John Towner Williams (born February 8, 1932 in New York City) is one of the most widely recognized composers of film scores.
From 1980 to 1993, Williams was the principal conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra.
Williams, being the most prominent composer in North America, has also composed the official theme for all four Olympic Games held on the continent in the last 26 years.
JohnWilliams should need little introduction since he is almost certainly the most well-known film composer, and possibly to many people the best-known composer, period.
Williams' music is firmly from the classical tradition, based heavily on the style of the late-romantics such as Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss.
Williams is rightly well-regarded for his ability to construct a tune and sound which perfectly complements the mood of a film.
