John Williams will always be a name I remember because of my piano teacher. He loved John William and wanted to be him. That piano teacher was the best piano teacher I’ve ever had.
8:45 - “John, you breathe belief into every film we have made.” *You breathe belief ...* Wow. It is as true as it is impactful and poignant. When I am feeling kicked down by life, I just need play a smattering of themes from Williams and I begin to believe again. My heart takes courage because that’s how powerful his scores are. They transform, transport and enable me to transcend. Thank you, Hobbs, for covering this genuine American treasure. 🥰
Well done! Great piece on a master composer. Interestingly - recently listened to a podcast (The Score) where they mentioned that Williams wrote the opening Star Wars theme in Bb major to seamlessly transition from the 20th Century Fox fanfare - also in Bb. He thought of every detail.
I had the extreme honor to meet John Williams at his 90th bday celebration in Tanglewood this year. He is so humble and it was awesome to thank him in person.
John Williams has done masterpieces in the Star Wars universe But he ain't the only one that can do so Have you seen Andor? The music in there feels fresh and is so d@mn good as well Also Kevin Kiner is another example, the ending season of The Clone Wars, has eargasmic tracks, and Tales of the Jedi (Dooku's scenes) have beautiful music as well
He did not just changed the music on films, he literally created an entire genre, inspiring many modern day composers for video games,shows/anime, and movies and many more to come
Very interesting video, but besides Williams, there are other very important composers: Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, Henry Mancini, Bill Conti, Alan Silvestri, James Horner and many others
@@tori2dles … I respect Holyhobs because he taught us many anecdotes about the Beatles, their songs and also about other songs, bands and singers that we didn't know. And I also like his songs. This video is very nice, but it gave me the impression that he wanted to describe John Williams as the only great soundtracks composer, all the others are not so good. May be I'm wrong. It wolud be very nice if he would make a series about the best soundtracks composers.
Nice video, but the Imperial March (aka "Darth Vader's Theme") was written for The Empire Strikes Back so you never saw Vader "walking around the Death Star" with that music in the background, and also not sure why you had to play a snippet of "Duel of the Fates" over the original light-saber battle which had no music written for it?

John Williams made my childhood soundtrack

Damn it, now I have to go watch every thing John Williams has ever composed. Thanks a lot......

Yea! Thanks John Williams for scarring the shit out of me during JAWS!!! Loved every moment of it...as a teenager.
Great Video.
Lol

Rick beato went into detail with the Star Wars theme. This was one of his main points too
This was surprisingly awesome video

Star Wars would not be the same without John Williams. His music is part of the reason I love the series so much.
John Williams has done masterpieces in the Star Wars universe
But he ain't the only one that can do so
Have you seen Andor? The music in there feels fresh and is so d@mn good as well
Also Kevin Kiner is another example, the ending season of The Clone Wars, has eargasmic tracks, and Tales of the Jedi (Dooku's scenes) have beautiful music as well
Fun fact: John Williams' son is Toto's lead singer. Also, can you please do a video for "Take on Me" by a-ha?
He sure was a big part of those movies he's worked on
Every time we played John Willliams' piece in orchestra, I was brought to the edge of tears.
Was lucky to see him with the LSO at The Albert Hall performing the entire score for A New Hope’
Memorable

Alex 080267 - Maybe he’s starting a little series and this is the first.
Not to forget Hans Zimmer.

@@schumifannreins295 yes and many others.
John Williams' music PROPELS, DRIVES a film.

I walk to my own Leitmotif ♫ created by John Williams #Master
Erich Wolfgang Korngold changed film music forever. John Williams reminded us of Korngold's greatness, by being equally great himself.
I'm gonna be so sad when John Williams dies. We will never have another. He practically scored my childhood.
You lost me when you pronounced “Richard Wagner”.... can’t take this seriously now
JW is a stone cold genius.
Come on. This shit ain’t Beethoven.
