13th
Warrior
Written during the first weeks
of September 98 for producer and co-director Michael Crichton
after Graeme Revell's score was rejected. The music for The
13th Warrior is exactly the kind of miracle re-score Goldsmith
is famous for. If you thought his replacement for Air Force
One was impressive try this orchestral maelstrom. Just over
56 minutes of the heaviest Goldsmith orchestration and power
house thematic material you could wish for. Action cues are
not as complex as you might expect but then neither are the scenes in the movie.
Goldsmith's score is perfectly judged and his theme is a dominating set piece.
Expanded review to follow.
