"Yo-Yo's ability to connect personally and even privately with every individual in the audience is perhaps the greatest of his abundant gifts. Happily, and with complete justice, the world loves and reveres this man as do I, and working with him is always a joyous journey to be treasured." —John Williams

HOW MUCH DO YOU WILLIAMS?🎵

“That’s the essence of being a film composer, we are asked to conjure all sorts of moods. I remember in my early days being asked to write burlesque and vaudeville-type music for comedies simultaneously with supplying big romantic scores for dramas. If you are going to write music for cinema, or at least for more than one or two films, you have to accept all varieties of challenge. It goes with the territory. In film there’s often the need for a composer to change gear even in the space of a few minutes. So in Close Encounters, for example, you get those Penderecki-like clusters, but they are then combined with a romantic tune, all in the course of a six-minute sequence.” – John Williams
