Jerry Goldsmith - The Don Is Dead (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '1973

Tracks list

Intrada presents Jerry Goldsmiths score to the 1973 Universal Pictures film The
Don is Dead. Following Intradas earlier release this year of Take Her, Shes
Mine, Don is also a score never before released. Like other Goldsmiths scores of
the period such as A Step Out of Line, the composer chose a lean, gritty,
percussive apporach, focusing on the suspense and tension of the proceedings. On
top of the orchestra, Goldsmith introduces a lone, pulsating electronic motif to
complete the natural acousitics, performed on stage live with the orchestra. The
electronics provide a prominent rhythmic figure used during suspense scenes that
build slowly and climax in exciting bursts of orchestral violence. Although a
mafia film, sandwiched in between releases of The Godfather and The Godfather:
Part II, Goldsmith offers no sweeping traditional Italian melodies like those
films, but rather a more subtle theme for guitar and flute introduced later in
the film. The films love theme, Our Last Night is first heard in a vocal
arrangement, on which Goldsmith collaborated with his wife Carol. This Intrada
presentation of the complete score was mixed, edited and mastered from the
½” three-channel scoring session masters, stored in pristine condition
within the Universal vaults.
