Awesome! Hard to beat Hank Mancini when he picks up the pen. I actually dicsussed this title with him (those parallel 11ths are baritone horns.) One of my favorite titles from one of the great composers in film.

It's a stunningly beautiful cue, though I think the cut we hear above isn't quite as vibrant as the one heard in the actual film. You really have to watch that opening sequence.

I was at the soundstage the day Mr. Mancini and the orchestra was recording the musical soundtrack to the movie Nightwing.  The Burbank Studios, November, 1978. The scene I witness was where a character was climbing a rock...

Hello,

Soundtrack available on varese saraband label. Try ebay or screen archives entertainment websites. Main title track is available on a Mancini compilation called "Mancini in Surround" and "Mancini Monster Hits" both available on Amazon.

Hope this is helpful.

I think it has to do with killer vampire bats

What is this movie about?

[pookie67]

excellent score indeed, really elevates an otherwise so-so movie into something special. I always felt Mancini could do "haunting and atmospheric" so well, an area he didn't explore much but he did (Wait Until Dark, Experiment in Terror) it was always something special

Great music. Mancini could do tension and mood with the best of them. Would love to have a CD of the full score.

I had forgotten that Mancini did the music for this film; the theme always stuck with me. Listening to it, one almosts feels as if they are standing on top of the tallest mountain, looking out upon the endless landscape.
