Musical Holocron

Well this came as a shock when I saw this post today. But I guess it's true.

John Williams conducted the National Symphony Orchestra in a memorable performance of his "Imperial March" from Star Wars during a gala to celebrate his 90th Birthday in 2023.

It makes me think of the future and the artists we will eventually lose. What an important contribution he made to the world. What a legend.

The following video is a great close-up of a performer at the piano playing a John William's masterpiece. But more importantly, the camera is focused on the player's hands. Though it is not clear if the musician learned this piece from published sheet music or is playing by ear, a determined fan could learn and approximately duplicate the performance on their own instrument.

My cousin playing the epic theme of the battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan ... this music is one of the many that we will provide to you by YouTube.

I am not 100 percent positive that this song was actually performed or recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, but the file name suggests that it is correct. This is a beautiful, full-sized orchestra performing a medley of songs from an even bigger NES hit, Super Mario Bros. and is a favorite of "old-schoolers" of all ages.

Incorrectly known in the USA as "Final Fantasy II," this was a gem of a game for the NES that brought in many fun elements of fantasy including flying boats, magic-wielding knights and a hero transformed from an agent of evil to a savior. Near the climax of the game, the rousing march soundtrack changed to a subdued piano ballad when our characters arrived on the moon to learn more about their destiny.
