The music is the best part of most of the Star Wars movies.

His ongoing spirit and talent will leave us with a precious musical legacy.

The word “turgid” comes to mind.

Williams is a good composer.
Morricone is better for me, more reflective of the American experience

If John Williams had been born in the early 1700’s he would have been on the stage with Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, and all those whose name I cannot properly spell.
Musical “elitests” will name him “only” as a movie composer.
I’d like the opportunity to set spellbound, listening to a three hour concert beginning with the 1977 opening theme and segueing into each of the following themes, in order, that tell the entire saga. Maybe more than three hours.

My favorite part are the lyrics he wrote to the Darth Vader Theme.

If anyone says a work is “Wagnerian” I think of the word, “turgid” also.

The brass section will be glad when it’s over. :) Went to see the London Philharmonic during the ‘Star Wars Live’ tour and saw several lips blown out by the end of it. Stellar performance, tho. Williams does love his brass.

I love The Lark Ascending. It always reminds me a bit of Chinese music, somehow.
