THE POWER OF THREE: Track Thirteen

Song: You Are the Pan
Composer: John Williams
Album: Hook OST
Quote: John Williams

The three greatest movie score composers of our age team up in THE POWER OF THREE! John Williams, James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith at their very best in fifteen different movies spanning back to 1980. Buckle Up.

For John Williams' final song on THE POWER OF THREE I have something quite special for you all. I already put this song up on THE INNER LIGHT, which was made years before THE POWER OF THREE, but I felt it really belonged on this Mix as well. I'm also rather fond of the blurb I wrote for it the first time, so here it is again....

My family got its first CD player for Christmas in 1991. And the very first CD I ever owned was the soundtrack to Hook. That alone should tell you all you need to know about me. Needless to say, I've been a movie score man all of my life. And in the end, I suppose it all comes down to one song. THIS song. John Williams is without a doubt one of the most accomplished film composers ever, along with Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner (God rest their talented souls). From Superman, to Indiana Jones, E.T., Jaws, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, the list of his famous works is practically endless, and many of them are featured on this channel. Hook is probably one of his lesser known scores - the movie did alright back in the day, but never achieved the superstar status of other Spielberg movies. However, for me, the score to Hook is one of his most powerful, and this song is the greatest of them all. Childlike wonder and beautiful innocence combine to create a melody capable of softening the hardest of hearts. It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest musical compositions ever created.
