cliff edwards
the score for the film was composed, conducted and produced by john williams, who had previously worked on spielberg's "jaws". williams wrote over 300 examples of the iconic five-tone motif for "close encounters"—the five tones are used by scientists to communicate with the visiting spaceship as a mathematical language—before spielberg chose the one incorporated into the film's signature theme. spielberg called williams' work "when you wish upon a star meets science fiction". incidentally, williams briefly included the song's signature melody in the score at spielberg's behest, just before roy neary turns to board the mothership. spielberg initially included cliff edwards' original "when you wish upon a star" from "pinocchio" in the closing credits, but after a dallas preview where several members of the audience audibly snickered at the inclusion, the song was dropped and replaced with williams' orchestral version of it. the score was recorded at warner bros. studios in burbank, california.
