Across the Stars: Williams’ Violin Arrangement for Anne-Sophie Mutter
John Williams may be leaving Star Wars after the next installment, but before that he’s brought us another gift.
«Across the Stars» is the love theme from Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones, and Williams has written a new arrangement of it for Grammy-award winning violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, according to the John Williams Fan Network. Mutter has a whole collection of Williams’ classics coming out in 2019.
The motif accompanies Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala’s love story, the reinterpretation replacing the solo oboe part for Mutter’s just-as-moving violin.
