As we're marking the 90th birthday of maestro John Williams, I thought I'd ask a little question of our SST users: What's your favorite JW march?
Here I've suggested 3 of his best known, but you can "write in" another choice below under the comments. |

It's amazing how many themes John Williams has produced that people still recognize. I'm talking about themes that you can hum and people will identify nearly instantaneously.
Jaws
The Star Wars franchise (main theme and Imperial March)
Superman
Raiders of the Lost Ark (film)
Alone at Home
Jurassic Park
Harry Potter
He also composed music for a slew of other well-known films (with good themes, just less memorable in the grand scheme). Alan Silvestri is, in my opinion, the finest theme creator after Williams (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, The Avengers). |
