60 years of a wondrus torrential rain of genius... "All art is a gift of the Holy Spirit. When this light shines through the mind of a musician, it manifests itself in beautiful harmonies." ~ Baha'i Faith Writings on Music

Thanks! This is a great tribute to a wonderful composer and orchestrator. I have found so many teaching points in his themes and accompaniment figures.

Hello people I needed to watch this for school

I’ve been a fan of John Williams scores since I was 13, I bought all the Star Wars remastered albums and all the other remasters as well, John Williams is a musical genius and I don’t think any composer can get to his level that he has, don’t get me wrong, I also love Hans Zimmer, Alan Silvestri and Danny Elfman and so on but John is something else....

Nice! I didn't know that Williams scored the music for Jaws.

I love JW!
I'd like to watch a full analysis video o 2 hours about him, not just 3 min! ...Maybe I'm asking too much :D

Awesome video Chris! Just something to correct - in the description you say he was born on January 8, he was actually born on February 8.
