Another 1977 10 year old here who also was mesmerized.

1977... I was 10 years old when I watch the first Star Wars movie at the theaters, my brother who was 16 at the time took me. I thought it was the coolest movie that I've ever seen, we both wanted to stay and watch it a second time but we didn't have any money. ( good memories )

[ronward]

I remember sitting in a theater full of people in 1977 as the final credits rolled. No one got up to leave. No one wanted it to end.

[steffenhammerby]

The force is strong with these musicians

[Pisolino]

The soundtrack alone was already worth the price of the film's ticket

[jimheron]

I was privileged to see episode 4 when it came out in 1977, i have never been the same since. John Williams music was a huge part of this journey.

[SqueakingLion]

It's incredible how complex this musical piece is, and most people just recognize it as "The Star Wars Theme" never realizing just how much effort it took to create it. Masterfully done.

[drumstick]

Some orchestras do this theme ok. But this orchestra does it justice. Well done.

May The Force Be With You! Thank You Danish Symphony Orchestra !!💯💯💯💯💯🇺🇸

[marcfleischmann]

Nothing better than great movie music like this!
Listen to those themes and go back in time
All you needed was a big box of popcorn to share with someone special!

I'm in my 40's and i still get a buzz from this when it plays.

[mikeserot]

To me, there will never be a a film composer as good as John Williams. The man is a musical genius.

[LibertyandFreedom]

I was 7yrs old, sitting in the theater with my father not expecting that I was going to have a memory that has stayed with me this day. No movie as EVER even come close to the power of this intro. The intro rolls in quietly and then all the sudden, a sledgehammer hits, the Corellian Corvette being assaulted by that Star Destroyer, not a peep from any child during that whole movie. Could not keep my eyes from leaving the screen for a nanosecond.

[Mitch.Wasserman]

A masterpiece, masterfully preformed.

[szenki]

this is amazing. it sounds exactly how it should

[iangaines]

The talent of these people is world class

[ralts]

You can see the force flowing through these amazing and dedicated musicians playing this theme!

[drbettyschueler]

When I hear you all play the music from these fabulous films I am transported back to the happiest time of my life. I still had my family around me and the kids were just the right age to be entranced by the movies and music. I think I have heard the main theme from Star Wars a thousand times, over the years, and it still gives me a thrill as does the music from the other films in your Calaxymphony. Thank you so very much for sharing your marvelous programs on YouTube.

With that opening fanfare, John Williams established his reputation for the next 500 years.

[feslenraster]

How awesome must it have been for them to play this song? they all looked like they were so into it
