Some of William's most popular works are in his marches. But which is the best? I included Star Wars Main Title, because I think it is basically a march. Superman, Imperial, and 1941 were all close calls for me, but I'm going to end up going with Superman.

It's a tough pick between Superman and 1941, but I'll go with the latter. It never failed to bring a smile to my face when I was discovering Williams' music with the Greatest Hits set.

Krakozia Anthem

That wasn't written by JW, was it?

I believe it was. My vote goes to The Imperial March.

- Chris, who is surprised The Imperial March got so "few" votes.

Wikipedia says that it is based on the Albanian national anthem. But, you know, it's Wiki.

In my opinion John Williams really brought to life the original Krakhozian composition, which was, I believe, composed for a small ensemble which represented a smaller cost for the Government during official acts.

You mean like the Israeli anthem in "Munich"?

The original was probably played on traditional krakhozian instruments. We should look for a translation of the lyrics (not included in the JW's version). Does anyone here speak krakhozian?

I doubt anyone will agree with me here but "March of the Villians" is mine. Its definitely not his best march but its my favorite, there is something about it i find humorous.
