Masada - Jerry Goldsmith

[43varvara]

Un film cu muzica superba. Jerry Goldsmith, unul din cei mai buni compozitori pe care l-au avut S.U.A.

[rexrex118]

The choice has been left for me, We march on to Masada,( Peter O Toole.) Can't you see, Its Almost Over. If i can't take back to ROME, Then who Can.( Peter O Toole.)

[rexrex118]

I own the Mini Series on dvd, WOW, Awesome Score, it gave me Goosebumps when I first saw it in 1980's and again when I got it on Dvd. Also Spectacular Acting by Peter O Toole , Anthony Quale and Peter Strauss. thanks for the Score my friend. They Dont make Epic TV series back then or even Now. We got Tooooo many Reality Shows. Thank Goodness for DVDs and Our Choices to watch.

[elflife]

[dragonbands2]

I remember begging my parents to buy my the cassette of this music after this miniseries was shown.

[oldermusiclover]

does anyone know where i can recording of this song

[mlbustos]

@oldermusiclover at legalsounds

[mlbustos]

[tequiness061]

I remember perfectly this beautiful music, I saw this serie in my childhood and I cant forget it, Im happy cause I have found this awesome bso.

[f0revern0ty0urs2]

the wallpaper with those facial expressions really captures what played off in the series,

 the roman guy is looking up and almost amused by his task thinking"how do i get them from there...",while the guy on the right is determined to persist no matter what.

[Hrothgar01]

You are a great guy tyke. Great minds think alike.

[Hrothgar01]

That toon still gives me credit. I want it. Peter was great!

[tyke1290]

Any possibility of watching the whole movie. I also wouldn't mind re-seeing the following movies....Patton,....Lawrence of Arabia,...Tora, Tora....so many truly great historical  movies from the past. Ah I also see King Solomons Mines, The Russia House. They sure don't make movies like they use to do. Haven't been to a movie for a long time....nothing really worth spending $15/20 dollars to watch.

[tabfiend]

Sheer brilliance. I defy anyone who watches this magnificent mini-series not to see the basic similarities between the world then and the world now. Some things never change. And this theme music by Jerry Goldsmith is pitch perfect for the subject matter. He deserved his Emmy, no mistake.

[Israelitrojanking]

Epic!

[MegaRomiko]

ooooh great film and sing ......

[MegaRomiko]

ooooh great film and sing ...... i love love loveeeeee

[hijadeRey]

[yowauno]

I LOVE ALPHA BLONDY

[TheGavitar]

the gun is better

[DukeFanGermany]

The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra is awesome for new original arrangements of movie classic scores. best example's are "Red River" and "The Alamo", both original composed by Dimitri Tiomkin.

[Mrhobbetobbe]

Jeremy Goldsmith? I thought his birthname was Jerrald King Goldsmith.

[Mrhobbetobbe]

Both Elmer Bernstein and Jerry Goldsmith used orchestrators on most of their scores and I think it is pointless to compare two masters in their field of film composing.

[moshe1a]

Jeremy Goldsmith is one of the best composers of film music of all times!

[Funkgun]

Sweet! thanks man.

[Ifthenelse2244]

Someone disliked Maestro Goldsmith? Must have been jealous of him.

[dogbert2010]

Jerry Goldsmith can take any subject, any event, any story, any characture and his music becomes the focal point to the movie. Take a bad movie and add a Jerry Goldsmith score and now you have a better movie. The man was a master. Only John Williams can come that close to being the equal master. I own a lot of compositions by both and have not heard a bad composition yet by both.

@Sandadze1 - Long live Sakartvelo!

[andreaskollmuss]

Masada

[ussmissouri63]

"This a glorious victory for the Roman Empire!"

Silva:"Victory? We are on a rock in the middle of a wasteland next to a poisoned sea." This is probably one of the most memorable lines in the movie.

[bigpoppaplump462]

@ussmissouri63 Hear, Hear!

[eurorush1]

One of the best scores I`ve heared. Mix of cosacs and jude music.

[lm3909n]

WOW!!! This is the first time since 1979 since I've heard this WONDERFUL music from the series. Thank you sooooooo much for posting!

[ussmissouri63]

I actually had my bar mitzvah on top of Masada, it was such an incredible experience. All i could think about was how everything must've been like for the Israelis up there, and the movie just came back to my mind from when the Israeli soldiers first went up there, it's just a movie that once you watch it, it just stays with you no matter where you go. There are endless possibilities to think about this: The triumph, the battle, the honor. Absolutely incredible masterpiece by Jerry Goldsmith

[CarlDuke]

Great music, one of the best examples of theme music ever.

[Toyotomi]

A great theme for a great series! As the Romans might say 'Requiem in Pace' Jerry Goldsmith.

[rittervoneschenbach]

This is great music. I think that this was Anthony Quayle's last performance. I recall this as a child seeing Mr. O' Toole as a Roman general saying after all of this effort, in effect...all that I have conquered is a rock...why??? So many lives lost! I do not want anyone's life to be taken from them. People can be horrible, but forgiveness is in the language.

[ussmissouri63]

Nice soundtrack! 5/5 great job!

[vividwatch47]

The original 1981 album (later reissued on C.D. in 1990) is actually a rerecording. Let's hope they release the actual score on C.D..

[nostromo38]

Hard to find on CD. Selling upwards of $200 on ebay. I really wish they'd reissue this.

[jeepersfreepers]

I had the record of this soundtrack as a teen. Wish I would have kept it.

[tjallew]

fantastic all with this projekt is just perfekt to any body who tink's different.

I have Ingmar Stemark comenth

it's just to do it better your self

[jelostalin]

Where to get the full movie...

[PolarizedMechs]

It's out on DVD--check Best Buy or Hastings.

[Jal8919536]

Goldsmith also composed the music to another movie starring Peter Strauss -"The Secret of NIMH" (1982).

[Filmkaga]

Second best movie score of all time, only Star trek the motion picture beats it, but not by much.

Golsmith was true genious.

[vividwatch47]

I'm still waiting for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to give him a long overdue star on their Walk of Fame!

[spacexploder]

very catchy stuff

[scoretracker]

Great Soundtrack. Jerry has always been one of the best and I guess he will always be.

[tvengr4047]

I loved this miniseries when I saw it as a teen. The theme was to me, unforgettable.

[saintvaoul]

my favorite soundtrack!!!......thanks for uploading...........

[towringer]

I saw the miniseries on ABC in 1981 & recorded the end theme on audiotape using a mono cassette recorder held up to the TV speaker. I never knew who the composer was until now. Thanks.

[niebieskiesubaru]

Jerry "The Greatest" Goldsmith

[Aelkamal]

@niebieskiesubaru he could be at equal with Basil Poledouris !

[FredSchall]

Love the music.....Jerry Goldsmith an incredible master! The series was fantastic!

And....the opening with the Israeli Army so moving. When I visited Masada, this movie stayed on my mind. The history, the honor, the triumph!

[alufa1]

Shalom I would love to get the entire soundtrack that Jerry Goldsmith did for QBVII. Do you have any suggestions where to look? Thanks Heidi Helmick

[vividwatch47]

Dear Heidi, I'm waiting for an expanded version of Q.B.VII on C.D. too (in fact, it was the first Goldsmith score I heard, for which Pt. 1of the miniseries aired on my 13th birthday!).

[Cindylover1969]

I'd love to get the original music Jerry Goldsmith and Morton Stevens did for the miniseries (the LP is a rerecording); Goldsmith was going to score the entire thing, but delays and prior commitments meant he could only do the first half (Stevens scored the rest).

[darkangel10468]

Hey Cindy, I got the original soundtrack when it first came out. Yep, the vinyl one... I still have it my mom's I believe. I could check, but I don't believe Morton Stevens had anything to with the original. It has Jerry's sound to it from start to finish. Even this piece on youtube is not part of the original I have. Lots of added stuff. Anyway, that's my two cents.

[vividwatch47]

Hey darkangel, the L.P. you have is a rerecording. Let's hope the original soundtrack featuring both the score by Goldsmith and Williams comes out.

[vividwatch47]

Sorry, I meant Morton Stevens!

[Cramnella]

This recording is WAY better than the LP which I bought when it came out. I'd trade you a good recording of this for the LP.

[Hallenbach]

My favourite character in the series Masada would have to be Pomponius Falco. Inccidently , wahy do the Jews get the upbeat and energetic music and the poor bloody romans have to make do with that dirge of a march?

[LuvvyDuck]

I can't thank you enough for uploading this lovely "MASADA" theme!! They haven't shown this program in years. You really made my day! :)

[yanndick]

GOLDSMITH FOREVER !!

RIP

[Hibbs4Prez]

One of the all-time great themes.

[Chipchik]

Jerry Goldsmith is one of my movie music gods! I was a kid when I saw the sprawling miniseries. I had a thing for Barbara Carerra at the time! This brings back memories! I had the soundtrack on cassette tape and it's been so long lost it's not even funny! The whole score was/is awesome! He had a way with orchestration and intriguing instrument choices! He was a great composer. One of the absolute, undeniable best! Thank you for posting this.

[oberstul]

Man, I was so young when they played the movie on TV. I remember watching it one whole month (one part per week). I've loved the theme ever since. Great movie, great composer.

[anmidu]

Hacía más de veinte años que buscaba la sintonía de esta serie que retenía en mi memoria desde la infancia. Es más espectacular aún de lo que la recordaba

[nostromo38]

Excellent post. More than a great composer. Many of the films he scored were not worthy of his music which is okay, because most of his music stands alone just fine :)

[Cinemaficionado]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[darkangel10468]

I remember buying this record when the miniseries first came on tv. I loved it and the series. Jerry Goldsmith, in my opinion, was a great composer. He came up with so many great scores. And this one is no exception. With all the percussion, tamborines and horns, it's almost like he and the orchestra are actually JAMMIN. Anyway, may he rest in peace. He is surely missed.

[DMaustrap]

A fantastically hummable theme by Goldsmith for this TV movie.
