I know it's confusing, but if you've turned up here as the result of a web search and expect to find anything about the composer of the music for Star Wars, Jaws, Harry Potter, et al, you're in the wrong place. Go here instead. This page is devoted to guitarist John Williams' contributions to film and TV soundtracks, of which there have been many.
