John Williams is absolutely brilliant at conducting great music that can scare the shit out of you.

[Flash11I19]

Should have been longer ;_;

[KE2wentythree]

@Flash11I19 Agreed! The beginning of the movie is may favourite part just because of this short few seconds of music.

I dont know if God exists but I know John Williams does

@PolishMartian (and @RogueRotting360 and @semperfi2o10) Your polychord info seems accurate, despite my diminishing music skills, because I heard or see the notes of Em7-9 (counting F#), Bm and F# chords; however, I can't play 6 notes in the right hand now.

After much replaying, I still thought the drumbeat sounds could be a kettledrum and/or low-frequency string (cello or bass), but according to another article, it's electronically-distorted thumps of a Japanese drum, so it fooled me.

@RogueRotting360 (and @semperfi2o10) Thanks for most of the music/sound info here, which I missed seeing earlier. I started another reply to semperfi2o10 two weeks ago, but IE-8 it. So, the "creepy flute sound" sounded like an actual WOOD (not metal) woodwind and I'd heard of a shakuhachi before, but didn't recognize it here. I found that info in another article later, but where did you find out about the vocal polychord? I hadn't tried to guess it earlier and couldn't find it elsewhere later.

Has me thinking about the raptors. >.<!!!

@PolishMartian Yes, I would say that John Williams is doing his best for what I suppose I would call "the best movies", because I would say that most of my favorite movies that touched my heart were made by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. For this reason I call John Williams an amazing composer and a great artist in the studies of music.

[PolishMartian]

@brainy1130 Yes, I enjoyed the Jurassic Park film scores immensely, but John Williams seems to do his best work when he works with Steven Spielberg and/or George Lucas. I could listen to his movie (and some other) music all day – not quite 24/7 – and I have more or less done so on several occasions. Awesome, yes!

[PolishMartian]

@mohican19831 I would agree with you that John Williams is the best composer in the last 40 years or so, but without listening to many days of other composers' music, I can't even definitely say he's the best film score composer ever. However, if he isn't, he'd be in the top 3.. "Star Wars" is still the American Film Institute's highest-ranked movie score in history. HOWEVER, compared with some of the best classical music composers, I'd have to rank him slightly lower – but still outstanding!

when I first saw this, i thought he was shouting his friends name "SHUTA! - SHUUUTA!!" don't ask why lol
