Goldsmith preferred this score to all his others. It has some nice moments but nothing to lose control over.
Lilies of the Field [Soundtrack]Lilies of the Field [Soundtrack] by Original Soundtrack

Some of the tracks are effective but maybe the others are a little too reliant on the gospel song 'Amen'.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - Original Motion Picture SoundtrackStar Trek V: The Final Frontier - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith
Buy used from: $1.86
A gorgeous Americana opening melody-The Mountain with glorious open-fifths and then the rest of the score is a little too much electronic drums for my liking..(it was the 80s.)
GremlinsGremlins by Michael Sembello
How many composers could do comedy in music like Jerry? Cat-wailings, flatulent dissonances and the brilliant gremlin-rag! A pity the rest of the album is dedicated to 80s pop group rubbish.
Gremlins 2: The New Batch - Original Motion Picture SoundtrackGremlins 2: The New Batch - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy used from: $9.99
Although not as inventive as the first Gremlins score, some of this album packs a punch. With a new 'Gremlins Theme' that could never supersede the older version.
Rio Conchos: Original Motion Picture ScoreRio Conchos: Original Motion Picture Score by Jerry Goldsmith
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.95
Worth it for the bonus track from Jerry's Prologue to the 'Agony And The Ecstasy'. Some extremely good music with an Italian-Renaissance flavour, and remained a favourite of the composer.
Masada (1981 Television Mini-series)Masada (1981 Television Mini-series)
Buy used from: $44.99
A standout ethnic score!
Capricorn One INTRADA LTD. ED.Capricorn One INTRADA LTD. ED. by Jerry Goldsmith
Buy used from: $129.95
Outstanding, masculine score, that is heavy on the brass-section! And a lot of jazz-influenced scoring. Dynamic!
THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL (2 CDs) [Soundtrack]THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL (2 CDs) [Soundtrack]
Buy used from: $29.00
With a catchy viennese waltz as the main title, and variations of throughout. I am not sure if it merits 2CDs.. But the second CD has a symphonic suite that is a standout. Elaine Paige performs a song written for the movie by Jerry.
Capricorn OneCapricorn One by Jerry Goldsmith
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $7.39
Re-release of the initial National Philharmonic Orchestra recording. Briefer than the Intrada version but I love this, it is a more lyrical affair.
