On this special May the 4th, let’s appreciate the genius of John Williams, whose Star Wars music never fails to excite. First, the bone-chilling Imperial March, conducted by Mr. Williams himself.

Then, speaking of the Force/4th, “The Force Theme,” translates especially well to piano. See it elegantly played and visualized by Patrik Pietschmann.

If Star Wars music really speaks to your heart, enjoy “Star Wars in Het Concertgebouw” a full-length concert performed by the Netherlands Philharmonic.
