It's a daunting task to wade into the brilliance of John Williams' music, but I was happy to take the plunge in this episode. We're looking at four different iconic themes from the Star Wars universe: Main Title, Force Theme, Imperial March/Vader's Theme, & Rey's Theme. I hope you enjoy the space adventure!

The Melodies of Star Wars, Vol. I | Behind the Score - Ep. 68

As you may know, I am a Star Wars fanatic since I saw it when I was 7 in 1977. It has ever since been ingrained into my life. I saw all the movies, read a majority of the books, including the Extended Universe. Read many of the comics. I've even written around 50 fan fiction stories in Star Wars. The music of John Williams is so cinematic that I can "see" scenes just from listening to the music cues. As far as going further, there are so many different themes for each character. Yoda's theme. Leia's theme. Luke and Leia's theme. In the prequels, there is the Duel of the Fates, which is similar to Carmina Burana. The Battle of Heroes from Revenge of the Sith portrays a fallen Jedi. SO many different themes to explore.

We’ll, that was educational, entertaining and fun ! Possibly one of my favourite behind the scores, although I’m new here so that’s not saying much. I particularly liked the discussion around the annakin vs Vader dichotomy and how that was manifested in the music. Just confirms for me that film music is just as valid a compositional art form as any thing else in art music ( for want of a better term) I’m sure that Beethoven, Mozart et Al would have embraced this genre if they were composing today Looking forward to diving into more of these.

One of the most fun things is to watch a John Williams scored movie with orchestral musicians and name the numerous musical references sprinkled throughout his scores. He runs the gamut of great Romantic composers from Bartók to Wagner, and everyone is between!

Where to go next? Compare/contrast William's use of leitmotifs with Howard Shore's in LOTR?
