Description:
In a story about friendly extraterrestrial visitors, John Williams' music captures the anticipation and excitement of this blockbuster movie, including the signature five-note motif used to communicate with the alien guests. The fact that this is one of Mr. Williams' favorite Spielberg films clearly comes across in this unique and masterful soundtrack.
