A black and white photo of Elmer Bernstein conducting the orchestra during the recording session of his score for the film THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL (1965)

🧵
The magnificent Elmer Bernstein was BOTD in 1922 (d. 2004)
A five decade career with over 100 films scored, he's one of the most important and influential Hollywood film composers of the 20th century.

That funky synth bass wasn't the only option for this scene in #TheOMEN we've restored the unused #JerryGoldsmith cue — "The Dog" — for comparison. It also fits when #Damien waves at the #Rottweiler later. Which do YOU prefer? #TheOmen50 #50thAnniversary #filmscore #filmscores #soundtrack #filmscore

(tap for more) A huge gorilla is breaking through the enormous wooden gates of a village in Africa, sending the inhabitants running in terror. A scene from the film KING KONG (1933). #filmsky filmsky #moviesky moviesky #musicsky musicsky #music music composers

But there's no debate over the most significant original film score of the early sound era: Max Steiner's groundbreaking work on KING KONG (1933). This is where the modern film score originates, including timing, spotting, and thematic "leitmotif" cues.

THE COLOR PURPLE (1985) | "Razor Looks Dull" | Score by Quincy Jones A scene from the 1985 film THE COLOR PURPLE with score by Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones #BOTD never won a single competitive Oscar. Not one.
He should have. For THE COLOR PURPLE (1985).
Brilliant score, and one of his finest works.
This one scene captures it perfectly.
