So basically John Williams was tasked with writing a song that is both haunting, scary, mystical, historical, evokes danger, the military and something amazing about to happen and he creates this. Beautiful piece of work.
This is such an incredible piece. The climax is just so powerful, you can actually feel God's presence. It is creepy, inspiring, unfathomable and out of this world all in one. It gives me the chills every time i listen to it.
"It was an All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and self - not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence's whole unbounded sweep - the last, utter sweep which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike. It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH, and which has been a deity under other names; that which the crustaceans of Yuggoth worship as the Beyond-One, and which the vaporous brains of the spiral nebulae know by an untranslatable Sign..." "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."
+Max Stirner that is your opinion and very few people would agree with you. Listen to Empire Strikes Back, then Saving Private Ryan, then The Phantom Menace soundtracks in succession and there's a pretty huge diversity in sound.
+Daniel Wright I wouldn't touch that plate. Not for any supernatural reasons, but hearing about Caligula makes me wonder if any ancient STDs that are yet to be discovered are on his stuff.
Danny Elfman released a newly recorded version of Williams' Indiana Jones music entitled "The Indiana Jones Trilogy" on January 21, 2003. It features various cues from the first three Indiana Jones films, with seven from Raiders. However, although they use the original manuscripts, this is a re-recording performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
This is so good. The mixture of biblical themes with the Wagnerian Germanic overtones at 0:36 it sends shivers up my spine. Its like pulp, and Lovecraft and all the horror of the Old Testament, condensed into a single piece of music. Williams has always been gifted, but this has to be the very pinnacle of his powers! God herself must listen to this in awe
Celtic and Penobscot all I said was why???? I didn’t say anything mean all I asked was why, I think you read someone else’s comment and thought it was me..
I woke up from a very vivid dream the other day with this playing loudly in my head. I’ve lost all memory of the dream, but I remember it was intense. I haven’t watched the films or listened to the soundtracks for years, and for some reason I had this stuck in my head... so odd.
I used to work running a light show in this cave in the southern part of Missouri and this was what I was paid to play as guests slowly entered the main chamber. That was the most fun part of the job besides spending 75% of my time playing Candy Crush on my phone.
List of John Williams’ iconic scores: Fidler on the Roof, Jaws, all Star Wars movies, ET, Indiana Jones trilogy, Jurassic Park 1 and 2, Schindler’s List; those are the most iconic, literally household scores and sounds! Thats just to name a few, he did Home Alone, Hook, Close Encounters, Saving Private Ryan, The Patriot, Lincoln, all Harry Pooter movies, and many more! The man is a musical genius!
This is the first warning shot fired by the Ark, but no one cares. Even Indy realizes the enormity of the situation only at the very end - when the Ark, fed up, takes the situation into her hands...
Bit by bit, this is the soundtrack to me getting up in the morning. The ending is finally looking at the face and figure in my bedroom mirror, thinking, 'here goes another day"...
Me too man. The nostalgia is killing me. This brings happiness to my ears. It brings back my childhood memories. Even though I was born in the early 90s
joe man Oh, & one more thing, I'm sorry if you have so many problems at home that you take out your rage on ethnic groups & innocent minorities in the internet, where you don't have to actually talk to the person's face, which makes you feel so much braver. Consider your ass blocked.
On August 21, 2017, I was thinking of 2:44- 3:01 as the moon was almost in front of the sun. But then when it was totally in front of it, all I could think of was silence.
I have a cool thing to share: for my schools marching band, our composer almost copied 1 for 1 this song to give it an eerie feeling, because our song is also prehistoric themed.
If ISIS find the ark, God's fury will wipe them from this planet just as he did to Belloq and the Nazi party. ISIS be careful with the religious artifacts you find, no one can save you from the wrath of god. Indy knew this, he even knew it in last crusade with the grail. Man I love this franchise and everything about it.
I always think of this song when I'm reading H.P. Lovecraft and some character has their first, slow-burn exposure to some dangerous, eldritch "Mythos" artifact.
Incredible composer, a legend in his own lifetime! The music score has the weight and power of God within it.. You can feel it! Oh...I'm the 33,333rd person to view/listen to this upload. :)
This track is among the many for which Williams owes a great debt to classical and romantic composers across the map. The main content is taken from Edward MacDowell's Dirge from his Indian Suite. It's the exact same intervallic and rhythmic pattern, which MacDowell in turn took from Theodore Baker's thesis on the music of Native Americans in 1888. (Disclaimer: I do not condemn Williams for his recycling of material. It's just not quite as classy as originality.) #real #no sleep #working on final paper on exactly this topic for Romantic music course
Maybe in art. But the complexity of real nature is greater, incomprehensibly greater, especially at the extremes of gigantism (universe) and smallness (interior of the atom). Nature goes far beyond human imagination, but the answers given by science, only by science, are not satisfactory to religious idiots, 'cause the function of science is not comfort but knowledge, even if reality is not friendly.
"What's this one?"
"The Ark of the Covenant.."
"Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure.."
Is it actually included in any version of The Last Crusade OST or just in the movie?
Lol
Yup I loved that part
My amigo.
Tommi Korpisaukko it’s every version

dtpc191991 listen to canyon of the crescent moon and skip to 2:05. It literally is the signal of gods presence.
Marion, don't look at it. Shut your eyes, Marion. Don't look at it, no matter what happens!
i know, what a good part of da movie, we get to see those creeps die, by the power of god.
i have watched the movie about 30 times as a kid , it tooks me about 33 times to understand Marion
Digitalis Indy I’m pregnant, ok maybe a peek
@@zeeboss7553 lmao
Sleep paralysis??
I often hear this music play in my head when I have crossed a "No Trespassing" sign. Ha ha.
It played in my head when I dreamed of half life 3 being released
gutz1981あ
Me too. Or when I read very ancient book.
gutz1981 every time I read a bible in church because it’s boring listening to the priest
Everything from 2:06 to 3:15 is arguably the greatest music John Williams has ever produced.
Dr Jones, you and I are simply passing through history. The Ark? The Ark *is* history.
This is film music quality you just dont hear in any modern movie. Pure excellence! Shivers!
John Williams' music in a nutshell. He's so far ahead of most other film composers.
+Nίκος Σκαλκώτας so far ahead of composers in general. musical genius
ButtrapedByBigfoot
All of his scores sound the same.
+Max Stirner that is your opinion and very few people would agree with you. Listen to Empire Strikes Back, then Saving Private Ryan, then The Phantom Menace soundtracks in succession and there's a pretty huge diversity in sound.
RonTaboga hans zimmer is great too
I was at an archeological dig and found a plate belonging to the emperor Caligula. This was playing in my head at the time.
+Daniel Wright I wouldn't touch that plate. Not for any supernatural reasons, but hearing about Caligula makes me wonder if any ancient STDs that are yet to be discovered are on his stuff.
-- your themesong as well. Cool.
@@Shanethefilmmaker well to quote that show Courage the Cowardly Dog, "return the slab....return the slab..."
@@ITSAHARDNUGLIFE what's your offer?
That sounds like a great idea for a book.
If you ever doubt the talents of Mr. Williams, remember this song. He's literally wrote a piece of music that embodies the power of God.
39 people are digging in the wrong place..
now there are 62 people digging in the wrong place
I agree, there is something so special, so righteous about this music....
It's ominous.
If you don't start getting chills at 2:30 than you have no soul.
100%
I start getting them at 2:20
How much you want to bet this was playing when they unearthed those copies of the ET video game in New Mexico?
+MeneerTiki Who?
Who??
I was joining in on your line!! The Ark is a source of unspeakable power and it must be researched.. Ha! Top men...
"I got a picture of it right here...look"
"My god..."
"mmm..yesss, that's just what the hebrews thought"
How much you wanna bet this is the song playing when valve finally releases half-life 3.
Such an amazing piece. JW might be the greatest film composer of all time and here he is at the absolute top of his game.

The ultimate music to find artifacts too...
Atmospheric and very impressive music ideal for the best fantasy adventure movie of all time!

>God herself
Please 😂
"Herself"? Pathetic!
But I like that you referred to Lovecraft.
Always makes me shiver this bit. Beautifully full of mystery and foreboding
When I'm reading the Bible.
i know, i love reading the Bible.
HAHAHAHAHA! GREAT!
Darth Luke in church because I’m too bored listen to the priest
If it was even half as exciting or true everyone would be a christian.
In reality it is a "gimme your money" scheme.
Lol, true (it's medieval btw)
i alwyas love this beautiful eerie ,misterious and haunted soundtrack. John Williams is a genius and Indiana Jones is a amazing trilogy.
Nothing send shivers down your spine like this song. John Williams is a freaking mastermind!
I scream the choral part at the top of my lungs in the maze at the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyland. Parents laugh, little children cry.
misterfunnybones A bit mean, aren't we?
Why??
Fulcrum Why make little kids cry when they're supposed to be having a good time? That's mean!
Celtic and Penobscot all I said was why???? I didn’t say anything mean all I asked was why, I think you read someone else’s comment and thought it was me..
I'm dying 😂😂

When you find that old PS2 memory card.
"Indy!"
"DON'T LOOK AT IT KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT!!"
This music reminds me not to mess with anything ancient
This is the first warning shot fired by the Ark, but no one cares. Even Indy realizes the enormity of the situation only at the very end - when the Ark, fed up, takes the situation into her hands...
I just love this one. I think this melody is so nicely designed! It is hard to put this into a certain genre because it is just everything!
Meanwhile at the E3 vault...
Gabe Newell: this is our most perfect game yet. GENTLEMEN. BEHOLD, HALF LIFE 3 *valve vault opens*
Everyone: ITS SO.... BEAUTIFUL.
**Melts face**
*The Whole World including Nazis gasp and stare at the Half Life 3 Game*
They have top men working on it. TOP. MEN.
Gabe Layfield LMAO
I must say it was also used beautifully on the Indiana Jones ride at disneyland!
I was lucky enough to have a private tour of a cave beneath the Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico City. This tune was playing continously in my head!
Beside the fact that Teotihuacan and the ark of the covenant have so much in common. Makes sense.
This song is cause so many feelings to come up. John Williams good job!!!
Bit by bit, this is the soundtrack to me getting up in the morning.
The ending is finally looking at the face and figure in my bedroom mirror, thinking,
'here goes another day"...
John Williams is a genius.
2:21-3:22 I have goosebumps
Me too man. The nostalgia is killing me. This brings happiness to my ears. It brings back my childhood memories. Even though I was born in the early 90s
I was born in the 2000s, and I love Indiana Jones. The lego sets are what I remember the most, those were so fun.
Me too. So powerful
Lol me 2
Me too :)
John Williams = one of the greatest musical architects/artists of the modern age, possibly of all time. Magnificent.
Most definitely all time. His work will be remembered for generations.
This song is such a masterpiece.
Snakes..... why did it had to be snakes.
Every time the arc is mentioned in the other films it plays this theme love it
When you're moving out and your parents make you go through your old toy closet.
This plays in my head when I see something mysterious
The best Indiana Jones movie ever.
The best adventure action movie of all time an absolute classic masterpiece!
Don't look at it! Just don't look!

Consider your ass blocked.
***** God dammit, what did I tell you?!
I wish ISIL would find the Ark and open it.
Kharn526 Yeah but in return They would find themselves owned.
Usama Zahid That's the idea
***** Truly agreed My friend, Nobody Messes with GOD and Gets away with the ark otherwise his Wrath will fall upon the Terrorists themselves.
Lacuna Leora Yeah, That would be totally shocking isn't it?, All of sentient Life and the entire planet would go Kaput if you ask me.
Lacuna Leora I know. Unfortunately no one can predict what would happen. I hope God Forbid that Worst case scenario won't happen.
Best theme written for just a single moment in film history
Although I prefer the original recording, I think this is John Williams´best composition.
Parts of this play in my mind when I'm looking through articles in encyclopedias and other non-fiction books.
This music was playing in my head when I was in Egypt visiting underground tombs in the valley of the kings lol
I always believe again when I hear this music.
This version was recorded & played by " the Prague philarmonic orchstra directed by :Nic Raine (2002)
It's so intense, unbelievable..
Hauntingly Beautiful
On August 21, 2017, I was thinking of 2:44- 3:01 as the moon was almost in front of the sun. But then when it was totally in front of it, all I could think of was silence.
In this version, it sounds more like the apocalypse is coming than a revelation.
Perfect, with just a hint of the supernatural.
I love this track. It has a Faustian quality. It seems like the music Oppenheimer had in his mind at Trinity.
I hear this music everytime I can't find my car keys. What an adventure!
I have a cool thing to share: for my schools marching band, our composer almost copied 1 for 1 this song to give it an eerie feeling, because our song is also prehistoric themed.
"She's beau-difull!!"....

Chills from the very start.

all of the john williams composed songs are awesome.
best track in the movie...one of the ones you remember..
If ISIS find the ark, God's fury will wipe them from this planet just as he did to Belloq and the Nazi party. ISIS be careful with the religious artifacts you find, no one can save you from the wrath of god. Indy knew this, he even knew it in last crusade with the grail. Man I love this franchise and everything about it.
Still, I wouldn't want to open it. Superstitions and Legend always have some truth to them.
You DO realize it's only a movie, and you won't melt when you find the Ark, and the Holy Grail will not cure bullet wounds, right?
@J. Hanna - Thanks, Buzzkill McGee
@@J.G.H. that is kind of true. it's the blessing of God that made it special. the ask but itself wasn't anything supernatural
The alto/soprano chorus is something Williams really didn't revisit much. Used to great effect in Duel of the Fates (another of my favorites of his).
I always think of this song when I'm reading H.P. Lovecraft and some character has their first, slow-burn exposure to some dangerous, eldritch "Mythos" artifact.

This remains one of my all-time favorite themes.
Here after seing Dial of Destiny and feeling sad because Indy's adventures are finally over.
Incredible composer, a legend in his own lifetime!
The music score has the weight and power of God within it.. You can feel it!
Oh...I'm the 33,333rd person to view/listen to this upload. :)
My god Indy, they found it...
Listening to this as I unbox my old toy collection
Lego Indiana Jones vibes. Who else?
There is some things in this version I never heard before
could be a revised or re master version...but sure sounds great.....
This song makes me want to go on an adventure to find my dad
i can see the movie unfolding frame by frame in my mind as i listen to this
When I'm cleaning my room and I find something I had misplaced for years and had forgotten about it
when you hear that Al Capone lived in the camp a block away from my house, im not kidding. and they say he stashed all his gold some where.
3:15 I thought it was going to break into Star Wars.

Well, you can try sniffing cocaine with this music on the background. You'll truly see God then.
This plays in my mind when i see the world
