In 2014, author, film studies academic, and film musicologist Emilio Audissino published the first edition of his book THE FILM MUSIC OF JOHN WILLIAMS.
In 2021, the book’s second edition was published. While focusing on John Williams’ music and career by analyzing the composer’s approach to writing music, the book also discussed three significant film scores in Williams’ filmography: JAWS, DRACULA, and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
In early June 2024, Jason Drury had the pleasure of speaking with Emilio via Zoom at Linnaeus University, Sweden, where he was an Associate Professor. To commemorate the book’s tenth anniversary, they discussed its origins and delved into John Williams’ musical career, featuring music from many of the composer’s most memorable scores.
