Author and music journalist Tim Greiving joins One Symphony to open the doors to John Williams: A Composer’s Life—from Jurassic Park cassette tapes to years of early-morning writing sessions and rare, relaxed conversations with Williams himself. We explore Williams’ jazz roots, Brahmsian soul, “laundered history” nostalgia, and why the orchestra never goes out of style. Plus: E.T.’s free-flowing finale, the Vienna embrace, and that mind-blowing discovery about Williams’ grandfather, a proto–film composer in the silent era.
