      Actually, "classical music" describes European music from a period that began shortly before and ended shortly after the French Revolution (late 18th century).
      I believe, you are referring to "classic" music, meaning music that stays alive for decades or centuries and defines genres for what comes after it.

    • @renoutlaw8371
      @renoutlaw8371 7 років тому +8

    • @laertesdd
      @laertesdd 7 років тому +14

      Ah, okay, albeit I would say that Williams' music is neo-romantic in style, structure, orchestration and atmosphere and thus stems heavily from the symphonic traditions of the late 19th and early 20th century.

    I went that whole tribute only shedding a couple sad tears and a lump in my throat. It wasnt until John Williams showed up and I heard Leia's them playing that I couldn't take it and just broke down into an emotional wreck. Im an average nobody 22 year old man who grew up on Star Wars since I was barely in Pre-School and Im deeply mourning a celebrity as if she was a close family member. Thats the effect Carrie had on people. No matter where you are in the world she has a habit of making any fan feel like someon special. As if every interview or panel she took part in felt like she was talking beyond the screen and directly to you. There will never be a character that compares to Princess Leia and there will never be another Carrie Fisher...

      True. Look him up on Wikipedia. In terms of academy awards for movie music (any sub-category), he is second only to "the Mouse" - and they had not one but SIX major composer teams, going back to the Sherman brothers and including Ashman and Menken - plus Sir Elton. Plus TV music awards and a few other honors. Think about this: The Star Wars franchise started in the late 1970s and that theme is still going strong. Oh, another one of his long-running contributions? Hedwig's Theme from the Harry Potter series!
      Living legend is true but somehow words do not do justice.

    Within the first few notes of "Princess Leia's Theme," realizing this was a tribute to Carrie Fisher, it was instant waterworks. RIP, Carrie Fisher. We'll miss you. :'-( Also, I think if I had to choose just one film score great to look up to, it'd be John Williams, for sure.

    When I matriculated at Juilliard, and was asked who my favorite composer was and I said John Williams. The teacher said John Williams, isn't a classical music composer. He's a film composer, I felt like unenrolling at Juilliard.

    I love that the two biggest cheers of the whole thing were for Carrie Fisher's memorial and John Williams himself. If you want to know the impact that this man has had on so many generations of people with his music, just look at how respectful this crowd is when he asks them to be quiet and how little noise there is during the performances.

    I'm not a fan of Star Wars, but I am of John Williams; I was genuinely astonished to how only person silenced a room in 2 seconds, and at their own waiting will, so that they could hear his music.
