About "Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Main Theme / When You Wish Upon a Star" by John Williams
Five tones, a greeting to the cosmos, then a starry wish. Williams braids his own Close Encounters motif with 'When You Wish Upon a Star'—sci-fi awe meeting Disney longing. The result is a handshake between wonder and melancholy, synthesizer and orchestra, the unknown made briefly tender.
