Description

Joel McNeely, who succeeded Williams for the television series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, was the logical choice here as well. Employing signature themes and motifs from Williams' original Star Wars score - arguably the most beloved and influential movie music of the late 20th century - McNeely vividly captures the power and majesty one expects from the series, thanks in large part to the epic performance of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a 1996 multimedia project created by Lucasfilm. The idea was to create a story set between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and to explore all commercial possibilities of a full motion picture release without actually making a film.

Shadows of the Empire is the best example of Star Wars music (mostly) not composed by John Williams. It also gives an interesting glimpse into the world of Star Wars before the prequels came out. So give Shadows a listen, and be dazzled by an interesting and older take on a galaxy far, far away. But what is done best by Joel McNeely and the orchestra is that they weren't afraid to push things in different directions and wisely so, for as the composer himself notes in the liners of the album jacket, Williams scores are considered something of a hallowed tradition and to alleviate the pressure of having to live up to, or risk damaging a. flawless score, he decided to venture elsewhere. And as listeners we have all benefitted from this choice.
