You know you made it as a composer when your composition is played by the Danish National Orchestra.

[@giaccommander7474]

I don´t know about that, but for me, you have made it as an composer if you spark tears of joy with me... Wonderful composition.

[@the_quadracorn]

I'd say you know you've made it as a composer when you're working on Star Wars, the franchise with the most revered music in cinema history.

Well I mean, the composer of that song was actually from Sweden! And Denmark and Sweden are fairly close.

[@City-Hunter]

When Hitman 47 voiceactor opens up with "This is the way" you know it will be good.

[@warsstar]

Yes, John Williams created an incredible music, almost impossible music, for Star Wars. Rogue One hinted at what Star Wars music without John Williams can sound like, feel like, but it did not stray to far from the original template. With The Mandalorian, for the whole 2 series, Ludwig Goransson truly did the impossible : create a brand new musical signature that is sooo Star Wars, that is so right for the series, and yet that has its own identity and does not just riff of John Williams music.

[@THEPELADOMASTER]

What is and isn't star wars is such a nebulous concept, but there's something to it that when you see/hear it you know. This is Star Wars.

[@envo2199]

you should listen the music from Knights of the Old Republic, like the main menu theme, i think this music has inspiration from that game, so it is actually not a "new genre" inside the star wars world.
