    Muta1206 Saxophone Star Wars Medley

    Meet Muta1206. Muta specializes in saxophone overlays of anything from classical music to jazz to pop/rock to video games to genres I’ve never even heard of. To be clear, he plays all the parts of the arrangements himself. And his dogs love it. Here, to get you in the mood for the Oscars, is his performance of a medley from the “Star Wars” films (including “The Force Awakens”). “Star Wars,” of course, was named Best Original Score of 1977.

    Yet again, many thanks must go out to John Williams. Has there been another composer of the last 40 years who has done more to get young people interested in music?

    May the 4th Star Wars Day History & Celebration

    May the Fourth be with you! That’s right, it’s May 4th – International Star Wars Day. It sneaks up on me every year, until I see some 40 year-old walking around in a Jedi cloak. Believe it or not, it’s Margaret Thatcher – the Iron Lady herself – you can thank for it.

    John Williams will begin scoring the new film, “SW: The Force Awakens,” next month. Whatever the result (I’m still smarting from the prequel trilogy), I am looking forward to the soundtrack. Williams never disappoints when it comes to this brand of fantasy. He is last in the line. The best composers of Hollywood’s Golden Age live on through him.
