My all time favorite movie theme! The composer (Jerome Moross) was a genius. He also composed the great theme song to the classic 60's TV Western "Wagon Train'. Such beautiful music.....I never tire of listening to it. And thank you many times over for posting it for us to enjoy! :)

It's big and majestic. It IS the American West.

The only better than this EXCELLENT music is the movie itself. Rent it, buy it, steal it. Whatever you have to do. In my top ten Best movies ever made list.

"The Big Country" is almost an Elvis musical.

@TheRealColeKane We had proper cinema's then,building's with character.The screens were big,the seats plush and cheaper entertainment then.

Love this theme music. The absolute greatest theme music of any movie. If this composition doesn't describe the feeling and expanse of the American West, then I don't know what does. The Big Country is an awesome American epic.

Rufus Hannassey is the Western man in the good old days who is rough and savage but not despicable.

@b0ssmanroy I agree with you that Heston was terrific in his role, but I agree with tomnanD3 (comment of last October ... today is 6-16-11) .... Burl Ives was even greater in his supporting role. And the critics agreed with us (for whatever THAT is worth .... which is zero); Burl Ives won the Academy Award ("Oscar") for Best Supporting Actor. The scene in which Rufus Hannassey (Ives) crashes Henry Terrill's (played by Charles Bickford) fancy party is truly epic. Riveting performance by Ives!
