What an underrated score. This perfectly encapsulates Anakin’s entire life. Anakin’s theme sounds so nostalgic and innocent, but at the same time there’s that dread and hint of sadness. Same goes for Love Across the Stars. It’s like his life is destined for sadness
As we grow older, we gradually understand what Anakin`s story is really all about... When we`re kids, it`s such a different story isn`t it? But as time passes, we get disappointed by people, and we eventually disappoint others... We see ourselves in situations which seem like there`s no way out... And it doesn`t really matter how hard we try, or what we do... In the end, we are often the villains in other people`s stories, and sometimes, even in our very own... This song is a master piece. So are the prequels, with all of their flaws.
How is it underrated? It's one of the most popular SW themes ever! Even the people who didn't enjoy the prequel movies tend agree that John Williams outdid himself, some going so far as to say that the music he wrote for the prelogy even surpasses what he composed for the original trilogy.
What I remember about the rise of the Empire is… is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip; We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word.
Like someone else here commented, there´s actually a lot of the Imperial March hidden in this piece of music, together with the motifs for the Force and for Luke. They´re just hints, but when you listen carefully, they´re there 🙂
You can hear the imperial theme most clearly there, but if you listen closely, you can hear the Imperial march throughout the entirety of Anakin's theme. Williams disguised it with a very different key and altered the rhythm to hide the "march" but Anakin's theme is essentially a mix of the Imperial march and the themes for the Force and for Luke. If you analyze the notes, you can find the basic structure for all three themes, interwoven to create something new. It's absolutely brilliant.
I dont get it Played the old battlefront and the new one I like battlefront2 2017 much more than the old ones Whats the deal most people have with the old ones
@@brunoderkameramaa8005 the deal is...we didn't have the new ones. I grew up with those, I put HOURS into them. That's the deal and because of that nostalgia I'd still play them today, it's not all about graphics or loot mechanics or Yadda Yadda, it's about the feeling that games bring, the feeling of it not being EA trash.
@@budjy1 so its simpli nostalgic nothing more? Ok i feel more love in the new one The old ones are great thats true, bit i think much people never played the new one and just trashtalk about something they never tryed
@@brunoderkameramaa8005 Of course it's not just nostalgia, the nostalgia forms from the quality of them, there was nothing like it at the time for the star wars feel. Another reason is the modding for it was and still is much better than the current games and that gameplay was simple and yet so replayable. The new ones with this card system are bad, it's not testing skill, it's testing who has the shiny purple cards and who doesn't. I have played both of the new ones for hours and hours and I will stand by and say they do not compare to the first ones as I'm sure most of the community will. Whole gaming communities are not based off purely rejecting other games out of principal, for most people money or access to a system is not an issue so they can try them and they do. Star wars gaming has died and needs a revival.
In the normal score of the film for across the stars, you can faintly hear the tuba in the background, but in this video, the tuba stands out at 3:32 when the song crescendos into the beautiful masterpiece that is Across the stars. It gives me chills when I hear it since I am a tuba player but as well as shows that every single instrument has a role that is crucial for the delivery of the theme and as well shows the true masterminds brilliance that is John Williams. George Lucas may have created the star wars universe and showed us the true beauty of it but John Williams emphasized on Lucas's actions and gave it heart and emotion and depth to intertwine the beauty of film and a perfect orchestral score. I say this all of the time and I feel that it's true, star wars would have never become the thing that it is today without John Williams. In order for a movie to be good, it must have a director who knows what he is doing, but for a movie to be great and beyond is for the director and composer to know exactly what they're doing and that is what star wars is. It's unfortunate and heartbreaking that he will not return to star wars but he will ALWAYS have a place to be loved and respected by star wars fans for generations to come and his name will be etched into history as one of the greatest composers of all time. May the force be with you guys
Poor Ani- even this exquisite music sounds longing to forgive him for his fated life. The Ani Padme theme is so lovely, just drenched in tender romance and utter tragedy.
When I was doing my grad work, my orchestration professor used Anakin’s theme in one of his lessons. Most of his lessons talked about film scoring, which was one of the best classes I’ve ever taken in my life. Hearing the parallels between that theme and the imperial March is just chilling.
Agree on music but not story wise. TPM was just pointless and didn’t add anything to the saga, AOTC should’ve been the first movie and it was alright though I don’t like the Padme being in danger plot, TCW should’ve been the second movie. ROTS is the best of the 3 but still not great. I never got the whole Padme dying thing. It was alright, just poorly executed, and OT does everything else than music better
one of the best orchestras in the world.. you should see them live or listen to some of their other covers.. playing mozart, brahms and bethoven gets a bit boring after many years,.. they are so versatile
i hope when john williams passes away the world of classical music and movie music would come together and honour him. by having the biggest orchestra ever come together and play all his iconic music because he has made us believe! without him there is no Star Wars, E.T, jurassic park, harry potter and many more like we know, to me he is one of the greatest composers ever and he stayed true to the classical side of music no one will be ever like him.
Steven Spielberg said “Without John Williams, bikes don’t really fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes. There is no Force, dinosaurs do not walk the Earth, we do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe.”
The truly wonderful thing that John Williams did here was go back to the Imperial March that he had written years before and reset it as the innocent theme for young Annakin. Musically, you can hear the origins of an evil character as a lad. I think it’s quite brilliant.
at the first momento all I can hear a innocent child, really inteligent and happy, and then passion, and it's intensity can become anger and can lead to evil and suffering, but there is also hope, love seems to be a hope but no, and then I can hear it all together passion,love,anger and tragedy.
This masterpiece (Across the Stars) makes me cry every time. Not because it's sad but Just the beauty of it. When I'm making my proposal one Day then I will include this in a way
Playing the oboe looks so unbelievably difficult. 5:13 He's been playing for just a few bars and you can see his face turning red and the veins appearing all over his face
That is an English Horn (Cor Anglias in Europe) and it is like twice as difficult as an oboe. I actually think his second to last note was supposed to be an octave lower.
Oh wow! Thank you 😁 it's funny to me because the cor anglais looks and sounds nothing like the French horn (cor français) And what makes the cor anglais so difficult to play?
@@alexisbarrette7652 Double reed instruments are notoriously finicky, The reed must be perfectly constructed. And you are correct, the English Horn (woodwind) and French Horn (Brass) which was actually created in Germany, are nothing alike other than a similar sounding name.
Its actually hidden in various parts of the score but John Williams remove the march aspect of it but if you look at the notes there are many similarities between this and imperial march
One of the best things to come out of the prequels (Attack of the Clones). Such a masterpiece. And props to the Danish Symphony, I like their version the best.
The rise and fall of an individual of great promise who allowed very adverse circumstances to destroy him, thus becoming the very opposite of what he had set out to be in the first place. He sought redemption at the last moment, and to a certain extent, he was granted some of it after a life of evil deeds. All of that in a masterful piece by maestro Williams. This and the Light of the Force are exceptional bookends to the Anakin Skywalker drama.
If there's one thing the prequeles had in spades was the soundtrack. It was as good as the original imo. That alone makes it better then the Disney trilogy. This one. for exemple, perfectly tells the fall of Anakin into darkness only by the score.
coming to watch this after trying to find an orchestra play the clone wars anakin and padme theme. I love how this has kind of like the whole journey of their love, the sweeter and more innocent sides, then the bits with darkside influence. What I love about both of these themes, although they portray the same couple, this one has the whole journey whereas the clone wars one is just a snippet (ha) of that, and instead is a lot sadder because we know how this is gonna end.
Can someone secure me this is played in John Williams and Hans Zimmer concert this is my favorite at least the force theme would be great or duel of the faires
The greatest thing the troubled Prequel films ever gave the world was the majestic classic score by John Williams more than anything else over those 3 films. In my view they are a match against the legendary OT Star Wars films.
the whole concert upload from a private user got taken down, and now the uploaded pieces... i would love to buy the whole star wars concert part, but i think u cant... :/

At 1:51 you can hear a little bit of the imperial march, showing that Anakin turned to the dark side because of his misguided love for Padme

@@zatador9783John Williams himself was first to mention this on the Phantom Menace dvd behind the scenes featurette
This orchestra is amazing. They really capture the love and emotions between Anakin and Princess Amadalla.
They're awesome in any perfomance, not only Star Wars.
Panthera Pardus Amidala was a Queen and later a senator
nute gunray lol
Princess?
They bring tears to my eyes not only for how well they perform any song but also cause it make me very sad that the Skywalker saga is over
Jesus christ it's brilliant, it's so nostalgic, it's all the battlefronts (the good ones) wrapped into one
Yeah i just had the chills at 2:10 with my memories of Battlefront 2 and playing galactic conquest 😪

I often listen to this at night, and this is where most of the time I have to turn the volume down :D

3:35 love that moment
Anakin's theme, Han and Leia, Rey's theme. Some of the best music written.

HOLY COWWWWW, simply AMAZING...BEST ORCHESTRA EVER by million miles awayy....😱😱🤯
At the end of Anakin's theme, John Williams put in the beginning of The Imperial March (aka Vader's theme).
Its actually hidden in various parts of the score but John Williams remove the march aspect of it but if you look at the notes there are many similarities between this and imperial march
One of the best things to come out of the prequels (Attack of the Clones). Such a masterpiece. And props to the Danish Symphony, I like their version the best.
These are the best themes in Star Wars period
This song is beautiful , especially from the danish orchestra.
This is one of those pieces that takes me places. Hard to describe and moves far beyond Star Wars.
The menace / sweetness / hope / brutality is vowen together without flaw.
My goosebumps would stand up and clap for them too. What an incredible Orchestra!
The transition at 1:42 is pure Williams magic!
3:30 oh man that part is so good :'( Anakins story is so tragic
2:52 and forwards is just beautiful
The theme's downward riff clearly indicates that the child's fate is doomed and bond to darkness and suffering...
INSPIRATOR SUBLEME HEAVENLY EXCELLECE WORK OF ART
Some of John Williams' best work if you ask me. So beautiful and sad.
anakin's theme is very underrated. also better than any cue in the sequel trilogy.
I hope you idiots realize john williams did all of the music for 7-9.
The sequel trilogy had fantastic music imo. All of it was fantastic in fact.
Across The Stars may be Williams greatest work for Star Wars, if not his career. Such an incredible piece.
The beauty of the music is wonderful. This conductor and orchestra are wonderful. Thank you for posting this.
I just want to cry loudely !
my all time favorite. soo insanely beautiful, a true masterpiece
