John Williams

Celebrating John Williams’ 90th birthday with some of his best (and rare) film scores AND the debut of his brand new recording conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.

John Williams is an honored film composer, but he began as an arranger. Williams is now arranging again, this time with the acclaimed violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter on the album Across the Stars.

You might think you know everything by multi-Oscar-nominated film composer John Williams, but there's a lot of his work that has flown under the radar. On this week's Flicks in Five and Saturday Cinema, Lynne Warfel surveys Williams' less-familiar music.

The score that Steven Spielberg calls 'John Williams's best work for the movies' has been reissued in a two-disc set that lets fans hear more of the glorious music than ever.

Who knew that just two notes could cause such terror?

John Williams provides a sentimental and lovely score to accompany the screwball comedy about a kid left alone at home at Christmastime. On this week's Flicks in Five, Lynne Warfel shares music from 'Home Alone'.

Speaking from the stage at a Boston concert, John Williams confirmed that he will return to compose the score for the forthcoming 'Star Wars Episode VIII.'

On this week's Flicks in Five, Lynne Warfel shares music from 1972's The Cowboys -- the story of a rancher whose ranch hands abandon him to go join a gold rush, leaving him to find replacements for a grueling, 400-mile cattle drive.

Last week, Michael Miller and Bryce Hayashi set up outside of the home of John Williams to perform a trumpet/flugelhorn arrangement of the iconic 'Star Wars' theme. And the composer himself came out to greet them.

John Williams's score for 'Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones' is getting a limited-edition vinyl reissue -- with disc colors to match Jango Fett's.
