Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Credited with heralding in the beginning of grand symphonic scores, the music of the Star Wars movies were all composed by John Williams. The emotional appeal and grandness of the music created the perfect galactic environment in which to envelope the film series. Williams used a technique called leitmotif to musically signify characters, places or plot elements. The music and the mood of the movies are inextricably intertwined. This book explores the music of the series, as well as the composers, musicians and performers.
