John Williams – The Fabelmans | The Fabelmans (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans was released in November 2022.

The music was composed by John Williams, the composer who has partnered with Spielberg on numerous classics.

The film also marks the 50th anniversary of their collaboration.

The main theme, The Fabelmans, was recorded as a solo piano piece, and its warm sound—capturing even the surrounding air unique to acoustic instruments—is especially appealing.

STAR WARS Duel of the Fates

Since 2014, pop music has also been permitted for figure skating programs, but it still feels like classical music predominates, image-wise.

Even those who aren’t very interested in classical music often find themselves suddenly captivated when a familiar piece or a pop song comes on.

Many of you have probably heard the piece Duel of the Fates.

It’s one of the famous tracks from the movie Star Wars.

At the 2022 Beijing Olympics, France’s Adam Siao Him Fa used a remix of this piece together with the well-known Darth Vader theme, The Imperial March, for his short program.

The tense atmosphere that plays during battle scenes—those edge-of-your-seat moments—really makes your palms sweat, doesn’t it?
