A Note From The Composer
When producer George Korngold told me of his plans to present music from all three Star
Wars films on one record, I was particularly pleased.
I was gratified because this record will mark the first time the music will appear in one
collection, and secondly because it will be presented by the very fine Utah Symphony
Orchestra which I have admired for such a long time.
The scores of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return
of the Jedi were composed over a period of seven years — and I have tried while
working over this long period to write music the parts of which would eventually form one
unified whole.
I thank Maestro Kojian for bringing together his forces to present an idea that I have
hoped would be realized since the earliest days of my work on The Star Wars Trilogy.
John Williams
Hollywood, August 1983
