POSTER AVAILABLE @ MOVIE POSTERS

Jerry Goldsmith's body of work is unlike any other of his Hollywood peers. His work is as varied as the films that he scored. Most of his fellow composers have a certain repetitive sound to their music, but Jerry's is almost universally unique even unto itself. Who can ever forget the bone-chilling chords of Ave Santani from The Omen soundtrack. Without it, as with many of the films Goldsmith was associated, the impact would be muted.
