The music of John Williams has been instrumental in the successes of the films of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. It was John Williams who gave voice to the films of STAR WARS, when Lucas was still an unknown ambitious filmmaker. He also scribbled down some inspiring scores at the same time for another young and upcoming director by the name of Steven Spielberg, for whom he scored JAWS, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 1941, before John and Steven struck gold with the character of Indiana Jones. One could never imagine those films, now already far in our cinematic past, with music other than by John Williams. Other highlights include ET The Extra-Terrestrial, Superman The Movie, Schindler's List, Munich, Angela's Ashes and War Horse. And recently, when it became known that Lucas sold off his interests in future Star Wars adventures and that the next director would be J.J. Abrams, Mr. Williams did still indicate his interest to revisit those outlandish worlds from outer space. I wonder if J.J. Abrams would reconsider continuing his ongoing relationship with Michael Giacchino for who could imagine STAR WARS without the signature fanfare of John Williams?
A Salute to John Williams, a Musical Giant in his field. Thank you, Mr. Williams, for all the wonderful music.
