John Williams' music belongs among the stars.
The Star Wars soundtrack composed by music legend John Williams has officially found its place among the stars. Responsible for some of the most recognizable film scores in modern history, Williams was first recommended to Star Wars creator George Lucas by their mutual friend and collaborator Steven Spielberg. Selected by the American Film Institute as the greatest American film score of all time, Williams’ contribution to 1977’s Star Wars played no small role in its enduring popularity.
Now an exciting, first-of-its-kind performance from Polaris Dawn Mission Specialist Sarah Gillis has made"Rey’s Theme" from Star Wars: The Force Awakens the first violin performance conducted in orbit. Check it out below: Why Rey's Theme Is The Perfect Music For This Iconic Moment Close The decision to introduce Daisy Ridley’s Rey as Star Wars’ latest protagonist in 2015’s The Force Awakens necessitated an appropriate leitmotif that separated her character from her predecessors.
Performed in collaboration with child musicians from the international El Sistema network of organizations, Gillis herself explains that Rey’s Theme perfectly “symbolises unity and hope, highlighting the resilience and potential of children everywhere.” Its underlying sense of optimism is a fitting tribute to an international organization aimed at promoting musical education and social change.
