biography
Though he had written film scores for some of the greatest directors of all time – Alfred Hitchcock, Oliver Stone, George Lucas – composer John Williams was clearly defined by his long-running collaboration with Steven Spielberg. Though prolific and accomplished in his own right, Williams reached unprecedented heights, thanks to his iconic scores for Spielberg-helmed classics “Jaws” (1975), “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981) and “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” (1982). Spielberg even had an indirect hand in Williams composing the music for “Star Wars”
