John Williams: A true wizard and a true Jedi

He has been on top of his game working at genius level since 1975. It’s amazing that he has defined a major part of childhood for multiple generations. 70’s(Jaws, Superman and Star Wars) 80’s (Indiana Jones and ET) 90’s (Home Alone and Jurassic Park) 00’s(Harry Potter). Is he the one thing that Gen-X, Millenials and Gen-Z agree on? 😂😂

Very beautiful! John Williams a magical composer! With love from Russia ❤

Full sound with headphones on! And empty surroundings Goosebumps

John bloody Williams in the late 90s and early 2000s was on another level

I saw the first movie with live orchestra today in Tokyo. Was my first time watching Harry potter. But i have listened to the soundtrack for years because i love John Williams. It was amazing today, really beautiful. John Williams' music makes everything just feel like magic. Can you imagine JP, Home Alone,ET etc without those amazing pieces of music ! it was so good today it was almost overwhelming and made you want to cry. Thanks John, you're my hero !

This tune is just so finely crafted it gives me chills every single time.

Supposedly he told the producers that the first theme was a waltz and they couldn't believe it! But it works, doesn't it?

The soundtrack to a film is a crucial part of the storytelling. A composer’s music can evoke emotions, tell a narrative, create a mood on its own. The musical score can literally make or break a viewing experience. Probably the most prolific film symphonist of all time, John Williams has written music for over 100 motion pictures. He is particularly known for his huge orchestral pieces tailored perfectly to the score, oftentimes watching the entire oeuvre without a soundtrack to decide what is best for it. The Juilliard-trained American pianist has created some of the most iconic pieces of music in the 🌎 world, including the theme to “Star Wars”, “Jaws” and “HARRY POTTER”. His first big feature was “Sugarland Express” in 1974. From there on, he has crafted the instrumental for the “Star Wars” series, “Jurassic Park”, “E.T.”, “Superman”, “Indiana Jones”, “Home Alone”, “Schindler’s List”, “Saving Private Ryan”, and on and on and on… Mr Williams has been nominated for 52 Oscars (only a few less than Walt Disney) and has earned 25 Grammys. Director Steven Spielberg and John Towner Williams have had an utterly successful running partnership since the 1970s, and have worked together on over 30 motion pictures. A FANTASTIC DREAM TEAM‼️ In a word or three… A REVERED MAESTRO❕ 💙🎬💛

even without the music and the movie together at once you can still feel the energy this score presents even if it's dark and musters or warm and friendly, truly a master pice!

John Williams it's a genius ❤️🍷 I admire him so much, what a talent, all his plays are remarkable and beautiful, without his music the movies couldn't have soul, you don't have to see the movie only hearing the music you know which movie is, it's amazing!!! Master John Williams you are amazing!!!
