Comment: Fifth installment of Western movie soundtracks, this time called "Hour of the Gun" and that covers two decades, the 60s and 70s. Thus, on this occasion, leaving the compositional bombast of the previous installments, in this case, we evolved to a more introspective sound and far from the great orchestrations that Western music had accustomed us to. And for this and, almost naturally, we are going to focus on the usual fight. In the dispute between the two greatest composers of the second part of the 20th century. And it is that yes, in the future this battle was going to be elucidated in the stars; long before, this battlefield was painted in the landscapes of the American West. With these tracks, do you know what two great composers we are referring to?
Well, of course, the usual ones, Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams. So, in this duel already served, we will begin this one, opening the stage in 1958 with Malcolm Arnold and "Las raíces del cielo" And after him, our first contender arrives who, as soon as we start, presents us with 2 suites: in 1962 " The brave walk alone" of which we will hear, two songs and, in 1964 "Rio Conchos"
After these, a brief dalliance of our second contender John Williams in 1966 and his "A lady among cowboys" For, in 1967, after the soundtrack of Harry Sukman in the television series "The great chaparral", return in an insulting way with the great Jerry Goldsmith and present us again with a film "Hour of the Gun" of which I will offer two songs, the last one, a long "Suite".
And with that, we come to the year 1969, and in an intermission, I will introduce you to two composers who are joining the stage and they are: Elmer Bernstein and his "Song" for his very recognizable "Valor de ley" and John Barry and his well-known " Midnight Cowboy" from which I will offer you two songs: "Amanecer" and his "Song" To end this enormous year, we are going with our second contender, John Williams and his "Los rateros"
And so, we come to 1970 and, with this, Dominic Frontiere's "Chisum" and, in 1972, John Williams's final bet with "The cowboys", from which we will hear two songs, including a "Suite" Countering him, Jerry Goldsmith , a year later, in 1973 with the soundtrack for the television series "Barnaby Jones"
And finally, and as a tribute to the great Californian composer, Jerry Goldsmith, "leave motive" of this selection that lasts approximately 1 hour, I will leave you his "Acorralado" from 1982 as the last soundtrack to enjoy it.
