The Silver Screen Soundtrack Hour - Raiders of the Lost Ark: Deep Dive
This week we’ll take an in-depth listen to one of John Williams’ finest scores, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Williams’ work for this film is a showcase for his strengths as a composer, as he interweaves a variety of leitmotifs throughout the film, guiding the audience through the action and linking characters and motives to a series of memorable musical moments.
Beethoven: The Darth Vader Variations
The subject of this theme and variations is "Darth Vader's Theme" by John Williams. The treatment is pure early Beethoven, and the result is great fun.
