John Williams – The Flag Parade (HD)

This is the BGM used in the flag parade scene.

It plays when Qui-Gon Jinn and his party arrive on the planet Tatooine.

The bold sound of horns resounds, evoking the desolate landscape of the desert.

Although it is numbered as Episode I, it is the fourth film released.

Hedwig’s ThemeJohn Williams77rank/position

Hedwig's Theme [Recorder] from the movie Harry Potter • With Do-Re-Mi Sheet Music

Released in 2001 as the main theme of the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, this piece has become beloved worldwide as the musical emblem of the entire series.

The mysterious melody composed by John Williams, paired with the timbre of the celesta, creates an enchanting atmosphere that feels like opening a door to the magical world, instantly evoking the world of Hogwarts.

The piece is characterized by a gentle melody in triple meter.

The minor-tinged melodic line can easily cause notes to flip, so caution is needed; however, once you get used to the fingering, the recorder’s simple tone will produce a magic-like resonance.

If you and your friends divide into melody and accompaniment parts, you can express an even grander magical world!

Lord Vader, enters the sceneJohn Williams78rank/position

Enter Lord Vader (Track 11)

It was used in the scene where Anakin Skywalker falls to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader.

The heroic music gradually fills with foreboding, and ultimately gets swallowed up by Darth Vader’s theme.

Yoda’s ThemeJohn Williams79rank/position

Star Wars: Yoda’s Theme from The Empire Strikes Back CD 2, Track 2!

I thought he was just a selfish little old man, but he turned out to be the great Jedi Master Yoda.

This symphony perfectly suits such a character—both cute and majestic—making it a joy to listen to.

The second installment released in theaters.

Little PeopleJohn Williams80rank/position

John Williams: The Little People [Star Wars]

In Star Wars IV, if you can recognize the scene just by hearing this piece, you must be quite the connoisseur.

The title “The Little People” is a hint.

That’s right—it’s the theme of the Jawas, those small creatures whose appearance under their hoods you can’t help but wonder about.

This mysteriously quirky and charming tune suits them perfectly.
