PROGRAM | CINEMATIC I
WELCOME
The lights dim, the curtains open and conversations descend into whispers. The smell of
popcorn and slurping of slushies fills the void until ten blue words appear on the black screen:
'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…'. What follows is an interminable silence as yellow
crawl text edges up the screen and the audience begins to wonder if the movie will ever start.
This is what would have happened if one of the greatest movie franchises ever made
hadn’t been paired with music written by one of the greatest composers of our time.
Thankfully, John Williams crafted a musical landscape that not only matched the magic
of the onscreen world but in fact enhanced it, leaving audiences spellbound.
My personal experiences with movies are viscerally linked to the scores that accompany
them. The excitement of a feast at Hogwarts, the explosion of the Death Star, a first
encounter with a dinosaur, skateboarding with the lost boys..! The stories are fantastic,
the CGI is mesmerising, but it’s the music that makes it memorable, and it is this music
that we have the pleasure of sharing with you today. I hope that as we perform our way
through the film scores of John Williams, you too are transported to Neverland, Isla Nublar,
Little Whinging, Tatooine, and more.
Our Cinematic concerts are a personal highlight for me as they are an opportunity to live out
CONTENTS
my own Peter Pan syndrome and embrace my inner child. Our costumes add an element of
theatre to our performances, and whether I’ve appeared as Chewbacca, the Joker, or today’s
character of choice, I always look forward to sharing this experience with you. Have fun!

LISTENING GUIDE For full piece titles refer to page 1. John Williams (1932 – ) John Williams is undoubtedly the most prolific film composer of our time. He has forged a career spanning five decades, collecting five Oscars, four Golden Globes, seven BAFTAs and 25 Grammys. With 52 Oscar nominations, he is second only to Walt Disney as the most nominated artist of all time. He shared fruitful partnerships with directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and is known for his lush orchestral writing and masterful creation of character motifs. We are indebted to his creativity and are thrilled to perform some of his most memorable music in our concert today. Superman (1978) While we have traditionally opened Cinematic concerts with the Star Wars theme, given there is plenty of Star Wars music still to come, we thought we’d jump in with a theme that is equally as big and bold: the March from the 1978 Superman film directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeve. The opening notes in the brass are based around a combination of notes known as a triad - one of the basic chords that underpins much Western music. It gives an instant straight-up-and-down heroic quality to the character of Superman that only becomes more elaborate as the march expands. This music set a new benchmark for many years of what heroic music could sound like. A secondary theme from the March we just heard is later expanded into the beautiful Love Theme, showing the romantic side of Williams’ sound world. As well as the main tunes, there are many distinctive touches to this music - tinkling bells, swirling harps, all of which Williams has used throughout his career in endlessly creative ways. JFK (1991) In 1991, director Oliver Stone created a three-hour plus film that chronicled the investigation of District Attorney Jim Garrison (played by Kevin Costner) into the death of President John F. Kennedy. The film tried to argue as persuasively as it could that JFK was done in by a shadowy conspiracy reaching up to the highest levels of American government. Stone’s theories have been controversial and not widely accepted, but there is one element of the film that still holds up well: Williams created a nostalgic and noble trumpet theme that accompanies the film’s opening montage of footage of the real-life Kennedy. It immediately sets the mood for this poignant political drama. Jaws (1975) Did ever such a simple musical idea do such a lot? Those two sinister notes in the low end of the orchestra, repeatedly getting faster, signalling the oncoming attack of a giant white shark, successfully managed to raise the blood pressure of many thousands of filmgoers. This was actually the second movie directed by Steven Spielberg and scored by John Williams, but in this case, the music became as famous as the film, and the two became firm collaborators for many decades to come. 4 PROGRAM | CINEMATIC Pictured: Kirsten Hulin-Bobart PROGRAM | CINEMATIC 5

otherness of the visiting aliens. But, as the five-note theme emerges and takes over,
the music becomes more majestic and beautiful.
The Terminal (2004)
The world struggled to make sense of the events of September 11, and so did filmmakers.
Angela’s Ashes (1999) Steven Spielberg was to touch on the theme indirectly in a couple of his films, one being

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
In the second outing of famed archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison
Ford), he stumbles across a sinister cult in India that is enslaving children to do mining
work. The scene where Indy rescues the kids has some great action, all driven by this
Parade of the Slave Children (a modified march). It’s not heard live very often, so we’re
delighted to be able to include it as a special feature of today’s concert.
6 PROGRAM | CINEMATIC PROGRAM | CINEMATIC 7
LISTENING GUIDE Jurassic Park (1993) Before Jurassic Park came along, special effects were rather more obvious than they are today. If there was a monster in the film, it was either a giant puppet or a claymation character and audiences knew it. But in 1993, when the brachiosaurus stepped onto the screen in Spielberg’s dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic Park, jaws dropped. The only way the audience could tell it wasn’t a real dinosaur was because dinosaurs are extinct. It was a magical moment, one which perhaps has been overshadowed by how easily special effects can be done nowadays. But one person who understood the magic straightaway was John Williams. Even though it is at heart a creature thriller, Williams gave his main theme music for Jurassic Park a hallowed, almost religious effect, reflecting a sense of awe and wonder that dinosaurs now walked the earth again. Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) The 90s into the early 2000s was the era of the premium historical drama, and Memoirs of a Geisha was another famous book that didn’t quite do as successfully at the box office as it did in the local bookshop. The film itself was the epitome of the word “sumptuous”, and the evocative score by John Williams perfectly matches the imagery onscreen. One of the noticeable trends in modern film composing is that while soundtracks still utilise strings and brass a great deal, it’s becoming less common to hear well-written parts for woodwind instruments. Happily, this is not the case with Sayuri’s Theme, which has some of his most sensitive woodwind writing. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001) If you have ever tried to pick out Hedwig’s Flight (or the Harry Potter theme as most of us think about it now) on a piano, you realise how tricky it is. The opening tune (first heard on the celeste) is instantly hummable, and yet the leaps between notes are not at all intuitive. Likewise, the magical swooshes on the violins are some of the hardest things that John Williams asks musicians to do. But that’s the magic of this theme and his music in general: below the surface charm lies immense complexity. 8 PROGRAM | CINEMATIC Pictured: Thomas Allely PROGRAM | CINEMATIC 9
LISTENING GUIDE
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
We return to the movie that launched Indiana Jones' series and created arguably
John Williams’ second-most famous theme of all time, the Raiders March. The exuberant
leaping theme perfectly matches the rough action of Harrison Ford’s legendary
character, while at the same time providing a marvellous throwback to the classic
films that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas both grew up on.
Star Wars IV: A New Hope
Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
No concert of John Williams would be complete without performing surely the most
immortal of all 20th century film music - his music for the Star Wars films. Starting
with the original film in 1977, the Star Wars universe offers a myriad of different delights:
memorable characters, great action sequences and some of the most epic space visuals
ever created. In these three pieces, all moods of this phenomenal music are represented:
the romance of Princess Leia’s theme, John Williams’ action music at its best in The
Asteroid Field sequence and, of course, the mighty brass-fuelled opening theme. Obi-wan
Kenobi famously said “May the force be with you.” We say “May this music be played live
for years to come.”
