The Comancheros | Soundtrack Suite (Elmer Bernstein)

[@lawrenceclemens8494]

Elmer Bernstein, one of the greatest composers ever to write for the screen. What a talent. This is one of his best, a memorable, superb score.

[@michaelquillen2679]

Starting around the time I was in 5th grade, I loved Elmer Bernstein and wanted to become a composer for film scores. Years later, while in college, I found out that I would have starved as as film score composer (too slow). Oh well, I became a pretty good arranger of custom arrangements for the bands I taught as a public school band director. However, one composition (a rhapsody) I did for concert band, my favorite, was greeted by my collogues with most saying (in not a complimentary tone), "Sounds like something from a John Wayne movie." I was pleased!

[@elkobit7415]

One off the best movie scores ever made. It still contributes to my daily hapiness. Thank you Elmer Bernstein for your greatness!

[@maryannesteinberger7652]

You can say that about so many of Elmer’s scores. And all are very different. (To Kill a Mockingbird was his.)

[@johnnorvell6458]

[@Redwhiteblue-gr5em]

I just listened to it and the tears did start flowing. I thought of seeing this movie as a child in a huge theater and with this music blaring. So nostalgic and made me think of a happier time.

[@Wiseask313]

@@thomascampbell4730 You’re right. Zulu was a great film of an actual historical event, marking Michael Caine’s 1964 screen debut, with a stirring musical score by John Barry, a veteran of the James Bond films. I suspect like a number of other films which portrayed blacks as primitives, Zulu won’t be aired anytime soon in this day and age, though the film intended to show them (and did in fact show them) as proud warriors.

Two of the Dukes children had roles in this movie. Patrick and the little girl is his daughter Aissa. I love the scene where he holds her and she is playing with his scarf and looking so comfortable in his arms. No wonder, how sweet to be playing on the set with her father! I fell in love with Stuart Whitman in this movie. He was so handsome and dashing. He went on to star in Cimarron Strip which to this day is one of the best Western TV shows.

[@chrisj2539]

A great pity CS only lasted one season. However, DVDs...!!

[@sherlocksharp7736]

When you think how prolific and diverse Bernstein was over his career, it's extremely impressive. From a western like the Comancheros to his orchestral work on the Heavy Metal soundtrack or films like Ghostbusters. One thing they all have in common, is that Bernstein's contributions provide the emotional and atmospherical impact that is, for all of them, definitive.

[@maryannesteinberger7652]

Don’t forget his score for To Kill a Mockingbird. Shows Elmer’s limitless range.

[@leeclark4495]

Great score and movie! While hanging by their wrists, Whitman says to Wayne: "You should think of a new plan Jake, this one didn't work out so well." Wayne responds, "the hell it didn't, we found the hideout didn't we?" Whitman says, "Yeah, I wonder if they know how much trouble they're in."

[@maryannesteinberger7652]

For something completely different: To Kill a Mockingbird was his.

[@Blbbbb]

One of the most uplifting and beautiful songs written.

[@jslasher1]

Elmer was the master when it came to composing scores for Westerns.

[@biged8290]

Oh so right !!

[@AJNorth]

True. And yet, Bernstein's range was quite remarkable - from his breakthrough score for Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" (1956) and his jazzy score for Otto Preminger's "The Man with the Golden Arm" (1956), to his wistful and nostalgic Coplandesque score for Robert Mulligan's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962) and his fun score (with some truly moving cues) for Ida Lupino's "The Trouble with Angels" (1966).

[@josephvitielo1693]

Tiomkin was great also

[@Autostade67]

Elmer was the master - reinventing the style several times over - and each time a treat. But don't hesitate to checkout his comrades also from the East who also helped to define the West: Jerome Moross with his iconic theme (and score) for 'The Big Country' (and the T.V. series 'wagon Train'), John Williams lovely 'The Rare Breed', and Jerry Goldsmith, whose string of pastiche Western scores is the mid to late 60s is highlighted most notably by 'Hour of the Gun' and 'Rio Lobo'.

[@maryannesteinberger7652]

Sadly, Jerome Moross never got the recognition he so richly deserved.

[@pamela1952]

Great soundtrack, he was my favourite composer in the 50s,60s, 70s

[@songsmith31a]

A rousing personal favourite from the Bernstein array of fine western film scores, even preferred to the more famous music from "Thr Magnificent Seven".

[@barryfriedrichs3605]

Elmer also did the music for The Shootist, Big Jake, and True Grit. Great Music! In the Commancheros, Melinda, the blond woman with her daughter, played Joan O'Brien, had a theme called Melinda's Theme. I am just an emotional sap when that is played. It is a warm piece of music.

[@barryfriedrichs3605]

I left out The Son's of Katie Elder. Great Music. I put all of this music on a flash drive and play it in my truck.

[@countistvan]

"Still, when one has proven himself on the field of honor, one cannot very well turn tail and run, can one." "One can." Cue the music... Love it.

[@lehcaraz1]

Stuart Whitman more than held his own co starring with the Duke in this great western. Whitman went on from this to star in Cimarron Strip. It lasted only one season but is still regarded as one of the finest one hour western series made. High quality for the time.

[@shawnmichaelduncan5951]

Great movie

[@robertfallin2359]

A wonderful example of one of the all-time great, but forgotten western scores. Another is Elmer Bernstein's THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER, Jerry Goldsmith's RIO CONCHOS, Bruce Broughton's SILVERADO and Trevor Jones' LAST OF THE MOHICANS.

Interesting how a rhythmic motivation unifies the whole soundtrack here. Proof is the use of the main rhythmic figure in the final cadence. You see here an example of good using of ostinato. Influences of Stravinsky - the music composed from a rhythmic motivation, in true nietzschian sense - are present in this whole music.
