John Williams composed the film’s score, which earned him an Academy Award and was later ranked the sixth greatest score by the American Film Institute. The main “shark” theme, a simple alternating pattern of two notes became a classic piece of suspense music, synonymous with approaching danger. Williams described the theme as “grinding away at you, just as a shark would do, instinctual, relentless, unstoppable.”

The piece was performed by tuba player Tommy Johnson. When asked by Johnson why the melody was written in such a high register and not played by the more appropriate French horn, Williams responded that he wanted it to sound “a little more threatening”. Please note: The cover is not yet confirmed.
