Harvard group pays tribute to John Williams

Veteran music composer John Williams was honoured with a tribute performance by Harvard University's a capella group Din and Tonics.

The 85-year-old music producer, who visited the illustrious varsity to receive his honorary Doctor of Music degree on May 25, was in for a special musical treat, which consisted of his own compositions, reported People magazine.

The all-male group began a medley of some of Williams' classic compositions with the theme song to "Star Wars", which was followed by "Indiana Jones", "E T the Extra-Terrestrial", "Harry Potter", "Jaws" and "Superman".

To add humour to the otherwise serious performance, Din and Tonics threw in the Parseltongue language, shark shrieks, and a "Man of Steel" reveal theme.
 

On the work front, Williams is all set to return to work on "Star Wars: The Last Jedi".
