This was an extra ! I was there and there was a play list but this wasn't on it . Everyone pretty much knew it was gonna happen at some point but just awesome when you hear those notes . My favourite file ever as well
That tune used to play in my head when my ex-girlfriend used to put her keys through the door before beating my ass after a tough day at work. Yes, she was toxic!
@@adrianaguerrero701 Lo que pasa es que la gente aca en estados unidos usan Jaws mucho en la sociedad con humor. Presentemente, por eso es. Pero obvio, es una obra de terror
They recognized it by the first lone note. John brings the theme in as a solo note, then duo, and then trio. Down; down-up; down-up-down. Total masterwork in simplicity and effectiveness.
John williams is a magician, he knows exactly which notes and how they should be played by which instrument to make you laugh, feel scared, joyfull, inspired, ..
He can carry a movie by himself. Early in his career when he was 30 or so he did music for 'The Rare Breed' (1966) starring Jimmy Stewart. These guys are trying to find a prized bull which is lost and feared dead. Kinda Boring. But Williams music keeps you engaged.
Even after all these years, hearing this brilliant music has my closing my eyes and shuddering at the cold chill that goes down my spine when I imagine that menacing dorsal fin slicng through the water
The music made the film even more scary. The building tempo and crescendo evoke anxiety dread anticipation and fear. Then the horns join in to add to the nautical feel of a foghorn on a boat. Plus the meandering tune halfway through seems unconnected to the main theme but fits wonderfully to bring relief for a while until the return of the final powerful finish. The sheer brilliance of music to provoke our imaginations, fantastic.
I watched Jaws when I was in college here in our town's cinema & it was a blockbuster hit in my country,the Philippines. John Williams is the best composer & musical scorer of many Hollywood films. Sept 5,2021
A couple of years after JAWS premiered, I was driving home and suddenly developed an awful sense of impending doom. I knew something awful was about to happen, and I was desperately checking my mirrors and looking all around. Then it hit me: this theme was playing on the radio without my having noticed it starting.
This really is an amazing theme, I love the hopeful, summery bits over the ominous threatening music, really captures the summer holiday vibe on Amity.
I think that John Williams should be given a special Knighthood here in the UK for his awesome contribution to films and TV work especially this Iconic piece of music for such an Iconic movie which will live on forever and Jaws should be preserved in the national archive as something of Importance. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Sir John Williams showed how only two notes can create terror and phobia in your mind ! It's just a matter of E n F or F and F# . HUGE RESPECT from INDIA 🇮🇳 ... beautifully played !
It was all fun & games for the audience just like in the movie's opening scene until 1:30 kicked in you heard no more laughter as they knew Jaws was coming!
Such a thrill to see The Maestro Conduct his own. The audience appreciated it too, with their ovation when he walked on and the laughter at the first note.
it is mazing that an episode on Star Trek in 1967 used virtually the same theme with the 'Doomsday machine' when this huge machine was slicing up planets with a powerful particle beam then consumed what was left of the planet into its huge cavernous opening to digest for fuel much like a shark. Sometimes I wondered if John Williams watched that episode and decided that the same theme could work for 'Jaws' in 1977?
I attended Lakehead University in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😀 I studied music and mathematics with a minor in biology Years later I'm happy to say that I'm retired in a Condo in winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 after time in ft McMurray Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
JAWS put John Williams on top where he belongs. All his wonderful iconic scores followed. Before that he was Johnny Williams, scoring B pictures. Thank you, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for recognizing this man’s genius!
Fascinating. I had to watch it multiple times to catch just who was involved in what instruments at which time. The lady just to the left of the conductor really meant what she was doing.
Now watch the film jaws ... and most of the fear you feel is when the shark isn't there.. the magic of the music builds the fear from with in... a you fill in the gaps
The two MOST SCARY NOTES in history - I hear this I wont even go PADDLING...............I hear Martha's Vineyard hasnt seen another tourist in the ocean since 1975...........................
