Star Wars: Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi - John Williams - ...

those silly ewoks. It s hard to imagine that those little teddybears even got themselves two feature films plus a cartoon series past Jedi! Throughout the last two entries, John Williams had been expanding his palette of themes, so with seven main themes and numerous sub-themes by the time he started work on Return of the Jedi, there was certainly much to work with. Now Williams had composed an amazing score for Star Wars and had followed that up with a far superior score for The Empire Strikes Back. This caused a big problem for Williams. Would he attempt to write an even greater score than Empire, or would he keep up with the standard set by that previous film. In all ...

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind - John Williams - Soundtr ...

but John Williams magically weaves a classic Disney tune into it - I won t say which, as it is pivotal to the story. this end peice has such a great feeling of relief, resolution and conclusion, with just a teensy hint of what if? and what next? Parts of the soundtrack reminds me of bits and pieces of the music from Hitchcock films, as indeed do many of the actual scenes from the film - try comparing this film with North by Northwest, and you might just see what I mean. This soundtrack, to me, is different. It stands out. I actually wanted to own this, as well as the film s DVD. Did I mention Spielberg made the visuals and John Williams made the music? That is ...

you with further preamble, let us get on with the review proper shall we. Enjoy! With Star Wars becoming a huge mega-hit both cinematically as well as musically, John Williams was only starting to flex his muscles in the scoring of huge, summer blockbusters with larger than life symphonic scores that were to become the norm from there on end. For the large populus, this kind of romantically accessible music for the Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Superman sagas came to epitomise the “sound” of film music of the era in very much the same way as the epics of Miklós Rózsa did in the 1950s and the jazzy grooviness of Lalo Schifrin did in the 1960s. With a lot of his major ...
