Understanding The Imperial March

There's a new Star Wars movie coming out soon, so we're looking at my favorite piece from the original trilogy: Darth Vader's theme, also known as the Imperial March. It's iconic, dramatic, and stunningly complex, blending urgent rhythms with powerful, stately melodies and some pretty fascinating chord choices to create a piece of music that tells you everything you need to know about who Darth Vader is without a single word.
