Jurassic Park Live in Concert

I was eight when I watched my first English film. Like most other mofussil town millennials growing up in India, Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park was my first English film too. At the time, I didn't yet have the ear to differentiate John Williams’ rapturous score from T. Rex’s thunderous roar, among the sounds I heard while watching the film. The next ten years, I grew up in the modest city of Salem, in the state of Tamil Nadu, utterly oblivious to the existence of the music of Jurassic Park.

E.T Flying Theme

This is one of my all time favorite movie scores. I still remember the exhilarating feel I got by listening to John William’s score to the scene, when the E.T makes the cycle to fly in the air. Also watch the ten minute video where Steven Spielberg and John Williams talk about how the piece was written and recorded. Steven Spielberg asked John Williams to orchestrate the piece in the way he wants and later edited the scene according to the score. A must watch video for all movie buffs and score buffs.
