Here are some excerpts from the soundtrack for “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind”, the 1977 film directed by Steven Spielberg starring Richard Dreyfuss and scored by John Williams. Putting aside the disco-style rendition of the movie’s signature five-note melody included in the single-sided 7″ record that came with the original pressing of the soundtrack album, the music for “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind” is considered some of John Williams’ most complex and modernistic writing approach.
