When
John Williams composed the original score to Jaws, he created one of
the most famous and instantly recognizable motifs ever composed for the
cinema, winning for Williams both an Oscar and a Grammy. Jaws was the
first “blockbuster” film, and followed over the next couple
of years with Star Wars (another Oscar) and Close Encounters also
composed by Williams. By the time 1978 came around, thanks to the
success of Star Wars inaugurating the renaissance of the symphonic
score, the gritty, lean ’70s mode of film scoring gave way to
large scale, epic scores. While Williams could hardly compose a new
Jaws score without incorporating his classic shark motif, he composed
an all new score, larger in scale than the first. Aside from a brief
quote of the Orca theme during the main title sequence, the wealth of
new material for the score is dominated by two new principal themes.
The original MCA album released at the time of the film was assembled
from various shorter cues for reasons of musicality rather than exact
chronology. resulting in an exciting, creatively thought out album. In
preparing this set with the cues appearing in their original film
order, Intrada noted that those 1978 album assemblies deleted bars of
music to accommodate joining two or three otherwise unrelated cues
together to form the longer album tracks. This new score presentation
was assembled and mastered by Mike Matessino from the original 3-track
session master, stored in great condition at Universal, and approved by
the composer. Williams’ original MCA Records album program, long
out-of-print on CD, is included on a second disc.
In this sequel, two
scuba divers go missing and two tourists are killed in a freak boat
explosion, and Martin Brody is convinced that yet another shark is
feeding in the waters off Amity. Brodys growing obsession leads to an
embarrassing outbursthe fires his gun at a school of fish in front of a
beach crowded with familiesbut when a group of sailing teenagers are
stalked by the shark, Brodys children Michael and Sean are among the
potential victims. Brody sets off in a police boat to do battle with
the new menace, eventually luring it to its death as it bites into a
massive electrical cable and explodes in a shower of sparks.
