- Richard Dreyfuss hosts with John Williams conducting a scene from JAWS first without the music followed by the composer's contribution. Originally broadcast on PBS from "The Boston Pops" series.
I've seen Jaws so many times that I can still hear the music
Same
Still
Super amazing
Same here
a scene without music is like a black and white picture.. John fills it with colors. John gives a soul to a scene. and now the scene comes alive
I love moviemaking. The right soundtrack makes ALL the difference in the world. People underestimate it.
Actually not bad without the music, still felt really intense. But John still added something. HIs score emphasizes the emotion that the characters are all feeling and the tedious and painstaking battle they're having with this shark filled with successes and disappointments.

The music is the soul of the films!
jose soto exacly ! Couldnt have said it better myself.
Without the music I was actually singing in my head.
what an odd coincidence. i was listening to the Jaws soundtrack yesterday and realised what a huge difference the soundtrack made. and then i found this!
My very first record album purchase that year -- my first album purchase ever -- was the Jaws score. It was missing quite a few of the cues but it also included concert versions of some of those cues as well. I fell in love the the variety of that score. Fugues, seafaring adventure, the famous theme, the Fourth of July prelude, etc. Those of my friends that asked me "why would you want a record of just two notes being played" missed the brilliance of john Williams' score. Later I purchased a CD of the full score including my favorite cue when the pier was torn out and the floating section turns around when the lower tones had the higher strings included in the shark theme as the piece of pier headed towards the fisherman in the water. I think I will always love this score above all others because it was my first.
I love the movie and the music. But hearing it without music, having gone fishing a few times and knowing what it sounds like to be out in the water and not hear anything but what is going on just within your surroundings, this sounded more immersive. I felt more like I was right there.
3:14 is JW saying "OK you can stop holding your breath now"
Williams is the soul of the films.
One of the best composers in the American cinema
JW's genius is also in how detailed and subtle the moments are. For instance, at the end there, you can hear a mocking clarinet, either as if the shark were mocking the hunters, or as if we found Hooper's grimace funny... and the tragic aspect of such a chance lost. The darkness is tempered and this ambiguity is super smart. Raiders of the Lost Ark is full of these.
i've heard this score so many times, i still heard the orchestra playing note for note..i just cldnt mute the score in my head for the scene without the music.
The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is playing the whole score along with the movie at Roy Thomson Hall the end of March 2018. Tickets are near $100 so I sadly had to pass. Check out their site.
Williams is a Genius
Like watching 2 totally different films. Incredible.
POV: Yoor here from a music lesson
Amazing the difference music makes to your emotions watching the scene 😄
This is the difference between John Williams' work and the work of other modern composers who I won't name. They're music is scenery, Williams' music is a fully rounded character.
1:31 Richard gets a little bit emotional like : "I miss those good old days..." Even I get emotional by seeing this. Beautiful.
For someone that dissed the character in interviews after filming, he sure loves that movie now!
wow. the power of music...
The music guides the audience's emotions to match the actors and the director's story.
Amazing, sublime
perfeito , entrou ao vivo, show nota 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!
I started playing the Presidential Music in my head when I saw Jaws approaching the vessel.
Wow . Night and day 👏
music is so important in our life
John Williams IS the movies!
Super cool
Sea attack number one. I love this music.
I'm not the biggest Williams fan, but JAWS is a great score (I think his best). Even Jerry Goldsmith (whom I am a big fan of) said that '75 was the one year that a nominated score of his wasn't most deserving of the award.
It pulses with energy with the score. It is HALF as interesting without it.
Kind've shows how egotistically self-serving the "auteur" theory is. These directors and actors take all the bows, but without the contributions of editing and music, their "work" is pretty lame. You think Hitchcock would be such an icon without Bernard Herrmann's music as well? Watch Psycho with the sound off,..
Caswell39A Not always. Even Steven Spielberg said that his movies are only half as good without the score, which is why he always comes to Williams for a new score.
The score for Jaws is a character in itself. Not just the dum dum dum dum. But all the themes and motifs. They underscore the characters and moments incredibly. My absolute favorite moment in the film is the HUGE orchestra swell as the shark goes by the Orca for the first time and we see how big it is. And the moment Hooper bolts down the ladder. The shark hunt starts. And the music absolutely takes off. I've seeen it a 100 times and it never fails to give me a shiver of excitement. Wonderful stuff. You KNOW you're watching a REAL movie.
Caswell39A I think it is quite wrong to say their work is lame. Also quite funny how you highlight the word work to make a mockery out of it. As far as actors go, yes they are not the most crucial aspects to a film and you can replace them quite easily with other. However disregarding a director's work is inappropriate. Film is after all a director's medium and even without the music you can clearly see how much effort has been put into a film already before the music kicks in. The only effect absence of music has is the film invokes lesser emotions. Also music has to go in a film as it is how the medium always was. So you can take out Williams and use any ordinary composer who would add in the desired musical underscores and the movie would still have mostly the same effect. Only difference is that Williams, being the master he is, certainly makes great music that may emotionally add more to a scene than an ordinary composer would, but at the end of the day the movie still comes out excellent. What a great director does to a film is much more significant compared to what a great composer adds to a film. Besides it is the director's vision that inspires and motivates the composer. However, we should celebrate all talents that make a film a film.
roquefortfiles - As an obsessive and fanatical acolyte of Williams, I'm just here to say "thank you" for mentioning that "HUGE orchestra swell." That singular instant is also my very favorite moment in this inspired score. The score's like a mash-up of swashbuckling pirate adventure, pastoral Americana tradition, and a bit of horror. And that moment when the shark reveals itself alongside the Orca is like a religious experience, an encounter with the numinous - Williams nailed it.
Movies are not the same without a good music score to heighten the scene. Other past Hollywood composer such as Jerry Goldsmith and others before also had to put in a score for a scene when they are given a particular part of the completed film. Romance comedy adventure action fright. It all has to fit perfectly to that moment.
Glad you mention Jerry -- The GOAT . . . and talk about somebody who often had to do some heavy lifting with his music!
Without the music just feels like a sharks just swimming around and poses no threat
EPIC
Timing was just a tad bit off from the original if you watch side by side but not by much. Maybe 1/2-1 second.
Ngl and tbh the movie is a lot better with the music than without it.
Wow...just......wow. i echo what someone else said, its like breathing life into something thats not living.
Not as good without the music.
(EDIT: Also I noticed that the music isn't the same as heard in the film, just wanted to point that out.)
Fredbear 87 The music is the movie:)
This is the music from the film. What do you mean? It’s not the official version, but it’s John conducting the same track live.
I think you mean its done by a different orchestra so it sounds a little different but it's still the same music nonetheless.
Same score but different instruments are highlighted over others sometimes from what I heard. Not sure why, but the fact we are talking about this is remarkable in itself.
Even without music I can hear only the violins
1:47
armpit farting intensifies
Not only does it get your adrenaline pumping it rivets you to your seat and puts you aboard Orca
Watch the HBO doc. on "Spielberg". The inability of the mechanical shark to work forced the use of suggestion - the water barrels - and music was there to fuel/manipulate the moods/tension. Without Williams music, would "Jaw" or Spielberg be such successes?
I was quoting producer Zanuck, John, but you're right. Weird how these guys make up tales about production. Much like Dustin Hoffman's false claim the famous Midnight Cowboy "I'm walkin' here!" was his improvisation when a regular city cab ran a light while producer Hellman and director Schlesinger both state the driver was a hired extra and it took several takes.
One of my fav movies of all time but w o the music it kinda looked and felt like one of those cheesy italian knock offs like "Cruel Jaws" or something haha
Is there anymore of this?
This clip is from a "Boston Pops" special about John Williams,..nothing else in it from Jaws but a few montages and a segment with Christopher Reeve pre-accident,..
this like boiling chicken in water with no seasoning, hand it to JOHN WILLIAMS, and he gave you back CHIKEN CURRY!
Awesome video! My group, Filmharmonic Brass (based in NYC) is going to be recording this and other John Williams compositions on our debut album. You might be interested in checking it out:
it b funny if back to future music played in it. it wouldnt sound right for thar.
When he add the music it sounds more better
Who else is watching this for a school assignment?
Man, you kids have it so easy these days.
It’s a chorus assignment lol
Acutally without music it scares me more, cause it feels more realistic. Even if I know it's fiction. But thats a personal opinion. Still like the atmosphere of "no country for old men" with very rare music in it.
I actually experienced "Jaws" on it's first run in 1975 prior to any hype/reviews expecting another swashbuckling "Moby Dick" tale. Though 'cliche" now, the first rumblings of the "theme" immediately un-nerved and captivated us. Never have I before or since experienced such intense collective terror in a theatre. That same year, we were equally unprepared for the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" which has a "score" comprised of multi-layed warped "sound effects' - no music at all. Both 'classics" show it's the manipulation of sound that has no boundaries in effectiveness if done well. (I also love "No Country,.." How much have you lost in a coin toss?)
See I think the music covers or suspends the belief that the shark cannot and does not thrash about as it might do in real life. With todays technology we could engineer this into the picture without a need for music.
I liked it without music.
Me too, up to the point where Quint shoots. The lack of music became boring to me then, but before that, it is a different kind of tension. I like it.
Paxpaul Yeah, that's why some scenes, such as Quint's death, lack music. Those scenes works better without it.
I did too, but John Williams' score kind of changes the way we view the situation. Like for instance, I didn't realize how happy and excited they were about the barrel until I heard it with music.
I know who Joe is
Actually without the music it sounds much better and gives it that RAW moment.. JOLLY-WOOD keeps shoving un neccessary music during some un required scenes...
But hey !! That's just me 😁✌
Certainly a valid opinion, Massa. Often music intrudes/manipulates the mood/suspense too obviously. Spielberg's previous "Duel "about a murderous truck relies little on music but the roar and blaring of the truck horn provides its own score much like Hitchcock/Herrmann's variations of bird cries as 'music" in "The Birds". IMO, in "Jaws", the shark is a silent presence so needs Williams to give him a voice.
Neil Peart and John Williams are the best composers ever.
Tbh.. I always found that piece from 3.13 onwards quite unfitting to the intensity of the scene and every other scene it plays in. Way too lighthearted for the tone that's set on screen.
No. You need to understand what Williams is doing here. He is paying tribute to the great pirate movies of the 40s. The high seas. Shiver me timbers. People dont understand the reason for the music
it makes me feel sick watching it.
