The Music of Star Wars at Victoria Symphony




“Rest, laughter and music 
return resiliency to my soul
stirring words of creative intent once more.”These words ending my post last evening encompassed how The Music of Star Wars affected my heart and soul. With friends, yesterday afternoon, I shared in the performance of this grand music by the Victoria Symphony. Playing to a full house the Victoria Symphony, with the Vox Humana Chamber Choir, entertained us with selections from the soaring music of the Star Wars movies, Star Trek, Battlestar Gallactica, Avatar and The Last Starfighter. The Victoria Symphony led by Conductor Sean O’Loughlin opened with the 20th Century Fanfare. A most appropriate way to introduce this glorious movie music. Vox Humana Chamber Choir, in select compostions, added another excellent layer to the music. It was so wonderful to listen to these marvellous scores with out the distraction of pictures and drama. Today I watched a part of one of the Star Wars movies and could not discern, as I did yesterday, the depth and breadth of this impressive music.


“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, 
flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
~ Plato
