John Williams has gone from film score composer to American Icon and Hero!! So gifted and even being over 90 years of age, still working and doing what he loves and does best - Thank You Mr. John Williams for what you have given the world.

I was 12 years old in 1977 when Star Wars premiered. To this day I will never forget the impact it had on me. My father God rest his soul who was born in 1933 was old school and very critical of movies. He was with me that day and after seeing this movie he was literally speechless!! I will cherish that memory as long as I live. Thank you George Lucas for this absolute incredible saga you have made!!

@@thepetehill I am glad that my childhood was the late sixties into the seventies and teenager through the eighties. What a time that era was!! Miss it though I will cherish the memories til I die!!

John Williams has always had the insight to move your soul on every score he has composed. Ever since I saw Star Wars for the first time and heard his score I have been a John Williams fan ever since. This score still gives me goosebumps. Thank you John Williams for all the years you have scored movies for the world.

Esto sera recordado y escuchado por cientos de generaciones y un dia se escuchara en otro planeta Hasta ese dia

God gifted you young man! 🙏

Awesome 👏

He's an international Treasure! Bravo bravisimo!

I fell in love with Williams' music starting with the 'Jaws' theme, then Star Wars, then Superman, then Indiana Jones, then ET, then Jurassic Park... the list would grow long !

This is my favorite song EVER from Star Wars!!!!!

It's going to be a tragedy when John Williams passes away. His music has become a part of the dearest memories of so many Americans.

¡Absolutamente maravilloso!

The 3 best modern Orchestra compositions to be played in no particular order are as follows; Live & Let Die The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Star Wars And Thank you Kevin for posting this video, was a real treat and made my day.

all these musicians will be able to say i played for the legendary John Williams, and it was damn good

Thanks for putting this up. I last saw Williams in SF back in the 1990s (Schindler's List had come out). A little girl (can't remember her name) played all the solo bits by Itzhak Perlman.

Imagine if they used disco tracks, which is what some at the studio wanted.

aaaarrrrr, aaaarrr

When you look for Academy Awards for music, John Williams is 2nd to the House of Mouse... but it took four sets of composers for Disney to beat one man. Some of his movie themes will be forgotten (for instance, the Towering Inferno) but others will stay a long time. The Superman theme (1978), the Star Wars themes (1977), Jaws, Hook, the Indiana Jones series, E.T., Jurassic Park, ... the hits just keep coming. JW, you da man!

and Schindlers List, a masterpiece!

Both grandly elegant and joyously exhilarating! I so fervently wish that I could demonstrate for each of you reading my comment how richly wondrous this music is for me. First, I love the classical symphony, and motion picture scores in the classical style. Next, I have an extraordinarily wide vocal range that enables me to sing all eight voices of the chorus. A friend I had known whilst at university, a piano performance major of considerable ability, told me that my voice could extend down to the fifth ledger line below the bass clef, and up to the D above high C (and once an A)! Unfortunately, I lack the means to afford the training and development of my talents into marketable skills, that I could earn a worthy income; and potentially even wealth, that I could facilitate young people in their own similar endeavours.

Joseph Charles ,John Williams is so vastly educated and experienced. His whole life a full emersion into the cosmic universe ,the Force . His Vast Study and emersion into Wagner, Mozart, Strauss, Hayden, echos throughout his compositions. He is a blessing to the Earth, to humanity. Music is magic. It echos , resonates emothions and memories past ,present ,future and everything beyond, in between. Williams dwells here.

@@elainenagano2735 No doubt. I agree completely with what Harrison Ford said during a tribute: “John, you’re a genius.” And just to be clear, I wasn’t denigrating his music, only making the point that, like Tchaikovsky and the composers you mention (I’d add Holst and Korngold, too), Williams knows precisely how to evoke an emotional effect through music. He nails it every time. I think of the cue in _Jaws_ that begins with Brody seeing the shark. That music takes us on a ride. It has terror, awe, humor, tension, even adventure. The precision of that evocative sequence is incredible. Genius.

War Memorial Opera House ,I presume?

What is the use of a conductor? It is ONLY SOMEONE WHO MAKES HIS ARMS GO, what do the musicians do during a musical piece THEY LOOK AT THEIR PARTY, THEY NEVER LOOK AT THE CONDUCTORNEY, IT IS TRUE

Conductor is giving general timing synchronization. Speed of sound is such that large groups like this cannot perform without the central conductor keeping sections in sync. But beside that, the conductor is present throughout all rehearsals, voicing the piece in the way he desires. Conductor is ESSENTIAL to the interpretation of any orchestral work.
