Brilliant score...and the main theme so haunting. Very redolent of the Old West - you can hear the wild and the wildness in every note. Fabulous score - and historically pretty accurate as regards Earp and Holliday.
The Edge was 1997. I lived in Alaska 16 years, and that theme captures the height and panorama of mountain wilderness like no other - not even as well as Edelman and Jones Last of the Mohicans score.
I remember this movie was on TV some time in the early '90s, and I remember being grabbed by the track starting at around the 6 minute mark, which was titled "The Painted Desert". It made me go to my local record store and order the soundtrack. I listened to it a lot, then gave it away to a friend. I'm glad it's posted here. The melodies still haunt me occasionally, and it's great to be able to check in with the score here. Thanks. :-)
@@leostales2681 John Williams first, of course... Elmer Bernstein... and John Barry for "Dances With Wolves." Of course there are a few new emergents now... the ones who've done the Potter movies, Narnia/LOTR, and the new Trek...
Why composers in this country, since the 17th-18th century, cannot come up with something halfway descent without the aid of making something for the movies? Hard criticism? Think about why the radio stations only play the old masters, unless one or two things from Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, and Scott Joplin.
This soundtrack, Papillion, Alien, and Planet of the Apes are my personal favorites among the many soundtracks from Goldsmith.
Film music does not get much better than this. I miss Jerry Goldsmith.
Many classic westerns...he also scored Bandelero.
I love this music. Very dramatic. Goes well with the film.
One of the best western scores ever!
We are fortunate that Jerry Goldsmith shared his gifts with us.
What would film 'tracks be without him? One shudders to contemplate...
May we be blessed that he used all of his gifts of music with all of us!
One of Goldsmith's best, and that's saying something!
Only Jerry Goldsmith could come up with an this awesome score.
Good movie... And great Score right in the beginning of the Film.

The problem with real life is there is no background music. Epic score of a violent time.
I have watched this movie on Encore twice in recent days, for both the music and the actors.
That is one violent-sounding xylophone!
5:54 Brings chills up my spine.
what a shame jerry left us in 2004, a great composer whos best work was in the 1960s and 1970s
mike sym He also had some great works in the 80's and 90's too.

Don't forget The Mummy!

This is really great! It made the film so much better, so much more powerful!
Good Taste "David".
As in "King David" < .

Sounds great, I can't hear enough :)
Great music
bit of Elmer Bernstein in Jerry Goldsmith theme
Extraordinaria partitura del mítico y añorado Jerry Goldsmith
Will we every see his like again ?
Goldsmith: Bandalero, Rio Conchos, also Capricorn One and Outland, last 2 not westerns but great nonetheless.
Another of his western scores that was great Breakheart Pass.
I want this arranged and performed for DCI
You think this is something(which it is). Listen to The Blue Max...you’ll swear you’re flying after 10 minutes.
Only three other film composers have ever done Majestic the way Jerry did.
Which three?

@@chrisj2539 I agree with your top 3 composers.
