Giacchino’s score has resulted in a mantle full of awards including an Emmy, BMI, and two ASCAP awards. The majority of the composer’s early work was done for the video game industry which eventually lead to higher profile gigs with J.J. Abrams on Alias, and since then becoming a composer of choice at Pixar.
Star Wars is credited for awakening the composer within a young Giacchino. In the biographical section of the Honolulu Symphony’s press release, they say “He remembers listening to the Star Wars soundtrack as a kid, and being completely amazed at the way the music was telling a story. It was an instant awakening as to what the various instruments of an orchestra could accomplish.”
