Music Revision - Notes (ET)





Written by John Williams (1932)
It’s written in late romantic era
Rewritten as an orchestral suite
It’s the part in the film when ET and Elliot flee from the authorities and the bikes begin to fly
under ET’s power

Instrumentation

– full symphony orchestra (double woodwind, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani,

bells, suspended cymbals, piano, strings)

– much doubling of parts and few use of solo timbres or lighter textures - thick texture

Texture

quaver movement

main theme

octave jumps (17-24)
