The Wind And The Lion | Soundtrack Suite (Jerry Goldsmith)

[@brettc001]

I will see you again, Mrs Perdicaris... when we both like golden clouds on the wind.

[@tweedlebong3933]

"To Mr. Roosevelt, President of the United States. "You are like the wind, and I am like the lion. You blow, and the land is parched. I roar my defiance, but you do not hear. "We are different in another way, as well. I, like the lion, must stay in my place. You, like the wind, will never know yours. Rul Ali Achmed Raisuli, the Magnificent Lord of the Rif Sultan to the Berbers." A fitting ending to a magnificent film.

I agree this score is incredible but John Williams was nominated for The Towering Inferno and lost that year, the 1975 Best Original Score went to Nino Rota, & Carmine Coppola for THE GODFATHER PART II. The Towering inferno won the best original song but the oscar went to Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn, not Williams who composed the score. Still, perhaps the always underrated Goldsmith deserved an oscar for this among countless other scores.

This is why I sometimes get annoyed when people claim movies in the 70s didn't have "big old fashioned" orchestral scores until John Williams revitalized it with Star Wars. I love Williams as much as the next guy, but I don't think it's entirely fair to say that. Listen to The Blue Max from 1966, which is another throwback to the "Golden age" score. There are parts that sound a lot like what Williams did in 77 with Star Wars, pieces that channel Holst's The Planets.

[@timmccaffrey1326]

John Williams movie themes were very good but they all seemed to have had a certain similarity to each other, while Jerry Goldsmith was a far superior composer and his compositions were exceptional., Themes from Papillon to First Knight and countless others are really first class.

[@BoredomEnsues]

I agree. I'm really impressed with the range he had in his career. He went through many phases and was open to experimenting with new technology at the time and blending electronic and synthetic elements with traditional orchestral music. When you listen to his scores from the 60s and compare them to his later output in the 90s, it's hard to believe the music was composed by the same person.
