John Williams Lincoln Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

If you've seen any American movies over the last forty years, chances are you've heard a John Williams score. A quick name check of films you're sure to recognize includes Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, ET, Schindler's List and Harry Potter, but his output has been prolific, to say the least. During his six decade career he has become one of Hollywood's most celebrated soundtrack composers. He has also lent his talent to television and has composed the music for four Olympic Games. He has won five Academy Awards and has been nominated 45 times.

He was born in 1932 in New York. His musical talent was evident from a young age and when he was drafted into the army, he conducted and arranged music for the Air Force Band. After his service he studied at the celebrated Juilliard School. His career as a film composer started as soon as he finished his studies and continues to this day.
