- Composer John Williams is one of America's most celebrated musical talents - the best-known creator of music for films. He has written the scores for such revered classics as "Jaws," "Star Wars," "Superman" and "Schindler's List," and is returning to the "Star Wars" universe with the upcoming "Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker." Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with Williams, and with violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, who collaborated with the composer on a new album of works for violin and orchestra adapted from his film scores, "Across the Stars."

The world is a better place because of John Williams.
Truer words have never been spoken
Movie music is more kitschy, that's for sure
Well said.
The world is a sad place since Jerry Goldsmith is gone he was much better than John Williams allways
@Osman Yousif No problem you are welcome
We must protect this man at all costs
Amen
I will, without delay, take this oath.
from?
:))))
Such a passionate person, yet not showing it directly. 🙏🏼
"Steve, you need a better composer than me for this."
"I know, but they're all dead."
Both an excellent joke and the highest compliment.
my thoughts exactly! I laughed for like 5 minutes when I heard this part! :)))
almost feels like Spielberg already knew what Williams would say and was ready for it.
Steven is another one of those few legendary men like John Williams. Extremely talented and smart, yet very pleasant, too. Add McCartney in there.
...they should work together.
And someone who's the master of them all in his field and yet, possess such sincere modesty and humiliation.
Dan humiliation or humility?
Am I the only person who thinks it is ridiculous that he :: ONLY :: has five Oscars?
Yes.
He got no Oscar for Star Wars 3 or 1.
LOL! I LITERALLY laughed a the PALTRY 5.....
Still don't get it why Phantom Menace wasn't even nominated. I know the judges scorn hollywood sci-fi action movies, but just ignore the film and listen to the isolated score. Basically consider it a brilliant 2-hour classical symphony.
@@Vuusteri Revenge Of The Sith has the best soundtrack of ANY SW film
Change my mind
Star Wars wouldn’t nearly have the impact that it did without his score.
His scores are the heart and soul of all those films, SW Raiders Superman etc etc
100% agree but his scores for me improve every film he touches. For me he is up there with the all time best composers especially in film.
@@lukewebber97 I completely agree, Williams is unrivaled in film.
Honestly though, it would have been like the old Tron movie
Pluralize "score."
John Williams wasn’t lucky to get to work on these films ....
These films were lucky to get John Williams to work on them.
Tidela 471 ...you’re absolutely right, Star Wars, Superman, ET, Close Encounters, Jaws, Schindler’s List...on and on...can you imagine those movies without John Williams...??? I can’t...
FYRFOX198 The film adaption of “Fiddler on The Roof, Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, ET, Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Harry Potter 1-3, Jurassic Park, The Lost World Jurassic Park, Earthquake, Catch Me If You Can, Lincoln, The Adventures of Tintin, Hook, War Horse, The BFG, there’s so many to name I wish I had his biography on Mr. Williams.
of course. that Jurassic Park moment they showed always gives me goosebumps, and its 90% because of the music
Without john...i shudder to think what my 40 some odd years would be like...i know it is a cliche..but his work is soundtrack of my life...imagine E.T., raiders, jaws, and harry potter without it...thank you Mr. Williams...
when John Williams passes on , Mozart and Beethoven will meet him at the gate and say " well done sir , well done !"
...and Duke Ellington and George Gershwin!
Your comment really touched me. So well said.
Meh... Not like them, but still one of the greatest film composers we've seen.
No love for Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner or even Elmer Bernstein?
And he will likely still be modest and humble, and say, "You write better music than me." lol.
Composing: 100
Humility:101
2:39 Some celebrities have to make excuses for their arrogance. John Williams might be the only celebrity alive who has to make excuses for his humility.
Him and McCartney
@@jeffgoblue true. Few people are at their level. Legends.
And Roger Federer
You said it the best👍👍👍
He is a very humble person.
A national treasure right here
International treasure.
@@lukeskywalker6809 Universal treasure. Perhaps, Multi-Universal treasure.
jeyaganesh rajamanickam
Inter-dimensional treasure
He’s a mankind treasure!
What about all those who didn't have a chance to become treasures?
John Williams is not just a great artist, but also a great human being.
We can learn from him too.
Luke Skywalker it’s not binary! You can be gifted and a decent person at the same time!
Humility at his bedt
Humility at its best
So very true!
When John Williams passes I am going to stay home for a week and do nothing but cry
vlosia you are not alone
I’m just gonna listen to his music.
I’m going to cry in my room and listen to the whole revenge of the sith soundtrack
He’s immortal
I’m absolutely dreading that day. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Our modern day Mozart and Beethoven.
True. There are no great “classical composers” today. He has taken that position for sure even if they are movie compositions
What about Hans Zimmer?
Absolutely
@Apollo Music By stealing classical music?
@Apollo Music czcams.com/video/JtRU8cMp0Nk/video.html
It is going to be a really dark day when he passes away, he is the best composer of the last century.
THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR and from this century too.
Look at you, applying concepts of "best" and "worst" to a subjective field like music. Sorry to say, but there are only "favourites".
@@Syklonus I mean, there MUST be some sort of objectiveness to critique. Otherwise there must be no difference in ability between any composer who ever lived, which is a ridiculous thing to say.
Bro the sheer number of franchises he's keeping alive... when he's gone I think cinema as we know it will more or less be too.
I think about it when I hear his music and think the exact same thing. Then I stop thinking about it because I don’t want to think about it.
What a truly remarkable talent and a lovely gentleman ❤
This man needs immortality. He needs to make music forever
John Williams has achieved immortality like a Jedi becoming one with the force. As his music will live on forever.
I don't think any human will feel blessed with true immortality. That said, a few hundred years or so of life would not be bad.
Such a humble genius! His music literally brings me to tears.
Exactly what happens to me. Tears of joy and sadness. He does that to me effortlessly since I was kid. That's why I know that I'll be devastated when he passes. I don't even want to imagine that day. May whatever ones believe protect him while I'm alive
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!!!
Like a lot of film composers, his work is heavily derivative of Holst. That doesn't mean that it's not good, of course it's fantastic, but he's definitely had help when coming up with the music.
@@Syklonus Holst, Stravinsky, Ravel, Shostakovich, Wagner, Debussy, Schubert, Dvorák, Chopin, and many many more of the pillars of composition. He pulls from all the greats and is not actually "heavily derivative". By the that logic EVERY composer is derivative.
I never clicked a CBS Morning video so fast!
Troy EZ haha I’ve never clicked it at all! But Williams is my hero and greatest inspiration.
Troy EZ So far
Troy EZ same😂
Troy EZ me too
Lol. Can't blame you.
We may not have any Mozart's, Beethoven's or Verdi's, but we do have John Williams, and I thank God I have the privilege to live in the same era as this humble, towering musical genius.
@darth geekboy so true 😄
darth geekboy We also have Hans Zimmer
@@CaptainM792
To compare Zimmer, a man who can't even read sheet music, to geniuses like Williams, Mozart, Beethoven and Verdi, is utterly absurd.
I had the opportunity to hear him conduct this own music with the San Francisco Symphony. It’s a night I will never forget.
ooooooh lucky!!
I envy you. I want to see him conducting in person ANYTHING. He's 87 ... O better hurry but I'm hoping to die first before living in a world without him
I was in high school when he came to conduct the SFS. The show was sold out before I even knew about it but I was able to find a ticket on craigslist for several hundred dollars more than face value. I spent all the money I had saved up on that ticket and I don't regret it at all. I nearly cried when I saw him walk on stage, that's how big of an impact this man's music has had on me.
Bless you John Williams :,)
MorbidManMusic Ok
Whether flying through the stars, over a building, off to Neverland, towards a dinosaur island, or on a bike across the moon, no composer has captured the imagination of generations the way Williams has
Well said! Agree wholeheartedly! It's been a HUGE part of my life!
oh brother, read what you wrote please! Those are all VISUAL IMAGES accompanied by music. When I listen to Holst "Mars" from the Planets or Fate's hand knocking in Beethoven's Fifth, my imagination is captured. There's two. "no composer" he says.
@@willisingo I agree with your point as well... But no need for the arrogance.
@@AprilJoi5 Noted, my arrogance stems from these lofty ridiculous comments that disparage 350 years of great Western music in favor of ONE film composer.
@@willisingo I'm a classically trained violist myself... so I really get it. But sadly, many are not aware of the Masters, and if they are they probably don't know much about their works. John Williams contribution to the culture is great nonetheless, especially when held against the trash that tickles the ears of this generation. Can't both be great in their own rite?
“I couldn’t get into the NFL”
This man is a living legend
even though he did compose the NFL on NBC theme
he's 88, still sharp. A Peaceful, calm lifestyle and healthy pastime keeps your mind intact.
I'm CERTAIN if he asked, they would accomodate. :)
He wrote the soundtrack to my childhood❤
Childhood? Practically my entire life.
ConcreteSurfer420 so few words that speak volumes to his accomplishments. You are so right! To think that almost everyone thought that the age of large orchestral arrangements for films was dead. Along come George Lucas and John Williams to prevent that disaster from happening!
Not just your childhood.
John WIlliams is a modern-day Mozart. A musical Genius, with a capital G-.
This man is responsible for the majority of tunes that make me think of childhood and nostalgia.
Love how they ended with "Superman", with the implication that that is exactly what Williams is, a superman.
Few people can say their work strikes so much emotion and nostalgia as this man.
He’s irreplaceable. We only get to experience this kind of genius every few centuries. We are lucky to have him in ours.
Anyone else get a little misty-eyed like me when they hear the Superman theme?
I have been a Star Wars fan since I was 5 years old and love the music but the Superman theme is by far the best he has ever composed.
No, I got goose bumps instead :)
@@johnp2426 Especially if you hear it with headphones and from the very beginning, when it starts out light and soft (when the kid is reading from the comic book) and then flies up toward the stars and the kettle drums and then...magic! Richard Donner at the last minute decided (rightfully) that they needed a little intro from the comic book to the main music and so John had to create that first part before the main theme. He is just amazing: czcams.com/video/Rk1aQx9hTaE/video.html
It also tricks you a bit by putting that tiny screen on the screen and then expands to that full Panavision wide screen when the words come towards you. One of greatest movie openings of all time.
I *always* tear when I listen the first notes of the Superman theme. It's unbelievable.
OMG...I thought. I was the only tearing up at Superman. So glad you people exist. We need to connect
The word 'Legend' gets thrown around too easy but this man is worthy of that title
The Maestro! All those movies woulda been half what they were without him
1/3
The force is truely with him. Please teach others ASAP.
Music like that has to come from the heart and soul, otherwise it loses it's essence if it is "taught" and just becomes a shallow imitation.
I am always thinking the same thing. Like, please sit down with some of todays composers and give them tips on how to write melodic scores. It's a dead art, only he can do it and a handful of others.
The thing is finding your art I guess
I really wish he take a break from relentless scoring and apprentice some students. Less when he eventually passes, the classic Hollywood soundtrack may die with him.
Exactly. A guy I knew in college studied with Jerry Goldsmith at his home.
87 years young. Here is for more Williams for years to come!
He's our Tchaikovsky.
more like Wagner
He surpasses Tchaikovsky by far. And that's coming from a Tchaikovsky fan.
offscreen 6 he doesn’t come close lol
Clearly it's subjective, so why bother arguing about it?
He stole from those composers, thats why he reminds you of them
No artist’s music has meant more to me than his. A living legend in every sense of the word.
I'm convinced we will remember Mr. Williams as one of the, if not THE greatest composer of our time. He is right up there with Strauss, Brahms and Wagner in terms of geniality! His music has meant so much to me and I wish he could continue forever writing music.
if I saw John Williams live and heard what was played at 1:37, there’d be no stopping an ugly cry from me.
Me too. . . Me too
Wow - who the one gave this a thumbs down, and WHY...... 😡
I've been fan of this man since childhood - and I'm 52...a musical genius, period.
There's only reason someone would give this a thumbs-down: Jealousy.
I'm 51 also...he's part of our life!. You know that we want him forever
Shallow fluff piece. Offers no real new insight into his life or career. Mostly about the violin girl promotion so gets the thumbs down.
@@robbynholmes9507 Incorrect, they were storm troopers...
When I listen to his music, I am speechless. When he speaks, I am speechless.
Composers are better than any other music artist
CHANGE MY MIND.
My case and point, John Williams, John Powell, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Harry Gregson-Williams, they are better than anything humanity deserves from music.
My favourite the schindler list melody it's epic
I can't listen to it without tears.
She’s great. But I still prefer Perlman’s version...
I was obsessed with the score for "E.T." as a 14 year old. I still consider it his best work.
Yeah it captures something pure and innocent in the heart, it elevates the film probably more then any other movie, without it it could not have been a masterpiece I’d say
The E.T. score is a masterpiece. For me, I think his score for Hook was amazing, too.
Everything in it is just perfection. But within that perfection "The bike chase" is the one I can listen over and over again a watch every second in my mind of that secuence without actually watch the movie...and I cry and get the goosebumps and everything. That's why I absolutely love that sweet genius of a man.
@@ajs8788 , "Over the Moon" from E.T. is beautiful.
Revenge of the Sith is the greatest music score of all time and you cant change my mind
Mr. Williams is a true National Treasure and one of the greatest composers in the last one hundred years or so.
I had the pleasure of meeting him about 15 years ago, before a concert. After a quick rehearsal with the orchestra, he allowed anyone who wanted an autograph to come up on the stage. He took the time to chat with each person and sign their program. He’s a fantastic guy, and I wish him many more years of health and happiness - and maybe, one more Indiana Jones film worthy of his score...
No way, that’s such an amazing privilege, you’re unbelievably lucky ❤
John Williams is an American treasure. My favorite John Williams piece will always be Superman.
One of the most exciting nights of my life was seeing/hearing John Williams conduct an orchestra at The Hollywood Bowl last year. Talk about goosebumps while hearing the soundtrack to modern American movies. What a gifted man!
Wow!!! How blessed you were to see and hear such a genius as Mr. Williams! I myself would leave that venue never the same again!
There are a few geniuses in this world and John Williams is definitely one of them.
I remember when John Williams composed the NBC News theme.
Did he????
Indeed he did! czcams.com/video/AqwhF6vcylg/video.html
@None the old olympic fanfare is Buglers Dream, by Leo Arnaud. He wrote the one for the 1984 Olympics in LA, which is still the main theme. Also the Olympuc Spirit, and Summon the Heroes for the Atlanta games in 1996.
The Mission By John Williams is the NBC Package
also NFL on NBC theme
Maestro Williams is my hero and unquestionably a living legend. His work is unparalleled. ‘Sea Attack Number One’ from ‘Jaws’ is cinematic perfection and is my personal favorite.
The man is an authentic genius and a cultural treasure. I hope he never dies...
It’s so easy to be moved, by so much of the incredible music John Williams has created, for so many of the greatest movies ever made. He is truly a gift.
Thank you, Sunday Morning🌞 and thank you, John Williams!🌟
I played my mother Beethoven's Missa Solenella, and she asked if it was John Williams. That means he has matched the greats. He is the person that really got me into classical music with Star Wars when I was 8, it's 20 years later and I still love his music...
(Who else hears the theme from Jurassic Park when seeing a Sauropod fossil).
Maestro Williams, all your music is important. It saved this life (mine), growing up in not so nice neighborhoods your music introduced me to the orchestra and a greater purpose in life. You sir gave that young Puerto Rican kid wings on which to fly on. Thank you for all of your work
I swear, watching John Williams compose live at the Hollywood Bowl was just phenomenal. I loved all his music ever since I was little and hearing his music live was emotional for me.
This gave me whole new insights into this man. He considers himself to be inferior to master composers who have passed before him. In future decades, I think he'll stack up pretty well against them, just in terms of day to day play time.
I am right now going through turmoil, this man makes me feel so much better, this video made me feel better.. I want to meet you mr. Williams
If you want a big lift for your spirits, search for the music "Exultate Justi" by JW and sing along to the version JW himself is conducting. You should be able to find the lyrics on the internet.
You are not alone. John Williams’ music is always great therapy for me
John Williams will never truly die as his music will live on forever. Like a Jedi becoming one with the force
John Williams is the most legendary soundtrack creator ever!
I feel so privileged and honoured to have existed at the same time as the Maestro.
They'll be talking about him 400 years from now just like we talk about Mozart and Stradivarius.
Truly the best composer of this century. He has been a great gift to this nation and this world.
I can remember listening to the double Star Wars LP like a giant symphony. Beautiful subtle, powerful composing makes his music work like an automatic scene creator in the brain. What great gifts he gives us.
*I remember my dad saying that one of the worst misfortunes is to come and go in this world without ever having affected it in a positive way and just being a useless mouth to feed. It took me forty years to understand fully what he was saying. John Williams has impacted the movie industry and therefore the world in great ways and he will go down in history as a person who made a difference. I on the other hand will not even go down in history I will just be a speck of dust in the storm. If you have the means and opportunities to make a positive change in the world and you waste those means and opportunities... that is the biggest waste of your existence.*
teary eyed
Listening superman theme give me the goose bumps. Sip Chris Reeves. John Williams u are indeed the maestro
His last name was Reeve, not Reeves. ;)
Greatest movie composer of all time, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Harry Potter, ET, Home Alone. He’s an absolute legend!
Time takes all things. It is a travesty that we will lose this man someday. It is a joy that, because of the memories, the melodies, and the talent he possesses and shared with us all, we will never lose him at all.
If this man passes away, music will never be the same
"The music you've heard a thousand times can suddenly give you goosebumps again"
I literally got goosebumps while hearing the Superman Theme!!
Long Live John Williams!
The them from Schindler's List is perfection. I just heard it on a classical station for the first time and it just moved me.
2:10
Something people don't get about musicians. I wrote one 7.5 minute piano piece technically in about 3 days, but I just kept listening to it for the next YEAR and making tweaks and changes here and there before I finally just told myself I needed to let it be. I'm still technically not satisfied with it. Hearing it reminds me of all that stress and all the things I would still change about it, it doesn't actually bring joy per se.
That was one of the most relatable things I've ever heard from someone of his status. Though I don't write music, I make videos/films for a living and I always find myself critiquing everything I do to the point where I don't even like it while most people will watch and tell me how good it was. I think that's just a curse of a creative.
@@Kyle_Evers
We are our own worst critics.
RichieNicksMusic people tell me that all the time when I say I don’t like my own work and I can’t disagree lol
"Art is never finished, only abandoned"
He looks fit & healthy! The man has contributed so much to movie goers.
‘One of the best’, ‘Epic’, ‘World class’, ‘Historic’ aren’t enough to describe John Williams. He is simply just legendary. The Albert Einstein of movie music.
A true genius talent. Made my childhood more magical then it would have been without him. Thank you very much John.
If his music doesn't give you goosebumps, you're not human.
When he conducts an orchestra, you can see he more often goes expressive. Like most conductors will flick their sticks or batons, but John Williams directs with both hands. Truly one of the best and the top movie score and music composer in our era.
I'm the farthest from being musically talented, but my dream job would be to compose music for films. One of the greatest gifts we have in the world is an orchestra. In my opinion, there is almost nothing better than putting headphones on and listening to a beautiful epic musical score.
99.99999% of it is practice and polish. Even if it's just for fun, we have software now that means any Joe Shmoe can write a symphony without formal theory, so give it a go if you've got free time. If you've been listening attentively to music you're already a good few steps ahead, and it'll give you a deeper appreciation of the craft in the stuff you enjoy.
Ever listen to such film music composers as Elmer Bernstein or Jerry Goldsmith?
@@jandreidrn No. But I like Steve Jablonsky and Brian Tyler. BUT I wrote to Sergio De la puente(Extraodinary Tales composer.HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and he actually wrote back. Epic for me. I'll have to check out the two you mentioned. Thanks
Røbbin Mølk speaking of Brian Tyler, his most recent score was for Stallone's Rambo: Last Blood. But the composer of the first three films was none other than Jerry Goldsmith. Here he is conducting the theme from Rambo: (czcams.com/video/4w9s55AbymY/video.html
Røbbin Mølk as for Elmer Bernstein this is him: czcams.com/video/ND4oiuJCCjw/video.html ...I'm sure you may have heard of this iconic music?
My favorite American composer, and one of my favorite composers ever.
who is your most favorite
Finally a reasonable comment. Keyword: "my"
Marvelous story. Marvelous man. Many of his movie scores have made the films way better than they would have been otherwise. If you watch a lot of movies, as I do, you can almost know immediately certain composers that you're listening to before being told. James Horner, Hans Zimmer and the incomparable John Williams have a sound all their own.
2legit64 also Jerry Goldsmith..
John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, Howard Shore, James Horner.. are my favourite film score composers.
m8055 I also like Michael Giacchino
Don't forget Joe Hisaishi
Don't forget luis bacalov or ennio morricone
It’s comforting to know that classical music makes John Williams feel the same way that his music makes me feel
My heart broke when he said “my late wife”. 😭
This guys music is legendary. Nobody will ever come close
He's so humble I was mildly offended.
John Williams is my favorite composer , his music means so much to me . Star Wars is one as well as the Superman theme. There are too many to name . God bless this man to live forever. The day I hear of his death will be like losing my Dad again , my Dad was a very big fan of John Williams. I love your compositions Mr Williams.
The Mozart of our times.
This is the guy who wrote all the music for Star wars, ET, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Harry Potter, Superman, the Olympics theme, Indiana Jones. If there is one composer in my lifetime I can say is absolutely jaw-dropping this is the guy. Yes we need to protect him at all costs he has contributed so much to humanity and our happiness
Williams seems very sharp for someone who is going on 90. The world will weep when he passes away. Music really does run in the family. When I found out the lead singer of Toto (Joseph) was/is his son. I was gobsmacked.
If any of you like that soft rock stuff, check out the Joseph Williams' 1982 self titled debut solo album. His voice is incredible, sounds like a mixture of George Michael and Kenny Loggins.
"We really need a better composer than I am for this film"
"I know, but they're all dead"
Couldn't agree more! I love John Williams so much; a true genius.
Watching Sunday Night Football right now on NBC. Every time I watch the show, I notice and enjoy the John Williams themes throughout the game. It is but one small example of this man's genius. Who else living today has the creative powers to define and capture the essence of things with music, that words and pictures alone could never match in descriptive power? Great music has the power to capture our emotions like nothing else. Hence the goosebumps.
John Williams’ music captures the spirit of the films for which he has composed perfectly, for example Schlinder’s List which perfectly reflects the tragedy of the film and the somber and melancholy and grim atmosphere. Well done for composing so many wonderful film scores, I hope you can do some more!
You composed the music of my life. Thank You Maestro! ❤️
As you listen to his music, you can see the movie in your mind.
This man together with Steven Spielberg created Jurassic Park and Schindler's List in same year... Let that sink in. I cry everytime i hear any piece he has created. No other composer in their life can create so many iconic themes like Maestro John Williams has created ever. Period.
Who and why has anyone give a thumbs down to this video? This man is a true treasure and we are lucky to be alive during his time.
Classical music elitists who think Williams is a plagiarists.
Yea E.T is cool , but the score on Close Encounters was absolutely godly
Ben Cart Wright Agree.
Hes nailed it many times.
I’m literally crying because of all the greatest scores created by this legendary composer. Thank you so much Mr. John Williams.
He's 87. I'm already dreading a World without him. May he be the only person that lives forever. (I know he will... through his music) We're privileged by him still walking amongst us.
Bless you John, thank you for the music.
Looking forward to what John Williams does with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
SpaceBear if rumors are true he’s bringing back music from all 8 other films
Gonna be the only good part of that movie probably
I'll certainly check out Williams' score but will probably skip what promises to be a garbage film.
Thats the only thing I'm looking forward to with the Rise of Skywalker
@@harrysgirl101 Not even that will be good because the filmmakers of the ST are not putting as much of a focus on the music as Lucas did in the first six movies. In the first six movies the music was actually used to tell the story, in the ST it just feels tacked on.
