up. Leia's theme was so calming, and her presence on screen had the same exact effect. We miss you Carrie, we love you. Rest in peace.
I think what makes this theme so good is how feminine and innocent it sounds. It captures Leila’s beauty inside and out. I’m not sure how Williams does the magic he does when he expresses the essence of a character so perfectly. Maybe the force?
"Princess Leia Organa, You are wise, discerning, kind hearted. These are the Qualities that came from your Mother. You are passionate, fearless. Forthright. These are gifts from your Father. Both were exceptional people, who bore an exceptional daughter"
@@orlandoavogadro The music outside of John Williams original themes were pretty meh. And yeah overall the show had some issues, but atleast had some really good scenes at times.
when i was six years old i used to hear this tune again and again on cassette and imagine myself as a character in star wars flying in the falcon at light speed , i used to make guns from paper and keep them in my pocket those were my laser blasters. it was all real for me. my dad used to point to the sky and say you are from that star and then he used to tell me a story of space travel deep into the stars with characters from star wars. now im 48 and still look at those stars and those star wars are still in my mind.
wooowww... I lke so much your story... i love the imagination that we have when we are child, so real too... gracias por compartir tu beatifull story ... saludos from Chile
At 8 years old, Princess Leia was my "first love". She was absolutely beautiful and at 55 today, I still get a little misty-eyed when I hear this. RIP Carrie Fisher.
this princess leia theme created by john williams simply amazing. it's starts off slow and slowly build up strength as it goes along, which is totally in line with the character. thank you john williams for a great score for a great character. RIP carrie fisher, you'll always be our princess leia!
Thank God for those wonderful French horns and the amazing talent. The musicians who are chosen to do the solo pieces must have never been known to miss a single note. "Messing up" isn't even in their vocabulary they're so good.
I was six years old when I watched my first Star Wars movie, wich was A new Hope. And I kinda fell in love with princess Leia. I knew I could never actually be with her, but since then, I always had a special connection with this theme. It was also the song I heard during my first kiss. The soundtrack of Star Wars will still be amazing, even when I grow older. I‘m only turning 21 this year, but I know that these films and this amazing soundtrack will always have a place in my heart
Princess Leia's Theme is transcendent of genre, to stand as peer amongst the finest of classical music. This grand performance is the closest to John Williams's conducting that I have heard. A rousing standing ovation to all!
I've been listening to this piece since 25 May, 1977, I went out and purchased the album as soon as I was able, at the tender age of 13, the first album I had ever purchased. I hadn't listened in years, but... that final note still brings a tear to my eye. What a masterpiece.
I always feel like the music is telling a story of Leia's life from innocence to being thrust into power, struggling, failing but then ultimately triumphing.
There is no part of this song that doesn’t give you immediate feels to a bygone era long ago. Man what happened to the world?? A masterpiece without a doubt. RIP Carrie.
For me this is the high point of John Williams' original Star Wars suite. The main theme is well defined yet peppered with the most beautiful breakdowns and flourishes, it ebbs and flows magically, and when it rises to its climactic height it swells and swirls with such beauty and emotion that never fails to move me to tears. It is a masterpiece.
This piece is truly magical. It fits so well that is the character Princess Leia. It’s also perfect for the personality of Carrie Fisher. RIP Princess.
John Williams' work on these movie scores stands second to none against any symphonic or operatic work ever composed. They are stunningly haunting and beautiful.
I have loved this piece since 1977, when someone gave me a Star Wars cassette. It was not until I started listening to it digitally that I realized the flute passes the intro to an oboe. Digital is GREAT!
"Okay John. Now pull together all the deepest feelings of adoration, awe and longing for the love of your life, then boil those emotions down into a singular theme that will stand forever as the definitive musical portrayal of idealised pure feminine beauty and the power it has over those that gaze upon it. Have the orchestra almost tear itself apart during the cresendo, as if it's a tiny speck of dust trying to stare into the centre of the sun, or a master craftsman hopelessly attempting to weave the Platonic form of beauty itself out of tears and spiderwebs. You've got one day - good luck." - George Lucas, March 1977
Mi padre era fanatico de Star Wars , yo aprendi de el con esta saga tan hermosa, siempre me mostraba este canción, siempre, era muy repetitivo con esta cancion, me decia q era una cancion hermosa, ahora el esta descansando en paz, y con esta cancion siempre se me vienen millones de recuerdos de el a la mente con esta canción 😢
I love Carrie Fisher as Princess and General Leia I keep thinking about her too much I talk to her in my dream and light up my candles I talk to Carrie if she is by me by my Carrie Fisher collection

Me to. But dont cry as much. Shes in heaven and a force ghost so she is not gone. " no one is ever really gone " luke Skywalker " celebrate those who transend into the force. " yoda.
Thumbs up for the flautist whose vibrato isn't rapidfire like being strapped to a paintmixer. Sounds SO much better when it's controlled like this. Plus, her hair's pretty delicious.
Agree. It was sweet, gentle and appropriate for the music. Musicians...never forget that. Music is a language, ultimately, not a show of technical skill.
THE ONLY THEME THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ATTACHED TO ME SINCE SEEING THE CLASSIC TRILOGY...... MAY THE FORCE ALWAYS BE WITH YOU YOUR HIGHNESS.... IT'S A LONG ROAD BUT WE'LL MEET AGAIN. #YourHighnessRestWell
I was glad to hear this theme boldly used for the first trailer of Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. It's one of John Williams best themes, haunting, fragile, majestic, thoughtful, powerful. Everything Princess Leia come to embody in the Star Wars canon.
Devian not just 70s and 80s but all of Star wars fans like me I'm just 10 but I'm addicted to Star wars . And I felt very sad because of Leia's death #feeling a disturbance in the force 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😕😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The magic of Star Wars is at least 50% the music.
With you I agree!
I agree but in that case star wars magic should be 150%
Honestly I’d say the music does like 75% of the work
Yes ! Yes ! Yes !
Movies John Williams compose for have a 90% chance of being one of my favourite movies and I wouldn't even care for the visuals

Absolutely. It’s yet another example of Maestro William’s singular gift. His musical will be studied 200 yrs from now as classical music
Reqiuem, Reqiuem
O' flower that lost it's petals at this night; I ask, rest in peace. When dawn breaks.
F for Carrie Fisher
Her Royal Highness.
"Princess Leia Organa, You are wise, discerning, kind hearted. These are the Qualities that came from your Mother. You are passionate, fearless. Forthright. These are gifts from your Father. Both were exceptional people, who bore an exceptional daughter"
This music was the reason why I learned to play the French horn. ❤ John Williams...a genius composer of the 20th century.
when he said this line and the theme started playing, I was tearing up. the show really wasn't anything special, but the music was.

Five years on, and I still mourn for her. No celebrity death has ever affected me in any real way, except for hers.
Felt that way for Robin Williams

RIP our dear princess 🕊️
I love how her theme is tied in to her character as well as the Rebellion. Starting small but then growing to a large scale.
Couldn't imagine Star Wars without it's music. Good on John Williams for making such a timeless piece.
I can’t listen to this without tearing up rest in peace carrie we miss so dearly our beautiful and badass Princess

Ah me too. It’s also my ringtone 😂
Still one of the greatest melodies John Williams has ever composed, and this performance...I don't even know where to start.❤
Three seconds in and I have a tear in my eye! :'(
I always feel like the music is telling a story of Leia's life from innocence to being thrust into power, struggling, failing but then ultimately triumphing.
That is great writing. Great music opens the imagination ❤
The huge drop to me shows her strength as a general but the flute in the background shows here feminine essence.
There is no part of this song that doesn’t give you immediate feels to a bygone era long ago.
Man what happened to the world?? A masterpiece without a doubt. RIP Carrie.
1:14 this part always gets me...even now...it kinda flashes all the sad depressing moments from Star Wars in front of my eyes...
2:18 imagine looking to the eyes of the person that will become the love of your life and this starts playing
I imagined the same thing, like a wonderful "cosmic and perfect love", in the eyes of THE PERSON, THE RIGHT ONE! But I think I am just a dreamer...
@ThaiBubbleTea - YES! I feel this is the most romantic music ever written. Gives me chills every time. Thank you, John Willliams...
RIP Carrie Fisher
She is one with the force now

This song is SW for me. Truely a great piece of musical work
John Williams' work on these movie scores stands second to none against any symphonic or operatic work ever composed. They are stunningly haunting and beautiful.
This will always be my favorite piece of music that came out of Star Wars
My God we’re blessed to be able to understand and listen to this masterpiece.
0:18 that French horn hits hard.
the most beautiful part ist the violin at the end (4:00).
I'm not crying. I just finished chopping onions. I always chop onions when I hear this.
Wow. The sheer emotional power of this piece! John Williams is the GREATEST. fact.
Thank you for bringing the character Leia into life Carrie. May you R.I.P. And may the force be with you
Leia's theme always makes me cry.
Hermoso. Gracias, John Williams por esta música. ♥️♥️♥️
This is such a brilliant and faithful performance of the piece.
This theme is simply brilliant
The power of this music still brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I hear it.
Wow that ending was so perfect made me cry - sounded like Itzhak Perlman - well done lady violinist
That flautist needs to sort herself out - she missed important notes/rhythms and feel/timing
Such a beautiful performance for such a beautiful piece of music.
in my opinion the most beautiful passage of the entire SW suite.
I have loved this piece since 1977, when someone gave me a Star Wars cassette. It was not until I started listening to it digitally that I realized the flute passes the intro to an oboe. Digital is GREAT!

best love theme ever
My God, my body is shaking! Genius
Star wars IX leia'a death with this theme makes my cry because it ends a entire era. No Luke, no Hans, no Leia. This is so sad.
Keith Lockhart's direction style is so nice to watch.
My favorite music, it's really calming
1:55 onwards, this part always felt otherworldly to me. Sometimes I just shed a tear I don't understand why.
November 2020. Magnificent. Found you all. Thank You!
Just an incredible piece of music
I cant believe its been 4 years. Time passes by so cruely.
I absolutely love Star Wars music! Brilliant watching it live.
Beautiful.
Surely no one writes more magnificently than Maestro Williams. What a gift his brilliant talent is to this planet. Live long and prosper, sir! 🖖
The music could be said to be another, essential character in the story

Speaking as a horn player myself, I totally agree! 😁
Those French Horns are what connect Luke, Leia and Ben, emotionally and musically.
She is with Force and the Force is with Her.

Especially not nowadays
From now on if you have a cough in a classical concert you will be dragged out and placed into a quarantine hotel for 14 days.
Such beautiful music. John Williams is by far the best movie music composer.

A lovely theme for a lovely Princess. May she rest in peace.
Goodbye, Carrie. :(
