Liner Notes One day John Williams told me something I never would have
imagined... that creating a musical score for a nearly compeleted motion picture is far
and away more frustrating than creating an original symphonic composition that never has
to conform to the beats, measures, and boundary layers of a screen story, but instead
flows freely from the composer's imagination as he tells his own story from start to
finish. This is perhaps why much of John's music for Close Encounters of the Third Kind is
so airborne and awe inspiring. He actually started work on musical ideas two years before
Close Encounters was finalized, basing his impressions on the unfinished script and dinner
conversations we would have twice a week. Steven Spielberg, Director |
