Hymn to the Fallen (Saving Private Ryan)
by John Williams
Grade 4 | 5 Mins
In his foreword to the published orchestral score of Hymn to the Fallen, John Williams writes:
“Saving Private Ryan is certainly one of Steven Spielberg’s most powerful films. The accumulative effect of his great photography and the splendid performances contained in the film combine to produce a jolting emotional impact, particularly in the closing moments of the movie.
