The man was 45-years-old when he scored the very first Star Wars film. At an age when people often think that their prime is long gone, he was just warming up.
#Believe :) #BTA1481 Veljko
That's the joy that comes from a childlike fascination. John Williams is a boy at heart. He and Spielberg have that in common!
But he composed the main title to Lost in Space twelve years earlier. He was just warming up.
Great observation.
But Grandma Moses had him beat. 😉😎
he is so humble ...
He really is! Thank you for watching. #BelieveNation #BTA646 Luka
Yes he is! Very!
Rule 1 is be John Williams

"Sylence & Cyber - Each Other"
Even Mozart would love John Williams music
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. #BTA688 Shine
he sure will!
I'm sure, from the Great Beyond, Mozart is giggling, delighted that someone in a later century has discovered the joy in music that he had, written for the new medium of motion pictures and television.
John Williams completes Spielberg movies. Sure, Spielberg is a great director, no doubt about that. But his films will never have the kind of spectacles without John Williams. Just a fantastic composer.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Derek. :) #BelieveNation #BTA433 Shine
+tanio12 And Chris Columbus.
Derek Uhm
he admits that himself
Pure truth.
Spielberg's a superb visualist, coaxes compelling performances out of actors, is great with camera movement and editing tempo. This makes his films a natural for Williams' music. The images cut together in a fluid, flowing way already have a lift and a rythm. It's a matter of filling in the right notes. Williams is the note God.
Not only the best composer but one of the most genuinely humble men to grace cinema :)
#Believe :) #BTA1471 Veljko
John barry is the greatest film composer of all time followed by Ennio Morricone.
I will never forget my first experience with John Williams genius, I left the theatre after Jaws needing a large glass of brandy lol. I made sure never to miss one of his movies ever again.
👏 Thank you for sharing. #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
always get a kick when John sort of downplays the Superman movie as something that's tongue in cheek, and not taking itself too seriously - and yet from the opening moment we see the Planet Krypton, John blows us away with music of such profound majesty and sublime beauty that we know we are entering a world of music and film making that is truly extraordinary
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching Val. :) #BelieveNation #BTA443 Shine
So true!
A living legend

John Williams is a modern day master at what he does. I love the fact that he's also a straight up humble, generous man. You don't often get both.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching Fixed Error. :) #Believe #BTA475 Shine
It's awesome that Spielberg so deeply understands the purpose of John's art! Great to see masters of different art forms understanding each other on such a deep level and collaborating.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Abhik. :) #Believe #BTA486 Shine
I am certain that when this genius ascends to Heaven all Earth will cry, missing him. He stands besides with all the great classical masters.
Let's hope he stays a little more with us.

Writing music for film is truly an outer worldly experience for both composers and film makers. I studied the former and then the latter and the 'wow' factor when both picture and music sync up is better than any orgasm.
Thank you for sharing, awesome. 👏 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
I'll take the orgasm.😚
John Williams is by far the best at pairing music with visuals. Excited to learn from such a master at such a complicated career! Thanks Evan your videos are getting better and better!

Bro. Any list of composers is incomplete without Morricone
John Williams is a legendary master. I think I love all of his scores. My personal faves are Jurassic Park, Seven Years in Tibet, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Minority Report, Jaws, War of the Worlds, Munich, Schindler's List, Home Alone 1-2, The Accidental Tourist, The Sugarland Express,The Fury and Earthquake
Wow! That's a long list! Thanks for sharing your thoughts irina1296. :) #BTA461 Shine
I LOVE Movies and Music. I was so moved as I watched this that I couldn't help but weep--tears literally ran down my left cheek. This is JUST SO BEAUTIFUL and so INSPIRING. Thank you so, so much for profiling John Williams.

NOT!!
What a beautiful spirit this is why this man can create such incredible art timeless egoless and truthful A TRUE GRAND MASTER 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for watching, Darren! He's brilliant :) #BTA1166 Luka
I noticed that he is almost always trying to explain that there's no magic in it, just long hard work, redoing things, adjusting them gradually, over & over, until it get's close enough to offer it to the producer, then he says it's still never perfect, and you always think you can do better.
Most good artists respond this way when they get the 'awe and wonder' or "how do you do it" from an interviewer, because it's really an attempt to say "it must be so easy for YOU" as if to excuse everyone who doesn't want to work long hours at something with no assurance that anything will come of it. Most people cannot fathom risking sitting by a blank canvas until they work out something they never could have just imagined right off the bat.
JW is always trying to say "I can't do magic either: that's why I have to spend so much time fussing with it, throwing away 1 idea after another, until something seems to maybe have potential, then I explore that idea, keep changing parts of it, sometimes going back & forth between 2 things I can't decide on....there's no magic, only what comes after long struggle and experimentation. Have you ever actually tried this process of wrestling with possibilities that don't look like anything good yet? And staying with it until something starts to seem viable?"
He also noted how simple so many of the main themes are, and yet how much adjustment and fumbling went into them. But no matter how many times he tries to lay it out as something that anyone with a willingness to spend the time at it, can do, the audience still prefers to walk away with their canned "awe & wonder" response, and preserve their "only special artistic people can do it" philosophy, so they'll never have to consider their own potential.
This is wonderful. Thank you so much for this great montage of video clips about John Williams and Steven Spielberg.
You're welcome, glad you liked it. 😊 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
5. Find the joy in life
9. Nurture great friendships
With these two I am struggling with since the 90"s
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope you'll be able overcome any challenges. All the best! Always #Believe in yourself. #BTA468 Shine
What I find so interesting about these videos is that you often see a connection among great artists. The way John Williams and Hans Zimmer score a father-son/daughter relationship, for example, is premised on the same criterion (intimacy within a broader framework), but their respective concepts of intimacy are so, so different, yet equally moving. This to me demonstrates the universal nature of music, whereby different styles can convey the same concept in light of our shared humanity. I really enjoy these videos, thank you.
Thanks for sharing :) #BTA802 Luka
Well said.
There is NOBODY like John Williams! Yes its movie soundtracks but he belongs besides the greats of all time, Bach, Beethoven, etc. Wow. I still get moved even to tears from these musical masterpieces. True Genius. That word is reserved for people like for this guy. Spielberg is right, none of his films would be nearly as powerful without the magic of Johnny Williams. We are so blessed by this man's contribution to the world. Its stuff like this that makes life worth living.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching. 🥰 #Believe - Feb
JW was able to take other great composers ideas and manipulate them to compose his films. Gustav Holst, Sergei Prokofiev, Jean Sibelius and others did it first!
"Maybe we shouldn't shoot for the stars. Maybe we should find joy in every simple task we're given." rang true with me. I thought I'd be the next Steven Spielberg, until I was given the chance to direct short scenes of children performing at a local arts academy level, and I found it a bit overwhelming. The kids were great, willing to learn, but they were not professional actors, and I was handed a script on the day, told to "go get 'em", went right into filming with no rehearsal time or time for me to grasp what the material was about, had to have the scene shot in 3-4 hours when the kids' parents would pick them up. Now I'm finding pleasure and enjoying some financial success in shooting and submitting video clips to agencies like Shutterstock and Pond 5. I can work at my own leisurely pace and capture whatever I want, how I want. I'm delighted when a clip sells.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. #Believe - Feb
I saw John in concert and I yelled out 'JOOOhHHHNNN!' and he shushed me. I love him dearly.
Thank you for sharing with us and thanks for watching. That's awesome! :) #BelieveNation #BTA591 Luka
definitely nurturing friendships is a valuble lesson... thank you for sharing
Nice advice notes and a good resumen from maestro John Williams! Thank you!!
Film makers were blessed to work with John. Without him the whole movie business would not be so beautifull.
#Believe :) #BTA1506 Veljko
Finally, a proper composer!
Thanks for watching. #BTA437 Shine
Talal they clearly think Hans Zimmer isn't good enough
@@Richard_Nickerson I don't really like Hans Zimmer and his braams and all the pretentious new age orchestral music
Fuck Hans Zimmer. 'Braaaams', such nonsense.
My favorites?
5. Find the joy in life
6. Enjoy every task you do
This is the key for me in life. The joy of the journey. Don't be happy 'when', be happy 'while'!!
Thank you for sharing that with us. 🥰 #Believe - Feb (from Evan’s team)

First of all thanks for putting this together. A well thought out video. John Williams is very articulate exudes supreme confidence and is yet very humble. I enjoyed his interaction with Spielberg who also has a great musical ear. I liked how they take cues from each other

Glad that you liked it, Jorge! Thank you for watching and welcome aboard! :) #BelieveNation #BTA471 Luka
Interesting to get to hear about the life and experiences of a composer. I think that when we think of musicians today, what immediately springs to mind is the image of young people playing in bands. We often forget about musicians who've had to struggle over years to reach their pinnacle of success, because that's what their work requires them to. It's really nice to get to hear of people who persevered over time to achieve their success (not saying that the young folks in bands didn't work hard!).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Vinay. :) #Believe #BTA468 Shine
The Superman theme will always be my Favorite John Williams theme.
Indeed, that was an amazing idea. 😊 #Believe - Feb
Same Here!
I remember when I turned seven years old and I went to see Star Wars in the theaters. I was in awe of the power of music’s ability to amplify the storytelling of a movie. His music has been in my favorites category for a LONG time. As a professional Bass Trombonist, Teacher and Composer, I would really like to meet him and pick his brain.
That sounds like an amazing experience! John Williams' music truly has a remarkable impact. Meeting him would be a fantastic opportunity to learn from a master. 😊 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
Wondeful! I came upon this by happy accident. As a lifelong fan of film music, I greatly appreciate what you've done here. THANK YOU!
Your appreciation for film music means a lot-thank you for your kind words! 🥰 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
This is the pinnacle of bromance

So lucky to be alive at the same time as what it could most likely be the greatest composer of the golden Hollywood era. John Williams is the last samurai.
Absolutely! John Williams is a true legend! 🎵😊 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
Evan - Thank you so much for such a fantastic video. You have really captured the essence of music in film and how it affects the end product.

When 6 year old kis in New Zealand want me to teach them to play Hedwigs Theme, Superman Theme and Star Wars Theme on guitar, John Williams gets my attention. As far as generations of filmgoers are concerned, John Williams is the composer, orchestrator and conductor of this century. Thank you for the great video Evan. This is the first of yours I have seen. And far from the last.
22:53
Interesting thing about that (humming the Indiana Jones Theme) a very simple little sequence of notes, 23:01 but I spend more time on those little bits of musical grammar, to get them just right 23:08 so that they seem inevitable, seem like they've always been there, they're so simple, and 23:12
I don't know how many permutations I will go through with six-note motif like that, one note down, one note up and 23:18 spend a lot of time on these little simplicities, which are often the hardest things to capture, I think for anybody.
What do I like about this quote? The insight into the time he spends on motifs, melodic contour permutations and little simplicities. Genius.
So cool to know about you teaching those 6 year old kids guitar Taura and that John Williams music got your attention. :) Welcome to the channel and to #BelieveNation. I hope you will find videos here that will be helpful to you. #BTA440 Shine

He's absolutely right that there is no "eureka!" moment. There's one piano sonata I wrote in college that got one or two notes tweaked every time I listened to it for 2+ years after I had "finished" it. I've also heard composers such as Williams and Zimmer say that some of their disappointments have been the director's favorites; or people like Jay Z and Eminem who have said they're still disappointed in some of their most famous works. Music touches all of us in different ways.
Thank you for sharing with us :) #Believe #BTA946 Luka

Thank you so much! This was awesome. Now I have to go practice...🥰!!!
Practice, practice, practice :) #BTA1345 Veljko
What's the word for knowing but yet not knowing? Music in movies always evokes an avalanche of emotions which in turn makes them so memorable indeed. Turning this into a comparison pertaining to personal development if we can all strive to be the maestro in our own lives and just maybe... generate the happiness and prosperity equating to the wonders of the perfect orchestra of life! Keep up the great work Evan and team.
Thank you for sharing with us, Peter! Also thank you for the huge support, much appreciated. :) #BelieveNation #BTA432 Luka

Great to know you found it insightful Sharif. :) #BTA435 Shine
A wonderful compilation, and a great deal of fun. Thank you!
Irrespective of creative genius, Hollywood star quality, or Whatever- I personally feel Steven Spielberg one of the most charismatic individuals I have now been seeing on CZcams videos. My first exposure to this was watching Watch the Skies! -a hour long documentary on 1950s movie Sci-fi. His descriptions of filling the bathtubs with water as a young person during The Cuban Missile Crisis while his parents went to a party was especially endearing.
Spielberg's comments of Jaws owing a great deal to Maestro Williams' score for the success of the movie I definitely agree with. I am reminded of an interview with Bela Lugosi, Jr. in which he describes going to movies as a kid with friends. They would get uncomfortable while watching Bela's scary films, but to his son "I wasn't scared at All- it was my father up there on the screen."
I thought of that during my research of when Jaws first came to the theaters in the mid-1970s, once the movie theater audience would hear that shark theme, frequently there would be people who would get up and leave. It was just too darn SCARY!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it. 😊 #Believe - Feb
Awesome!
😊❤️ #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
Incredible. Thank you for creating this. All very valuable key points. Film is at the mercy of music. Always. It's interesting to hear about him talking about the combination of sound and image forming a memory. As in Jaws.
Thank you for sharing with us and thanks for watching. He's truly a legend! :) #BelieveNation #BTA443 Luka
Absolutely brilliant. Life lessons to live btjankd for you efforts

I am glad that my channel helped you to produce that great video about John Williams. That is a great guide to any discipline.
You are amazing #Believe :) #BTA1595 Veljko
'To be smart, you only have to be smarter than the rest'
I've always loved Mr. Williams's scores. From Superman and Jaws to all of the Star Wars films and beyond. I also think" Born on the 4th of July" should have been included in the top ten list of his film scores. Schindler's List was by far the most touching. At 88 years young, I believe he still has some mileage left. God bless you, sir!
Glad you're feeling inspired! Thanks for watching! 💛😊 #BELIEVE - Ahmed
My favorite is 6 "Enjoy every task you do" - the combination of "work hard every day" and "find joy in life and in everything you do" is a great inspiration!
Glad you're feeling inspired :) #BTA911 Luka
I got into John Williams since the age of 7. In my older age as a guitarist/composer i try to add some influences that don't regard rock music for a different recipe.
Thanks for sharing Bill. :) #Believe #BTA457 Shine

Thanks for watching! 😊 #Believe - Feb
@@EvanCarmichael I watch this every day:)
I love his attitude of enjoying the myriad small tasks that make up big tasks (or that make up a life!) and I also love that he says, "Life is a gift." Thanks for making this; John Williams is my hero, and I think he's one of the people America can be most proud of.
You're welcome Elizabeth. Much love. 💛😊 #Believe - Dondon
