My second favorite western of all time. (#1 is The Magnificent Seven). Great score by BB, but remember, thanks should go the Father.........Aaron Copland:)
Two of the best!
how it is that Mr. Broughton did not get more BIG assignments is more than distressing---it is criminal. He has absurdly talented chops---he is in a league of the best from Korngold and Steiner to Williams and Goldsmith.
He really made me realise that I have no musical talent at all😂
You can always tell a Broughton piece by the epic horn rips!
even if they are failed by the professional musician ON the recording. Can't believe they kept the crappy version of it
Perhaps my favorite soundtrack ever composed. Pure genius.
This is the finest Western movie theme in the history of the universe -- Mr. Broughton is a genius. BRAVO!!!
This is my favorite movie of all time. The soundtrack CD has been in my car (whatever car it was) for 20 years. I have seen the movie at least 150 times. A glorious production, and a timeless soundtrack.
Agreed that Broughton is extremely underrated. Between this, and his scores for "Tombstone," "Rescuers Down Under," and the criminally overlooked "The Boy Who Could Fly," Broughton should be getting as much work as Williams and Goldsmith got in their heyday.
His scores are great, but to think he deserves half the recognition John Williams has received is ridiculous. Not to mention John has written the scores to just about every memorable and is the second most nominated for an academy award behind Walt Disney. While "Tombstone" and "Rescuers a Down Under" are good movies they are not remembered for their scores. So, plainly put Bruce writes beautiful music but it doesn't compare to John Williams.
stargazer90363381 (um, care to finish your half-thoughts?)
stargazer90363381 (plus, I said nothing about getting the same recognition; I was talking about getting as many jobs)
When John is writing it is hard to find a job. That is because everyone wants the best. And unfortunately for Broughton he composed in an era already dominated by other composers.
stargazer90363381 Why is it ridiculous? John maybe the second most nominated composer but that also means he has the most losses of any composer. Just because Bruce doesn't get any opportunities to score lots of movies doesn't mean he's not qualified to receive equal recognition with John Williams since clearly he's a very talented composer.
oh my god. the beautiful french horn is melting me inside.
What, you mean the multitude of fracks at the beginning by a professionally paid musician? Cringy.
@@aa1bb2cc3dd4 you seem fun!
@@Agave310 yikes. I take personally what nobodys say to me. Oh wait.
My favorite all-time western. The music is just fantastic.
THOSE HORNS
Like the WOOF horns!
What do you mean? They messed up so hard.. They are paid a TON to JUST play music and they failed those rips hard. If one fails, they all fail- and they all failed.
Just watched this movie yesterday, I'd been wanting to see it since the director is none other than Lawrence Kasdan, the ingenious mind behind the screenplays for The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Glad I managed to catch it before it was pulled off Netflix, this one is a brutally underrated Western :) Fun-loving and full of heart, we need more movies like Silverado.
IL1KE2COMM3NT Kasdan also produced The Bodyguard which Costner starred in.
@@olentangy74 Kasdan directed Wyatt Earp released in June of 1994 after Silverado.
and R.I.P. Brian Manion Dennehy (July 9, 1938 - April 15, 2020)
Just one word, MAGNIFICENT........ Even more so, if you know the movie and it's locations........
HELL YEAH!! One of the greatest westerns ever. Filmed in the greatest locations. Magnificent!!! Missing NM something fierce!!
chills
LOVE the movie and the music. Very Americana!
You have done it, Sir Bruce Broughton. This time it was not other composers, this time it was you. You have managed to connect with the deepest of our souls and our hearts in a composition full of strength, greatness and passion and at the same time of tenderness and delicacy. The pure heart of the west shown to the world. Congratulations from our heart, Mr. Broughton. We wholeheartedly also congratulate you and admire you for all your work and your career. We also have an 8-year-old boy who is already a fervent fan of you!!! Thank you very much for all that you have given to humanity and may God preserve you for many years so that you can continue to enlighten the world with your compositions. ¡¡¡Thank you very...very much Mr. Broughton!!!
Wonderful, sublime, thank you very-very much to Mr. Broughton for create a masterpiece...Everything
in it breathes American West and when you listen to it is as if you could breathe that air
and contemplate those landscapes mounted on horseback with your
cowboy hat. BRAVO!.....Something else, a stellar orchestra up to the circumstances, touching perfection. This is one of the best versions, sure!.
Bruce Broughton's theme for Silverado is really powerful.
Simply marvelous! Love the heroic horns!
I love the strings. You guys and gals, you are awesome.
The string section is much louder than the original mix. Since this appears to be recorded by a single microphone in the audience it shows that it is the volume Bruce intended it to be. Strings have equal loudness as the horns and woodwinds. And I could not agree more. The countermelody the strings are playing throughout and especially at the end of the composition are the best ever recorded. It is unfortunately buried on the original soundtrack. Glad someone posted this.
I attended an awards ceremony a few years ago with the New West Symphony, in which Bruce Broughton was honoured. He made a new arrangement of this piece for piano and violin, and he played piano while his wife played the violin. It was pure magic!
His Wife is an amazing Violinist, she played in orchestras in both London and Los Angeles
@@iceomistar4302 Yes, she does! She plays beautifully! It was a true duet between them!❤
Usually I'm a "Spaggetti" Wester fan... but THIS film was an AMAZING well made Western film... and WHAT A THEME!!!!
Great to see this = something always added when the ACTUAL composer conducts his own work. Fans of Bruce should check out the fantastic work he did on many Dallas episodes in the early 1980's.
Magnificent, I found it even better than the original one from the film.
Sounds of cinematic Soundtracks as played by famous conductors are so near to originals Soundtracks....I can only thank them for so much Excellence!
We're playing this at C of O this semester. I'm 2nd chair clarinet. It's very difficult, but definitely beautiful. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like when we play it for the audience.
Difficult?? I don't play, but one can only imagine! Hope you were pleased with the performance!
tracypilot2002 Oh, I was. It went so well. I was bouncing in my seat while we were playing it. the entire orchestra looked like we were astride horses. Haha!
A masterpiece of film music. With influences and quotes,yes. But Bach, Beethoven and Brahms and Mozart are full with those, who cares after all this time. The final result is much better than the previous music that it quotes. Silverado should have won the oscar and still doesn't matter that it didn't. The composer Mr Broughton is a hero no matter what. It is an ingenious and timeless musical achievement and propells the film to the future in its own right. Mr Kasdan has formed something classic.
One of my all time favourite soundtracks, and I love the concert sound.
Absolutely delightful!
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww..fantasticcc..
And the brass section. Baritones...You guys are awesome!!!! Can't say anything better.
Baritones?!
Bloody masterpiece !!!!
Saw this movie today, abit confusing with the plot and characters but still a great movie and that theme..the moment I heard it, I fell in love :) its epic
Right there with the best Western film themes!
This thrills me to the marrow. Every single time.
Josh Young I couldn't agree more, Sir. One of my all time favorite flicks. I have seen it so many times I know the dialogue by heart. So many talented performers and priceless performances. My little girl was around four, I think, when this opened. Now she's 35. The music is impeccable. Stirring, resounding, as good as High Country and The Magnificent Seven.
Josh Young Roger that Josh. Just when I think I'm up to my eyeballs in bullshit I watch this.
Easily among the BEST film track scores EVER written,
shameful that it's mot up there with- john william's, Ennio Morriconi, Jerry Goldsmith, Basil Polidoris, as it deserves to be.
wonderful
Fantastic video. It's great to see Bruce Broughton conducting his most celebrated score.
Amazing!
The only way I would have changed this performance would be to start with the growling, brooding piano intro which led the soundtrack CD. I LOVE that opening and how it transitions to the main Silverado theme.
That said, Broughton, Vienna and Co. *COOK* this one PROPER! Outstanding!
Or ya know actually play the intro to the piece, which they completely ignored. They skipped the entire beginning.
This is wonderful! Absolutely beautiful!
Awesome I love this western great soundtrack with the wide open spaces
bruce broughton at its best.
"Well if i don't come back you can have my brother."
Fantastic music.. awesome movie..
OUTSTANDING!!!
Easily one of the greatest Western scores of all time in League with greats like the Magnificent Seven. The movie is also a wonderful Western giving us everything we would expect from a great and exciting Western film. An All-Star cast and unbelievable scenery acting and wonderfully cast!
My favorite movie and my favorite soundtrack. Reminds me of Aaron Copeland's Appalachian Spring.
A close second is Last of the Mohicans.
Love Bruce Broughton's French Horn writing. But definitely wouldn't want to try to play it!
Another great theme music from the most American type of movie...Westerns.
This guy blows John Williams out of the water 10 times over, argue me all you want you can not change my mind.
You haven’t heard The Cowboys Overture?
It takes an accomplished composer and director to deliver such an incredible sound. What an incredible delivery. Each one of you who were there should thank the God you believe in, that you were present.
Yes! A great moment in American music.
i know this is 5 months later.. but really, any professional orchestra doesn't even need a conductor standing there, they are capable of keeping and managing their own tempos... and he's the creator, and no one conducts perfectly. He has the choice to express the music his own way.
The downvotes are clearly Cobb and his gang. SMH 😧
We played this for marching band. I was a mellophone player and had to play those rips the French horn plays. Best song but really hard
A superb score for a superb movie by an amazing composer. BUT...if you'd like to see where he took this a few years later, contemporized it, and added a wonderful patriotic military aspect, just listen to the main theme here side by side with his theme for the TV series "JAG" and enjoy the comparison!
Nice, (Horns)
Always love his score. But nothing beats the American/London horn sound. Bigger and fatter and a lot.warmer.
Orchester Made in Austria👍🎺🎤💪
Horns at 4:24.....OMG :))))
This was of course the same year that Alan Silvestri had the night mainly devoted to his music, conducted by the proficient John Axelrod, and guest conducting the suite from Back to the Future. Reading some of the other comments, I too agree Broughton is an underrated composer, with many of his great pieces being overlooked, and especially this thrilling Western score. The applause at the end of this recital were weak in comparison to those given to Silvestri's works the same evening. I certainly don't put it down to quality of Broughton's calibre of scoring, nor the performance itself, but rather that probably for many in the audience, it would've been a new piece they were hearing for the first time, and it takes time to hear a piece, often a few times, to truly appreciate and love it. Such a shame. Such an underrated composer.
Aleks Damjanovic Actually this happened when they honored John Barry but sadly could not attend because he was ill.
ChuckRazor ah right I see, I must say I'm not too sure of the concert years and when they made their appearances. My confusion is obviously of 2011 then when they honoured Alan Silvestri. In a part of the footage just after he has conducted his suite from Back to the Future with the ORF RSO Wien, and returning to his seat in the audience, I see him return, and next to him is Bruce Broughton and Alastair King I see visible. I've obviously just assumed that was the same night Broughton performed. Clearly I was mistaken.
Nevertheless, I maintain what I said about Broughton being an under appreciated composer who isn't given the credit where credit's due.
Aleks Damjanovic Yes I'm also aware of that concert; Broughton was there because he unveiled his new Hollywood in Vienna Fanfare which used a lot of Max Steiner music from Casablanca and Gone With the Wind. But if you read this owner's description, it's stated that this happened back in 2009. That was the year they honored John Barry; you can tell by the various videos of John Barry's scores being performed on the same stage on this page. Nevertheless it was an easy mistake to made and I'm happy to hear more music from Broughton in the comedy series The Orville.
ChuckRazor I didn't know that. I've only watched the 2016 and 2017 concerts in their entirety, of previous I've only seen individual clips such as this one through the years,

Does anyone know where I can find sheet music?
@fmurphy55 Bernstein was prolific, and the Magnificent Seven theme is great, but to me the best musical scores provoke a strong emotional response. Each time I hear the Silverado theme I feel compelled to stop whatever I'm doing to listen. Too bad the other Bernstein never scored a Western -- THAT would have been something!
Horns
A Silverado sequel couldn't possibly be any dumber than the sequels we've had to endure these past couple of years. In fact I think it would be well received if it was even half way decent
I'm waiting for three white cowboys and one black cowboy to gallop in.
Windows 7 Commercial led me here.
Who's Broughton's orchestrator?
Where's the dog?
@toophunny This IS very good. Excellent in fact. But the 'finest western movie theme'? I think you are forgetting elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent 7.
All I did was kiss a girl!
🔥🔥🔥
Yes. Love the movies.

I find my comments deleted. FU! I loved this movie and the music is sublime. I'd like to know who the mfkr is that deletes my postings.
This sounds exactly like the movie soundtrack, including the absolutely disgustingly failed horn rips at the beginning. I hope that horn player was let go for that. How do you miss that easy fip like that? Also, why do they skip the intro for this piece? There are like 30 measures before this part that the soundtrack skips... idk why. It's a beautiful horn part.
My freshman year we had to play this and since I was a French horn it sucked. Great song, but hard as fuck to play.
Well Parker - "hard as **** to play" is exactly what makes a piece great! French horns are the soul of any orchestra - keep at it!
tracypilot2002 thanks for the support but I dropped band I was the weird kid and I wasn't that good either so I left but I've gotten more into music theory since then because I still appreciate the music I just didn't like the people I was stuck with.
Crude language. You can do better. Besides, whey call the piece a 'song' when it's an 'instrumental' work.
I am giving this the thumbs down. Not for the music, mind you, which is wonderful, but for the sloppy, underrehearsed performance -- wrong notes, sloppy intonation, missed entrances.
Fantastic !
