To celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, YourClassical's Movies stream is going to play a 24-hour marathon of John Williams's iconic scores on Friday, Dec. 18.
The music starts at midnight — and if you want to listen to all the scores from beginning to end, tune in at 6:00 a.m. CT as we cue up the soundtrack from Episode I. We'll continue on playing all seven soundtracks in sequence.
Here are the times each soundtrack will begin. The links from each score lead to pages where you can purchase the soundtracks, with a portion of the proceeds going to support Minnesota Public Radio/American Public Media: the nonprofit organization that produces YourClassical.

7:14 a.m. CT: Episode II: Attack of the Clones
