Points off for poor percussion and for chickening out of the dissonant ending, but I enjoyed it. :D

The percussion was fine. Don't see you memorising and performing a 7 and a half minute piece of Williams music.

It wasn't bad for their age, but there was a lot of room for improvement. I've been a percussionist, drumline captain, and conductor at various points, so I can't help noticing these things.

Don't see you memorising and performing a 7 and a half minute piece of Williams music.


That's true, although you can certainly listen to me memorizing and performing a 9-minute one if you'd like. :)




Apologies for the mistakes and out-of-tune piano...I can play it a lot better now than I could when I recorded that. Kind of weird to listen to an old version of my arrangement, actually...

Anyway, I also play the end credits suite, but I've never uploaded it because it seemed a little superfluous after "Journey to the Island."

Tall poppy syndrome...had to look that one up. I might have to add that to my vocabulary! :D But no, I'm not a fan of it either. Far too prevalent a phenomenon, especially among kids, and it's probably why as an adult, I'm still rather reluctant to share the things I'm good at...and typically self-deprecating when I do. Apologies if I gave the wrong impression with my post, but I did say "I enjoyed it. :D". It's a very fun and unique arrangement that obviously took a lot of talent to put together, especially for kids their age. My comment about the percussion and the final chord wasn't intended as a scathing denouncement of their hard work.

No worries. I saw your use of the word 'poor' and misinterpreted. Apologies if I seemed harsh in my response, I teach kids as young as this with nowhere near that level of skill, and the most important thing to communicate to them is positive feedback, not words like 'poor' and 'bad'. Feel very strongly about that, though obviously you're not saying to the kids directly. :)

I agree completely, and I definitely wouldn't talk to kids (or any musicians, really) this way about their music. Perhaps I shouldn't do so behind their back, as it were, either. Positive, constructive, enthusiastic feedback is the way to go. :)

The world-renowned Vienna Philharmonic plays music from Star Wars.

Main Title:



The Imperial March:


"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams

"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

I don't get the purpose of theses pieces - the parts that sound like Williams are clear rip-offs - and the others don't even sound close to his style...

Varese posted this on their FB page. Great performance of an incredible work.
Repeat the JWFan pledge after me: 'I hereby recognise John Towner Williams' place in the world as the great composer there has ever been, and I therefore renounce the works of Rozsa, Korngold, Herrmann, Horner, Kamen, Giacchino (unless the prophecy is fulfilled and he becomes the heir to JTW) and Goldsmith, especially Goldsmith. I understand that if I ever refer to Jurassic Park as anything less than "a masterpiece sixty-five million years in the making" I will be resigned to living out my days at the Zimmershrine.'

It's amazing I never knew the Trek one existed, I recall seeing the Poltergiest one in 1983.
