Same, 42 here. He and his music means so much to me. He's the master (or Maestro) of making you feel every emotion. I love a lot of other film composers, but none of their music quite makes me feel the way I do with John's music. He will forever be my favorite.
Those first two notes of the main theme (fifth note of the key, up to the third note of the key above it - or the tenth if you prefer - over the tonic major chord) must be something Williams associates with romantic heroines. Leia’s theme, the Han/Leia love theme, and Marion’s theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark ALL begin the same way.
Both those pieces are lovely. The Han/Leia music is one of the themes I think is a bit underrated in Star Wars music. I think it should be as iconic as the main theme or the imperial March or the Force theme, I think it’s absolutely beautiful and epic.
@@tayo_95 To be clear, I’m talking in each case about the theme proper, not the intro. The first note is the fifth scale degree, the second note is the tenth (or third in the higher octave). The interval *between* those two notes is a sixth (not an augmented sixth), but it’s the relationship to the tonic that is most significant.
Yeah those major 6ths are one of his trademarks for love themes. Also in Superman he uses them. And for harmony he likes using the 1st scale degree chord and a minor 4th. We can also see this in Stargate (David Arnold).
He wrote the soundtrack of my childhood. We were blessed! He made the good times even more joyous and lightened up the bad ones. Thank you for the music!
Lets hope and pray that John williams will be like Yoda and live for many many years to come bringing us more great heartfelt music like this, not that John williams will see this but if he I thank you for all the great enjoyment you have brought to my life through your mastery of writting the greatest music to ever grace our minds aswell as ears.
Definitely has Rosza, Waxman, Steiner and a bit of Elmer Bernstein, you don't hear music like this in modern movies anymore. The orchestrations are so lush and the flute has become a staple of any John Williams love theme
Yes, it's very vintage sounding, like something out of the 30s-50s era. I've noticed Williams' latter scores sounding more old-fashioned over the last decade or so. It's seems he's returning to the roots in the latter days of his career.
100% that’s what I thought too. It harkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood. I actually thought this was the direction he was going to go with The Fablemans.
Beautiful and masterfully done, as always, by the great John Williams. I can't wait to hear this combined with the onscreen action. Thank you, Sir, for the preview! You will always be my absolute favorite!
John Williams always tells a story with his music. I felt impossible love story or a disappointment story with this theme. On the other hand, I'm so sorry that this is farewell music to John Williams.❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
May God please bless this good man. He has given us much in the way of music and it keeps giving. John Williams is indeed a National Treasure as William said.
I wish I could see him at the Hollywood bowl or in Tanglewood once. The theme sounds really lovely, reminds me Sabrina a bit. Cant wait for the soundtrack.
Well he plays at the hollywood bowl every year around september so you still have a couple years chance to go see him. He doesnt conduct as much as he used to at the shows though. He does a few songs himself when just a few years ago hed do half of the show himself, first half is now always handled by a different conductor
The only ones who can complain about this are those brainwashed by the assembly line technique of scoring with the monotonous, D-minor ostinatos and "ping & BWAAAM" syndrome.
I'm gonna miss John Williams and Harrison Ford! 😭 If they both died, I'm giving thanks to John for making great music for movies that people love such as Star Wars, E.T., Jurassic Park (I'm not including World because there's another music composer), Harry Potter, and the list goes on and on! For Harrison Ford, I want to thank him for making Star Wars happen by being Han Solo! I never watch Indiana Jones movies, but i felt like Star Wars is more popular than Indiana Jones!
@@bungobaggins01 I didn’t. I was also thinking about why Marion feels so different for me. I am still thinking. Maybe just more familiar but The first differences I noticed is that Marion’s theme starts more Melodic right away. The first tones are already the melodie, similar to Leia‘s theme. This takes more time to developer. More the John Williams style later on.
@@Kasino80 I was thinking about the book thief and stuff like that. For me, the John Williams style changed a bit after “indy three until the lost world”. There was a transition. I don't mean that negatively. I liked Reys theme for example. But I miss also the more clear themes like that and especially in action themes. Something like asteroid field etc. But he stays the master of classic scores. My favourite.
Imagine if Hans Zimmer did the Indy Jones soundtrack---if that ever came about, it would make Crystal Skull seem like a masterpiece; only Jonny knows what he's doing in Indy's world.
I like both for different reason but for Indiana Jones Williams is a better fit. Since the film is based on the old school tv shows the music should also be reference of that time period/style. Zimmer is too modern.
@@StopmotionStudios13 I don't count minimalism as modern, not for the past 30 years where Phillip Glass has made acareer out of it, though he likes music in his music. Sorry, Zimmer is just a series of sound effects to me

I used to do regular concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. You might the crickets would be a negative, but they actually adds something magical to the event. When you sit right at the back (the acoustics are amazing), with the crazy neon lit cross on the mountain in the background, it's sort of like the end of Close Encounters. It's a great place to hear music.
A beautiful piece, but I'm missing some...punch or intrigue. But perhaps in the mix of the rest of the score it will stand out. It felt a bit meandering and unfocused.
that's exactly what I thought as well. I was waiting for it to really get going and it just... didn't. a forgettable score for a forgettable movie, no doubt.
Why is it that so many composers have the first violin section doubling wind solos or soli’s? The strings completely drown out the soloists. Notable examples that pop in my mind from the classical repertoire are Beethoven 6, Brahms 3, and Heldenleben (although it was the cellos that drown out the horns in that piece).
It's all about voicing. In a studio or in the composers heads, it allows the voices to be heard. In concert, that subtlety is often lost. We instead still get a nice full sound, with woodwind bringing warmth to the violin section.
At least Goldsmith and Horner burned brightly until they died may they Rest In Peace. This composition is weak and substandard compared to his earlier work. He should have retired while he was still good. Everything since Harry Potter has been progressively worse.
Had a chance to see him at the Hollywood Bowl 3 years ago. We need more years from John Williams.
He is a national treasure and is one of the greatest composers, on Earth. God bless him.
Absolutely
For our age..he is the greatest living composer..🥰👵🇦🇺🇺🇸
Yes. American composers are wonderful.
World treasure!
EVERY MAJOR PIECE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM WAS STOLEN FROM PREVIOUS COMPOSERS HE NEEDS TO GIVE ALL OF HIS MONEY TO THEIR LIVING HEIRS
I cannot understate the importance of his music to cinema. He is the greatest composer of film that’s ever lived.
Ive been listening to John Williams' music since i was a kid. Im now 41 and im still in awe of his talent. The man is literally a genius.
Same age and experience here. And to think he was scoring movies a decade before we were born.
@@dreamlandnightmare he's actually been scoring movies since the 50's

Chills, Goosebumps, and teary eyes. That is the John Williams magic for you

I wonder if he'll join Lucas in his retirement, when Lucas makes his private films.

Don't know what notes or keys, but after hearing this beautiful theme, the first song that entered my mind was Could This Be Magic by Donna Summer.
I always thought Leia's theme opened with an augmented 6th interval, but you're saying it's 5th to the 10th?

Happy retirement John thanks for all the beautiful memories my ears adored them !
BEAUTIFUL! Classic Williams. Those complaining, listen to songs like Leia's Theme. This is reminiscent.
Leia's theme....awesome

You can hear it when it's John Williams' sound !
I love how he scores out his cues and motifs into full pieces.
Happy birthday Johnny and many, many more!!!!!!!!!😛❤👍🇺🇸🔥⚡🤖
Love how it slightly hints at the Indiana Jones theme ever so slighlty near the end!
at 4:56 you can hear a bit of the original love theme :')
Yes!! Right before it goes back into the Raiders March! Sheer brilliance. Can’t wait for Indy 5!
Just got back after watching Jaws in IMAX. He is the maestro.
Lucky you. Good to hear it's on the big screen again in a way it deserves. How was the sound?
Have a peaceful night 💜 Hope you all find your inner stillness.
4:00 That woodwind feature!!! And then the French Horns after them! 😍 Just lovely.
The Maestro is 90 and he is still working. He looks old and his voice sounds tired but He's Awesome!
Thank you very much for uploading!
I hope I'm THAT creative at 90! :)
Thank you merci Danke!!!! Wonderfull man 💖❤️👍🥰
Conductors have the longest lifespans. Bless the gentleman.
I first learned about Solresol in Close Encounters Thank you for Education through Cinema.
I attended one of these Hollywood Bowl concerts and it was really fun seeing all those bouncing lightsabers during the Imperial March
Lets hope he gets to do the next Bond movie too.

Too bad it's gonna be wasted on a horrible movie. Like putting a beautiful dress on a sewer rat.
yeah not his best work.
You’re right, unfortunately. Agreed 100%. Hard to top one of the best composers to ever do it though…so he sets the highest of bars for himself.
No, but not his worst.
