[edita] Biografia
L'any 1948 John Williams i la seva fam??lia s'instalaren a Los Angeles, on ingress?? a la Universitat de Calif??rnia Los Angeles. A m??s estudi?? composici?? amb Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco que tamb?? va ser mestre d'un altre gran compositor de bandes sonores, Jerry Goldsmith.
Despr??s del seu servei militar a les Forces A??ries, torn?? a Nova York i ingress?? a la famosa Julliard School, una de les m??s prestigioses escoles de musica dels Estats Units, amb alumnes tan famosos com Philip Glass i Itzhak Perlman, on reb?? classes de piano de Rosina Lhevinne. A Nova York treball?? com a pianista de jazz.
L'any 1956 ingressava a la Twentieth Century Fox com a pianista en la seva orquestra d'estudi, tocant sota la direcci?? de Jerry Goldsmith i Elmer Bernstein entre d'altres. En aquest per??ode, ???comen??a la seva primera experi??ncia com a compositor per a populars espectacles de TV durant els anys 1960, incloent-hi Gilligan's Island, Wagon Train, i especialment Lost in Space i Land of the Giants per al productor Irwin Allen.
El seu primer ??xit a la gran pantalla arribava el 1967, quan era nominat a l'Oscar per la seva banda sonora per al drama de Mark Robson Valley of the Dolls. Des d'aquell moment, la carrera de Williams s'an?? consolidant pel??l??cula rere pel??l??cula, catapultant-lo a la part superior de la jerarquia de la m??sica de cinema, una posici?? des de la qual s'ha aguantat des de mitjans de la d??cada del 1970.
Els seus temes s'han introdu??t veritablement en el coneixement del p??blic d'una manera que pocs altres compositors han aconseguit. Ha atret talents cl??ssics com Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor i Christopher Parkening per a treballar amb ell en les seves bandes sonores, i fins i tot ha trobat temps per escriure peces cl??ssiques, m??sica de concert per als Jocs Ol??mpics, i dirigeix orquestres a tot el m??n.
