@@mysticmouse7261 even so, thats not why the music is great imo. the music is great because it tells a story. john understands this. that is why every classical composer we consider to be great is great. their pieces tell stories, and one needed look no further than dvorak the planets, or the 1812 overture, or even flight of the Valkyries.
It staggers my imagination to consider the immeasurable joy John Williams has brought to me over the last 40 years. His brilliant film scores have enhanced many of the favorite films in my life. His contribution is simply massive. He has enriched every film he scored and took those movies to another level. Thank you Maestro for your creative genius!
And, I would submit, joy and pain and this is why he is so great. Schindler's List, as a piece of music. Saving Private Ryan, as a piece of music. These are full of pain. Movie soundtracks are the symphonies of our era and he's written some of the best.
I was blessed with a 60 year busy career as a studio singer and worked with John Williams on several occasions. While working on Close Encounters, I mentioned how much I loved Star Wars to him, and he said it was a lot of work! I can only imagine. Bravo to all your work, John, and thank for the truly fine person you are!
To say I love this man is truly an understatement. His understanding and use of orchestral instrumentation must have come straight from heaven. And somehow, he manages to thrill us time and time again. I honor and thank God for you Mr. Williams, SIR!
With all his accolades achievements and awards, John Williams has remain humble and grounded, no arrogant ego like many conductors. His brilliant legacy is embedded in many cultures.
My pick for "Star Wars" is actually for my neighbor on the 2nd Floor of my building, who I hope someday plays for Disney at USC or Sony Music. We don't talk, not even in passing, but our actions and facial expressions say more than words.... This is for you, Colin!
I once went to a Williams tribute concert in Tivoli Copenhagen and the conductor said something like "just to put the man's talent and productivity in perspective, he had received just as many Oscar nominations as The Disney Cooperation"...
not even close. As of 2024, Disney has won a total of 150 Academy Awards, but the impressive number is that of these, 32 were won by Walt Disney personally. JW was nominated for more than 50 Academy Awards and won 5
I’ve been lucky enough to see John Williams with the BSO, and grew up going to the Pops, but I’ve never gotten to Film Night, and it’s my absolute dream.
@@kellycoleman715 Williams himself would say Copland. He was very clearly influenced by Copland and has conducted and recorded Copland's music. But ......honestly....Copland (alive until 1990) probably envied John's royalties!
I remember going to see John Williams and the Boston Pops at Tanglewood when I was about 15 in 2004. My mom drove me all the way up there to see his concert for my birthday. I'll never forget it. Such a gorgeous venue and an incredible performance.
What a beautiful soul and a class act! His music makes me cry. What a beautiful melody! Touches your child-like heart! If you don’t feel nothing when hearing his music, then you’re made of stone! Gorgeous orchestra!
I just got my tickets in mail to see the Maestro, John Williams for his 90th Bday Celebration at Tanglewood this year! I can't wait to see him in person finally!
Mr Williams represents the best in his craft. He illuminates the films so that you always remember. A legend and proudly, an American treasure who brings endless joy. I can’t find a favorite composition! I love them all. Thank you for sharing this. Never tire of his pieces and to watch them played-yikes.
I was there last summer, at Tanglewood for Film Night. It was announced that John Williams would be there to introduce the program. When he was invited up to the stage after intermission to conduct most of the pieces in the second half of the concert, it was so incredible. The very appreciative Tanglewood audience was on its feet, taking photos and videos and cheering for Maestro John Williams. What a fantastic concert. What an amazing performance by John Williams. A Tanglewood memory that I will always remember.
I believe it is correct to say that film composers have become the Classical Music composers of the last 50 to 75 years, and John Williams is among the very best. Think about it. The great Classical composers of the past would marvel at todays film scores and likely want to try scoring many films themselves.
100% yes. The operas, commissioned symphonies, & selections composed for a royal court are what the film, stage musical, television, & even video game scores represent in present day vernacular. Its functions are nearly identical, but to the "elite musical connesuer", the "mass media" composer is looked down upon as a lesser artistic endeavor - which is a mistake & history will prove the fallacy of that arrogance/ignorance. One wonders what music lovers will think of contemporary artists like Williams some 2, 3, or 4 hundred years from now. I suspect they will elevate him among the greats of the latter half of the 20th century into the first decades of the 21st. He has left an indelible mark, no doubt about that! What amazes me the most is how he still has so much energy & continuing integrity as a composer going into his 90s! This man is a legend among us.
Listen to that slower tempo! He really is digging in now and is looking for further clarity of notes and rhythms, clean balance, and is now focusing on different and unique voicings that were lost in earlier recordings. Truly it is like witnessing an older Franz List age like the finest of wine. I feel like he has yet to make his own Beethoven's Late String Quartets or Listz's "Sonata in B minor", with their forward looking harmonies and styles and simple but lazer focused melodies. Boston and the BSO and Boston Pops are what truly move and/or inspire him to compose some of the best film music ever made. Also, I agree with Maestro William's comments about the BSO and Boston Pops. Such excellent musicians that have been performing at peak levels for decades. My personal favorite concerts and recordings are from John Williams and the Boston Pop and Symph. Always a very warm and well shaped tone, and excellent communication between conductor and orchestra that is readily conveyed to the audience that creates a sublime listening experience. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Well on january 18th 2020 he get's to conduct, as some would argue the best orchestra in the world in one of the greatest concert halls in the world. The vienna Philharmonics in the golden concert hall of the Musikverein in vienna - the world capitol of music.
Got cassette player and 2 tapes for Xmas when I was a kid and 2 cassettes. Didn't even ask for it so didn't choose the music, my mom got me Anne Murray and Star wars soundtrack, didn't take long to wear it out. Was late 70's or early 80, don't remember but have loved John Williams since then and music in general. Really love Conan the barbarian soundtrack also, you should check it out if not familiar.
Yoda theme is absolutely magic. I think that scene in Empire Strikes Back, when Yoda uses the force to get Luke's x-wing out of the swamp to this track, is one of the most magic moment in movie history.
John Williams is the greatest American composer and conductor, including Bernstein. I love the way he speaks, his totally American sound. He represents the best our culture has to offer, in the midst of a culture that is otherwise in decline.
When you first hear star wars, super man, etc etc you don't think about this side of the film. But when you see and hear it, you then begin to realise how much music is the films life blood and not just a theme tune
I agree that the camera guy seemed to be captivated by Sarah but then again so was I. The whole orchestra was wonderful being led by Mr. John Williams! Bravo!!
We were fortunate enough to treat our son to Star Wars on Tour concert as a graduation present. Awesome night. Wish it could be done again or at least stream it. We will always remember it. Thank you for your fantastic music Mr. Williams.
I listened to Yoda’s Theme over and over when I was staying in Hawaii years ago and hearing it now is overwhelmingly nostalgic. So beautiful. Thank you, John
Mention should be made of the many concerts where John Williams has donated his services to support orchestras large, medium, and small. The very act of writing music for full orchestra for films when so many have gone to using three people on electronic synths has employed so many musicians and enriched our musical repertoire. Thank you, John Williams, for all you’ve done!
I saw John Williams conduct the BSO at Tanglewood close to 20 times and I have his music tattooed on my arm. I can’t imagine what my life would have been like without him.
As someone whose musical ability is limited to "place disc in tray and press play", I cannot imagine the immense amount of knowledge, talent and genius it takes to compose such beautiful art.
his music is so well known, that you only have to hear it to know who wrote it... we are so incredibly blessed to have this once in a lifetime composer to give us such joy, a joy that will last generations upon generations... his music is immortal, and will last as long as there are stars to look at...
This music is so grand. Mr. Williams is SO right. He knows the importance of GOOD music. I salute him and the years he lead the Boston Pops. SYLVIA! 8/20/2020
For over fifty years I have followed, purchased, and attended in concert the work of John Williams, the greatest film composer of all time - far ahead of any composer of original scores: Hermann, Korngold, Jarre, Steiner, Goldsmith, Bernstein (Elmer), Rozsa, Barry and even the great Alfred Newman. Williams has bested all of them. Thanks John, for nearly 70 years of original scores. You will live forever in cinema history as the greatest film composer of all (GOAT).
No he hasn't. He is superb of course, but in no way has he 'bested' as you called it, Goldsmith or Herrmann. He plays Herrmann at concerts all the time plus, it was revealed there is a lot of plagiarism within the Star Wars themes where Williams has taken and slightly modified lesser known classical pieces, which are now more recognised as Star Wars cues!! I thought his work was all original but it isn't. This is the main reason he isn't the top.
John Williams is my music god. Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Guns and Roses, Oasis, Stereophonics.... all the best, but this guy knew how to touch our hearts.
There was a Gambino who was principal violinist (concertmaster) in the Midland/Odessa (Texas) Symphony and Chorale decades ago and he occasionally conducted the orchestra. Are you related to him by any chance? I think his name was James Gambino.
Williams is a genius. I love his tribute, in the Imperial March, to one of my favorites, Gustav Holst's "Mars, The Bringer of Wars" from "The Planets". Listen starting about the 3:25 mark, and then it goes into the same 5/4 time. All very cool.
Not 5/4, it is still in 3/4. This continual reference back to Mars from The Planets is well passed its sell by date. We should all just enjoy the music and the man for as long as we have him.
John Williams the great movie score genius,that word is given out sometimes when not necessary but in Johns case it should be double genius because he has given so much joy not just to me but ten of millions of people but doing something non aggressive that has bought the world together and that is his legacy,long my it continue.

John Williams will one day be listed alongside Bach, Mozart, And Tchaikovsky, as one of the greatest, most influential composers who ever lived
He's a great film composer but the composers of the classical past wrote music for its own sake. BTW he borrowed extensively from previous composers.
