Joel McNeely (b. 1959) is a music composer for movies and television.
Biography
Joel McNeely was born in Madison, Wisconsin. Both of his parents were musicians, and as a child he played the piano, the saxophone, and the flute. He attended the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, learned jazz at the University of Miami, and applied for a masters degree as a writing major at the Eastman School of Music.
Lucasfilm chose McNeely to compose the soundtrack to the 1996 Star Wars novel Shadows of the Empire. This was an experimental project where he conveyed general moods and themes instead of writing music to flow for specific scenes.
