Darth Vader's Theme vs. Beethoven

[petzl]

Talk about a beautiful mind…

[miasm]

If only this music had wafted from Vader’s meditation pod in ‘Empire’!

[L_Mariachi]

Appropriate, considering the fate of the Death Stars and Lord Vader himself.

[Kimmo]

I’m suddenly reminded of this.

I think he stole the Emperor’s theme from Holst.

Thanks for posting that Allegro non Troppo segment. I’ve seen it many times, and the ending still has me in tears Every Darned Time.

(Kathy Mar’s song Little Green Eyes tells a very similar story. I haven’t had a chance to ask whether it was inspired by the AnT piece.)
