Thank you people !
 
can someone post another source or summary? Thank you !:) 
 
man if you are Frank Lehman, than man, i must give you a big wow!
i do know about you about 10 years already and i do read your stuff. You are just amazing.
 

Emilio's book (specifically the second edition) should be your starting point, and his edited volume (if you or your library can afford it!).
 
If it's specifically Star Wars you're interested in, I've got a pretty substantial and ever-growing bibliography in here: franklehman.com/starwars. I'd also plug Chloe Huvet's recent book, which is a tremendous milestone in JW studies, whether you speak French or not.
 
There's plenty, plenty beyond this, but you should explore on your own, and put those growing musicological research skills to work! Chase up interesting sounding sources, see who gets cited more in order to gauge impact, and (importantly, because this is still a field in its infancy), figure out what hasn't been studied yet!

Hey there!
 
i am studying musicology and for my semestral work i have to map out books and articles about John Williams.  Do you know some book about John Williams? Do you know some articles?  (the most important ones) ?
 
In case you want to be even more helpful could you write me what was the book about and how it was written? I dont have that much money to buy each book or magazine to study it. I can buy only few.
 
Thank you so much for any info.
 
THE MORE INFO, THE BETTER!

This video essentially demonstrates a few basic tricks for writing film underscores, which are used by Williams (as the uploader displays) but are not exclusive to his writing style. The main idea behind underscoring is that the music should support the action on screen but not to draw too much attention to itself (most of the time at least), and these chord progressions that he demonstrates are like the "basis" of how to accomplish that. In fact, these chord progressions lie at the heart of Neo-Riemannian theory, which is worth looking into if one wants a rigorous "derivation" of these kinds of progressions:
 

 
(or you could simply be creative and figure out yourself which chord progressions sound effective).
 
Of course, if you really wanted to write like John Williams, then there is no way that a 10-minute video (or even a series of videos) could show how that could be done, because the only person who will ever truly know how to write like Williams is Williams. Williams has his own logic when it comes to writing music, one which developed over the course of his lifetime and simply couldn't be internalized by anyone even if he wrote a book about his methods. He could talk about all the "how-s" but only he can truly understand his "why-s". 
 
At best, one can only try and emulate Williams based on his work. Gordy Haab is an expert at this I believe (at least when it comes to action music), but if he were asked to write the score to "Ready Player One" then obviously it wouldn't sound anything like what Williams would write, because he isn't Williams. Emulation is really just a "party trick" at the end of the day. 
 
Not to say that one shouldn't study Williams' work, of course - one could learn a lot from it. IMO Williams has an almost impeccable technique, clarity and directness to his music, and listening to his work made me really think about the clarity in mine.
 
All I'm trying to say is, composers shouldn't fall into the trap of trying to "sound" or "write" like another composer. There is no such thing as the "next John Williams". Every person's style is unique, and one should be proud of that, and cultivate that. Studying other composers' works is not about learning to write like the composer you're studying, it is about finding out what it is about their music that "works", and how you can apply that to your own writing.
 
Anyway, the video is still handy as it demonstrates some really useful film-scoring tips.
 
P.S. "Chord progressions" are overrated...it's all about the voice leading! Emin -> Cmaj is just a fancy way of saying "the B goes to C", which I think is much easier to understand. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello there, could anyone send me some transcriptions please? The links are all death. Thank you:)

Hi everyone, 
 
i try to made little video about being thankful for John´s amazing work. Thanks to your JW.com, it has been my home page for many years  
 
 
And this is how John Williams changed my life:
______________________
 
My childhood wasn´t good and I was feeling verry lonely. There was some unreasonable agression i had to  experience from others. Also parents divorced verry badly and i had some serious depressions when i was about 12 years old.
 
It may sound oversensitive, but this is really how it was. During the day i had to live my life, but in the night, before i fell a sleep. I was listening to John Williams music and i felt like - this is my true friend. His music was my best friend in that time. That music gived me feeling that someone likes me. Without this "musical friendship" i think i might not be here anymore. 
 
I was 13 and i started to play and write music. It was my childhood dream to become composer one day like he is. I was studying music a lot, 6 years conservatory in Prague, than i got to Berklee, but as i was accepted, i realised that - the music i would love to compose, my brain simply cant do that well. 
 
Before this realization i was feeling verry sad, anxious and jelaous. Because i was studying so, so hard and so many years. I couldn't understund why- if i am studying so hard - why the God or whatever there is or isnt, why it won't allow me to do it.
 
I wrote some pieces for orchestra and one of them was this piece inspired by John´s music (this is the piece i called Autumn letter - because it was in Autumn i sent a written letter to John Williams about my story and (that my dream is to meet him one day) 
 
 
 
But once i realised that in real world of movie music everything must be completed so fast, i realised, that the time come. Time to give up on my dreams. I simply wasn´t that good, that i could work in industry. My brain was wired differently and i couldnt handle all stress and being creative under stress. I had to decide. And i left music completely.
 
For 2 years i was just "man without dream" i felt useless in the world. I didnt know what to do. But than.. a miracle happened. 
Answer for my letter came and one lovely family behind ocean helped me to make it happen. It was possible for me to meet John Williams and to talk with him personally in his room. The first thing he sayed to me with verry sweet voice and present look in his eyes was: 
 
"Ou.. ou.. you came all that long way across the ocean JUST because of me? " 
 
He looked surprised and i realised how really humble this man must be. When he invited  me to enter, he turned his hands up like there is nothing he has to hide. We talked about music and questions i had since i was young. He was so open to me.
 
Finally in the end, his friend tooked a picture of us. That foto you can see in this video - and since that time, the light came into my life. I knew this moment was really gift  for me from "universe" or whatever we call it. And i finally understud, that there exist people with so much talent that its not possible to try to be like them. Not to compete with them, but to accept it and start to enjoy everything they do as a gift to humanity. 
I came back to home and since that time i forget on being composer. I started to learn to paint with oil and its so funny. All that time, it seems i am better at Art as just a hobby, than to write music. My life is so happy now and i can really enjoy other people's art. 
 
In the end i realised every little thing was part of my life puzzle. When i was feeling so down, suicidal child, there came his music to me and it gived me „hope“.
 
And once i was strong enough and i was somehow "prepaired" to face the thruth. The thruth appeared and i accepted it. I began to be 100 procent honest with my life and give more space for others than before in my hearth. 
 
This was the gift, that John Williams gaved me that day. That day i wont ever forgot. The day of sunrise of my true soul and the sun set of the "past". 
John Williams has really some higher spirit. Some healing power for us all. He is our life teacher. Today i love my parents, my friends, i love the world.
 
Thank you! Thank you so much my friends

I simply wasn´t that good, that i could work in industry. My brain was wired differently and i couldnt handle all stress and being creative under stress. I had to decide. And i left music completely.
 
For 2 years i was just "man without dream" i felt useless in the world. I didnt know what to do. But than.. a miracle happened. 
Answer for my letter came and one lovely family behind ocean helped me to make it happen. It was possible for me to meet John Williams and to talk with him personally in his room. The first thing he sayed to me with verry sweet voice and present look in his eyes was: 
 
"Ou.. ou.. you came all that long way across the ocean JUST because of me? " 
 
He looked surprised and i realised how really humble this man must be. When he invited  me to enter, he turned his hands up like there is nothing he has to hide. We talked about music and questions i had since i was young. He was so open to me.
 
Finally in the end, his friend tooked a picture of us. That foto you can see in this video - and since that time, the light came into my life. I knew this moment was really gift  for me from "universe" or whatever we call it. And i finally understud, that there exist people with so much talent that its not possible to try to be like them. Not to compete with them, but to accept it and start to enjoy everything they do as a gift to humanity. 
I came back to home and since that time i forget on being composer. I started to learn to paint with oil and its so funny. All that time, it seems i am better at Art as just a hobby, than to write music. My life is so happy now and i can really enjoy other people's art. 
 
In the end i realised every little thing was part of my life puzzle. When i was feeling so down, suicidal child, there came his music to me and it gived me „hope“.
 
And once i was strong enough and i was somehow "prepaired" to face the thruth. The thruth appeared and i accepted it. I began to be 100 procent honest with my life and give more space for others than before in my hearth. 
 
This was the gift, that John Williams gaved me that day. That day i wont ever forgot. The day of sunrise of my true soul and the sun set of the "past". 
John Williams has really some higher spirit. Some healing power for us all. He is our life teacher. Today i love my parents, my friends, i love the world.
 
Thank you! Thank you so much my friends

Hi... these lines are so precious! Thanks so much for your letter. Also it would be the lighthouse light for me. 

Hi everyone, 
 
i try to made little video about being thankful for John´s amazing work. Thanks to your JW.com, it has been my home page for many years  
 
 
And this is how John Williams changed my life:
______________________
 
My childhood wasn´t good and I was feeling verry lonely. There was some unreasonable agression i had to  experience from others. Also parents divorced verry badly and i had some serious depressions when i was about 12 years old.
 
It may sound oversensitive, but this is really how it was. During the day i had to live my life, but in the night, before i fell a sleep. I was listening to John Williams music and i felt like - this is my true friend. His music was my best friend in that time. That music gived me feeling that someone likes me. Without this "musical friendship" i think i might not be here anymore. 
 
I was 13 and i started to play and write music. It was my childhood dream to become composer one day like he is. I was studying music a lot, 6 years conservatory in Prague, than i got to Berklee, but as i was accepted, i realised that - the music i would love to compose, my brain simply cant do that well. 
 
Before this realization i was feeling verry sad, anxious and jelaous. Because i was studying so, so hard and so many years. I couldn't understund why- if i am studying so hard - why the God or whatever there is or isnt, why it won't allow me to do it.
 
I wrote some pieces for orchestra and one of them was this piece inspired by John´s music (this is the piece i called Autumn letter - because it was in Autumn i sent a written letter to John Williams about my story and (that my dream is to meet him one day)

Thank you! Thank you so much my friends

Thanks for sharing your very honest and personal post. Lovely playing and you clearly have a lot of talent as displayed in your original music.  Don't give up!!  It's beautiful and thoughtful music.  Like you, my love of John Williams transcends his music.  I am so glad you had the opportunity to meet him and he exceeded your expectations.

In the end i realised every little thing was part of my life puzzle. When i was feeling so down, suicidal child, there came his music to me and it gived me „hope“.
 
And once i was strong enough and i was somehow "prepaired" to face the thruth. The thruth appeared and i accepted it. I began to be 100 procent honest with my life and give more space for others than before in my hearth. 
 
This was the gift, that John Williams gaved me that day. That day i wont ever forgot. The day of sunrise of my true soul and the sun set of the "past". 
John Williams has really some higher spirit. Some healing power for us all. He is our life teacher. Today i love my parents, my friends, i love the world.
 
Thank you! Thank you so much my friends

Hi everyone, 
 
i try to made little video about being thankful for John´s amazing work. Thanks to your JW.com, it has been my home page for many years  
 
 
And this is how John Williams changed my life:
______________________
 
My childhood wasn´t good and I was feeling verry lonely. There was some unreasonable agression i had to  experience from others. Also parents divorced verry badly and i had some serious depressions when i was about 12 years old.
 
It may sound oversensitive, but this is really how it was. During the day i had to live my life, but in the night, before i fell a sleep. I was listening to John Williams music and i felt like - this is my true friend. His music was my best friend in that time. That music gived me feeling that someone likes me. Without this "musical friendship" i think i might not be here anymore. 
 
I was 13 and i started to play and write music. It was my childhood dream to become composer one day like he is. I was studying music a lot, 6 years conservatory in Prague, than i got to Berklee, but as i was accepted, i realised that - the music i would love to compose, my brain simply cant do that well. 
 
Before this realization i was feeling verry sad, anxious and jelaous. Because i was studying so, so hard and so many years. I couldn't understund why- if i am studying so hard - why the God or whatever there is or isnt, why it won't allow me to do it.
 
I wrote some pieces for orchestra and one of them was this piece inspired by John´s music (this is the piece i called Autumn letter - because it was in Autumn i sent a written letter to John Williams about my story and (that my dream is to meet him one day) 
 
 
 
But once i realised that in real world of movie music everything must be completed so fast, i realised, that the time come. Time to give up on my dreams. I simply wasn´t that good, that i could work in industry. My brain was wired differently and i couldnt handle all stress and being creative under stress. I had to decide. And i left music completely.
 
For 2 years i was just "man without dream" i felt useless in the world. I didnt know what to do. But than.. a miracle happened. 
Answer for my letter came and one lovely family behind ocean helped me to make it happen. It was possible for me to meet John Williams and to talk with him personally in his room. The first thing he sayed to me with verry sweet voice and present look in his eyes was: 
 
"Ou.. ou.. you came all that long way across the ocean JUST because of me? " 
 
He looked surprised and i realised how really humble this man must be. When he invited  me to enter, he turned his hands up like there is nothing he has to hide. We talked about music and questions i had since i was young. He was so open to me.
 
Finally in the end, his friend tooked a picture of us. That foto you can see in this video - and since that time, the light came into my life. I knew this moment was really gift  for me from "universe" or whatever we call it. And i finally understud, that there exist people with so much talent that its not possible to try to be like them. Not to compete with them, but to accept it and start to enjoy everything they do as a gift to humanity. 
I came back to home and since that time i forget on being composer. I started to learn to paint with oil and its so funny. All that time, it seems i am better at Art as just a hobby, than to write music. My life is so happy now and i can really enjoy other people's art. 
 
In the end i realised every little thing was part of my life puzzle. When i was feeling so down, suicidal child, there came his music to me and it gived me „hope“.
 
And once i was strong enough and i was somehow "prepaired" to face the thruth. The thruth appeared and i accepted it. I began to be 100 procent honest with my life and give more space for others than before in my hearth.
