John Williams - Battle of the Heroes Signature Edition Orchestral Score

The Tragedy of the Fallen — Full Orchestral Score

John Williams composed Battle of the Heroes for the climactic duel of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005) — the shattering confrontation between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on the volcanic world of Mustafar. Driven by a relentless choral ostinato and surging orchestral forces, the piece is a tour de force of dramatic writing: furious, anguished, and deeply tragic. It stands as one of the most powerful and technically demanding pieces Williams has written for the Star Wars saga, and a thrilling centerpiece for any orchestral program.

This edition is part of the John Williams Signature Series — a prestigious collection of his most beloved film themes transcribed in full orchestral score order. Every note has been personally approved by Mr. Williams himself, making this the definitive edition for performance, study, and analysis.
