  Towering themes are the tradition of the Hollywood Western. With this music you can breathe the air of the wild prairie, marvel at the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and sample some of the frontier salon bar music.

The beauty and grandeur of Utah is the music for "Walking Thunder" The score abounds with impressive themes in the Western pioneering tradition. There is an authentic Indian chant built into part of the score. Music drifts out of the frontier bars and the campfires. A moving epic Western Movie Score.

Starring : John Denver

 

   
   
 
The North Star.mp3
jscd 120    The North Star
 

1899. The Gold Rush. "The North Star" is an epic story of gold fever, starring Christophe Lambert (a half-breed) and James Caan (a ruthless murderer). The music is sweeping, majestic and filled with suspense.

This is a hard core action adventure score in the Western genre. It tells of the greed of the white invaders violating the Indian’s sacred places. Some of John Scott’s most exciting and bizarre music is incorporated into this score. The main theme is of monumental proportion. There are some wonderfully tender moments. There is also some spine chilling orchestration as McLennon, the real bad baddie, descends into madness.

Starring : Christophe Lambert, James Caan

 

 

 
 
Time of the Wolf.mp3
jscd 130    Time of the Wolf
 

Rudyard Kipling is the author of this classic adventure set in the jungles of India. The score is rich with themes for each of the animal characters as well as the goodies and baddies. The "Law of the Jungle" theme is noble and classically imposing with a definite flavor of the Indian subcontinent. The Lost City is full of mystery and foreboding, while Mowgli’s theme is full of inquisitive excitement. Baloo, the bear, Timo, the monkey, Kaa, the python, and Shere Khan, the tiger all have their own distinctive themes.

Starring : Burt Reynolds, Marthe Keller
