Known for its instantly recognizable two-note “Main Title (Theme From Jaws)” associated with the shark, Williams’ score was first heard by audiences when the Universal Pictures film directed by Steven Spielberg opened in theaters on June 20, 1975. The soundtrack was initially released on vinyl in 1975, followed by CD on April 21, 1992.

Among many accolades, Jaws received three Academy® Awards, including one for Williams’ original score, plus a Golden Globe® for original score and a GRAMMY® Award for “Best Soundtrack for Visual Media.” The American Film Institute named it #6 among “The 25 Greatest Film Scores of All Time.”

Retrospectively, Collider professed, “The Jaws score didn’t just enhance the monster, it IS the monster,” and The Hollywood Reporter cited it as “one of the most memorable themes in film history.” Vanity Fair summed it up as ”dread-filled,” and Consequence of Sound plugged it at #3 among “The 10 Most Iconic John Williams Film Scores,” going on to state, “Jaws on paper is an unsettling movie – John Williams helped make it viscerally terrifying with two notes.” RogerEbert.com attested, “There is no question that Williams’ insidious theme is the most indispensable element of Jaws.”
