John Williams is Classical Music!!

I thought I'd let the cat out of the bag right from the get-go.  I'm a huge John Williams fan!!

For everyone who thinks they'd never listen to classical music... take another listen to the themes to Indiana Jones, Star Wars, E.T., Superman, and many great Steven Spielberg films...  Those babies are composed by a man named John Williams!

When it comes to the masterful works of composer John Williams, they are often thought of as nothing more than great soundtracks.  However, they make use of the classical orchestra, are written with Romantic influences, and, in my humble opinion, display the pinnacle of modern classical music! (oxy moron?) 

I find his work to be awe-inspiring and perfectly composed for it's intended use as soundtrack material, but also amazing to listen to outside of the movies!!

There will be much more to come on John Williams and his different works, but for now I'll leave you with a video that displays his mastery in a concert setting.

P.S.  Listen to the guy who's filming it's reaction

P.P.S. clapping at a classical music concert? (amazing! :) )
