  • chuck norris can't stand the fact that he's no match for superman that's why he disliked this video

  • The brass/horn fifth intervals in unison ?

    Nah, it is just a small motif. The harmonies after that could clearly be called as bing "ripped off" from Aaron Copland - I call it John Williams, he openly admits to take bits and pieces from here and there (Wagner, Rachmaninov, Debussy) - but he turns them into something new - and owns them. Like all great composers he is able to take bits and pieces bdcause he 1) knows them, 2) understands them, 3) builds them together to form something his own.

  • John Williams is the movie theme song king!!

  • @songsmadeforyou CMaj7 over an FMaj7. The FMaj7 is in 3rd inversion, I think - play that chord on the piano, starting on the E below middle C. Just put a C Maj7 (in root position) an octave above that, and, as Otis says, "Wala". It's funny how everybody gets this chord wrong when they do fan versions of this piece. Have fun.

  • 2:59 - So unique! Can you feel it?

  • Man ,if I had footage like this when I was a kid ! Without a doubt one of the most awesome themes of all time! So many great melodies! I I love that piccolo that is in alot of John Williams music! Hear it in 'The Asteroid Field" (Empire Strikes Back) also.I remember first seeing this movie in the theatre when theatres had curtains.Incredible ! What a great time for movies and without the awful CG !

  • @songsmadeforyou I love that chord!! I know what you mean

  • Powerfull Them of Superman The Movie 1978 .I Remember the Happy this Song in Big Screen.
