To celebrate the release of 'Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens,' YourClassical's Movies stream is playing nothing but Star Wars music on Dec. 18.

In another holiday edition of Flicks in Five, Lynne Warfel looks at the music and lyrics from the 1970 musical retelling of the Charles Dickens classic, 'A Christmas Carol'.

John Williams wrote and (mostly) conducted the music for the new 'Star Wars' film -- except for the iconic opening title and closing credits music, which was conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.

John Williams provides a sentimental and lovely score to accompany the screwball comedy about a kid left alone at home at Christmastime. On this week's Flicks in Five, Lynne Warfel shares music from 'Home Alone'.

On this week's Flicks in Five, we'll hear some of Alan Silvestri's beautiful score for The Polar Express, based on an award-winning children's book by Chris Van Allsburg.

The first movie to be shot on location at the Macy's Day Parade in New York City, 'Miracle on 34th Street' was also the first major vehicle for then-child star Natalie Wood.

Howard Shore's Oscar-winning score to 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' features different types of artists: actor Viggo Mortensen, flutist James Galway, soprano Renee Fleming and vocalist Annie Lennox can all be heard in the music. Hear some of Shore's music on this week's Flicks in Five.

This 1969 romantic comedy features Jack Lemmon, Catherine Deneuve, Sally Kellerman and a wonderful supporting cast. The film's title tune proved a big hit for composer Burt Bacharach, finding its way onto radio as well as into restaurants and department stores. Hearing it on this week's Flicks in Five may jog your memory.

We recently lost one of the great stars of the 'Golden Era' -- Maureen O'Hara. On this week's Flicks in Five, Lynne Warfel looks at the career of this famously red-headed actress, and shares music from one of her John Wayne collaborations, 'The Quiet Man'.

It's almost time for Halloween! And this week on Flicks in Five, Lynne Warfel takes a timely look at the work of British actor William Henry Pratt -- better known as Boris Karloff.
