Star Wars Themes Medley - Piano/Orchestral - Carlton Forrester

This is a medley of 5 of my favorite themes from the Star Wars Trilogies played on the piano with orchestral backing. The video is of the piano recording. There are several other orchestral tracks (cellos, violas, violins, woodwinds, oboe, choirs, timpany, percussion) that are layered in the background to provide the "Star Wars" sound.

The themes are:

1 - Binary Sunset (from Tatooine Theme)
2 - Emperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)
3 - Princess Leia's Theme
4 - Star Wars Main Title Theme
5 - Padme/Anakins Love Theme

My favorite of the themes is Princess Leia's Theme (the third part of this medley). As you might notice it occupies the largest chunk of time.

I am a life long Star Wars fan and have always loved (and played) the music but the process of working out this medley has me convinced (as if I didn't know already) that John Williams (the composer of the Star Wars score) is an absolute genius. If anything, this would be my little tribute to John Williams.

[MrJackanthony]

Was this all done with the s90?

[cafo1972]

@MrJackanthony Hi -- and sorry about the late response! To answer your question, the s90 was only used as a controller (keyboard) for this.  All sounds came from VSTs on my computer. See the more info section for the specific VSTs used. Thanks!
