Music By John Williams

[Graham Ritchie]

Just finished watching it on Disney plus tonight, and highly recommend it.

His music is so iconic, you need not even see the actual film, to enjoy his orchestrations. His music truly is stand alone, which cannot be said of most composers. John Barry and Elmer Bernstein are another two that fit this category.

Hi Osi,

John williams has to be one of the greatest film composers of all time. Every score that he has ever written just goes perfectly with that movie. So much so that you only have to listen to one bar of music, and you know exactly from which film it comes from. I don't think any other composor has ever done that. It's like a marriage made in heaven.

If you like film scores I don't know if you have heard of conductor and arranger John Wilson and his Orchestra.
John wilson started out with the fascination of the MGM film scores, that has been destroyed back in the late 60s.
He sat down and listen to them over and over again till it was possible to rewrite every band part exactly as it was on the film soundtrack. He then put together one of the greatest studio Orchestras to recreate them. The rest as they say is history.

The clip below is a recreation of one of the Tom and Jerry scores.

You will find some interesting films on scoring motion pictures on YouTube. Here is one:

SCORE: A Film Music Documentary | How Film Scores are Created | Hans Zimmer | John Williams

What makes a film score unforgettable? Featuring Hans Zimmer, James Cameron, Danny Elfman, John Williams, Quincy Jones, Trent Reznor, Howard Shore, Rachel Portman, Thomas Newman, Randy Newman, Leonard Maltin, and the late James Horner and Garry Marshall, SCORE: A FILM MUSIC DOCUMENTARY brings Hollywood's elite composers together to give viewers a privileged look inside the musical challenges and creative secrecy of the world's most international music genre: the film score. A film composer is a musical scientist of sorts, and the influence they have to complement a film and garner powerful reactions from global audiences can be a daunting task to take on. The documentary contains interviews with dozens of film composers who discuss their craft and the magic of film music while exploring the making of the most iconic and beloved scores in history: “James Bond”, “Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Titanic,” “The Social Network,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and “Psycho.”
