Star Wars - Imperial March was written by John Williams, composed in 1979 for the film Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Subtitled "Darth Vader's Theme", it is a symphonic march for full orchestra that serves as a leitmotif for Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire throughout the Star Wars franchise. The Imperial March has become one of the most iconic pieces of film music, frequently performed in concert and widely used in popular culture as a musical symbol of ominous power and villainy.
