________________________________________________________________

In 1975 John Williams won the Oscar for Jaws, in 1977 for Star Wars and everyone expected him to win in 1978 for Superman, but it wasn’t like that. He wouldn’t win it again until ’82 with ET and he still got one more in ’93 with Schindler’s List. Williams is a living legend: he just turned 90 years old and the unmistakable sound of his music continues to accompany us when we vibrate with the adventures of Indiana Jones, when we escape from Jurassic Park, when we are enchanted by Harry Potter or when we do not give up searching Private Ryan. All these characters are indebted to John Williams, the author of the best film music of the last 50 years.

Close your eyes and may the force be with you!
