    Speaking of "Three Amigos"...

    I love the wacky theme that was used in the film's trailer, but I don't remember it being in Bernstein's score. Anyone know where the trailer music is from?

    (I know this belongs on the trailer-music board, but I figured, hey, while we're on the subject...)

    The Captain (James) mentioned clips available at DECONSTRUCTING GOLDSMITH. This is how to get there:

    Among the bits they have that still have not been released are: a wonderful short suite from ONE LITTLE INDIAN; and two separate pieces from RIO LOBO. His TV theme HOLLISTER is also very westernish.

    My favorite Goldsmith western (and one of my favorite Goldsmith scores) is 100 RIFLES -- but I sometimes wonder if that's a "western" score in the traditional sense. His excellent BANDOLERO, WILD ROVERS, HOUR OF THE GUN and BREAKHEART PASS (among others!) are more obviously "Western" scores. I think EXTREME PREJUDICE is a western in disguise, and that's another of my very very favorites of his -- but if you played it, you might never hear "western" in the sense you'd probably expect.

    NP: THE HAUNTING (not a western in disguise ... I wish he'd found room to write a really big version of the lovely main melody, it seems to want a huge POWDER-finale-type expression that it never gets)

    What!!!, I didn,t see How The West Was Won?
    Glad to see Shane on someone's list.
    When I first think of a western score I,m
    with alot of people on The Big Country. It
    was a big movie and a great score.
