John Williams: Theme from Jaws (Boston Pops)

Being one of them guys playing jaws with the man who made it would be like 1000x better than sitting down with the queen for 20 minutes

想像鯊魚的牙齒穿透你身體的那一剎那！太可怕了。經典之作！那時候我才15歲

KFC guy is doing great as conductor

O LOOKIT.....MY THEME MUSIC!

SPETTACOLOOOOOO

I was 9 when we saw this in the Drive In. I was so scared my parents took my glasses away so I couldn't see. I was leery of all bodies of water, even swimming pools! 😂😂

Wait until 2025

ein Meisterwerk 😅😊

John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Howard Shore - THE HOLY TRIUMVIRATE of cinematic film scores

JW doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for this masterpiece. The film would be nothing without the music.

Brilliant!

My Favorite Movie JAWS and JAWS 2

"Just one or two moments... that's all it takes" - Colossus

"How about just two notes..." - John Williams

One note and everyone knows, pure genius 👌

The audience reaction to hearing one note is testimony to the immediate identification people have with Williams' theme for Jaws. A simple two note intro conveys a feeling of impending danger. Brilliant composer of memorable scores like Superman, Schindler's List, Indiana Jones films, Star Wars and more.

I can't imagine the reaction of the people in the beach if they put on speakears this melody when the crowd is swimming..!! I bet you anything that many people will start swimming deseparate straight to the beach..!!

To me reason why Jaws became my favorite horror was because it was my first movie I saw when I turned 16. Sadly K-16/R movies went downhill afterwards. Except Silence of the lambs, It and The Blair Witch Project. Not the largest horror fan so I might had missed a few.

This is not a funny score.This is horrorfyingly serious.

Wow Stravinsky rite of spring is very similar.

Lost an entire summer of swimming in lakes, ponds and pools because of this music/movie. I know Jaws wasn't in those bodies of water, BUT Jaws WAS in those bodies of water.

My goodness. I'm speechless. Some of the greatest films ever made would not be the same without his music.

Nostálgico!

loving

Try playing this music at any beach gathering...

i think its actually three notes

I'll play it again and again

So so cool 😎

The man is just brilliant

Esaslı müzik.

they had to laugh?

Gênius

Seems like John Williams stole the Jaws theme from Dvorak Symphony 9 4th movement.

Why did the crowd laugh ? 1st & 2 notes bought a tear to the eye. To hear this live would be gold. And Spielberg laughed when he 1st hear it. The most recognizable movie score ever made. Would be even better to hear it played on Martha's Vineyard for the JAWS 50th Anniversary. JAWS Rulz.🦈🦈🦈

I am so scary by the first two notes

I heard an interview wherein Steven Spielberg described the night John Williams dropped by to play this proposed theme music on Mr. Spielberg's piano. It was evidently a very awkward moment when all John Williams played was one note. And then started repeating it and one other note over and over. The movie director thought the composer was playing a joke on him.
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to hear THAT conversation:

"No, seriously John. I don't have much time. Play me the real melody now."
"Steven, I'm telling you. This is *GOLD*! This will terrify the audience!"
"John, you know you're not the only composer I can get for this, right?"
"Steven, you're not using your imagination. There would be stringed instruments and drums...."
"I think I know how to use my imagination, John."
"Let me play it for you just one more time, please Steven!"
"No, let me play it instead.....(repeats two low notes on the piano over and over)... like that?"
"Steven, now you're mocking me."
"Look, it's late. I thought you had something serious. Call me next week. Bring me something people will remember."

🎼 LOL! 🎹

One of the movie theaters near me showed Jaws over the summer. Even though I've rewatched it multiple times, I still jumped at all the right places. Even though I knew everything that was coming up. 😂

Three people in film I admire: Steven Spielberg, Stan Winston, and John Williams.... legends

OR IN A POOL WITH OUT LOOKING

THANK YOU JOHN WILLIAMS LOVE YOU I STILL SINCE I WAS A LITTLE Girl STILL CANT GO IN THE OCEAN

Head and shoulders above the competition

I'm a metal head, but I have an appreciation for so much music, when I hear great music, I call it great music, no matter what style it is. I love the fact that there's so many instruments, coming together as one great sound. Fuckin brilliant.

I have no words, just mind blowing piece. OMG 😱

One other point,... John Williams is a GREAT composer but he also needs some GREAT Musicians to make what he writes come to life.

His songs are iconic. ❤😊

I wonder if this music was ever played in a swimming baths😂

There is no doubt that John Williams is a musical genius!!!!🎉🎉🎉
