John Williams - Star Wars: A New Hope: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Special Edition)
Star Wars: A New Hope: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Special Edition) (2CD Set)
By John Williams (Conductor)
Very Good Condition
There is no soundtrack composer working today more talented or consistent than John Williams, and the Star Wars trilogy represents some of his finest work. Though he uses few major themes (mostly tied to specific characters, signaling when they appear on the screen or do something important), there's also enough variety in the incidental music to keep things interesting. From the instantly recognizable opening music to the medley that accompanies the closing credits, this is excellent work that perfectly captures the innocence and sense of adventure of the film. At the same time, the Star Wars score stands up very well as a piece of music on its own. --Genevieve Williams
