Superman (1978) by John Williams

In 1978, Warner Brothers Pictures screened the movie Superman. John Williams took the job of composing the music for this film. This is definitely one of the greatest themes in movie history. Play the video below to listen to track 1 of this soundtrack: Prelude and Main Title March




I hear this while in Disney's Hollywood Studios two days ago and have been humming it ever since. It is a happy, memorable theme, and that is what makes good music. John Williams made this tune very memorable. I also like the beginning. It starts out slow, then it gradually grew. I like that John Williams took his time, he didn't rush or go immediately into the theme. This score also sounds a little old, which is fine because the theme sounds a little dated itself. I like the way it ends, too. John Williams Stretches the finale out to keep you hanging, expecting the big ending, which eventually comes. This music is very creative, and done by one of the greatest film composers of all time. Download the full score below and listen to it. Tell me what you think of the rest of this music.

Here is the download link to the soundtrack:

Enjoy!
