John  Williams is an American composer, conductor and pianist. In a career that has spanned seven decades, he has composed some of the most popular, recognisable and critically acclaimed film scores in cinema history. His compositions are often considered the epitome of orchestral film music and he is considered among the greatest composers of all time. Williams is most well-known for his collaborations with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas but he has worked with many diverse directors. He has a very distinct sound that mixes romanticism, impressionism and atonal music with complex orchestration.

One piece of music that we have learned about this term was the main theme of the film Home Alone.
