Jurassic Park is the twelfth project on which John Williams worked with Steven Spielberg. The soundtrack was released on 20th May 1993.
There are two major melodic ideas. The first and main one that is heard most frequently, is known simply as the 'Theme from Jurassic Park' and is introduced when the visitors first see the Brachiosaurus. Another theme 'Journey to the Island' takes the form of a noble fanfare first heard as the helicopter approaches Isla Nublar.
Both your orchestra and your audience will enjoy this piece.
All the titles in the Full Orchestra series have been placed in a practical, accessible format which can be performed by school orchestras with confidence.
