Elmer Bernstein: The Magnificent Seven -- Royal Symphonic Wind Band Vooruit

Royal Symphonic Wind Band Vooruit, Harelbeke conducted by Erik Desimpelaere
Although the American Elmer Bernstein (1922-2004) started
his musical career as pianist, in 1950 he was asked to write the
music for a new film production by Columbia Pictures. Now,
more than 50 years later he has become an icon in the film industry,
having written pieces for over 150 movies and television
series and having been awarded multiple times.
One of his best known and successful compositions is the one
he wrote for ‘The Magnificent Seven’. In this Western, seven
adventurers have to save a little Mexican village from a group
of looters. Bernstein explained that he was looking for a powerful
rhythm which he associated with the atmosphere of the
Wild West. During a drive in the Californian plains suddenly
the main theme revealed itself to him. One of the most popular
melodies ever written was born.

My favorite movie theme music ever. I remember seeing the movie with McQueen, Brynner, Bronson, Coburn, et al, when I was around 10 years old. Loved the music then and it was one of the first pieces I learned on my own on the trombone when I was 13, and in Jr. high band. This is an absolutely spectacular performance.

[@gurudutt5941]

I wouldn't mind waiting all my life for magnificent 8/9/---even 10. So pure music, gone are those days

I played this song at a youth orchestra with a bunch of kids (I’m a young kid too!)and I find it so funny that kids can play just as well as grownups

[@hunterdale3186]

FANTASTIC!

I make me feel like I was watching the movie listening to this music.

[@edwinli590]

This theme song reminds me about the movie and the great stars starring in the movie.

The greatest western soundtrack in the history of the world. Best line in the movie?... "We don't want the man with the scar, we want the man that have him that scar" .

The movie and the song came out when America was at it's peak. Today's movies are so bad that nobody bothers to watch the Oscars.

[@chologravador7520]

Who arrange the piece for band? Very impressive

[@윤홍석-h8j]

이 곡을 이렇게 완벽하게 연주하는 팀 처음 봅니다.

[@xroqus]

KZbin hosts several versions - notably with strings without tympani. One realizes the raw masculinity of the original and its laceration through softening, dilution, and timidity.

[@algoy001]

I think it depends on if it,s a symphonic string orchestra or a wind orchestra, who is interpreting this wonderful song

[@VictorRodriguez-fy3eb]

Me entriztece que una obra de arte tenga pocos likes Les aseguro que si fuera el inútil de Maluma reventaría de likes

Please who is author of the arrangement and where is possible to buy it? Thank you for your answer!
