Across the Stars: Love Theme From Star Wars II Deluxe Score
|
Watch and Listen to a portion of Across the Stars featuring John Williams conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
Overview
"Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is the fifth film in George Lucas' series for which I've written the music. This installment of Mr. Lucas' far-reaching saga offered the unusual and very welcome opportunity to compose a love theme.
The classic love stories in literature invariably describe a forbidden relationship where the lovers are separated by family, cultural constraints of one kind or another, or religion. Our story is no exception in that Padme and Anakin are separated by rank and social status.
This time-honored tension presents the challenge of expressing love's exultation while simultaneously suggesting the grief and tragedy that separation would eventually bring.
Likewise, the title, "Across the Stars" suggests the timelessness of love eternal while dropping the hint that our lovers' knot might be ill-fated and "star-crossed."
As always, in matters of the heart, the outcome is time's own secret."
John Williams
