Student Composer - John Williams´s harmony.

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. John Williams's harmony is a wonderful subject to study. His scores often use bold, unexpected chord changes and shifts between keys to create a sense of wonder and adventure.

A great exercise is to transcribe a short passage from one of his themes and look at how the harmony moves under the melody. What did you discover in your study? Please share in our Composers forum.
