Thank you! Much appreciated. This was a beautiful medley and no need for complaints or negativity. And thank you for uploading the video. I have watched it like 5 times, so far :)
The most epic thing about this is how much of this music he originally wrote, how deserving he is to include his own music, and how modest he is not to include some of his works that absolutely could have been included.
Actually there was only one Oscar-winning score he didn't take from, and that was Schindler's List. His other original score Oscars (Jaws, Star Wars, E.T.) are all included. His fifth Oscar came from an adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof as I recall, but I don't believe that was an original score Oscar.
Because you realize how much is missing: Superman, Schindler's list, Hedwig's Theme, the Imperial March, the Olympic Fanfare, Indiana Jones and that's just what I can think of quickly.

As a retired studio singer blessed with a busy 60 year career I am so honored to say I was present on recording sessions of several of John’s scores. One of them was Close Encounters. I mentioned to him how much I loved Star Wars and he replied that it was a lot of hard work. Thank you, John, for ALL your hard work over your extraordinary career which has blessed the lives of millions of movie goers around the world. What a legacy! And happy belated 90th!

@@richardque4952 You can certainly make a strong case for him. Whenever people say that there's no American "classical" music I just point them to the movies, and Korngold is at the top of the list.
@@bobbell1922 Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein, Ives, Cage, etc... I am not from USA and I don't live there, but sure they need a better educational system, US also has a very fluid culture. And also, Korngold was austrian, He lived the late romanticism in Music, remember that the first Hollywood composers were inmigrated from Europe.
Many of the greats came over after fleeing Nazism. Korngold also wrote “serious” classical music for piano and orchestra but the movie studios paid most of the bills. Max Steiner was 9 years older than EWK and came to New York in 1914 working first on Broadway. Considered the father of film music he was also from Austria. His godfather was Richard Strauss and as a young man had private tutoring from Gustav Mahler. The “old timers” were a transition from the European classical tradition to American popular music for movies.

John was my gateway drug into film compositions. I remember the exact day I discovered he composed most of my favorite soundtracks and that's when I fell in love with movie scores. I'm 25 and I was like 10 or 11 when I discovered it. I have no experience in an orchestra other then playing a recorder in 4th grade but listening to his music and watching him talk about it definitely has taught me alot about it

I love how clever the transitions are. e.g. the serious, tragic themes from Spellbound and Titanic are followed up by Jaws and Psycho for comic relief.
Williams has very good taste! Which is why I love his music so very much - he's my top favorite composer of all time. Why? He's the only composer at his level (the top) which is still alive and totally willing to teach. I'm not a musician, but having been born by a musician I know that music is a fundamental to life.

I heard my first Williams film score in 1969 (while watching The Reivers); over the years since I have become convinced one can never overrate the time spent in a theater listening to great movie themes composed for the films one is watching.
@@Martyprod2 I think he did another one later right? I could be wrong but I know he has done quite a bit musically for the movie world outside of film.
@@G-0 I'm not aware that he conducted an another academy award ceremony except the one in 2002. But as a conductor, and composer, outside of film, he did a lot, yes. conducting (before Covid :( ) each year, at the hollywood bowl, from 1984 to 1991 or 92 he was the main conductor of the boston pops / symphony orchestra , he just conducted last year (bluray release in august) the vienna Symphony orchestra in Vienna, with Anne Sophie Mutter (Violin), etc etc...
Where are Franz Waxman, Dimitri Tiomkin, Alex North, George Delerue, Victor Young, etc? But I agree, for the length of time they had, they managed to squeeze a lot of great composers and film music in.
Miklos Rozca was a mentor and friend to John Williams and the composers of the monumental Ben Hur and other seminal works... I imagine it must have been heart breaking not to be able to squeeze a few bars in of his while including no fewer than four of his own soundtracks in.
I am sure that MANY of them will go down as some histories greatest composers; espeically John Williams. God bless them all for the joy and tears they gave us over the years!
John Williams is the king of modern composers! This is truly epic. Probably the best medley ever written. The transitions flow like a river. The most notable and very smooth are: Casabalanca to Citizen Kane; Newman Fanfare to Star Wars, Psycho to Jaws, Out of Africa to Dr. Zhivago, Patton to Rocky, Cinema Paradiso to The Godfather, The Godfather to ET then Gone With The Wind.
2002! Look at his huge arm movements and lively conducting! He's really slowed down and is just enjoying music and the moments now and that's so nice to witness. Anyway, what a gorgeous set of pieces, several of which he has composed, previously made award winning recordings of, and very much enjoys. That Godfather to ET transition was so smooth!
As of 2020, the only surviving composers that are part of this medley are Bill Conti Andrea Morricone Randy Newman and of course, John Williams. When this was originally performed (2002), the composers still alive at that time were: Malcolm Arnold Bill Conti John Barry Elmer Bernstein Jerry Goldsmith James Horner Maurice Jarre Andrea Morricone Ennio Morricone Randy Newman and John Williams.

I love it when John Williams grins during the Jaws segment, that also got the biggest applause. That soundtrack made him a music legend. Here his arrangement of Patton and the Magnificent Seven are equally great.
...now the most nominated musical individual in Oscar history; surpassed by onlyWalt Disney in total nominations; the only Oscar nominee to have seven decades of nominated work; bravo, John!
I think you need to re-check your statement. My sources say that Walt Disney had 59 nominations and 22 WINS. John (and I am NOT denegrating this incredible genius) has 52 nominations and 5 wins.
Que coisa mais espetacular! Iniciando com Casablanca, passando por Tubarão, Exodus, Dr.Jivago, Cinema Paradiso, E.T. e tantos outros. Maravilha! Amei!!

Hello
I Loved John Williams at the Boston Symphony
Excellent medley!!
The Maestro, absolutely exquisite.
Saw in person many years ago,
ONLY ONE JOHN WILLIAMS....🕊🇺🇲💕
Salute to Mr John Williams for conducting these movie themes by the most amazing composers of the original soundtracks. ❤❤❤❤
This is brilliant!
What a talent and musical genius.
Never forgotten. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello
John Williams as a conductor and composer is a genius and a legend. His music is globally accepted. Wow.
Muito bonito, nos leva a um passado maravilhoso. Belo arranjos.
Turn off the light and close your eyes and listen to the music . It is magic . Scenes of those memorable movies come slowly and soothing to your mind.
...now the most nominated musical individual in Oscar history; surpassed by onlyWalt Disney in total nominations; the only Oscar nominee to have seven decades of nominated work; bravo, John!
I think you need to re-check your statement.
My sources say that Walt Disney had 59 nominations and 22 WINS.
John (and I am NOT denegrating this incredible genius) has 52 nominations and 5 wins.
...I stand corrected.
It’s amazing that he made theme songs for Lost in Space and Voyage to the bottom of sea in the 60’s as Johnny Williams! Wow!
Música é alma ! A capacidade de resgatar emoções tão diferentes nestes 5 minutos do vídeo nos prova isso . Amei 💝
Muito Lindo Mesmo 👏👏👏 Eleva Nossas Almas,E Nos Traz Saudades De Filmes Que Marcaram Nossas Vidas!!!🙏🙏🙏...
Maravilhoso,Encantador, Parabéns Pra Esta Linda Orquestra!!!👏👏👏...
Maravilhoso 👏👏.
John Williams and the Boston Pops. Great tribute arrangement. Joyful memories, a few scary moments, but above all, great music
Hello
Deslumbrante! Aplausos em pé!!! Gratidão, Maestro Compositor John Williams!
1:42 the transition from spell bound to titanic gets me everytime
I'm glad he did include his OWN works in there. He's easily one of the top two or three composers in the history of film.
Hello
Thank you very very much Mr. John Williams. You are a legend
GRACIAS John Williams💗
His composition of Star Wars and the different themes for each character is just amazing.
Que coisa mais espetacular! Iniciando com Casablanca, passando por Tubarão, Exodus, Dr.Jivago, Cinema Paradiso, E.T. e tantos outros. Maravilha! Amei!!
Muito bom.do passado mas sempre no presente e futuro
'Hinghinghinghinghinghing'.... 'Dududududududu'. The most simple and iconic tones next to each other. Thanks John :D
00:57 RIP to the great, and how amazing was that transition to Star Wars' Main theme.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am Ramos originally from Spain. But was born and raised in Sacramento, CA..
I am going to a concert of John Williams music next month, so looking forward to it.
conducted by Williams himself or someone else ?
That man is a genius. And such a gentleman in how how "conducts" himself. We're a better world and a better people because of the art and music of John Williams.
Thank u ,I came cross this by accident! Now I'm spellbound
The master at work . Seeing him gain in NY in April
MASTERPIECE
PURE ART
AWESOME
BRAVO AND BRAVISIMO
PERFECT
I believe one of these stands alone as the greatest. There is nothing like it. And that is Patton--a sublime work of art.
Great music makes a great film even greater !
Epic.
One of the best composers alive.
He did DJ-ing with orchestra. Magnificent
Perfeito, que bom que ainda podemos usufruir dessa maravilha. Não há quem não goste.
Happy Birthday, John Williams! 91 years young and still providing us with the most memorable cinematic music. We are truly blessed to live in the same age as this musical genius :)
Absolutely love how he's rolled the themes together. And bonus points for a short speech! 😉
Hello
Best of John Williams at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, superb, Conductor Lee Reynolds superb.
Tive o previlegio de assistir este concerto em Boston com Paul e Maryanne que me levaram👏👏👏😍
A glorious mishmash of excellent music jammed together brilliantly thanks for sharing!
