E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial: Music from the Original Soundtrack
E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial: Music from the Original Soundtrack is an album containing John Williams' score for the award-winning 1982 Steven Spielberg movie of the same name. The movie tells the story of a lonely boy who befriends an extraterrestrial, called "E.T.". The music conveys a mystic, dreamlike, and heroic quality; and Williams use of instruments such as the harp, piano, celesta, and percussion suggests E.T.'s childlike nature. John Williams won two Grammy Awards and a BAFTA for the score; and in 2005, the American Film Institute ranked the soundtrack as the fourteenth greatest American movie score of all time.
