The emergence of John Williams in the film music of the 1990s 70, and especially his score for star wars (1977), they will change the concept of soundtrack. To lightness and touches “clubbers” of the scores from the beginning of that decade, a symphony of large orchestras will be returned that refers to that of the years 30 and musicians like Steiner and Korngold who will move on to new talents like Bruce Broughton (The secret of the pyramid), James Horner (Braveheart), o Alan Silvestri (Forrest Gump). Parallel to this recovery, other trends will emerge, like electronic music applied in cinema, with Vangelis (chariots of fire), or the minimalist current, con Michael Nyman (The draftsman's contract). A new generation of musicians will join, y Howard Shore, with the scores of Lord of the Rings, will mark a turning point in cinematographic composition.
