@rstrunks Look, i'm a huge JW fan too, and i have to admit that there's a lot of influence from other composers in his works, but mostly because the director used that music in the temporary music track of the film. Holst's "Mars" is heard in the score of "Star Wars" (Episode IV: A New Hope), for example in the Rebel Fanfare in "The Death Star/Stormtroopers".

that is a rotary trumpet, used mostly in Germany - very different sound.

@wnsp7 rotary trumpet

what kind of trumpet is that, that has the valves of a french horn and is played sideways???

@rstrunks "Mars" is supposed to be "Imperial Attack", not the "March". Despite metric diffs, the sound is similar. Also, Williams itself has explained what music has "inspired" the Star Wars score and why, piece by piece.
Some consider it a ripoff, but he acknowledges the influence; also it's film music, which is functional and needs to be done in defined timeframe.
Lastly, this "originality" obsession is relatively new. Classical music recycles themes and materials without any guilt.

1 Person Didn't Grow Up With E.T.!!! XD

@rstrunks I completely agree. And if anything, he's simply been inspired by those pieces. It's obvious he was influenced by the Holst pieces for "Star Wars" and Sousa for his great marches. He's made them his own and changed the way people write film music forever.

That was enjoyable. Such a wonderful performance. Well done!

OK im sorry.. If anyone has something to say about John Williams copying other works or not being original they either arent really farmiliar with either his music or the stuff hes supposedly ripped off.. And the imperial march theme from empire sounds nothing like Mars.. any non-musical person could tell that! Mars is in 5/4 time for one thing.. ugh I could go on and on.. If anyone things they could have done better than John williams over the past 40 years then they should give it a go..
